// how it works

Mine on our nodes.
Settle on our desk.

OTC-POOLS runs low-fee mining pools on full nodes we operate ourselves, all feeding into one OTC desk. Here's the whole loop, end to end.

# The three pillars

01 Our own nodes

Every pool runs against full nodes we operate ourselves — the same infrastructure that settles OTC trades. Your shares hit a node we control, not a rented one. No custodial middle-man between the work you do and the chain.

02 One low fee

1% PPLNS, payouts on a fixed schedule, and transparent effort and orphan tracking. The fee funds node ops — nothing else. Same terms on every pool.

03 Sell OTC

Freshly-mined coin moves straight through OTC-DESK — settle real size without thin order books or exchange slippage. Mine it here, sell it on the desk, skip the exchange.

# The loop

POINT A MINER EARN PPLNS SHARES GET PAID EVERY 2H SELL ON THE DESK

Your worker shows up on the pool dashboard within a minute of connecting.

# PPLNS, and honest accounting

Pay-per-last-N-shares

Each block's reward is split over the last N = 50,000 valid shares, weighted by difficulty. PPLNS rewards steady mining and resists pool-hopping — you're paid for the work in the window, not for lucky timing.

Nothing counts until it matures

A found block is pending until it clears the chain's coinbase maturity (100 confirmations), because networks orphan blocks. We show effort per round and mark orphaned blocks honestly — you only get credited on blocks that actually stick.

# Every pool, same terms

Whichever chain you mine, the deal is the same: a flat 1% PPLNS fee, payouts on a fixed schedule, and the same maturity-and-orphan honesty on every block. Freshly-mined coin sells straight into the OTC desk. Point a miner and your worker shows up on the dashboard within a minute.
