Your wallet and how payouts work

3 steps · about 5 minutes

  1. Get an address you control

    A Pearl address starts with prl1 (or rprl1 on testnet). Make one in a Pearl wallet and keep the keys. prlscan.com is the usual starting point.

    Only ever mine to an address whose keys you hold. The pool pays on its own schedule, to whatever address the shares arrived under. If that address belongs to an exchange account, a friend, or a wallet you have since lost, the payout still goes there and it is not reversible.

    Keep one address per person, not per rig. Use --worker to tell rigs apart instead — all of them credit to the same balance.

  2. Put it in the miner

    The address is the whole registration. There is no account to create, no email, no password — the pool learns your address the moment your first share arrives.

    ./SRBMiner-MULTI --algorithm pearlhash \
  --pool stratum.linkrra.com:5567 \
  --wallet prl1your-address-here --worker rig1

    Everything the pool knows about you is in that line. If you mistype the address, your shares credit to whoever owns the address you typed, so paste it rather than retyping it.

  3. Watch it accrue, then pay

    Look your address up on the dashboard to see accepted shares, your workers and your balance.

    Payouts: PPLNS, with a 1 PRL minimum. Below that your balance simply keeps accruing. There is no extra pool fee on top of the upstream pool's own, which is currently 0%.
    One housekeeping rule worth knowing: a balance below the minimum payout that has had no shares for 30 days is returned to the pool. If you mine briefly, stop, and never reach 1 PRL, that dust does not wait for you forever.
Notes

PPLNS, in one sentence: you are paid for your share of the work over a recent window rather than per block found, which smooths what you receive and means joining and leaving does not cost you the work you already did.

Why you may see no blocks on our stats. This pool reaches the wider Pearl network rather than hunting blocks alone, so a block-found counter here is not the figure that describes your odds — your odds are those of the full network your shares join, which is the point. Your payouts come from that stream, split by the work your workers actually did.

Address formats, because it has bitten us. Pearl addresses can be encoded under two different conventions and they are not interchangeable. Always copy the address straight out of your wallet; never hand-build one, and never assume two addresses are the same wallet because they look similar.

Getting paid in a stablecoin instead of PRL is on the roadmap, and so is the USDC side of serving income. Neither is sending money today — see serve and mine for exactly what is and is not live.

Troubleshooting a missing balance: check the address on the dashboard first. Accepted shares but no balance usually means you are below the 1 PRL minimum. Healthy local hashrate with rejected shares is an outdated miner, not a payout problem — see the compatibility page.
