Get a BTX receive address
You need a BTX address to receive payouts. The easiest options:
- If you already run
btxd:btx-cli getnewaddressreturns a transparentbtx1z…address ready to use. - If you don't run a node yet: see the dexbtx GitHub org for a wallet quickstart, or ask in the BTX community channels for help bootstrapping.
Note: BTX mainnet uses p2mr (witness-v2) addresses prefixed with btx1z…. They look longer than Bitcoin addresses — that's expected; the post-quantum signature scheme uses larger keys.
Download a miner
Recommended: dexbtx-miner — single static binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Tuned for the BTX matmul kernel; works on CPU or NVIDIA GPU.
Alternative: any BTX-compatible stratum v1 miner can talk to the pool. The protocol is standard stratum with BTX work payloads.
Run the miner
Linux/macOS/Windows (one line, single quotes preserve the URL):
dexbtx-miner \ --pool 'stratum+tcp://stratum.minebtx.com:3333' \ --address 'btx1z…YOUR_ADDRESS_HERE…' \ --worker 'rig-01'
The --worker tag is optional but lets you tell rigs apart on the dashboard. Pick any short label.
Verify it's working
Within a minute or two, the miner should report accepted shares. Then:
- Check the live dashboard — your worker should appear in the "Active workers (24h)" count.
- Watch the "Recent blocks" table for blocks the pool finds.
- For machine-readable status, hit
/stats.
How are payouts calculated?
PPLNS (Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares). Your share of each found block is proportional to your share count within the most recent N shares accepted before the block. PPLNS resists pool-hopping and rewards consistent miners.
When do I get paid?
Payouts are batched once per week. There is no minimum threshold — every active address with a non-zero balance gets a payout transaction. Batching keeps on-chain fee costs reasonable for small balances.
What does the 2.50% fee fund?
100% of fees accrue to a transparent user treasury, not an operator pocket. The treasury address is published on the live dashboard — you can verify the balance on-chain at any time. Long-term, treasury funds will go to community-aligned initiatives.
Where does my coinbase go?
The pool collects coinbase rewards into pool-controlled outputs, then pays you (and other miners) at the weekly batch. This is standard pooled mining; you trade direct coinbase custody for variance reduction.
Can I solo-mine instead?
Absolutely — point dexbtx-miner at your local btxd instead of the pool. The miner has a solo mode. We recommend it once your sustained hashrate is meaningful relative to the network.
Is there a Telegram bot?
Yes — @btxdexbot on Telegram. Currently supports /stats, /mybalance, /blocks_today, /help.
