Everything specific to this pool. For how rewards, rounds and payouts work in general, see how NurseryPool works.

connection

Point your miner here, using your Monero address as the username:

./xmrig -o xmr.nurserypool.com:3355 -u YOUR_XMR_ADDRESS.rig_name -p x --coin monero

Standard Monero addresses starting with 4 or 8 are accepted. The rig name after the dot is optional.

Any RandomX-capable miner works — xmrig is the usual choice on CPU. GPU mining Monero is possible but rarely worth it; RandomX is designed for CPUs.

about this pool

This pool mines on the P2Pool Mini sidechain, a decentralised Monero mining network. The pool participates as a single miner there, and redistributes what it receives among its own miners using the per-round rules described in the general help.

All share difficulties are fixed at 100 000, so every share represents the same amount of work for everyone. The share count in your miner's log matches what the dashboard shows.

Monero locks freshly mined coins for 60 blocks, roughly two hours. Your earnings appear as locked until then, which is normal and applies to every Monero pool.

troubleshooting

Miner will not connect. Check the port is 3355 and that nothing on your side blocks outbound connections. Retype the command rather than pasting it from a web page — invisible characters copied from a browser are a common cause of "no such file or directory" errors.

My address does not appear. Stats take up to a minute to show up after your first accepted share. Check that your address has no typo and that your miner reports accepted shares.

My hashrate looks different from my miner's. The dashboard averages over several minutes; xmrig shows instant and 10-second readings. Compare over a longer window.
