How rewards move

Block → balance → payout

MangledPool payout flow
1Block foundNetwork creates a coinbase reward

The mined reward begins in an immature or locked state.

2Block maturesMiningcore confirms it is spendable

MangledPool waits for the network-required maturity before crediting rewards.

3Miner balancePPLNS or SOLO credit is calculated

Radiant PPLNS distributes according to valid work; SOLO credits the miner that found the block.

4PayoutMiningcore processes eligible balances

When your balance meets your configured threshold, the payment processor can send the payout and record its TXID.

PPLNS

What does PPLNS mean?

Pay Per Last N Shares rewards miners according to valid work in the payout window when the Radiant PPLNS pool finds a block. It is designed to reward sustained contribution without publishing private wallet dashboards.

SOLO

What does SOLO mean?

SOLO miners share MangledPool infrastructure but not each other's block reward. If your miner submits the valid block-finding share, the distributable reward is credited after maturity.

Threshold

Can I change my payout threshold?

Yes. Open your personal Miner Dashboard and use Settings. Miningcore verifies the miner IP and enforces the configured pool minimum.

Privacy

Where do I see my payout transaction?

Search your own mining wallet and open the personal Miner Dashboard. Wallet-specific payout history contains payment amounts and transaction IDs; pool-wide payment history is intentionally not public.

MangledPool modeBitcoin SOLO
Configuration

Recommended setup

ASIC web UI

Enter the MangledPool stratum endpoint, your BTC wallet address and an optional worker suffix.

Worker naming

Use WALLET.worker1 when your ASIC firmware supports worker suffixes.

Password

Most miners can use x unless your firmware requires another placeholder.

Important Bitcoin mining notes

  • MangledPool currently offers Bitcoin as SOLO only.
  • SOLO means your miner must submit the valid block-finding share to receive the distributable reward after the block matures.
  • Network difficulty and pool hashrate can change rapidly, so use the live MangledPool telemetry instead of a static estimate.
Block maturityMiningcore waits for the Bitcoin coinbase reward to mature before it becomes eligible for payout.

Hardware

What should I mine RXD with?

Best choiceRadiant-compatible SHA-512/256d ASIC
GPUPossible with compatible software, but dedicated hardware is generally more competitive
PPLNSShared payout mode based on valid share contribution across the payout window
SOLOBlock reward goes to the miner whose valid share finds the block
Configuration

Recommended setup

ASIC firmware

Enter the MangledPool RXD stratum endpoint and your Radiant wallet address.

Compatible GPU miner

Use software that explicitly supports Radiant SHA-512/256d when GPU mining.

Worker naming

Use WALLET.rig1 to keep rigs separated in the Miner Dashboard.

Before you connect

Important Radiant mining notes

  • MangledPool exposes separate Radiant PPLNS and Radiant SOLO pools.
  • PPLNS rewards depend on valid work in the payout window, while SOLO rewards only the block finder.
  • The personal dashboard includes live accepted/rejected/stale shares, workers, earnings, payouts and payment-threshold settings.
Block maturityMangledPool waits for Miningcore to mark the Radiant block reward mature before crediting and paying it.
