Clarification regarding Aleo rewards data anomaly on 2024-09-28

Due to an anomaly during the upgrade of our ALEO pool payment system, some users received higher payout amounts than their actual mining rewards on 2024-09-27. We have recalculated the reward data for affected accounts based on actual mining rewards on 2024-09-28. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

The corrected rewards data will be displayed as follows:

Balance: This section will display the data after deducting the mistakenly issued rewards. Due to this adjustment, it may be displayed as 0.

Rewards: This section will display the normal ALEO rewards for 2024-09-28.

Payouts: The erroneously issued rewards for 2024-09-27 will be recorded in the record of payouts on 2024-09-28. If your account balance after deduction reaches the minimum payout threshold (3 ALEO), a separate payout will be made on 2024-09-28.

FRACTAL BITCOIN

f2pool launches Fractal Bitcoin (FB) mining pool

f2pool has launched the Fractal Bitcoin (FB) mining pool, supporting both permissionless mining and merged mining with BTC. The FB pool applies 4% PPLNS as the payout scheme.

Option 1: FB permissionless mining

To participate in permissionless FB mining, users need to register an f2pool account and configure their mining machines with their f2pool account name. The f2pool FB pool RUL is stratum+tcp://fb.f2pool.com:5700.

When choosing this option, please select the FB cointype in the top right corner to view mining information after logging in. For setting up payout wallets and other payout operations, make sure to select the FB coin type before proceeding.

Please refer to this mining tutorial.

Option 2: FB and BTC merged mining

BTC miners can receive FB merged mining rewards after adding their FB wallet address. If you choose to receive FB merged mining rewards, please ensure you add your FB wallet address to your BTC account settings at your earliest convenience.

Please note, FB merged mining rewards will start accruing only when the wallet address is successfully added. Make sure to add your wallet address as soon as possible.

For instructions and essential information, please refer to our detailed tutorial.

These two mining options are separate systems. Mining rewards cannot be combined, and mining information will be displayed independently.

Also, for any option mentioned above, when setting up your payout wallets, ensure you add a wallet address that supports Taproot to avoid any potential loss of rewards.

Fractal is a scaling solution for Bitcoin, gradually extending the Bitcoin blockchain into a scalable computing system without breaking consistency with the Bitcoin main chain. FB uses the same SHA256d mining algorithm as BTC, allowing the use of the same mining machines. Visit Fractal official website for more information.

Thank you for choosing f2pool! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us through f2pool’s customer support channels. Happy mining!

ALEO

Aleo (ALEO) mining pool launched at f2pool

f2pool has launched our Aleo (ALEO) mining pool alongside the mainnet, implementing a 1% PPLNS payout scheme.

Please note that, as Aleo has not officially announced the launch of PoW mining, there is a possibility that current blocks may be invalid. Mining rewards are subject to the project team’s final announcement. Miners should carefully assess the risks before deciding to participate in Aleo mining.

Following the mainnet launch, f2pool users can add their Aleo wallet in their account settings to receive mining payouts. Refer to this guide.

Regarding previous mining activities (ALEO TEST3 and ALEO STAGING), wallet bonding and credit claiming are currently unavailable, resulting in temporary storage of mining credits in your account. We plan to distribute the mining rewards as per Aleo’s future plan. Stay tuned for our further announcements.

Aleo is a novel layer-1 blockchain platform that enables the creation of scalable and private applications using zero-knowledge cryptography. Aleo employs a hybrid consensus architecture called AleoBFT, which uses PoS to achieve instant finality for block confirmation and a PoW “coinbase puzzle” that rewards the development of faster techniques for proof generation.

ALEO is the native token of the Aleo network, which utilizes the zkSNARK mining algorithm. Currently, f2pool supports NVIDIA GPU devices for Aleo mining. For detailed configuration and specific requirements, please refer to this tutorial.

Please Note:

1. f2pool displays mining information for different stages of Aleo separately. The Aleo mainnet mining information will be shown under “ALEO”. To view testnet mining records, you can select them by their specific names.

2. The distribution of mining rewards for Aleo’s incentivized testnet necessitates a KYC process. If f2pool’s Aleo pool fails to pass Aleo’s official KYC verification following the launch of Aleo’s mainnet, the pool will be unable to convert the testnet credits, leading to miners not receiving their respective mining rewards. Additionally, f2pool will apply service restrictions on regions listed in Aleo’s official KYC rules. For additional information, please read Aleo’s official rules.

Thank you for choosing f2pool! If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us on our Aleo channel or open a support ticket.

BITCOIN

Notice on recent fluctuations in BTC mining rewards

Recent substantial fluctuations in Bitcoin network transaction fees (including transactions like RUNES, etc.) have caused significant instability in the “Bonus” portion of mining rewards. Additionally, the halving of the BTC block subsidy to 3.125 BTC happened on 2024-04-20, has significantly altered overall BTC rewards. For more detailed information, please refer to the records on your Revenue page.

Please note, the BTC revenue calculator and revenue estimation function are based on the previous day’s “Bonus” data (transaction fees). Due to current fluctuations, this has led to substantial discrepancies. Hence, it is recommended to rely on figures on the Revenue page following daily settlement.

Once the Bitcoin network stabilizes, transaction fees will normalize, and daily mining rewards will revert to regular fluctuations. Discrepancies between estimated and actual rewards will also decrease.

IRON FISH

IRON payout has begun, memo format addresses are supported

Our daily IRON payouts have started on 2023-04-23, and we now support memo format addresses. Please ensure that you check your address carefully before adding it. Once added, payouts will automatically occur once the payout threshold is reached.

If you haven’t added a wallet address yet, please set it up in your account settings by following this tutorial. For security reasons, the payout will pause for three days after any changes to a wallet address (newly created accounts within 7 days will not be affected).

Please note that if you need to add a memo format address for IRON payouts, make sure to add your memo after your wallet address, separating it from the address with a dot (Example: IRONaddress.Memo). Using an incorrect format will result in the loss of your funds and cannot be recovered.

If your IRON payouts are frozen due to a change in your wallet address before 2023-04-28 00:00 UTC, at 00:00 UTC, f2pool can manually unfreeze it for you. To apply, please reach out to the f2pool customer service channel and set the title as follows: IRON withdrawal + your f2pool subaccount name (apply for one account/subaccount at a time).

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at support@f2pool.com or open a support ticket.

For this contest, we will select 100 winners to share from a prize pool of 50,000 ETHF. This will be a 20-day mining contest that starts on 2023-04-07 at 00:00 UTC and ends on 2023-04-27 UTC.

The 50,000 ETH prize pool will be awarded to two groups of users:

1) 25,000 ETHF in total for 20 winners

The top 20 users with the highest hashrate percentage will receive a portion of the prize pool of 25,000 ETHF in proportion to their hashrate.

2) Another 25,000 ETHF in total for 80 winners

We will randomly choose 80 lucky users (the top 20 miners are excluded from this part) who joined this contest, with daily average hashrate no less than 500 MH/s during the 20 days event. Each one of the 80 winners will receive 1/80 of the 25,000 ETHF prize pool. (ie, 312.5 ETHF for each.)

Please note that anonymous mining is not available for ETHF, please choose logged-in mining. Also, cloud mining is excluded from this mining contest. f2pool reserves all rights for the final explanations for this event.

ALEO

Clarification regarding Aleo testnet 3 mining rewards

f2pool calculates the Aleo testnet 3 mining rewards based on the Incentives part displayed on its official explorer. “Incentives” stands for rewards for miners, while “Coinbase” stands for the total block rewards. “Incentives” is about 20% of “Coinbase”. Thus, the differences in standards will result in different rewards displayed on different mining pools. However, the results of two standards will be finally translated to basically the same amount of rewards that you receive afterward.

f2pool applies a calculating method based on Incentives and shows you the numbers that are closer to the actual Aleo rewards. Read more about Aleo incentivized rules.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at support@f2pool.com or open a support ticket.

Please stay tuned for our further announcement.

Aleo is a new layer-1 blockchain platform for creating scalable and private applications applying zero-knowledge cryptography, by using a hybrid consensus architecture named AleoBFT, which leverages PoS to achieve instant finality for block confirmation. It leverages PoW “coinbase puzzle” that rewards the development of faster techniques for proof generation.

Currently, you may mine on Aleo testnet 3 with your Nvidia GPUs at f2pool. Please refer to this guide for the requirements and configuration.

Please kindly note that, in order to receive incentivized testnet rewards, KYC process is required after launching the mainnet. If f2pool cannot pass through KYC by the Aleo project team, we will not be eligible to receive rewards from the network and thus cannot distribute them to you. Also, we will restrict our services to the regions that are under Aleo official’s restriction, for more information please check here.

Adjusting the Transaction fees of ETH payouts

The London Hardfork has implemented a fundamental change in Ethereum’s new fee structure. Due to these changes, the costs of sending on-chain payouts have increased significantly. We have thus decided to adjust the transaction fees of ETH mining revenue payouts starting August 18, 2021 0:00 UTC. The fee per transaction will be deducted before daily payments and will be recorded on your revenue page.

If you have any questions, please contact our support team at support@f2pool.com or open a support ticket.

ETHEREUM

Upcoming Ethereum’s London hardfork

The Ethereum network will perform an upgrade on block height 12,965,000, which is estimated to happen at about 12:00, August 5, 2021, UTC. We’ve upgraded our node and set up Flashbots MEV, as Ethereum miners with F2Pool you do not need to do anything specifically for the upgrade.

After the upgrade, the fixed block reward will remain the same, however, the gas fee structure will be adjusted to “BaseFee + Tips”. The BaseFee in each block will be burned and the Tips will still be a part of the miner’s income. Due to the fees burned, there will be possible decreases in fees. As fees are a result of network activity, this is usually hard to estimate since it’s subject to the actual gas fees mined.

The London upgrade will also push back the difficulty bomb to December 2021. Before the bomb is triggered, you may continue taking part in Ethereum mining.

Ethereum DAG file size will reach 4 GB on December 25

The Ethereum DAG file size is estimated to reach 4 GB on December 25, 2020 at 2:00 UTC. After that, mining Ethereum with 4GB GPUs or ASICs will be affected. Miners can refer to the following ways to deal with the change:

1. Use software like Bminer v16.4, lolMiner or Teamredminer. Both of these support continued mining of ETH with 4 GB memory devices but with some loss of hashrate, since every time the epoch file grows in a 4 - 5 day cycle, the hashrate will decrease slightly.

2. Modify your GPU’s onboard memory units. Find a reliable service provider to change the miner’s memory units to a higher capacity to continue mining ETH.

3. Switch to other networks with your current, unmodified hardware. 4 GB GPUs will continue work on mining other coins such as BEAM, RVN, SERO, and ETC. You may refer to the f2pool Popular Miners page to see revenue information on different networks.

BCH

Our handling of the BCH hard fork upgrade

BCH (Bitcoin Cash) will undergo a network upgrade on November 15, 2020 at about 12:00 UTC. The upgrade may result in two different chains and additional tokens due to the differences of opinion between two main BCH clients, Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA) and Bitcoin Cash Node (BCHN).

We will take the following steps to ensure the security of our users’ assets:

1. When the upgrade completes, our BCH pool will be transitioned to a BCHN pool.

2. Starting from 23:40 UTC on November 14, 2020, BCH mining as part of the BTC Profit-Switching (SHA256d) pool will be suspended. BSV and BTC mining will remain available.

3. Due to the lack of transaction replay protection and the risk of on-chain transactions during the upgrade, BCH payouts will be paused from November 15 on.

4. If the upgrade results in additional tokens, we will credit them at a ratio of 1:1 based on BCH balances on November 15, 2020 at 12:00 UTC.

5. When the upgrade completes and the chains stabilize, we will release further announcements about when we will resume payouts and BCH mining in the BTC Profit-Switching (SHA256d) pool, our support for BCHA mining, the distribution of new tokens, etc.

4G GPU cards to stop being supported for mining ETH on Windows

As the size of the Ethereum blockchain continues to increase, ETH mining requires GPU cards with more memory to store DAG files. Starting from about October 17, 2020 UTC, it will no longer be possible to mine ETH with 4G GPU cards on Windows machines.

In order to continue mining with 4G GPU cards, please try one of the solutions below.

1. Switch to Linux or a dedicated mining operating system. ETH can be mined with 4G GPU cards using these operating systems until the end of December 2020.

2. Increase memory size to 8GB to avoid future problems caused by the increasing size of the DAG file.

3. Start mining other coins, such as BEAM, RVN, SERO, etc. You can check the daily revenue of these coins here before making a decision.

Optimization for checking mining revenue

We have made an optimization for checking mining revenue. “24 Hours Revenue” has been replaced with “Yesterday’s Revenue” to make the process more convenient.

In f2pool’s previous revenue data, “24 Hours Revenue” was defined as your revenue from 24 hours previous up to the time you checked the data. Our users often mistook it for the previous day’s revenue.

After collecting opinions from miners, we removed “24 Hours Revenue” from our revenue data and replaced it with “Yesterday’s Revenue” to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of the data. Now, “Yesterday’s Revenue” stands for the previous day’s revenue, on a settlement day (payouts circle) basis.

Compensation Due to Abnormality of ETH Pool on August 16, 2020

We had an abnormality in our ETH pool during an upgrade from 9:30 to 11:00 UTC on August 16, 2020. Some ETH miners who were mining with a username encountered hashrate declines or disconnections.

To recover losses, we have decided to recalculate the revenue of the affected miners in terms of their actual hashrate during this period and make compensation. The relevant data has been collected, recalculation has been completed, and the compensation will be distributed into affected accounts on August 20, 2020 UTC.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We continue to provide a reliable mining pool service.

f2pool Supports PPS+ Payment Method for ETH Wallet Address Mining

From 2020-08-01, f2pool will support the PPS+ payment method for ETH wallet address mining. Miners who use a wallet address to mine ETH will now also get a share of the mining fee, as a bonus.

PPS+ is a combination of two models, PPS and PPLNS. The block reward is settled according to PPS, and the transaction fee is settled according to the PPLNS model. It means that with PPS+, the miner obtains additional income from a portion of the transaction fee based on PPLNS.

For coins that have growing transaction fees, adopting the PPS+ method helps miners increase their revenue.

Solutions to Issues of Mining ETH On 4G GPU Cards

Some 4 GB GPU mining cards have encountered issues, including lower than expected hashrate, errors in the mining software and disconnections while mining ETH.

As the ETH Epoch continues to increase, ETH mining requires GPU cards with a larger memory space to store DAG files. Claymore’s latest version is no longer able to support ETH mining on 4 GB GPU cards anymore. This has caused some miners using Claymore and 4 GB GPU cards to have issues mining ETH.

In response to this problem, many mining software providers have provided solutions:

Bminer and PhoenixMiner have already optimized their mining software and miners can continue mining ETH on 4 GB GPU cards using the latest version of Bminer and PhoenixMiner.
