Choose Your Mining Pool
with Sazmining

A mining pool combines the hashrate of many miners to increase the frequency of finding blocks. Instead of waiting months or years to mine a block solo, you receive regular payouts based on your contribution to the pool's total hashrate. For any miner without massive industrial-scale operations, pools are essential for generating consistent revenue.

Yes, absolutely. You can switch between supported pools at any time. The process is straightforward—just let the Sazmining team know your preference, and we'll reconfigure your miners to point to your chosen pool. There's no penalty or fee for switching.

Mining pools charge a small percentage fee (typically 0-3%) from your earnings to cover their infrastructure costs and services. Luxor charges 2% for FPPS, while Ocean operates on a different model. These fees are automatically deducted from your payouts, so you always receive your net earnings.

Both Luxor and Ocean offer frequent payout schedules. Luxor provides daily automatic payouts once you meet the minimum threshold. Ocean's TIDES system distributes rewards based on your contribution. Your Sazmining dashboard will show pending and completed payouts in real-time.

Full Pay-Per-Share (FPPS) pays you for your contributed hashrate regardless of whether the pool finds a block, plus a share of transaction fees. This eliminates variance and provides predictable income. Other methods like PPS (without transaction fees) or PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) have different risk/reward profiles. Luxor's FPPS offers maximum payout stability.

Both Luxor and Ocean are reputable pools with strong security practices. Luxor holds payouts until distribution, following industry-standard security protocols. Ocean's non-custodial model means they never hold your Bitcoin—it goes directly from the network to your wallet. Both approaches are secure, just philosophically different.

Yes, if you have multiple miners deployed with Sazmining, you can split them between pools. For example, you might point half your fleet to Luxor and half to Ocean to experience both approaches or hedge your payout strategies.

Both Luxor and Ocean maintain robust infrastructure with high uptime. However, if issues occur, Sazmining's monitoring systems detect downtime immediately. We can quickly switch your miners to a backup pool or alternative to minimize lost hashrate. Our operations team handles this proactively.

Pool choice primarily affects payout consistency and structure rather than total long-term profitability. FPPS pools like Luxor reduce variance, while other payout methods might have slightly higher or lower returns depending on luck. Transaction fee distribution and pool fees (typically 0-3%) are the main profit differentiators. Over time, reputable pools yield similar total returns.

Consider your priorities: if you value predictable income and detailed analytics, Luxor is excellent. If you prioritize self-custody, transparency, and supporting decentralization, Ocean aligns with those values. Many miners start with one pool and experiment with others over time. The Sazmining team can discuss your goals and recommend the best fit for your situation.
