Prime is not answering right now. Window, gateway and payout figures are the last ones it published.
- Paid in the block itself. No pool balance, no withdrawals. When a block is found, its coinbase pays your address directly. See the next payout.
- Bring your own gateway, keep 99.5%. Run Bitcoin Knots and a stock DATUM gateway: your node builds the block, the pool only sets the split. Public stratum is 2.5%. Connect.
- Verifiable end to end. Every share is rebuilt and hashed; every block found is on the Lazarus Mempool. Source on GitHub.

The exact coinbase the pool hands to every gateway — whoever finds it, this is how it pays
Coinbase outputs, largest first

Window % is each address’s share of accepted work in the window; BTC is its output after that miner’s fee. Amounts assume the base subsidy — transaction fees in the block scale every output up in proportion. A share whose coinbase pays anything else is refused.

Our public gateway on :23334 is itself a DATUM gateway on this Prime — you will see it under Gateways — so work here and work through your own gateway land in the same window under your address. New sessions start at difficulty 4096; vardiff then steps 2× every ~20s toward your hashrate.
You build the block. We only split the coinbase. Run Bitcoin Knots (BLAKE2b) and a stock datum_gateway, point the gateway at Prime, and point your miners at the gateway. Your node chooses the transactions; Prime hands your gateway the coinbase split for the window, verifies every share, and credits your address. If your miner finds the block, it is your template with everyone’s payout in it.

stratum + datum sections of datum_gateway_config.json
- Run Bitcoin Knots for the BLAKE2b chain with
server=1and a cookie or RPC user the gateway can read. - Build the gateway, merge the
stratumanddatumsections above into its config, and setmining.pool_addressto your payout address. Leftover value the split does not name goes there. Stock DATUM defaultsstratum.vardiff_minto 16384 if you omit it — that is the floor and the start, and Prime cannot lower it. Set 4096 so new sessions start there; vardiff still climbs for faster boxes. - Point miners at your gateway’s stratum (usually
stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:23334). Usernameaddress.worker: the part before the first.is who gets paid and must be an address this chain accepts. - Watch your gateway appear under Gateways and your address under Miners. The first job a stock gateway publishes, before Prime’s first coinbaser reply lands, pays only its own address; Prime accepts that work and, if such a job found a block, records what the pool then owes the window.
Who gets paid, by gateway setting
| Gateway setting | Username the pool receives | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
pool_pass_full_users: true(the config above) |
the miner’s own stratum username, unchanged | each miner’s address, so miners behind one gateway are paid separately |
pool_pass_workers: truepool_pass_full_users: false |
the gateway’s mining.pool_address, then . and the miner username |
the gateway address; the worker name still reaches the pool |
both false |
the gateway’s mining.pool_address alone |
the gateway address; no worker name reaches the pool |
Solo is a bet, not a wage. Your shares buy you nothing — they only prove you are working. When one of them is a block, that block’s entire reward goes to the address in your username, less our fee, paid in that block’s own coinbase. Until then you earn nothing, however long you mine. Pooled mining pays you a steady share of every block the pool finds; solo pays you rarely and enormously. Most miners should stay pooled.

Solo work is kept out of the TIDES window on purpose. Point some miners at solo and others at the pooled ports if you want both; the pooled ones keep earning their window share while the solo ones chase a whole block. Your solo shares will never appear under Miners or in Next payout — look under Solo instead.
Already running your own node? Then solo mine against it directly — you do not need us for that, and you should not pay us for it. These ports are for miners who want to solo without running a node.
Solo
Mining for the whole block. Separate from the pool’s window — none of this work is paid a share of anything.

Found by Lazarus, then the rest of the chain
Paid in the found block’s coinbase, split by accepted work in the TIDES window, less each miner’s fee. Open a block to see every output. Coinbase outputs are spendable after 100 confirmations. Every block is also on the Lazarus Mempool.

How it works
For newcomers and operators alike
1 · You hash, the pool counts
Point a miner at the public stratum, or at a DATUM gateway you run. Either way your username is your Bitcoin address. Every share you send is rebuilt into a full BLAKE2b header and hashed by Prime; accepted work is credited to your address in the TIDES window.
2 · The window decides the split
The window holds the last 8 × network difficulty of accepted work — days of pool work at typical hashrate, not the last hour. A found block pays each address in proportion to its share of that window, less its fee. A new rig starts near 0% and ramps as its work enters and older work ages out.
3 · The block pays you directly
Prime hands every gateway the same coinbase output list — the one shown under Next payout. A share whose coinbase pays anything else is refused, so whoever finds the block, it pays the window. There is no pool balance to withdraw and no operator to trust with your coins.
