Quantus mining pool. PPLNS or solo, paid every hour.

No. Your Quantus payout address (it starts with qz) is your identity on the pool: put it in your miner as the login and shares are credited to it from the first one. There is no sign-up, no password and no withdrawal button, because the pool never holds a balance you have to ask for: it pays the address on a schedule.

To see your rigs, paste the same address into the dashboard. The browser remembers it; nothing is stored on our side beyond the shares it sends.

Quantus is post-quantum, so an ordinary Substrate wallet or subkey does not produce a valid address. The simplest way is the official Quantus Wallet app (iOS, Android): create a wallet, write the recovery phrase down offline, and copy the qz… address from the main screen.

On a machine with no phone, the quantus-cli release does the same from the terminal: quantus wallet create --name pool prints the address, and quantus wallet export --name pool --format mnemonic --output ./seed.txt saves the recovery phrase.

Any miner that speaks one of the two Quantus mining protocols. Over QUIC that is quantus-miner/2, used by the chain's own quantus-miner and by Qelvminer; over TCP it is the stratum login dialect that SRBMiner-MULTI and other third-party miners use, on port 4444 (4443 with TLS). Both gateways feed the same share ledger, so the miner you already run keeps working.

Qelvminer is our own build for NVIDIA cards, published with its SHA-256 and a 1 % dev fee you can see on the dashboard. It is an option, not a requirement.

The mode is picked by the port you connect to, not by a flag. On the PPLNS port (QUIC 9834, stratum 4444/4443) every block the pool finds is shared among the rigs that contributed work to the window before it, in proportion to that work. On the solo port (QUIC 9844) a block you find pays you alone, less the solo fee, and nobody else's blocks pay you.

PPLNS smooths income for a small rig; solo is a lottery with the same expected value and a far longer wait. The dashboard shows the effort of the current round in both modes.

A flat 1 % pool fee, PPLNS or solo, the same for everyone, stated on every page that mentions earnings. Quantus itself keeps a 0.04 % wormhole exit fee on every block reward when it leaves the chain's reward address; the pool credits blocks net of that and takes its 1 % on the net.

Qelvminer adds a 1 % dev fee, mined as a second session from the same rig with the worker name plus -fee, visible on the dashboard like any other rig. The chain's own quantus-miner and third-party miners take nothing extra here.

Your hashrate divided by the network's, times what the chain mints in a day, less the fees above. The Quantus mining calculator does it with the live difficulty and QTC price, and lists what an RTX 3060, 3070, 4070, 4090, 5070 and 5090 earn per day at their measured hashrates.

The figure moves every hour with the network hashrate and the price, and it does not include your electricity. In PPLNS it arrives as a share of every block the pool finds; in solo, as a whole block, rarely.

Every hour. A block first has to mature (110 confirmations, about 25 minutes at the chain's 12 to 15 s block time); once it is credited, any balance above 0.10 QTC goes out in the next hourly batch. One transaction pays up to 64 addresses, which is what keeps the threshold low. Every payout carries its transaction hash on the dashboard and on the explorer. A balance that stays below 0.10 QTC is kept for you while you mine; if a wallet stops mining for 7 days, whatever has not reached the threshold expires and stays with the pool.

The native protocol runs over QUIC, which is UDP, and some networks block it. Test from the rig with nc -zvu quantus.qelvhash.com 9834; if nothing comes back, open outbound UDP to that port on the firewall or router, or use the stratum port over TCP instead. Qelvminer 1.1.4 switches to the stratum TLS port by itself when QUIC keeps failing, with the same certificate pin.

A hashrate that drops right after a start and climbs back over a few minutes is the pool's variable difficulty settling on your rig, not a fault.

In the Qelvpool Telegram group: t.me/qelvhash. It is run by the people who operate the pool and write Qelvminer, so it is the place for a rig that will not connect, a number on the dashboard you do not understand, or a bug.

To get a useful answer fast, say what you run (operating system, GPU, miner and version) and paste the last lines your miner printed. Never post a recovery phrase or a private key: nobody from Qelvhash will ask for one, in the group or in a private message.

Barely, and the pool compensates for it. It measures each connection's round trip and adjusts the share difficulty, so a rig far from the server spends the same tiny fraction of its time on network latency as one next door. There is nothing to configure and it works with any miner.

No. Quantus is the chain; Qelvhash is an independent operator that mines it. We are not the official pool, we do not speak for the project, and nothing on this site should be read as coming from it.
