Mine on nodes we own.
Keep 99%.
OTC-POOLS runs low-fee mining pools, each on full nodes we run ourselves — not rented. Here's the whole loop, end to end.
# The three pillars
Every pool runs against full nodes we own and operate. Your shares hit a node we control, not a rented one — no custodial middle-man between the work you do and the chain.
A flat 1% PPLNS pool fee, payouts every 2 hours, and transparent effort and orphan tracking. The pool fee funds node ops — nothing else. Same terms on every pool.
otcminer is our own multi-coin miner. Its 1% dev fee is hardcoded and shown plainly — most closed miners hide ~5%. Run it, or bring your own; the pool treats every client the same.
# The loop
Your worker shows up on the pool dashboard within a minute of connecting.
# PPLNS, and honest accounting
Each block's reward is split over the last N = 50,000 valid shares, weighted by difficulty. PPLNS rewards steady mining and resists pool-hopping — you're paid for the work in the window, not for lucky timing.
A found block is pending until it clears the chain's coinbase maturity (100 confirmations), because networks orphan blocks. We show effort per round and mark orphaned blocks honestly — you only get credited on blocks that actually stick.
# Every pool, same terms
