📊 Live Pool Telemetry
Auto-refreshing every 5s⛏️ Mining Architecture & Modes Surface #3
Select your connection architecture: direct plug-and-play Stratum V1 or sovereign farm template construction via DATUM V3.
Zero-configuration mining for standard ASICs, GPUs, and CPUs. Point hardware directly to Sentinel's public Stratum endpoint.
- ✓ 100% Stock Firmware: Native Sia-Stratum V1 support for BM-S3, S11, A3, SC1, RTX GPUs, and CPUs.
- ✓ No Local Node: Sentinel pool builds block templates, validates work, and executes coinbase reward splits.
- ✓ Dynamic VarDiff: High-performance difficulty scaling from diff 1 up to diff 131k+ with 0% stale rate.
Farm-level decentralization and template sovereignty. Farm constructs block templates on local Bitcoin Knots; encrypted DATUM transports shares upstream.
- ✓ Template Sovereignty: Farm constructs and audits all transactions; zero pool transaction censorship risk.
- ✓ Standard Downstream Hardware: Existing ASIC and GPU rigs connect via normal SV1 to local farm gateway.
- ✓ Controlled Admission: Port 28915 DATUM ingress protected; admission via pre-shared pubkey federation.

Why Work-Weighted PPLNS-8D Matters for ASICs
▼
Traditional pools count raw share rows equally. This penalizes high-difficulty ASICs: submitting 1 share at diff 131,072 represents the same expected work as 128 shares at diff 1,024.
Our pool calculates reward shares strictly proportional to total expected hashes performed across the last 8 network difficulties of accepted work.
Coinbase rewards are split directly inside the block transaction (up to 512 outputs). Balances under the 546-sat dust limit roll up into the persistent owed ledger for subsequent block payouts.
❓
Frequently Asked Questions
▼
Do I need custom firmware for BM-S3?
No. Standard factory stock firmware is 100% supported. The gateway automatically adapts the BTCB2 work header to what the ASIC expects.
When do mining rewards mature?
Per Bitcoin consensus rules, coinbase transactions require 100 block confirmations before funds become spendable on-chain.
What is the minimum payout threshold?
Minimum payout per block is 546 satoshis (standard Bitcoin dust limit). Sub-546 balances roll into the owed ledger for the next pool block.
Is this pool protected against block withholding?
Yes. Built on the DATUM protocol with anti-block-withholding assignment slots to protect all honest miners.
