Mining Guide

⚠️ Solo Mining Pool

This is a solo mining pool — no PPLNS, no PPS. Each miner mines independently.

Whoever finds the block receives the full block reward directly in the coinbase transaction, minus the pool fee. [Pool fee: 2%]

With low hashrate, you may mine for a long time without finding a block. For consistent payouts, consider p2pool.

Option A — single command:

./xmrig -o xmr.eu.ownblock.io:4242 -u YOUR_MONERO_ADDRESS.WORKER --coin XMR

Option B — config file (config.json):

{
  "pools": [{
    "url": "xmr.eu.ownblock.io:4242",
    "user": "YOUR_MONERO_ADDRESS.WORKER",
    "coin": "XMR"
  }]
}

Replace YOUR_MONERO_ADDRESS with your Monero wallet address and WORKER with your desired worker name (e.g. rig1).

The worker is appended to the address with a dot: ADDRESS.WORKER.

⚠️ Important: this pool only accepts standard Monero addresses starting with 4, required by the direct coinbase payment system.

🟢 NiceHash

NiceHash is fully compatible with this pool and is the recommended way to rent hashpower. When creating a new order on NiceHash, use port 9010 and your Monero address as the username. NiceHash provides stable, on-demand hashpower which is ideal for solo mining.

Enter these values in the NiceHash order form:

Algorithm

RandomX

Host

xmr.eu.ownblock.io

Port

4242

Username

4YourAddress…xyz.workername

Your Monero address (starts with 4) followed by .workername — e.g. 4AbC...xyz.rig1

Password

x

Any value works, x is conventional

⚠️ Important: this pool only accepts standard Monero addresses starting with 4, required by the direct coinbase payment system.

⚠️ MiningRigRentals (MRR)

MiningRigRentals is compatible with this pool. However, be aware that some rigs listed on MRR may actually be NiceHash resellers — you may be paying a markup over NiceHash prices. We recommend verifying the rig source when possible, or using NiceHash directly for a better price.

🔒 Hashpower Orders in XMR (No KYC)

A dedicated marketplace for hashpower orders priced and paid in XMR — no KYC, no registration, complete privacy — is coming soon to ownblock.io. Stay tuned.

🔔 Telegram Alerts

OwnBlock can send you real-time Telegram notifications for events like a block found by the pool, hashrate drops, miner disconnections, and more. Alerts are configured per coin and are entirely optional. They require a free OwnBlock account — no KYC, no email required — with at least one verified mining address.

💡 Want Consistent Payouts? Try p2pool

If you want consistent, regular payouts proportional to your hashrate, consider p2pool — a decentralized mining pool built into Monero. It provides PPLNS rewards without a centralized operator. It requires running a full Monero node but offers the best combination of decentralization and regular income. p2pool.io
