Configuring Hardware

  1. How can I calculate the estimated income knowing the equipment?

  2. Why can't I see my workers on the EMCD pool?

    • The equipment takes 7-15 minutes to update the data on the first balls received by the pool. As soon as this happens, the equipment will be displayed on the site.

    • If the equipment does not appear on the site within 15 to 20 minutes, then contact our support service for help (via [email protected]).

  3. Which stratum server should I connect to?

    • For many of our mining pools, there are several URLs that you can connect your miners to. To improve connectivity and reduce latency (ping), we recommend that our miners connect to the region URL.

    • List of stratum servers based on location:

      • stratum + tcp: //gate.emcd.io: port - Russia

      • stratum + tcp: //eu.emcd.io: port - Europe

      • stratum + tcp: //kz.emcd.io: port - Kazakhstan

      • stratum + tcp: //cn.emcd.io: port - China

      • stratum + tcp: //us.emcd.io: port - USA

      • stratum + tcp: //ir.emcd.io: port - Iran

    • Ports:

      • BTC - 3333

      • LTC - 3434

      • BCHN - 5555

      • DASH - 8888

      • ETC - 7878

  4. What should I do if there are more than one device?

    • On the first device, for example, specify the name login. worker and on the second, specify the same login. only another worker for example login. worker2

  5. Why is the rejection rate so high?

    • Most often the problem occurs due to a high ping, check the speed of the Internet connection. RG (rejection rate) ~ up to 2%

  6. Can I mine on Nicehash through you?

    • Yes, but since the difficulty is set automatically, you may face a decrease in revenue

  7. What is merged mining?

    • It is the process of mining two or more cryptocurrencies at the same time. The advantage of merged mining is that you don't need to split the hashrate between mining multiple cryptocurrencies.

  8. What currencies does EMCD merged mining support?

    • In the EMCD pool, you can mine Litecoin (LTC) paired with Dogecoin (DOGE)

  9. Can I mine on HiveOS through you?

    • Yes

  10. Can I use the same name for multiple workers?

    • Yes, you are able to do that

Dashboard

  1. What is Watcher-link? How to use it?

    • Watcher-link shows statistics for all your workers online. To use this service, get an API key in the "Settings" section of your personal account, then go to watch.emcd.io and insert the API key.

  2. How do I add a subaccount?

  3. Why is the hashrate on the board lower than my local hashrate?

    • This is due to the fact that the pool does not work with hashes, it works with with shares, which, in turn, represent a statistical value. Based on the data sent by your workers for a certain period of time, the pool calculates and compiles a graph and hashrate statistics. The hashrate is used to inform and simplify the calculation of profitability, but in fact the pool makes accruals for the sent shares.

  4. How can I view my mining information?

    • You can view information about the operation of your devices and their statistics by clicking on the link pool.emcd.io/dashboard

  5. Why does the indicator near “My worker” is lit up yellow?

    • This means that the hourly hashrate is 30% lower than the daily hashrate. Check the connection speed or the "lstime" column in the "Miner Status" section. If the last share was formed more than 3-5 minutes ago, then presumably the Asic is "frozen".

  6. Why has the difficulty changed, but there are still no changes in the calculator?

    • The calculator shows the predicted data based on the profit of the pool for the day, so the actual cost for 1 TH/s can be viewed only 24 hours after the change in complexity.

Referral program

  1. How does the referral program work?

    • The EMCD referral program has 1 level: the referrer receives a reward only for those users who registered using his referral link. In other words, if Ann invited Bob, and Bob invited Stan, then Ann will receive a reward only for Bob's hash rate. Moreover, the higher the referral's hashrate, the greater the reward: from 0.05% to 0.5% of the referral's profit. Thus, using the referral program, you can earn from 3% to 30% of the pool's income. For example, if Bob's hash rate for BTC is 500 Th/s, Ann will save 3% of the pool commission. And if 30,000 Th/s – then 17%.

    • More detailed information on the gradation of referral percentages and the dependence on the hash rate is available in your personal account.

    • the rate of referral remuneration in the current month;

    • the projected rate of referral rewards for the next month;

    • history of referral charges and payments;

    • list of referrals;

    • the total amount of payments for the referral program.

  3. How much can I earn on the referral program?

    • Your income from participation in the EMCD referral program depends on the hash rate of the referred users. The higher the referral's hash rate, the greater the reward: from 3% to 30% of the pool income, which makes up from 0.05% to 0.5% of the referral’s income. You can familiarize yourself with the detailed conditions of referral rewards for each coin in your personal account.

    • Also you can use the referral calculator

      • In the authorized version (in the "Referral program" section), the calculator automatically enters the current referral level and referral hash rate of the user.
