Mining Pools Explained: 2Miners Setup Guide
What Is a Mining Pool?
A mining pool is a group of miners who combine their computing power (hashrate) to secure the network and find blocks and earn rewards more consistently.
Instead of mining alone and waiting a long time for a reward, miners in a pool:
- Pool hashrate
- Work together to find blocks
- Receive smaller but more frequent payouts
Mining pools are ideal for beginners and professional miners alike.
How a Mining Pool Works
How multiple miners combine hashrate through a mining pool to submit blocks to the blockchain.
Why You Need a Mining Pool
When you are allocated hashrate on LazyPickaxe, your mining power must be connected to a pool.
LazyPickaxe supports custom pool configuration
