Mining guide / Pools

Mining pools

Pools that mine ZMR on the testnet. The project runs the official pool, and Rabid Mining runs Rabid Pool independently. The official pool takes a Sapling address (ntestsapling1…). Rabid Pool takes a transparent address (nm…). Testnet coins have no value.

Official pool

The project’s testnet pool. The mining guide sets your miner up for it with one command.

Rabid Pool

A testnet pool run independently by Rabid Mining. It pays miners straight from the coinbase of each block it finds, so it holds no pool wallet.

Coins paid to an nm… address are new coins from mining. They can be spent after 100 blocks, and only once they are shielded in zecnero-wallet. One shield takes up to 150 payouts; run it again for the rest.
