Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about connecting INIBOX ASICs and GPU rigs, PPLNS vs SOLO, payouts, and fees.

Getting Started
What is DrillHash?
DrillHash is a NEXA-only mining pool built for INIBOX ASICs and GPU miners. We run open-books PPLNS and SOLO with honest payouts and no hidden fees. Your wallet address is your account — no registration.
Do I need to register?
No. Just mine with your nexa: wallet address as your username. Your stats appear automatically when you look up your address on the wallet dashboard.
Which miners are supported?
INIBOX ASICs (firmware 5.0+, ~850 MH/s) and any NexaPoW GPU miner (Rigel, lolMiner, BzMiner). The pool auto-detects INIBOX and assigns the correct settings.
Which port do I use?
Port 3500 for PPLNS, port 3501 for SOLO. INIBOX connects to 3500 by default. Full details on the PPLNS and SOLO pages.
INIBOX Setup
How do I connect my INIBOX?
Log into your INIBOX web panel → Pool Settings → set Pool 0 URL to stratum+tcp://drillhash.com:3500, worker nexa:YOUR_WALLET.m1, password x. Firmware 5.0+ required. Difficulty is set automatically.
What INIBOX models work?
All INIBOX models on firmware 5.0+ (INIBOX 5A and variants). We detect INIBOX by its miner UA string and speak its native protocol, matching INIPool conventions.
Why is my INIBOX showing a low or fluctuating hashrate?
Small dips are normal as difficulty targets your unit (~850 MH/s expected). Check ambient temperature and confirm Pool 0 is the only active pool. Stable for 15+ minutes means you're correctly connected.
PPLNS & SOLO
What's the difference between PPLNS and SOLO?
PPLNS pays a proportional slice of every block based on your 1-hour share window — steady and predictable. SOLO pays you the full block reward (~500K NEXA) minus a 1% finder fee when you find a block yourself — high risk, high reward.
What are the fees?
PPLNS: 0% for the 7-day launch promo, then 1%. SOLO: always 1%, charged only when you win a block. No signup, maintenance, or withdrawal fees.
Payouts & Earnings
How often are payouts made?
PPLNS payouts run every 4 hours UTC in batches. SOLO rewards are credited instantly when your block is confirmed.
What is the minimum payout?
100,000 NEXA. Balances below threshold carry forward to the next cycle — nothing is lost.
How do I check my earnings and hashrate?
Enter your nexa: address on the wallet dashboard. You'll see real-time hashrate, workers, 14-day earnings, and payment history.
Troubleshooting
My miner keeps disconnecting.
Check your network connection and that only one pool is active. If reject-storms occur on INIBOX, our pool's soft-reject buffer prevents disconnect loops. Still stuck? Reach out on Telegram.
I'm seeing "High hash" rejections.
Occasional weak-share feedback is normal and by design — it keeps INIBOX firmware happy without rejecting real work. Genuine accepted shares are always credited.
