Most important! Mining-Dutch is created by miners for miners.
We noticed that there was no place for the more skilled and well schooled miners anywhere on the web.
Since all pools are either Yiimp ( based ) or PPS with lots of shady hidden stuff going on.
We descided to make our own pool, at first only for solomining with our own equipment.
When we realised that it worked very well, we opened the pool for public and have been building, improving and optimizing the pool eversince.
Since our opening in 2014 we've come a long way.
Today we think it's safe to say, we are a pool that has it all.
SOLO, PROP, PPLNS and PPS, all combined with multiport and even self customizable multiports. Full control over your miners, all controlled from the UI.
It's our highest priority to provide you with a transparent pool, Where everything is tracable and nothing is hidden.
Our servers are located in Amsterdam the Netherlands, Paris France, Canada and Singapore, Directly connected to the US and the rest of Europe, Russia and Asia.

See our Getting Started For a step to step guide.

Password arguments

Supported password arguments are:
d= Static Difficulty
n= Set a worker name
See detailed description below

Static Difficulty

We recomend to only set static difficulty if the miner is not submitting any shares or when using proxied hashrate,
in any other scenarion the pool software retargets your diff periodically in a soft way which should always considered best practice.

You can set a static share difficulty for your miner by using the d= flag as your password, Example: "d=16382" will set a static share difficulty of: 16382. d= values LOWER then the default port difficulty will be assigned immediately after connecting, values higher then the port difficulty will be assigned after a few minutes of mining.
If no value is provided the pool will automatically manage your difficulty so that your miner will submit a share every 5 seconds.

Fixed or Random worker names

Worker names can be assigned in 2 ways
1.0 Prefered By adding the workername to your username seperated by a " . " (dot) example : --user username.superworker
2.0 By using password argument " n= " example --user username --pass "n=superworker"
2.1. Random workername can be assigned by using : --pass "n=r"
Be aware that you can only mine Multiport ( default settings ) with random names, because your workername will change on reconnecting, your coin sets will not stick with this method.

Select a currency to convert your coins automatically to the currency of your choice.
1. Unlock your wallets by pressing the unlock button below your wallet list
2. Follow the link in the email to unlock your wallets, Your wallets are now unlocked and ready to be edited
3. Convertion:

Option 1. Lazy mining

This option allow you to choose maximum 10 different coins to convert your coins to. Every coin that is available for convertion will be converted to these coins proportionally.

Option 2. Manual

Use the drop-down options per currency and set them to the currency you want to convert your coins to, Or use the set all option above your wallets.
You don't need to set any address or AP Limit for these, As these coins will not be payed to you, they will get converted instead.
Don't try to forge for example, a BTC address into a LTC wallet, it doesn't work.
4. To get any coin payed to your local wallet, set your private coin address behind the specific coin.
5. Set the AP Threshold amount (The minimum amount of coins we will send, balances lower then this amount will not be send).
To discover the minimum / maximum value, hold your mouse on the input field.

You might have noticed that the difficulty and nethashrate stated on the Pool-Overview do not match with the stats given on the pool itself,
As most multiport uses the difficulty given by the wallet / blockchain.
That is in fact a big disadvantage you make, when actualy mining the block.
As the difficulty given by the wallet, is in fact, the difficulty of the last block that has been mined.
If you're mining, you want to know the difficulty of the block you are mining a.t.m..
Well, The difficulty we provide on the pool, is! that! current difficulty, And with that difficulty, we calculate the amount of hashrate that should be on the network to provide that difficulty.
With our multiport working with these numbers, It will switch on or from a coin when the difficulty is actually high / low.
No more mining on what you think is a low difficulty block, But after lots of hard work, You find out you mined a much heavier block then the pool told you.
The Multiport checks all profitability every 20 seconds, and then switch to the most profitable coin immediately, It does not wait for a block to be found, It just goes for the profit immediately.
Actual profitability is being monitored daily, and low performing coins will be disabled from the multiport.

All pools can be mined with any of the below reward modes:
D-PPS - D-PPS explained
PROP - PROP explained
PPLNS - PPLNS explained
SOLO - SOLO explained
Payouts are usualy within 15 minutes after a transaction is confirmed.
In general all pools charge a 1.5% Fee, (Exceptions can be found in below table),
The amount of fee is also stated on the dashboard page of every pool.
There is no withdraw fee on outgoing transactions.
However, For Some currency's we have to charge network transaction cost on withdrawal:

Merged mining is being done simultaniously while mining a compatible coin automatically and by default
This can't be disabled and is also not nescescary, as it does not come at any cost for your miners.
Merged mining is always paid conform the finders mining mode.
blocks found by a SOLO miner are paid to the SOLO miner only!
blocks found by a PROP miner are paid to PROP miners PROPortional.!
PPS miners will only get paid PPS ( There is no additional reward for finding blocks )

A proportional pool means miners are simply paid out when a block is found. No blocks, no payout! With a Prop pool the risk is all on the miners if it takes longer than expected to find a block then the miners earn less. On the flip side, if the pool is lucky (they will all average out the same eventually) the miners get more. This is in complete contrast to the PPS pool where there is no "Variance" Using made up data for simplicity, here’s an example: *A block is found after 100000 shares *You submitted 1000 of those shares (you have 1% of the pools total hash power) *There’s 200FTC per block Quite simply you will get 1% of the block = 2FTC. Now if the pool has a bad round (a round is the time taken to find a block) and it takes 200000 shares to find a block (twice as long) and you have submitted 2000 shares (as you’ve been mining twice as long), you still only get 1% of the block = 2FTC. This can also work in the miners favor too as if it takes half the time (50000 shares) to find a block and you submitted only 500 - again - 2ftc. Basically with a Prop pool you always get you percentage of the block and you win/lose depending on the “Luck” of the pool.
Merged coins will also be paid PROP if a share is valid on one of the merged coins.

With SOLO mining all the risk but also all the luck is 100% for the miner.
When the miner finds a block, the whole reward will go to the miner.
However, if the miner does not find a block, the miner will not get paid at all.
Merged coins will also be paid SOLO if a share is valid on one of the merged coins.

A PPLNS pool is very much like a PROP pool, and it means miners are paid out when a block is found. No blocks, no payout! The difference with a PROP pool is that with PPLNS the pool does not pay for the shares submitted on the last block, but it will take the average amount of shares submitted over the last 10 blocks. This means that if the pool is lucky and finds a block fast, the pool will look for shares from previous blocks to fill up the total shares of the block to match the average.
However, when the pool is unlucky and takes for example 200% effort on a block ( Compared to the average ) , the pool will only pay around 50% of the last submitted shares ( to match the average of 100% ) All older shares are ignored and will not get paid in that round.
PPLNS encourages miners to keep mining and discourages miners to leave.
PPLNS is therefore not recommended to use in combination with profitSwitching ( multiport )
With a PPLNS pool the risk is all on the miners if it takes longer than expected to find a block then the miners earn less. On the flip side, if the pool is lucky (they will all average out the same eventually) the miners get more. This is in complete contrast to the PPS pool where there is no "Variance"
Merged coins will also be paid PPLNS if a share is valid on one of the merged coins.

Pay Per Share or commonly known as PPS is an approach which offers an instant flat payout for each share that is solved. Bringing this back to the lottery example, imagine that a miner submits 1 lottery share to the the pool operator. Even if the pool doesn’t win the lottery the miner will still get paid 10% of the block reward (if there are 10 total tickets). The miner gets paid on what is statistically probable rather than what actually occurs. Now imagine that the miner submits 1 ticket and it happens to be the winning ticket. The miner still only receives 10% of the block reward. What this system ultimately does is take out the “luck” and hence variance in a miners payout. Instead the pool operator absorbs all the risk of variance. In the long-run it should balance out to the statistical mean (obtain 10% of blocks) but in the short-run there can be a lot of variance. Logistically, the payout to the miner is offered immediately from the pool’s existing balance of the cryptocurrency. The possibility of cheating the miners by the pool operator and by timing attacks is completely eliminated. This payment structure is riskier for pool operators given the variance. Usually only large pools with a lot of reserves can afford to take on the variance risk. Other pools compensate for the higher risk taken by charging a higher fee.

Dynamic PPS Normal PPS determines the value of your share by the current difficulty when the payouts are created, Or using an average difficulty over that period. Our Dynamic-PPS system values each share on the difficulty and coinbase reward it was submitted on.
This way a miner will always mine based on 100% luck at all times. Making it possible to do realtime profit switching combined with PPS as well.
Merged coins will also be paid on a PPS base, whether a share is valid on one of the merged coins or not.

In your Wallets page you also have the options to convert your coins to another currency of your choice
- So how does this work?
At first, You mine your coins a usual, and you get your coins credited to your account as usual.
Only after your coins has reached confirmed status, the conversion kicks in.
We process all your confirmed credits and sell them directly at the exchange, the price we sold them on, is the price your coins will be worth in convertion.
Your transactions type "Credit" will be changed to type "Converted", And the value of these transactions combined will be Credited as one Converted Credit.
You can see all your transactions Here
An extra Fee of 1.5% is charged on Currency Convertion.

• Q: Will my coins I mined before enabling Currency Convertion, gets converted to?
 A:Yes, we convert all coins.

• Q: My coins are already confirmed, why are they not being converted?
 A: The pool will sell the coins first before it will convert any coin, Due to the minimum tx size of each exchange, we can only sell the coins once this limit has been reached.

• Q: What does the message: "Convertion disabled by pool" mean?
 A:Exchanges like to throw their wallets off-line or in maintenance while keeping the market open, If we can not deposit your coins, we can not sell them, if we can not sell them we can not convert them.
    As long as the exchange wallet is off-line or in maintenance your coins will not be converted, once it's opens, The convertion will Continue.
• Q: When do I get my Converted coins payed out?
 A:Same as any other coin, as soon as your balance exceeds your AP threshold set in your wallet.

: Currency Convertion is Available.

: Currency Convertion is Temporary disabled, no exchange is available.

Pool Speed : The total pool hashrate currently digging in the pool.

Calc. Netspeed : The amount of hashrate that is needed to find the blocks in time of the provided block spawning time, on the current difficulty.
         NOTE! This is not the actual network hashrate.! It's been calculated to show you how your changes are in actually finding the block

Difficulty : The current difficulty of the next block, This may be a different value then you will see on the pool dashboard page or on the block explorer,
         Wait until a block is found and you will see that it matches this number. We use this difficulty for our multiport and profitability calculations.

Btc / (Mhs Ghs or Ths) : Your expected profit calculated on the current difficulty, network-speed, block-reward and coin-price.

Progress : The amount of shares currently processed for this block, This value is calculated at the current difficulty, where 100% is the expected amount of shares needed to solve this block.

         - Online means the pool is active and mining is active.
         - Maintenance means the stratum pool is closed, but withdrawals might still be possible
         - Offline means the whole pool is closed and no mining nor withdrawals are possible at this moment,

Coin/Set : The configured coin / set for this worker on this algorithm.

Shares p/s. : The current share rate of your miner measured over a 12.5 minute period.

diff. : The average share difficulty of your miner measured over a 12.5 minute period,
         - INcreasing this value will DEcrease your shares per second
         - DEcreasing will INcrease your shares per second (Important ! a higher share rate does not result in better earnings!)

Shares p/s : The amount of shares (work) your miner is submitting to the pool every second (sharerate) Optimal value should be in between 0.08 - 0.30 S/s.

Mining : The coin and mode your worker is currently mining on.
