ArkPoolEligible hourly payoutsYour Ark wallet
Two separate flows: mining traffic through Tor; eligible payouts to your Ark address. No wallet seed is shared with the pool.
A SIMPLE IDEA
Hashpower in.
Ark sats out.
ArkPool buys verified Bitcoin hashpower at a rate agreed with each invited miner. You don’t need to find a block yourself to earn a share-based reward.
- 01 / CONNECT
A private path in.
Your miner connects to a gateway on your home network. The gateway carries mining traffic over Tor.
- 02 / CONTRIBUTE
Work that counts.
Eligible shares are verified before they earn credit. A miner’s accepted counter alone is not proof of a reward.
- 03 / RECEIVE
Small, regular payouts.
Eligible whole-sat balances settle on UTC-hour boundaries. Fractions carry forward until at least one sat is payable.
FOR BITAXE & SHA-256 MINERS
Your address.
Your starting point.
No website account or email signup. During the alpha, the operator must first admit your compatible mainnet Ark address.
Stock Bitaxe firmware needs a separate Tor gateway. The website is not a mining server—do not use arkpool.org as your Stratum host.

PRIVACY, WITH CLEAR BOUNDARIES
Less to share.
More to keep yours.
No wallet seeds, public miner directory, advertising scripts, or analytics on this site. Only aggregate measurements leave the private service.
Mining connects over Tor. This website uses public HTTPS and Cloudflare, which can see visitors’ network metadata. Tor does not make the service trustless: the operator still verifies work and sends payouts.
Frontend code is being prepared for a separate open-source release. Backend code, infrastructure, and operational configuration remain private.
GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you hash.
Can I join right now?
This is an invite-only mainnet alpha. Automatic public onboarding is not ready. An Ark address must be admitted before its work can earn credit; connecting alone is not enrollment.
Will I get paid every hour?
Hourly is the settlement cadence, not a guarantee. You need at least one eligible whole sat. Fractions carry forward. Maintenance, compatibility checks, and safety limits can delay payment.
How are rewards calculated?
Verified work earns credit according to the terms that applied to it. Shares can represent different amounts of work, so there is no universal “one sat per share” promise. Alpha rates are shared privately with invited miners, not published on this site.
What are the current alpha limits?
The minimum payout is 1 sat, with a 50-sat per-miner hourly limit and a 250-sat cumulative unattended pool exposure limit. Safety pauses require operator review. These are testing limits, not a promise of earnings or uninterrupted service.
Is this solo mining or a guaranteed return?
Neither. This is a hashpower purchasing service, not a promise of solo block rewards, profit, or fixed daily earnings. Mining has operating costs.
Do I need a Lightning address?
Miners in this alpha receive Ark payouts to an operator-approved mainnet Ark address. Do not enter a Lightning address or an on-chain Bitcoin address as your payout username.
Are public stats a proof of reserves?
No. These are operator-reported aggregate observations, including confirmed payout totals. They do not reveal treasury balances, independently prove solvency, or establish profitability.
