Many new users do not know how to use AntPool. However, this document shows new users can follow the tutorial to register an account, connect to the mining pool, and then learn to use several common pages. Most of the questions will be solved.
1. Homepage - mining service address
After logging in to the AntPool account, the user can switch the currency through the upper left corner of the page. Three mining service addresses can be viewed on the mining pool-home page. Please use the mining pool address of the actual mining currency; otherwise, normal mining will not be possible.
2. Homepage - large hash rate users apply for VIP
Applying for VIP is free. In addition, VIP users can enjoy independent lines (nodes), which are stable and concealed, and can be protected from attacks and increase revenue. The process for users to apply for VIP is as follows:
1) You can apply if the hash rate of Bitcoin reaches 100T, and you can apply if the hash rate of Litecoin reaches 5G;
2) Application URL: https://www.antpool.com/user/vipRequest.htm
3) After the audit, the user's Anpool account mailbox will receive three addresses, and the three mining pool addresses can be replaced.
3. User panel - payment record
The mining income will be paid once a day. If the payment is completed before 15:00 every day, it is normal for the user to receive it before 15:00. Please wait patiently. The minimum payment amount for Bitcoin, Litecoin, and ZEC is 0.001 coins, and the minimum payment amount for Ethereum is 0.1 ETH. The income less than this amount will not be paid.
4. User Panel - Merged Mining
Ant mining pool mining is to send coins, mining bitcoin to send domain name coins, mining Litecoin to send Dogecoin; the gift does not occupy the user's hash rate;
The gift ratio is: Bitcoin: Namecoin = 1:10, Litecoin: Dogecoin = 1:1000
The setting method is as follows:
5. Log in to the mining pool account - settings
You can add or delete sub-accounts, change the settlement method, and edit the wallet payment address through Settings-Sub-account settings. Please use the wallet address of the corresponding currency; for the security of the user's account, unlocking the payment address and recovering the wrongly deleted sub-account need to provide identifying information that can only be processed.

7. Mining pool payment method
Payment Method | BTC | LTC | ETH | Zcash |
PPLNS | After the mining pool has mined a new block, obtained 3 blocks, and confirmed them, the block income of 12.5 BTC would be distributed according to the proportion of the workload submitted in the past 2.5 difficulty cycles to the total workload. | After the mining pool has mined a new block, obtained 3 blocks, and confirmed them, the block income of 25 LTC would be distributed according to the proportion of the workload submitted in the past 2.5 difficulty cycles to the total workload. | After the mining pool has mined a new block, obtained 3 blocks, and confirmed them, the block income of 5 ETH would be distributed according to the proportion of the workload submitted in the past 2.5 difficulty cycles to the total workload. | After the mining pool has dug a new block, obtained 3 blocks, and confirmed it, the block revenue will be distributed according to the proportion of the workload submitted in the past 2.5 difficulty cycles to the total workload. |
PPS | Profit = 12.5 BTC * workload / current network difficulty | Profit = 25 LTC * workload / current network difficulty | Profit = 5 ETH * workload / current network difficulty | Profit = block profit * workload / current network difficulty |
