FAQ

Why Super Axe Pool?
Super Axe Pool mines straight to your wallet - you don't need to wait for payment or trust that Super Axe Pool will pay you out when you reach a threshold. Your address mines the coins. Super Axe Pool is made with BitAxe miners in mind, every coin supported by Super Axe Pool has had a block mined with a BitAxe on this software.
What is WAVES?
WAVES (Window-Adjusted Verified Earnings System) is our provably fair payout system. It calculates your exact proportional share of block rewards across a rolling window of 8× the network difficulty. Every share you submit is indexed and counted exactly once, and your payout is mathematically determined by the simple formula: Your Shares ÷ Total Shares × Block Reward. No approximations, no hidden algorithms - just pure math you can verify yourself.
How do coinbase payouts work?
When our pool finds a block, your reward is embedded directly into the coinbase transaction - the very first transaction in the block that creates new coins. This means:
  • Non-custodial: We never hold your coins
  • Instant: You're paid the moment the block is found
  • Trustless: Verify your payout on any block explorer
  • Censorship-resistant: No withdrawal buttons to disable
What is the 8× difficulty window?
The "window" is how many shares are counted when calculating payouts. We use a window equal to 8× the current network difficulty. This means your shares are typically paid out across approximately 8 blocks on average, reducing variance while keeping the system transparent and auditable. As new shares come in, the oldest shares gradually roll out of the window.
How is WAVES different from other payout systems?
  • vs. PPLNS: WAVES is similar in concept but uses a difficulty-based window rather than a share count, making it scale properly with network difficulty changes.
  • vs. FPPS/PPS: Those systems require the pool to hold funds and take on variance risk. WAVES pays directly from block rewards with zero custody.
  • vs. Traditional Prop: Traditional proportional systems often have opaque accounting. WAVES is fully auditable - you can calculate your expected payout independently.
What's BitAxe?
BitAxe is an open source ASIC miner https://bitaxe.org/#whatisbitaxe. Super Axe Pool auto-detects BitAxe miners and sets an appropriate starting difficulty so you get shares immediately.
Is there a fee?
Yes. Super Axe Pool charges 1% of block rewards for developing and operating the pool. This fee is transparently deducted before the proportional calculation.
Can I set my own starting difficulty?
Yes! Use the password field in your miner configuration:
  • d=5000 - Sets starting difficulty to 5000
  • diff=5000 - Same as above
  • 5000 - Just the number works too
The pool also honors mining.suggest_difficulty for NiceHash and other services that use it.
Can I change my payout currency?
No. Super Axe Pool does not collect your coins and cannot exchange them for you. Use Super Axe Pool to mine blocks directly.
How can I create an address for this coin?
Each pool page has a built-in wallet generator - visit the pool page for your coin and use the "Generate Wallet" feature. Your private key is generated locally in your browser and never sent to our servers.
Why should I trust Super Axe Pool?
You don't have to! That's the point of WAVES and coinbase payouts. Every payout is verifiable on-chain. Every share is indexed. The math is public. You can calculate your expected reward and verify it against what you received. This is trustless mining - verify, don't trust.
