Ordered by current pool hashrate (public pool statistics). Together the pools report more hashrate than the network shows (105%). The shares therefore refer to the total of the recorded pools, not to the network hashrate. NiceHash is not a classic pool but a marketplace for computing power: you sell your hashrate there and are paid in Bitcoin. That is why the provider does not appear in this coin's pool distribution.

Payout models explained
| Model | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PPS | Fixed payment per submitted work - the pool bears the luck risk |
| PPS+ | PPS plus a proportional share of block transaction fees |
| FPPS | Like PPS+, with transaction fees fully included |
| PPLNS | Payout based on the last N shares - rewards continuous mining |
| SOLO | No pool splitting: full block reward, but only when you find a block yourself |
The fee applies per model - some pools offer several models in parallel (e.g. "PPS+ 4% · PPLNS 2%").
Network Data
Why a pool makes sense for Monero mining
A single CPU, GPU or specialised device holds only a tiny fraction of the entire Monero network hashrate. Without a pool, finding a block would be pure luck and could take weeks or months depending on your computing power. A mining pool bundles the computing power of many devices, finds blocks regularly as a result, and distributes the block reward proportionally to the hashrate contributed - predictable instead of random. In return, the pool charges a fee, usually in the low single-digit percentage range.
Payout models at a glance
How PPS, PPLNS and FPPS work in principle is explained in detail on the mining pools section page. The same logic applies to Monero pools: what matters is always the combination of fee and payout model, not a single figure alone.
CPU, GPU and ASIC in the same pool
Because RandomX was deliberately designed to be ASIC-resistant, ordinary CPUs and GPUs still mine in the same Monero pools alongside a few specialised devices such as the Antminer X9 series. A pool bundles every hashrate contributed regardless of the hardware behind it and distributes the reward proportionally - so it does not matter which type of device you mine with when choosing a pool.
Selection criteria for a Monero pool
Besides fee and payout model, other factors matter when choosing a pool: the proximity of the stratum server to your own location, the minimum payout, the transparency of the published statistics, and the reliability and track record of the operator. Switching pools is possible at any time and takes only a few minutes: simply change the stratum address in the miner dashboard. Anyone hosting specialised Monero devices with Cryptohall24 chooses the pool freely; our team is happy to help with setup on request.
