How to change payout threshold in 2Miners? (Pool Settings)

Accessing Pool Settings in 2Miners

1. Log into your 2Miners account using the wallet address associated with your mining rig.

2. Navigate to the dashboard where active miners and statistics are displayed.

3. Click on the gear icon labeled “Pool Settings” located near the top-right corner of the dashboard interface.

4. The settings page loads automatically, revealing configurable parameters including payout threshold, notification preferences, and worker naming conventions.

5. Ensure you are viewing the correct coin tab if mining multiple cryptocurrencies—each coin maintains its own independent payout configuration.

Understanding Payout Threshold Mechanics

1. The payout threshold determines the minimum balance required before an automatic withdrawal is triggered to your wallet.

2. Default values vary per coin: Ethereum (ETH) defaults to 0.01 ETH, while Ravencoin (RVN) defaults to 10 RVN.

3. Thresholds are enforced strictly at the pool level—no partial payouts occur even if the balance exceeds the threshold temporarily due to fluctuating exchange rates or block rewards.

4. Lower thresholds increase transaction frequency and may incur higher cumulative network fees depending on blockchain congestion.

5. Higher thresholds reduce payout frequency but require longer waiting periods between transfers, especially during low-hashrate phases or difficulty spikes.

Modifying the Threshold Value

1. Locate the input field labeled “Payout Threshold” under the “Withdrawal Settings” section.

2. Enter a new numeric value matching the unit standard for the selected coin—for example, 0.05 for ETH or 50 for RVN.

3. Input validation occurs instantly; invalid entries like negative numbers or non-numeric characters trigger an inline error message.

4. Click the “Save Changes” button positioned below the form—no confirmation modal appears, but a green success banner confirms persistence.

5. Changes apply immediately to future balances; previously accumulated amounts remain subject to the prior threshold until reset manually or paid out.

Verification and Behavior After Adjustment

1. Return to the main dashboard and observe the “Next Payout” indicator—it updates dynamically to reflect the newly configured threshold.

2. Check recent payout history to confirm whether the latest transaction adhered to the old or new rule—only subsequent balances follow the revised setting.

3. Monitor worker statistics over the next 2–3 hours to verify no unintended side effects such as duplicate submissions or rejected shares post-change.

4. If using API integrations or third-party monitoring tools, revalidate endpoint responses to ensure compatibility with updated threshold logic.

5. Note that manual payouts initiated via the “Withdraw Now” button bypass threshold rules entirely and execute regardless of current balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I set different payout thresholds for individual workers?No. 2Miners applies the payout threshold globally per wallet address—not per worker or rig.

Q: Does changing the threshold affect pending unpaid balances?No. Existing unpaid balances retain eligibility under the threshold active when those shares were confirmed.

Q: Is there a maximum allowed threshold value?Yes. The upper limit is enforced server-side and varies by coin—typically capped at 10× the default value to prevent accidental misconfiguration.

Q: Why does my “Next Payout” value not update immediately after saving?This may occur if cached frontend data hasn’t refreshed. Force reload the page or clear browser storage to synchronize with live backend state.
