Why does OXC have a 1% fee when other coins don't?

New chains need a funded wallet to cover the first on-chain payout transaction fees. We take 1% only until that buffer exists, then return the section to 0% — the fee state is visible on the pool card.

Can I mine OXC with the same hardware as Aureus?

Yes — both are SHA-256d. Point the same miner at the OXC ports and change the wallet address in the username. Switching coins is exactly that: new port + new address.

TL;DR — Point your SHA-256d miner at stratum+tcp://oxc.minecraftpool.com:7802 and use your OXC wallet address as the username. Pool fee 1% until the payout buffer is funded, minimum payout 40 OXC, SOLO scheme — the whole block reward goes to whoever finds the block.

Connect your miner, use your wallet address as the username, and you're mining. On this pool there is no registration, no account and no email — the wallet address is the account.

Stratum ports

URL	For hardware
`stratum+tcp://oxc.minecraftpool.com:7802`	small ASICs, varDiff (Bitaxe-class)
`stratum+tcp://oxc.minecraftpool.com:7803`	mid-range 10–100 TH/s
`stratum+tcp://oxc.minecraftpool.com:7804`	large farms >100 TH/s

The first port uses variable difficulty tuned for small devices (Bitaxe-class home ASICs, ~1 TH/s): difficulty starts low and retargets every 30 seconds. The other ports are for mid-range (10–100 TH/s) and large (>100 TH/s) machines and run at fixed difficulty — small miners there just waste work.

About OrdexCoin (OXC)

OrdexCoin is a 2025-generation SHA-256d chain with an active development team and a growing miner base. We added it on September 12, 2026. Until the pool's payout wallet accumulates a buffer for the first transactions, the section carries a 1% fee — it switches back to 0% automatically once the buffer exists (we run the same policy on BitcoinValue and Bitcoin Purity).

Pool parameters

Pool fee: 1% until the payout buffer is funded
Minimum payout: 40 OXC
Algorithm: SHA-256d
Payout scheme: SOLO — the full block reward goes to the miner who found the block
Block explorer: https://explorer.ordexcoin.org/ (or the project's official explorer)
Wallet: OrdexCoin Core from the Ordexcoin-Core GitHub releases

Practical notes

OXC's network is small, so solo odds are decent for every class of hardware. One operational note specific to this chain: the OrdexCoin node requires the correct daemon build (releases from the Ordexcoin-Core repository — other builds refuse to sync headers), which is the kind of detail a pool handles for you so miners don't have to.
