Why is PLM the pool's busiest section?

Palladium combines a small-enough network for solo luck with a real community and liquidity, so both home ASICs and mid-size farms mine it. Its section carries the largest share of pool hashrate.

Can I mine PLM with a scrypt miner?

No — PLM is SHA-256d (its own chain). Scrypt hardware like Antminer L7 works on our Lambda (LMC) section instead.

Palladium (PLM): connecting to the busiest section on the pool

MineCraft Pool · 2024-04-23

TL;DR — Point your sha256d (PLM chain) miner at stratum+tcp://plm.minecraftpool.com:7787 and use your PLM wallet address as the username. Pool fee 0%, minimum payout 10 PLM, 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://plm.minecraftpool.com:7787`	small ASICs, varDiff (Bitaxe-class)
`stratum+tcp://plm.minecraftpool.com:7788`	mid-range and large farms

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 Palladium (PLM)

Palladium is an independent SHA-256d chain with its own client lineage and one of the most active miner communities among small coins. Our PLM section opened in April 2024 and grew into the pool's highest-hashrate coin, regularly finding multiple blocks a day.

Practical notes

PLM's network hashrate is the largest on this pool, so solo blocks are less frequent than on MAZA but the coin's liquidity and community are stronger. The 10 PLM minimum payout is deliberately low — active miners see frequent payments. If your rig shows a high share of duplicates, drop us a line in Telegram; varDiff tuning is per-port and adjustable.
