The basic concept separates the proof-of-work performed by hardware from the asset selected for payout. That distinction explains why a user may receive an asset that is not directly mined by the computer.
Compatible software connects to a documented endpoint, receives jobs, performs calculations, and submits results. Accepted submissions contribute to accounting.
Practical note: Local speed is only one signal; accepted work and stable uptime also matter.
A service may track contributed work, apply its published rules and fees, and account for a selected payout asset using conversion mechanisms.
Practical note: Rates and results can vary with network conditions and markets.
The user supplies a public receiving address and selects a supported network. A payout may require a threshold and processing time.
Practical note: Always confirm network compatibility and any memo or tag requirement before relying on an address.
Not necessarily. The performed algorithm and selected payout asset can be different.
It is a valid result acknowledged by the connected mining service.
Difficulty, hardware performance, uptime, exchange rates, fees, and asset prices can change.
