Terms of Service

By accessing or using HashedMax Unity Pool ("the Pool", "we", "us", "our"), including connecting mining hardware to our stratum servers, accessing our website, or using our API, you ("User", "Miner", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

If you do not agree to these terms, you must immediately discontinue use of all Pool services.

HashedMax Unity Pool operates as a non-custodial mining pool. We temporarily hold mining proceeds solely for operational distribution purposes and do not provide wallet, custody, or financial services.

All balances are paid out according to the thresholds defined in Section 4 below. We are operational infrastructure, not a custodian of funds. Users retain full ownership of their mining rewards at all times.

We cannot economically process transactions below Bitcoin Cash network fee minimums. By using this service, you acknowledge and accept the payout thresholds and timing outlined in these terms.

Pool Fee: 2% of all block rewards and transaction fees

This fee covers operational costs including server infrastructure, bandwidth, development, and support. The fee is deducted from block rewards before distribution to miners.

Network Transaction Fees: Bitcoin Cash network transaction fees for payouts are paid by the Pool. However, we reserve the right to adjust payout thresholds if network fee conditions make smaller payouts economically unfeasible.

Payout Thresholds

Minimum Threshold: Payouts are automatically processed when your confirmed balance reaches 0.00010000 BCH (the pool minimum).

Optional custom threshold: If available on the dashboard, you may set a higher payout threshold. Thresholds cannot be set below the pool minimum.

Force Payout (Inactive Balances)

If your balance is above the network's dust limit (approximately 0.00000546 BCH) and you have not submitted eligible mining activity for 90 days, we may process a payout even if you have not reached the minimum threshold. This helps prevent small inactive balances from remaining stranded indefinitely.

Payout Processing

Payouts are processed in batches typically within 24-48 hours of reaching a threshold. Payouts require a minimum of 100 block confirmations on mined blocks before distribution.

All payouts are sent to the Bitcoin Cash address you used to connect to the pool. It is your responsibility to ensure you control this address and can receive payments. We cannot recover funds sent to incorrect or inaccessible addresses.

HMP FairShare (Hybrid Payouts): HashedMax Unity Pool uses a hybrid system built on PPLNS plus additional reward components.

Base PPLNS: The main share pool is distributed proportionally based on the valid shares you contributed in the last 7 days.

Finder bonus: The miner who finds the block earns an extra finder bonus (in addition to their normal proportional share).

Small miner + loyalty bonuses: Portions of each block reward are reserved for small-miner and loyalty distributions when eligible miners exist. If there are no eligible miners for a bonus bucket, that portion rolls back into the main share pool.

Block-time eligibility: To receive payout and bonus credit for a found block, a miner must have submitted a valid share within the last 15 minutes before that block was processed.

Loyalty continuity window: Loyalty continuity is preserved for short downtime but resets after an inactivity gap greater than 24 hours. Levels and historical active days remain cumulative.

Your share of each block reward is proportional to your contribution during the relevant share window. Shares submitted outside this window do not count toward that specific block's reward distribution.

You agree to use the Pool only for legitimate Bitcoin Cash mining purposes. The following activities are strictly prohibited:

• Submitting invalid shares or attempting to manipulate share difficulty
• Denial-of-service attacks or attempts to disrupt Pool operations
• Unauthorized access to Pool systems, databases, or other users' accounts
• Using the Pool to mine cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin Cash
• Circumventing geographic restrictions or sanctions compliance measures
• Providing false information or impersonating another person or entity
• Any activity that violates applicable laws or regulations

Violation of these terms may result in immediate termination of service, forfeiture of pending balances, and potential legal action.

We strive to provide reliable, uninterrupted service, but we do not guarantee 100% uptime. The Pool may be temporarily unavailable due to:

• Scheduled maintenance
• Emergency repairs or security updates
• Network issues beyond our control
• Force majeure events

We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of planned downtime in advance, but are not obligated to do so.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

HashedMax Unity Pool, its operators, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

• Lost profits or mining revenue due to service interruptions
• Loss of data or corrupted statistics
• Hardware damage or increased electricity costs
• Errors in reward calculations or payout processing
• Unauthorized access to your account or mining address
• Changes in Bitcoin Cash network difficulty or block rewards
• Fluctuations in Bitcoin Cash market value

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from use of the Pool shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to the Pool in the 90 days preceding the claim.

USE OF THIS SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. The Pool is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

We collect minimal data necessary for Pool operations, including:

• Bitcoin Cash addresses used for mining and payouts
• IP addresses for connection management and security
• Mining statistics (hashrate, shares, worker names)
• Device information (user agent strings from mining software)

We do not collect personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for service operation. See our Privacy Policy for details.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties except as required by law or to comply with sanctions regulations.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page.

Continued use of the Pool after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. Material changes (such as fee adjustments or payout threshold changes) will be announced via the Pool website and/or contact methods if available.

It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Pool at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to:

• Violation of these Terms of Service
• Suspicious or fraudulent activity
• Connection from a sanctioned jurisdiction
• Excessive resource consumption or abuse

Upon termination, any pending balance meeting the pool's minimum payout threshold will be paid out to your registered address within 30 days, subject to our ability to process the transaction.

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these terms or use of the Pool shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except where prohibited by law.

You waive any right to participate in class action lawsuits or class-wide arbitration.
