Fees, Ports and How Nanopool Pays
Nanopool charges 1% and pays on PPLNS. The window differs by coin: two hours on Monero, six hours on Ravencoin. Payouts run several times a day once your balance clears the limit you set, and the pool confirms balances after about twenty minutes.
Fees and payout limits
The 1% pool fee is the headline number, but two others decide when you actually see coins.
- Monero: default payout limit 1 XMR, adjustable between 0.11 and 10 XMR. Payout commission up to 0.0001 XMR.
- Ravencoin: default limit 100 RVN, adjustable between 50 and 50,000 RVN. Payout commission 0.0005 RVN.
Lower the limit if you mine on one machine — the default assumes more hashrate than a single rig usually delivers.
Stratum servers and ports
Seven regions: two in Europe, US East, US West, Asia, Japan and Australia. Hosts follow one pattern — xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org, rvn-eu1.nanopool.org and so on.
- Monero: stratum port 10300, SSL port 10343.
- Ravencoin: stratum port 10400, SSL port 10443.
Nanopool recommends the SSL port over plain stratum. Use it — the cost is nothing and it keeps your worker traffic off the open wire.
What to Know Before You Start
Hardware you need
Monero on Nanopool runs on processors: a 64-bit CPU and at least 8 GB of RAM, because RandomX needs the memory. Ravencoin runs on KawPow and needs a graphics card with 3 GB or more. Share difficulty is fixed — 480,000 on Monero, 20 on Ravencoin — so small miners are not rebalanced mid-session.
The rule most reviews skip
Nanopool deletes accounts after six months of inactivity, and the remaining balance of a deleted account goes to the pool as a donation. If you stop mining with a balance below your payout limit, that balance is on a clock. Withdraw before you shut a rig down for the season.
Who Nanopool suits
It fits miners who want a fixed 1% with no tier system, a payout limit they can push down to a workable figure, and a server close to them. It fits less well if you want the lowest possible fee — zero-fee and 0.5% pools exist — or if you need payout schemes other than PPLNS.
FAQ
1% on both Monero and Ravencoin, with no tiers or volume discounts. Payout commission is separate: up to 0.0001 XMR or 0.0005 RVN per transaction.
0.11 XMR for Monero and 50 RVN for Ravencoin. Defaults are higher — 1 XMR and 100 RVN — so lower them in your account settings if you mine on one machine.
Several times a day, whenever your balance passes the limit you set. Balances confirm after roughly twenty minutes.
PPLNS, with a two-hour window on Monero and six hours on Ravencoin. A longer window smooths your earnings but penalises hopping between pools.
RandomX is built for processors and a CPU is more efficient at it than a graphics card. Point the GPU at Ravencoin instead.
