Pool-Pay.Com positions itself as a “mining pool hub altcoins” platform — in other words, a multi-altcoin mining pool hub. The site shows support for registration/login, Miners Pack, Getting Started, How it works, FAQ, and API, and it continues to add new coins such as Zephyr, OpticalBTC, Satoxcoin, and Salvium. It is not an exchange, wallet, or DeFi product; rather, it provides miners with multi-coin pool access, hashrate statistics, and transfer/payment services.
The platform lists around 88 mineable coins, including XMR, WOW, DERO, QRL, ZEPH, SATOX, SAL, and many other niche coins. Most coins use xmrig, while some use xlarig, sbr, or wildrig, with support for CPU, GPU, or both. Its core feature is Autoswitch: users can automatically switch to the “most profitable” coin, or disable autoswitching and mine a specified coin instead. According to the FAQ, switching to a new coin takes about 5 seconds, statistics are updated roughly once per minute, and auto-tuning takes less than 1 minute.
The captured page content does not disclose pool fees, minimum payout amounts, withdrawal fees, or the reward distribution model, so cost transparency is limited. For payments, the FAQ says transfers are made via a “transfer coins” button; the API examples include BTC records under payments, and the page also mentions “Receive in BTC?”. However, whether BTC settlement is reliably supported and under what rules is not explained. On the API side, public endpoints can query the pool list and status, while private endpoints can use login, port, and secretcode to retrieve worker, balance, hashrate, and payment information.
Security information is limited. The FAQ says the wallet inside an account is the user’s personal wallet and cannot be accessed by other users. The private API uses a secretcode, which can be reset by contacting technical support. However, the site does not disclose details about cold wallets, insurance, multisig, audits, the operating entity, jurisdiction, licenses, or KYC requirements. For a mining service involving earnings and custodial wallets, the lack of this information increases the trust burden.
Its strengths are very broad coin coverage, CPU/GPU support, multi-coin autoswitching, and API access. It is best suited to miners who are familiar with XMRig and the risks of small-cap coins, and who want to automate mining and monitoring. The downsides are that fees, payout thresholds, compliance status, and security safeguards are unclear. The FAQ also explicitly warns that some coins may not be listed on exchanges for liquidation, and that large amounts of hashrate entering small coins can quickly raise difficulty and reduce returns.
The page does not provide information on access from mainland China, network connectivity, or payment availability, so this remains unknown. Chinese users who want to try it should first test domain connectivity, mining pool port reachability, and wallet/exchange withdrawal routes. Alternatives include official pools for each coin, community pools, or more mature hashrate marketplaces such as NiceHash.
