Important Mining Disclaimers
- Reorg risk: while difficulty re-equilibrates after the fork, blocks arrive fast and erratically and reorgs are more likely than on Bitcoin. Do not treat freshly mined rewards as final.
- Coinbase maturity: block rewards are spendable after 100 confirmations (standard Bitcoin coinbase maturity).
- Replay protection: coinbase outputs are new post-fork coins and cannot be replayed. Later spends are eCash-only too; setting
nLockTime = 499999999costs nothing. See the replay protection guide. - Difficulty will reset to 1 at the fork block (consensus rule in the eCash code), then retarget normally every 2,016 blocks. The low-difficulty window is when small miners matter most.
- Pool fee: our pool (
pool.ecashfarm.com, ports 3334 & 3335) charges a 3% fee on block rewards. The remaining 97% is paid directly to your mining address via the coinbase (solo mode — no pooled balance, no withdrawals). - No financial advice: mining calculations are estimates only and do not guarantee actual returns. ECX has no guaranteed market value. Consult a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
