Are payout thresholds determined by the pool or the wallet? Tried using #braiins pool but couldn’t add my miner and after a bit more research, I decided on F2Pool, their website is straightforward and their mobile app is I’m to date, the only two requirements I need, hehe.
The only problem I am now facing is a minimum #btc payout threshold of 0.005,which seems kind of nuts. #asknostr
It's based on the pool. Any pools that payout via on-chain will have a payout threshold, because they want to minimize the amount of on-chain fees they have to pay.
The way to avoid these thresholds is to 1. have enough hashrate that you will meet or exceed the threshold more often, or 2. select a pool that will do payouts via Lightning, so you can receive payouts daily, even if they are very small amounts.
Two pools that will do payouts via Lightning are Braiins and OCEAN. Brains is, by far, easier to set up. However, they use FPPS, which means you will be paid less overall over time. OCEAN is much more difficult to set up, and requires the ability to receive via BOLT-12, and you may not agree with their stance on spam. However, you CAN choose to use a mining template that doesn't filter spam at all, if that is your conviction.
Right on, thank you for the info.
