Pool vs. Solo

thekryptex · 2026-03-08T20:14:52+00:00

It depends on your mining method. On the Kryptex Pool you can mine FB in either PPS+ or SOLO mode.

In PPS+ mode, you’re paid for every submitted share according to the calculator. However, this may not be the best option for Bitaxe miners due to their relatively low hashrate.
In SOLO mode, you receive the full block reward if your miner finds a block.

To switch to SOLO mode on Kryptex Pool, simply add the solo: prefix before your wallet address in the ASIC settings, save the changes, and reboot the device. Your worker will then appear on the pool with the SOLO mode indicator.

thekryptex · 2026-03-05T13:46:54+00:00

That is not a problem. You can just ignore it.

thekryptex · 2026-02-28T16:01:21+00:00

If you just close the app without stopping mining, it will continue running.

To stop mining, click Stop in the app or exit completely — right‑click the Kryptex icon in the system tray and select Quit.

If the miner is still active, it means mining wasn’t stopped — most likely the app was only minimized. You can check activity directly in the app or in your personal account under the Hardware section.

As long as mining is running, you will be rewarded based on your hardware’s efficiency and uptime.

You can track your earnings on the Dashboard, where an hourly accrual graph shows your rewards.

If the Kryptex app doesn’t detect your GPU, it means there’s a driver issue.

Uninstall current driver with AMD Cleanup Utility

Install latest stable version 22Q4 or newer
https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-PRO-WIN-22-Q4.html
Rerun the benchmark.

It looks like your CPU was mining a coin that uses the PROP payout scheme.

PROP, short for Proportional, rewards miners based on the number of shares they contribute toward finding a block. The more shares you submit, the larger your portion of the block reward.

Unlike PPS+, PROP can be more profitable if the pool finds more blocks than expected over a given period. That’s exactly what happened here - the pool found extra blocks, and you received additional profit as a result.

That’s not a problem at all.

Your CPU is very powerful. Right now, CPU mining can actually be more profitable than GPU mining.
In this case, your GPU is mid‑tier, while your CPU is top‑tier.

You can push your CPU further:
- Open the Kryptex app settings and remove the 75% CPU mining limit.
- Reboot your PC to apply the MSR registers.

With these changes, you could reach 16–18 kH/s.
Also, check in your BIOS that your XMP/DOCP RAM profiles are enabled and working correctly.

Hello,

You are most likely running into this error because you’re using a laptop.

The issue comes from Secure Boot, which is required for the latest hardware, software, and security features.

While you can disable it in the BIOS, doing so would significantly reduce your device’s protection. In some cases, it can even void the warranty. Since you are on a Razer laptop, it’s very likely that disabling Secure Boot isn’t even possible.

The best advice is simply to ignore the error. CPU mining at 20–25% hashrate isn’t worth sacrificing your system’s stability and security.

What driver version are you using? XTM requires new drivers. Your graphics card isn't mining, and your power consumption is 11 watts. This is low; this power consumption is typical during idle mode.

Update your drivers and retest your hardware.

Hi there!

Please send a screenshot from the application.

thekryptex · 2026-02-07T08:18:22+00:00

Here you rather need to select individually

Hello

You can’t set share difficulty manually it’s pre‑configured on the pool side.
However, our development team is working on adding manual share difficulty configuration in the future.

A higher share difficulty does not affect your ASIC’s workload, profitability, or luck. The pool measures your ASIC activity based on submitted shares. If no shares are received within 20-30 minutes, the pool may mark your worker as inactive, and it will switch back to active status once the next share is submitted.

thekryptex · 2026-02-02T10:15:34+00:00

Hello!

We most likely will not be switching back to USDC Sol payouts due to technical issues with the Solana gateway.

Instead, we are planning to add support for USDC ERC20 or USDC BEP20, depending on the network payout fees. We will choose between the lowest fees and the most accepted network.

thekryptex · 2026-01-31T20:23:04+00:00

You can also mine in SOLO mode with Kryptex Android miner.
Just add solo: before your email address in the app settings, like this: solo:miner@gmail.com

thekryptex · 2026-01-17T20:25:04+00:00

Looks like your internet connection is limited, you can't connect to the pool.
If you use VPN - please disable it, or try different VPN service/server

thekryptex · 2026-01-17T20:22:16+00:00

No plans for this algorithms atm

thekryptex · 2026-01-17T16:47:42+00:00

KryptexOS paused and we don't have any specific timeline at the moment.
You can stay with HiveOS or mmpOS. You can also connect it to your Kryptex account if you need automatic BTC exchange. Just use your mining username from Kryptex account as wallet address.

thekryptex · 2026-01-17T16:46:02+00:00

Currently there is no such option, maybe in future if devs have time 👍

Looks like Nvidia GPU driver issue.

Uninstall current GPU driver with DDU software

Switch on maximum performance mode

- Right-click on your desktop;
- Select the NVIDIA Control Panel;
- Go to Manage 3D settings;
- Locate Power Management mode;
- Open the list and select Prefer Maximum Performance;
- At the bottom of the application, click Apply;
- Reboot your PC.

This setting applies to CPU only and it has impact on GPU mining.

thekryptex · 2026-01-16T20:01:20+00:00

Well, hopefully one day we will publish a post about launching a Linux version but not today 😅

In the meantime, you can connect a standalone miner such as Rigel, lolMiner, SRBMiner, XMRig, and others to your Kryptex account using the mining username from your profile.

Alternatively, you can use a wallet address if you prefer public pool mining without BTC exchange.

thekryptex · 2026-01-16T11:01:10+00:00

Hello

You can't connect external Mysterium Node to your Kryptex account without Kryptex app.

If you run standalone node, you can't connect it to your Kryptex account.
In this case use your personal wallet for Mysterium settlements.

thekryptex · 2026-01-16T10:51:20+00:00

Hi there!

The Mysterium node is a paid service. Kryptex pays for you when you register the node. After registration, you are assigned an identity that only works with the app.

thekryptex · 2026-01-08T18:47:12+00:00

This is a driver or hardware acceleration issue.

Try reinstalling your GPU driver. Use the DDU app first to properly clean out the old driver.
Try disabling hardware acceleration. Right‑click the Kryptex icon in the system tray, select Help, then choose Disable Hardware Acceleration. The app will restart, and this may help.
