Fees before connection.
The proposed launch fee is 0.5%. The operator’s plan allows a later move to 1% once established. The actual fee, payout rules and any changes will need to be clearly published—not hidden behind a connection string.
Independent pool / CPU-mining focusA new ridge
A new ridge
for your
hashrate.
A public, operator-run mining pool in planning. Wownero first—with Monero and Zephyr as expansion candidates when the infrastructure and hashrate are ready.
The website is live. The mining pool is not.
No active Stratum endpoints or miner deposits are being requested.

01 / Coin lineupStart focused.
Start focused.
Expand with real hashrate.
Wownero is the intended first launch coin. Monero and Zephyr remain candidates for later expansion, subject to software support, infrastructure and miner demand.
Planned first launch / Not active
Wownero / WOW
The first-coin plan prioritizes Wownero rather than spreading a small new pool across multiple networks. Coin and pool-software compatibility must be validated before accepting miners.

No pool address, port, payout method or threshold is final until the corresponding service is configured and tested.
02 / Operating principlesNo invented numbers.
No invented numbers.
No shortcuts to trust.
Shares. Blocks. Payouts.
A pool launch depends on a synced daemon, accepted-share tests, accounting checks and validated payouts. A polished homepage is not evidence that those services are running.
A website is not a pool server.
This is an informational site. The planned mining backend will run on dedicated VPS infrastructure, separate from this website. No cloud-mining contracts, hashrate rentals or guaranteed returns are offered.
03 / Launch statusWebsite online.
Website online.
Pool still in planning.
The next milestones are infrastructure approval, coin-daemon synchronization, pool configuration and end-to-end validation. Connection instructions will be published only when the actual service is ready.
Do not point miners at guessed addresses or ports. HashRidge is not currently accepting mining connections or requesting deposits.

04 / Before you mineClear answers.
Clear answers.
Before connection.
No balances, wallets or miner settings need to be entered on this website.
Can I connect a miner right now?
No. The pool has not launched, and there are no published Stratum endpoints. This website describes the project and its launch plan only.
Is the 0.5% fee already active?
No. It is the proposed launch fee. Final fee and payout terms will be published when the pool is configured and validated. The operator’s plan includes a possible later 1% fee.
Will Monero and Zephyr launch on day one?
They are expansion candidates, not active services. The current strategy is Wownero first, with additional coins considered as software compatibility, infrastructure capacity and hashrate permit.
Is this P2Pool or a cloud-mining service?
Neither. HashRidge is planned as a traditional public pool run by an operator. It does not sell miners, rent hashrate, request investment deposits or offer staking products.
Are mining payouts guaranteed?
No. Mining outcomes depend on network difficulty, contributed hashrate, pool luck, fees and market conditions. Hardware and electricity costs can exceed rewards. No payout frequency, profitability or investment return is guaranteed.
What information will be published at launch?
The supported coin, actual pool address and ports, miner configuration instructions, fee and payout terms, service status and operational statistics. None of those should be inferred from the illustrative artwork or planning copy.
The climb starts with a solid foundation.
Independent pool. Focused launch. Clearly published terms.
