Pyrin (PYI) Delisting

We regret to announce the delisting of Pyrin (PYI) from the 2Miners pool. As of December 20, 2024, at 07:00 UTC, PYI PPLNS and PYI SOLO operations have ceased. This decision was made after the developers abandoned the project, deleting all resources and leaving the community without support. We encourage PYI miners to use 2CryptoCalc to find alternative profitable coins to mine.

Nervos CKB miners can now enjoy enhanced pool features! We updated the API and statistics pages, enabling detailed hashrate and share statistics. You can also adjust the payout threshold directly in the CKB pool. If the changes don’t appear, clear your browser cache with Shift+Ctrl+R (or Shift+Command+R on macOS).
