FAQ
How often do mining pools change their fees?
Most major pools update fees once or twice per year. Some pools (Foundry USA, Neopool) negotiate rates individually, so changes may not appear on public pages. We check official sources monthly and flag any difference in this report.
Which pool has the lowest BTC mining fee right now?
Tpool charges 0.9% FPPS for BTC mining, the lowest published rate among BTC pools in our comparison. Trustpool follows at 1% PPS+. Use our profitability calculator to see how fee differences affect your daily earnings with your specific hardware.
Do minimum payout thresholds matter for small miners?
Yes. If your hashrate is low, a 0.01 BTC minimum (like Foundry USA) means waiting weeks or months for your first payout. Pools with 0.0001 BTC minimums (Tpool, EMCD, Promminer) pay out daily even at modest hashrates. Check our miner ranking to estimate daily output by ASIC model.
Where can I compare pool profitability side by side?
Our mining calculator lets you enter hashrate, electricity cost, and pool fee to get net BTC per day. The pool comparison page ranks all 17+ pools by fee, payout model, and minimum threshold.
Why are some pool fees listed as "not disclosed"?
Foundry USA and Neopool use tiered or negotiated pricing. Their rates depend on your hashrate volume and are set during onboarding. We list "not disclosed" rather than guess, and link to their pricing pages so you can request a quote directly.
Is 4% FPPS always worse than 1% PPLNS?
Not necessarily. FPPS pays you for every share regardless of block luck, and includes a share of transaction fees. PPLNS at 1% can pay more during lucky stretches but less during dry spells. For steady income, FPPS often wins even at a higher fee. We break this down in our FPPS vs PPLNS guide.
