Contribute verified work and receive a share of the blocks the pool finds. Mature rewards are paid automatically to your wallet.
Connect to the pool ↗Use XMRig over Stratum or the native Nival miner over HTTPS. Both submit work to this shared pool.
Default: one CPU thread and light memory mode. No private keys or recovery phrase are needed.

XMRig releases ↗ include Windows and Linux x64 packages. Check the archive against the release’s SHA256SUMS. The native miner is included in Nival Tools or built from the same source tree as the coin.
Generate a command above. Open PowerShell on Windows or a terminal on Linux in the extracted miner folder. Paste and run it. An accepted share confirms that the pool has recorded your work.
NVL uses RandomX, identified as rx/0 in XMRig. Use the Stratum host and port shown in your generated XMRig command. The /api/pool URL is the native miner’s HTTPS work endpoint; XMRig cannot mine through that URL. Stratum is plain TCP; the worker password is only a label, so never use a personal password.
Light mode needs roughly 256 MB for the RandomX cache and gives a lower hashrate. Fast mode uses a dataset of about 2 GB plus the cache and needs at least 2.5 GB of free RAM. Both modes produce the same valid proofs. The native Nival miner uses light mode. Start with one CPU thread and check memory and temperature before changing settings.
A share is accepted work, not a block reward. You receive an allocation when the pool finds a canonical block and your work is inside its PPLNS window. Rewards mature after 60 blocks. A balance of at least 0.1 NVL enters an automatic payout batch; the network fee is deducted. After a payout is confirmed, the wallet waits 10 blocks before its output is spendable. Time estimates depend on actual blocks, pool luck and network conditions.
Check your account below for accepted shares, immature rewards, available balance and reserved payouts. A disconnected miner keeps already credited balances. Orphaned blocks earn no reward. If the node or signer is recovering, payouts wait until chain and wallet checks pass.
Worker names, payout addresses, share counts, reward allocations and completed payout amounts are pool records. The pool exposes account data for a supplied address. This is separate from RingCT privacy on the blockchain. Use a dedicated mining wallet if you want to separate mining records from other activity.
The block counter includes every block found. Rewards are spendable only on the active chain after maturity; each retained record is checked against the node.
