How It Works - HashForge

Step 1: Create an Account

1

Sign up with your email address and set a secure password. We recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for enhanced security.

Required: Your BCH2 payout address where mining rewards will be sent.

Step 2: Deposit BTC

2

Deposit Bitcoin to your unique deposit address. Deposits require 3 blockchain confirmations before funds are available.

Note: Only send BTC. Other cryptocurrencies will be lost.

Step 3: Place an Order

3

Choose your mining settings:

Mining Mode: PPLNS (steady payouts) or Solo (full block rewards)
Hashrate: 1-500 PH/s
Budget: How much BTC to spend on hashrate

Your budget is consumed over time as hashrate is delivered. Larger budgets = longer mining time.

Step 4: Start Mining

4

Once you confirm your order, hashrate is allocated immediately through the Braiins Hashpower marketplace and directed to Forge Pool mining for BCH2.

Important: Orders cannot be cancelled within the first 60 minutes.

Step 5: Receive Rewards

5

Mining rewards are sent directly to your BCH2 address:

PPLNS Mode: Rewards distributed proportionally based on your shares
Solo Mode: Full block reward (if your hashrate finds a block)

Mining Modes Explained

PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares)

Your rewards are based on shares submitted, smoothed over time. More predictable payouts, lower variance. Best for consistent returns.

Solo Mining

You receive the entire block reward if your hashrate finds a block. High variance - you might find nothing, or win big. Best for those seeking larger potential payouts and comfortable with risk.

Pricing

Hashrate prices are determined by the Braiins Hashpower marketplace in real-time. You'll see the current price before placing any order.

Price is quoted in BTC per PH/day (petahash per day).

Managing Your Order

Extend: Add more budget to keep mining longer
Cancel: Stop mining and get unused budget refunded (after 60-min lock)
Monitor: Track hashrate, spending, and rewards in your dashboard
