Xelis (XEL) mining pool

mainnet

XelisHash v3 · GPU + CPU · Block time 5s · Confirmations 50 · PPLNS

Xelis produces a block every 5 seconds, so even a small pool finds blocks all day and balances grow steadily instead of in rare jumps. XelisHash v3 runs on GPUs and CPUs — even both at once from the same SRBMiner process.

How to connect

Point your miner at stratum.hashlak.com with the port that fits your setup. Use the hostname, never an IP: the Stratum server can move behind the same name.

Payouts run every 10 minutes once your balance reaches 0.5 XEL. Mine to a wallet you control, not to an exchange deposit address.

Miner commands

Replace {wallet} with your address and {worker} with a name for the rig, then run.

SRBMiner-MULTI
SRBMiner-MULTI --algorithm xelishashv3 --pool stratum.hashlak.com:3303 --wallet {wallet} --worker {worker}
Rigel (NVIDIA)
rigel -a xelishashv3 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.hashlak.com:3303 -u {wallet} -w {worker}
SRBMiner-MULTI, TLS
SRBMiner-MULTI --algorithm xelishashv3 --pool stratum.hashlak.com:3503 --tls true --wallet {wallet} --worker {worker}

Antivirus software usually deletes or blocks miners — add an exclusion for the miner folder (ESET: Setup → Advanced setup → Detection Engine → Exclusions). Note: opening a Stratum port in a browser bans your IP for 60 s, a wrong address for 3 s per retry, and 50% invalid shares for 10 minutes.

Common questions about mining Xelis

Which address do I mine to?

A Xelis address starts with xel: and is 63 characters long. Test-network addresses (xet:) are refused, and so are long integrated addresses from exchanges — the pool mines to the base address only. Mine to your own wallet (Genesix or the command-line wallet) and transfer to an exchange afterwards.

What are "side" blocks in the stats?

Xelis is a BlockDAG: blocks found at the same height as another block are side blocks and earn 30% of the reward. They count for you like any other block. Blocks need 50 topoheights to confirm, which takes a few minutes.

When and how am I paid?

Every 10 minutes the pool pays every balance above 0.5 XEL and covers the network fee itself. With 5-second blocks a small miner typically crosses the threshold within hours, not days.

GPU, CPU or both?

Both. SRBMiner mines XelisHash v3 on AMD, NVIDIA and Intel GPUs and on the CPU, together in one process (--cpu-threads next to the GPU). Rigel is the alternative on NVIDIA. As a rough idea: a laptop RTX 2070 does about 3.3 kH/s at 72 W, a desktop card more (our measurements, approximate).

Which port and difficulty?

3303 for one card or CPU, 3403 for farms, 3503 for TLS (stratum+ssl:// with Rigel, --tls true with SRBMiner). To pin the difficulty add d=50000 to the password (minimum 2500 on 3303, 100000 on 3403). HiveOS: pool custom, URL stratum.hashlak.com:3403, wallet %WAL%, worker %WORKER_NAME%.
