💚 Support the Prize Pool
D-01 Donate a slice of your payouts for miners — no account, no extra step
Just name one of your workers donate<N> — where N is the
percentage of your payouts (0–100) you want to give to the prize pool.
The donate tag can be the whole worker name or a -/_ suffix:
| Worker name | Result |
|---|---|
grin1…address.donate10 | Donate 10% of your payouts |
grin1…address.rig01-donate5 | Worker “rig01”, donate 5% |
grin1…address.donate0 | 0% — turn a donation back off |
grin1…address.rig01 | No donation (normal worker) |
donate101, donate-1, donatexx | Ignored — treated as a normal worker name, donates nothing |
Only donate0–donate100 donate. Anything out of
range or mistyped is safely treated as an ordinary worker name — a typo can never donate
more than you meant. The donation is applied to each payout as it's calculated.
D-03 Donor wall every miner who has donated payout slices
D-04 Where the prize pool goes 100% flows back to miners
The pool fee pays for the servers. It never touches the prize pool. The two are kept completely separate — running costs come out of the fee, and the prize pool exists only to be given back to miners.
- 💚 Where it comes from — seeded by the operator, grown by miner donations, and joined by any long-abandoned balances the pool sweeps. Nothing is ever paid out of it to the operator.
- 🎉 Where it goes — community contests and special occasions, announced ahead of time. There is no fixed schedule: draws are held when there is something worth giving away.
- 🎲 How winners are picked — every draw is seeded from a Grin block hash, published with the result, so anyone can check the winner was not chosen by hand.
- 🧾 How you can check — the balance is shown at the top of this page and every GRIN in and out is listed below, by source.
D-05 Prize pool ledger every GRIN in, every GRIN out
Balance now: — GRIN. A fully public account of where the prize pool is funded from and where it is paid out — including abandoned balances, which are never paid to the operator and instead fund community prizes. Lifetime totals.
