How do I see my payment history on a mining pool?
You can usually see your mining pool payment history by opening the pool’s dashboard and searching for your Monero wallet address, or by signing in if the pool uses accounts. Look for Payments, Payouts, or Transactions—that is where you can check what the pool has sent, when it sent it, and whether a payment is still waiting.
Open the correct pool dashboard
Start with the pool your miner actually connects to. Your mining app or browser-mining service may show its name in its settings, connection details, or help pages.
Open the pool’s official website carefully. Avoid look-alike sites or links sent by strangers offering to “recover” missing payments.
Most pools give you access in one of two ways:
- Wallet-based access: Paste the public Monero receiving address you entered when setting up your miner.
- Account-based access: Sign in, then open your mining account or wallet section.
Use the exact receiving address from your mining settings. If you switched addresses, older payments may appear only under the old address.
Your public receiving address is not your wallet password. A pool should never need your seed phrase, the secret words that let someone take control of your wallet, just to show your payment history.
Find the list of payments actually sent
On the dashboard, open the payment-history page rather than stopping at the balance display. These numbers can mean different things:
- Unpaid balance: Your recorded earnings that the pool has not sent yet.
- Pending payout: A payment queued or being processed.
- Paid total: The amount the pool reports paying over time.
- Payment history: Individual payouts, usually listed by date and amount.
A typical payment entry shows an amount in XMR, the symbol for Monero, plus a timestamp and a transaction ID, a unique reference for a transfer.
Check whether the page has date filters, extra pages, or a downloadable statement. Some pools show only recent entries by default. Also check the displayed time zone if a payment seems to have the wrong date.
Match a payment with your wallet
Open your Monero wallet and let it finish syncing—catching up with the network’s transaction records. Then compare the incoming payment’s amount, transaction ID, and approximate time with the pool’s entry.
You may also search the transaction ID in a block explorer, a website that shows blockchain records. It can help confirm that a transaction exists and has been included in a block.
Monero keeps transfer details private. A public explorer does not normally reveal the recipient or amount, so an explorer entry alone does not prove that your wallet received that payout. Your synced wallet is the better place to check.
Normal received funds generally need 10 confirmations before they become spendable. A confirmation means the network has added another block counting from the one containing the transfer.
If your history is empty or looks wrong
First check your address, account, date filters, and unpaid balance. You may not have reached the pool’s payout threshold, the minimum balance required before it sends a payment, or its next payment time.
If a listed payout is missing from your synced wallet, contact official pool support with the transaction ID, date, and expected amount. Never share your seed phrase or private keys.
The bottom line
Use your pool’s payment-history page to see what it reports sending, then check those entries against your synced wallet. Keep unpaid earnings separate from completed payouts, and save payment records if you need them later.
