WOLF PACK MINERS

You need a Bitcoin wallet address (starts with bc1, 1, or 3) to sign in and receive your share of any verified block reward. If you don't have one yet:

• Hardware wallet (recommended): Ledger, Trezor, or ColdCard — your keys, your coins. Most secure option.
• Software wallet: Electrum (desktop), BlueWallet (mobile), or Sparrow Wallet — free and open-source.

Once you have a wallet, copy your receive address and paste it into the Connect Wallet button on this site. That public wallet acts as your login and payout address. No browser extensions, no MetaMask, no seed phrases shared with us.

Use this onboarding process to register, build your pack, and begin hunting:

1. Sign in with your wallet — click "Connect Wallet" and enter the public Bitcoin address that should identify you and receive any verified reward share.
2. Join or create a pack — browse existing packs or use your wallet's one lifetime pack creation allowance. Choose Alpha (10), Strike (100), or Scout (1,000).
3. Recruit your pack — use Find Pack Members from My Packs to share a ready-written invitation and pack link on social media, mining groups, forums, or directly with miners you trust.
4. Copy your pool details — once you're in a pack, your pack details show the pool address (for example, wolfpackminers.com) and port in separate boxes.
5. Set the miner username / worker address — use the Wolfpackminers cold wallet as the miner username so the block reward points to the site cold wallet: bc1qj6tlwj0mr22384jhfam2dc06hfedtvm6j60knq.
6. Add your payout wallet as the worker identity — include the same wallet you used to sign in after the cold wallet, for example bc1qj6tlwj0mr22384jhfam2dc06hfedtvm6j60knq.your_wallet. Password is x.
7. Start mining — your hashrate will appear on the dashboard within minutes. You're now hunting with the pack.

Status meanings: Online means the wallet is registered as a pack member. Hunting means the miner is reporting positive measured hashrate and has submitted a recent accepted share. Resting, Inactive, and Abandoned follow the activity timeline explained below.

Works with any SHA-256 miner: BitAxe, Antminer, Whatsminer, or any ASIC/FPGA that supports stratum protocol.

Open My Packs, select your pack tab, and use the Find Pack Members social-media link. It creates a ready-written invitation with a direct link to your pack that you can share on any social platform. You can also find miners through the Wolfpackminers Discord and X @WPMAlphaWolf.

Share the pack name, founder name, available slots, and the kind of mining hardware you want to hunt alongside. Never ask anyone for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet access.

Small mining units such as ESP32 miners are great for learning and experimenting, and Wolf Pack Miners accepts every size of wolf. However, a low-powered device can show that it is hashing locally while remaining Resting on the website because it has not submitted an accepted pool share for an extended period. Share difficulty and the device's limited hashrate determine how often accepted work reaches the pool.

A Bitaxe Gamma is the realistic entry-level recommendation for miners who want to contribute accepted shares more consistently. It is still possible for a much smaller device to find a Bitcoin block, but low-powered hardware has practical limitations: it completes less work, submits qualifying shares less often, and may spend longer in Resting status.

Payout eligibility requires active contribution at the moment a block is found. Pack membership or a local "hashing" display alone is not enough. For fairness, a wolf must be connected, reporting positive measured hashrate, and have a recent accepted share in the payout window. Resting, Inactive, and Abandoned members are not included in that block's immutable payout snapshot.

The system tracks miner status as follows:

• ● Online — registered and connected to the pack.
• ● Hunting — actively contributing recent accepted work and eligible for rewards.
• ● Resting — no accepted share for 30 minutes. Not currently payout-eligible.
• ● Inactive (24h+) — not contributing. Not eligible for rewards.
• ● Abandoned (72h+) — auto-removed from pack. Slot opens for another wolf.

Keep the miner connected and verify accepted shares on the pool dashboard. The hunt rewards contribution, not registration alone.
