How should a CKPool wallet address and several Workers be named?

One payout address can carry several Worker suffixes. The monitor uses the address as the account. The label comes from the suffix, and it is empty when the name is the address itself.

Put only the payout address in the monitor

Leave the Worker suffix in the miner username. Paste the address without a dot on Bitcoin monitoring.

To tell miners apart on CKPool, set the username to the Bitcoin address, or to the address, a dot, and a Worker name. The operator says the Worker extension is optional and the password can be anything. The ASIC example uses x and says the password is ignored. That x is not an IOTA Watch account password, and the monitor does not collect it. Never paste a private key. When you need to see a real address shape, the public homepage example is bc1q28kkr5hk4gnqe3evma6runjrd2pvqyp8fpwfzu. It appears once in this pack, as a format example, and it is not an address owned by this site.

One address, several names

The payout identity is the address. The diagrams address.rack-a and address.rack-b stand for two miner usernames. address is not a real address, and neither string is pasteable. The monitor does not accept a dotted name, so the box takes only the payout address without a dot. After sign-in, each saved line is an address. The quota counts saved devices that include Bitcoin, not a universal number of addresses. Workers shown automatically under a lookup do not create extra records. A Worker or device you explicitly save as its own record can count. Several Bitcoin bindings on the same saved device use one Bitcoin device slot. Free is 5 saved devices per project, and Pro is 50 saved devices per project.

What the label means

The text after the dot is the label on the page. When the miner username equals the address, the label is empty and the row stays. An empty label is not "no machine," and the page does not show the full address as the name. The label separates hashrate and last share. It cannot split a balance in two: this source publishes no balance, paid total, or daily reward.

Illustrative case

Suppose miner A uses the diagram address.rack-a, miner B uses address.rack-b, and both passwords are x. Neither string is a real address, and neither is pasteable. In an illustration the two one-hour rates are 954G and 0. 954G is 954×10^9 H/s, and 0 is zero for that window. Those numbers are not measurements of two machines. The monitor account is still only the address without a dot. rack-a does not own a BTC slice, because there is no BTC amount to split.

Save the address on the Bitcoin monitor. How to read the page is in address monitor. Reward meaning is in solo is not daily income.

Common questions

Do two Workers get two balances?

No. The source has no balance, and a label cannot split BTC that is not there.

Do I enter the password x in the monitor?

No. x is only the ignored pool password in the operator's ASIC example.

If the label is empty, was nothing saved?

The address row is still there. An empty label only means the username was the address itself.
