Why the ZEC monitor accepts only transparent t-addresses

Only a transparent Zcash address enters this regular Equihash pool. Shielded and unified addresses are not the unpaid balance here, and the rate unit is S/s.

Submit only a transparent t1 or t3

Open the Zcash monitor and paste a t1 or t3, not a shielded address.

Should I enter a transparent or a shielded ZEC address?

Enter only a transparent address: t1 or t3 followed by 33 characters. The 2Miners ZEC help example is a t1. Zcash's own explanation says a shielded address keeps financial information private, while a transparent address makes that information public. This page accepts neither a shielded address starting with z nor a unified address. Do not treat a shielded wallet balance as this pool's unpaid amount. Do not paste a private key. Lookup does not start Equihash.

Which pool does the Equihash lookup use?

The lookup reads only the regular account on zec.2miners.com. The help page names the algorithm Equihash. In the API documentation, solo-zec.2miners.com is a separate server, and SOLO is not merged into this page. This is not a network-wide ZEC balance and not a transparent address from another pool. BTC or TON payouts offered on the help page are outside the lookup as well.

The transparent address is valid, so why are Workers missing?

A valid shape only means this page will query it. It does not mean the pool already has shares. If the miner points at SOLO, another pool, or a Worker name was pasted as the address, the list is empty. Empty is not a hardware verdict. Check recent shares on zec.2miners.com, then this site's Hong Kong fetch time. Sources and freshness explains why that clock is not the reward window.

How is S/s different from ZEC you hold?

This page shows the Equihash pool rate as S/s: a solution rate, not H/s, and not a count of ZEC. A Worker's S/s can differ from the account. Selecting a Worker changes only the rate and status you see. Coins in a shielded wallet and the unpaid figure here remain two different numbers. Do not turn S/s into an estimate of a day's payout.

How do unpaid, paid, and the last 24 hours read?

Unpaid is ZEC the pool has not sent. Total paid is what it has already sent. The last 24 hours is a rolling window, not UTC midnight and not the Hong Kong calendar day. Do not add these to the transparent address's on-chain balance or to a shielded balance. No number means a dash. ASIC models named on the help page only say the pool accepts their submissions. This site has not measured any machine's S/s.

How do I save several t-addresses, and does remove stop the miner?

After sign-in, one line on the Zcash monitor is one t1 or t3 and one account. Free is 5 per project and Pro is 50. Workers are not extra devices and not an extra charge. The device overview has no added total cap. Overview, the Mac Agent, and crash interpretation do not use ZEC quota. Remove only drops the saved address and does not stop the miner. A failed read can keep the last success and its original fetch time, marked stale. When the source looks wrong, use the pool account page. Do not explain a dash with movement in a shielded wallet.
