The Platform

Three ways to earn on PrimeTriad

Stake with PrimeIndexer, mine Hybrid PPS+, or merge-mine Bitcoin + Fractal — all on hardware we run.

Production

Index Mining

Stake FB with PrimeTriad’s FIP-101 indexer. Track proofs, unstake when you want, and claim allocated rewards from the same dashboard.

  • Always-on Fractal full node
  • Proof publishing & arrival maps
  • Connect a UniSat wallet and manage your position on-chain
  • Allocated index rewards with live APR and pending balance
  • See who indexed each block first across the network
  • Bind PrimeIndexer (1 FB min)

Index Mining allocates a share of Fractal block rewards to indexers. Staking on PrimeIndexer is non-custodial Taproot staking — you keep control of your FB while earning allocated rewards.

Merged Mining

One ASIC hash settles both ledgers — Bitcoin and Fractal, same energy, separate rewards.

  • BTC + FB AuxPoW · one Stratum
  • Dual finder bonuses
  • Shared hashrate, two ledgers
  • 1 BTC + 2 FB finder bonuses · 1.5% fee
  • PROP-N share window · not Hybrid PPS+

Compound mining

Turn Hybrid PPS+ into Index Mining stake

Official Binding starts at 1 FB. Compound only works after you Bind PrimeIndexer and link pool payouts to that stake address — Binding alone is not enough.

Open staking to Bind Link payouts on dashboard

Use the same FB address for Stratum, UniSat, Binding, and the compound toggle. Finder 2 FB still pays the mining address. Merged mining (3340–3342) is a separate product and does not compound.

  1. 1
    Mine Hybrid PPS+

    Point your miner at ports 3334–3336. Username is the same FB address you will stake with. Password is x.

  2. 2
    Bind PrimeIndexer (1 FB min)

    Open My Staking, connect UniSat with that address, and stake at least 1 FB to PrimeIndexer (1818297:10). That on-chain Binding creates your stake address.

  3. 3
    Wait for confirmation

    Let the Binding confirm. If compound still says “no Binding,” refresh after a few blocks — do not toggle yet.

  4. 4
    Link PPS+ to the stake address

    On the pool dashboard, look up your miner, connect UniSat, select the PrimeIndexer Binding, and turn on “Pay PPS to stake address.” That link is what makes compound work.

FIP-104 DRAFT : Miner-Only Index Mining Top-Ups via Allowlisted Mining Pools

How Rewards Work

Two Stratum products, two payout models

Hybrid PPS+ pays Fractal per accepted share on ports 3334–3336. Merged mining pays PROP-N on a found BTC or FB block on ports 3340–3342. Index Mining rewards are claimed from staking, not Stratum.

Hybrid PPS+

Stable FB per accepted share

Ports 3334–3336 · username is your FB address

01

Block finder

2 FB

Paid in the coinbase to the miner who found the block

02

Platform fee

1.5%

Taken from PPS gross credit — operator fee, transparent

03

Contributors

PPS+

FB credited per share from network difficulty × reward rate

Credits accrue as you submit shares. Threshold auto-payouts send on-chain FB to the address in your worker name.

Merged mining · Beta

PROP-N when a block is found

Ports 3340–3342 · not Hybrid PPS+ · BTC username, FB password

01

Block finder

1 BTC + 2 FB

1 BTC on a Bitcoin find · 2 FB on a Fractal find — paid from that coin’s coinbase

02

Platform fee

1.5%

Taken from that coin’s coinbase before the share window is split

03

Contributors

PROP-N

Remainder split by share-diff in that coin’s rolling window, then the window resets

When this pool finds a BTC or FB block, miners are paid on-chain after 100 confirmations: finder bonus, 1.5% fee, remainder by that coin’s PROP-N window. Bitcoin to your username; Fractal to your password. This is not per-share PPS+.

FAQ

Questions by mining type

Index Mining, Hybrid PPS+, and merged BTC+FB each have their own connection path and payout rules.

Index Mining

Stake FB on PrimeIndexer

Not Stratum. Rewards come from indexer allocation, claimed on-chain from the staking dashboard.

How do I stake on PrimeIndexer?

Open the staking dashboard, connect UniSat, then stake at least 1 FB to PrimeIndexer. That creates the FIP-101 Binding. You can unstake and claim allocated rewards from the same UI.

How are Index Mining rewards paid?

PrimeIndexer earns protocol index rewards as it indexes Fractal blocks. Allocated FB accrues to your stake; you claim it on-chain from the staking UI. This is not Hybrid PPS+ and not merged-mining PROP-N.

Is Index Mining the same as the mining pool?

No. Index Mining is FIP-101 staking to PrimeIndexer. The Stratum pool is a separate product: Hybrid PPS+ on ports 3334–3336, or merged mining on 3340–3342.

How do I compound mining into staking?

Mine Hybrid PPS+ with your FB address, Bind at least 1 FB to PrimeIndexer with the same wallet, then on the pool dashboard toggle “Pay PPS to stake address.” Binding without that link still pays your mining address.

Permissionless Mining

Hybrid PPS+ (ports 3334–3336)

Fractal-only Stratum. Username is your FB address. Password is x or a difficulty floor.

How do I connect my miner?

Use Stratum URL stratum+tcp://pool.primetriad.com:3334 (Europe: eu.pool.primetriad.com:3334, Asia: sg.pool.primetriad.com:3334), username = your Fractal Bitcoin address, password x. Works with ASICs, Zyber/Bitaxe, and any Stratum-compatible miner. No account or API key required. Confirm shares on pool.primetriad.com.

What fees and rewards should I expect?

Hybrid PPS+: each accepted share earns FB credit from the published rate after a 1.5% fee. The miner who finds a block also receives a 2 FB coinbase bonus. Minimum payout is 0.1 FB, paid on-chain every 6h.

Do you pay via Lightning?

No. Fractal Bitcoin does not have Lightning. PrimeTriad pays on-chain FB to the address in your worker name.

Is this a permissionless pool?

Yes. Anyone can connect with a valid FB address. There is no KYC, whitelist, or registration. Hashrate is pooled; payouts follow published share accounting.

Where is live hashrate and miner data?

The public dashboard at https://pool.primetriad.com shows pool hashrate, workers, blocks, and payouts in real time.

Merged Mining

BTC + FB AuxPoW (ports 3340–3342)

Separate stack from Hybrid PPS+. One hash, two ledgers. Username is Bitcoin; password is Fractal.

How do I merge-mine Bitcoin and Fractal?

Use a different port than Hybrid PPS+. Default stratum+tcp://pool.primetriad.com:3341 (Zyber/Bitaxe :3340, high :3342). Same hosts in EU and Singapore. Username is your Bitcoin address (optional .worker). Password is your Fractal Bitcoin address — not x. Merge is PROP-N with 1 BTC + 2 FB finder bonuses and a 1.5% fee; it is not Hybrid PPS+.

How does merged-mining payout work?

When the pool finds a block on one coin, that coin’s coinbase is split: finder bonus (1 BTC or 2 FB), then 1.5% fee, then the remainder by share-diff in that coin’s rolling PROP-N window. The other coin’s window is unchanged. After 100 confirmations the pool sends Bitcoin to your Stratum username and Fractal to your password address.

Can I use the same ports as Hybrid PPS+?

No. Hybrid PPS+ is 3334–3336. Merged mining is 3340–3342. Pointing a merge miner at 3334 will not AuxPoW Bitcoin. Password x will also fail on merge — it needs a real FB address.
