After all the preparation, QPool, a mining pool that supports the QuarkChain official mainnet, will be launched April 17, 2020. One can join the pool using any ETH mining machines. After joining the mining pool, normal miners do not need to build and maintain a full cluster; they also can save the extra cost of running the full cluster. Indeed, joining QuarkChain mainnet for mining will present to miners as a more convenient alternative with more stable income. QPool supports miners to change ETH mining and QKC mining with one simple click. There are no commissions during the public test period; users who participate in public testing will enjoy life-time free VIP technical support and we welcome all miners to join us!

QPool aims to provide an easy-to-use experience for miners with transparent mining information and comprehensive technical support. During the period of public testing, we will impose no transaction fees. ETH miners can switch to mining QKC with just one click and we support Claymore mining. On top of that, we provide hash power calculation, real-time hash power display, hash power ranking, and so on in order to make the mining process more convenient and transparent. In the future, we will support more functions and provide smart contracts that help token holders and miners collaborate. Please see below for more details for our roadmap.
QPool supports QuarkChain’s PoSW (Proof of Staked Work) algorithm as consensus, which allows miners to earn more with fewer hash power through staked mining. At the moment, without staking,the reward on chain 3 and 4 are 1.5 times that of mining on Ethereum directly. In the state of staking, the rewards on each chain are far more than that of on Ethereum. Please see the figure below (you can view the real-time data on the homepage of the mining pool website).
