You’ve read How to Mine on Grinmint — A Step-by-Step Tutorial, set up your miners, started mining and now you’d like to get your precious grins? This short guide will explain how to get Grinmint payouts from email payouts to direct http payouts.

Overview

This guide will explore the two ways to request a payout on Grinmint: email and HTTP.

Once you have more than 0.01 grins in your unpaid balance you can do a withdrawal request.

Requesting an Email Payout

1. Go on your Grinmint Dashboard

Go on Grinmint website:

Then fill out the email field and press the magnifying glass button: you are now in your dashboard. You should see a similar screen:

You can see that this user has an unpaid balance of 42720.1337 grins.

2. Go to the Payouts Tab

Go on your payouts tab in your dashboard.

Then fill the password field with your password and click “Request Email Payout”.

You should then receive an email similar to this one:

Save the file attached on your computer, for example in the tx directory.

3. “Receive” the Transaction

Start a command prompt and write:

cd tx
grin wallet receive -i tx-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

With the first line, you’ll go to the tx directory. The second line allows you to “receive” the transaction. This will create in the same directory a tx-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.response file.

4. Upload the Transaction to Grinmint

Go back to your dashboard in the “Payouts” tab.

Then fill the password field with your password, click “Finalize Transaction” and select the tx-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.response file. A prompt will indicate you that the upload was successful.

That’s it! Wait a few seconds and the grins should appears in your wallet. To see the number of grins in your wallet, type:

Requesting an HTTP Payout

While the previous payment method will work in most cases, you may want to set-up a listener for faster payments.

This will require a listening wallet and an open port on your firewall.

1. Start your HTTP Wallet Listener

On your computer, type:

grin wallet -e listen

This will start the HTTP wallet listener.

2. Go on your Grinmint Dashboard

Go on Grinmint website:

Then fill out the email field and press the magnifying glass button: you are now in your dashboard. You should see a similar screen:

You can see that this user has an unpaid balance of 42720.1337 grins.

3. Go to the Settings Tab

Fill the password field with your previous Stratum password and type your IP wallet address. For example 192.167.2.4:13415 .

Then click the submit button.

By doing this you have specified a wallet address to your profile.

4. Go to the Payouts Tab

Go on your payouts tab in your dashboard.

Then fill the password field with your password and click “Request HTTP Payout”.

That’s it! Wait a few seconds and the grins should appears in your wallet. To see the number of grins in your wallet, type:
