Providing a premium user experience to our miners is one of the core objectives of our Product team and something our entire team aspires to. This is why we have redesigned our Account Management pages and replaced one of the inefficiencies that existed previously — Google 2FA instead of SMS 2FA for adding and changing payout addresses.

We’ve prepared a brief guide to explain the changes.

Mining Accounts

If you’re one of our old miners, you might be familiar with our Payout Settings page. Moving forward, this is merged with our Mining Accounts page so everything you need to set up your mining accounts is in one place for your convenience.

Summary of the key functions:

  • Add Mining Account: Create a new mining account.
  • Payout Settings: Add or change payout addresses, pause or resume payouts, adjust payout threshold and sync payout addresses between mining accounts.
  • Payout Settings — Sync Payout Address: Conveniently sync the payout address with many or all other mining accounts for this user.
  • Read-Only Page: Generate a link to share your mining account statistics with others for read-only viewing of workers, hashrate, revenue, and payouts.
  • More: Change the mining account description, hide a mining account and remove a mining account.

Add or Change Payout Address

After selecting a mining account, you can view and change payout information. Don’t forget to set up a Payout Address for every currency you mine, as well as for all merged mining rewards.

Goodbye SMS 2FA — Hello Google 2-Step Verification

2-Step Verification and Maintainer Password are important tools to increase the security of your account. You can find these settings with the Security Settings page.

2-Step Verification: Once this function is turned on, you will need Google Authenticator to add or change your payout address.

Maintainer Password: Guest users can use the maintainer password to log in to your account. They can view the account hashrate and mining machine status, without being able to view Revenue and Account Settings pages.

We hope you will enjoy the new experience! Send us an email at support@f2pool.com or find us on Telegram, with your ideas or feedback.

Happy Mining 🐟
