Question 1

Do you hold my coins?

Accepted Answer

Briefly. FulgurPool is custodial: it credits your share of each confirmed block and pays your address once you're owed at least 0.0152 BRC, on confirmed on-chain settlement.

Question 2

When do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

As soon as your balance reaches 0.0152 BRC, the next payout sends it automatically — no claiming, no waiting on a button. The pool covers the network fee, so you receive 100% of what you're owed.

Question 3

What's the finder's bonus?

Accepted Answer

When your share seals a block, you earn an extra 3% of that block on top of your normal cut. It evens out over time — a bit of upside on every block you help find.

Question 4

Browser or the FulgurMiner app — which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Browser is the no-setup on-ramp. FulgurMiner runs headless on your computer, so it's never throttled the way a background browser tab is — better for 24/7 or full-speed mining. Same pool, same payouts; pick what fits.

Question 5

Is my wallet safe?

Accepted Answer

The pool only ever needs your public address — like an email. No private key ever leaves your device, and you never sign anything to mine.

Question 6

Why might the pool pause new miners?

Accepted Answer

To keep BrowserCoin decentralized. Whenever FulgurPool has found 30% or more of the recent network blocks, it temporarily stops admitting miners who aren't already active, and reopens automatically once its share drops back under 28%. Miners active in the last couple of hours keep mining and earning throughout — the brake only pauses new entries.
