Proofs are not proceeds.
Opt-in device mining can support a campaign and work toward entries. CPU and supported GPU options use processing power, memory, electricity and battery. Verified work, accepted pool shares, confirmed credit and wallet payments are different things.
How mining becomes entries
Read the campaign’s published entry rules and the beneficiary shown before you start. For pool-credit entries, the service checks actual XMR credit reported by the pool before applying it to the campaign’s entry price. Hash counts, accepted shares and estimated yield alone do not issue an entry.
Your device, your choice
Mining starts with an explicit Start or Resume action after you review the resource and consent settings. You can stop it using the mining controls. CPU and GPU choices have separate settings where available; opening a page or selecting an option does not start either processor.
Optional background mining must be selected for the relevant processor. Browsers and operating systems may still throttle, suspend or interrupt a background session. Reloading a page does not restore authorization or automatically restart mining.
Estimates are not promises
Entry-time estimates depend on measured performance, current network conditions, pool fees and confirmed credit. Hashrates from different algorithms are not directly comparable. Your device may slow down or heat up, and electricity costs can exceed the value generated.
Pools apply their own accounting, payout thresholds and fees. Confirmed pool credit is not the same as money received in a wallet, and a session may finish without enough credit for an entry or a payout.
Understand the campaign’s reward
Fixed XMR prizes require prefunding. Entry-funded prizes use the published share of qualifying paid and mined entry amounts and require confirmed wallet backing before payout. Manually delivered rewards are fulfilled by the organizer. Read the campaign’s rules for its reward, limits and deadlines.
