The longer story
Luxor is the pool for miners who think like traders: alongside FPPS mining it operates the industry’s reference hashprice index, hashrate derivatives, firmware and an ASIC brokerage — a full financial stack around the business of mining.
It suits professional North American operations that want data-driven tooling and hedging options from one counterparty. Miners who just want to point machines and get paid have simpler options; Luxor’s value density assumes you use it.
Quick answers
- How does Luxor pay miners?
- Luxor uses FPPS — the pool pays expected value per share including fees, so the pool carries block-finding variance, not you.
- How long has Luxor been operating?
- Luxor has operated since 2017 (United States) — in mining, payout track record is the trust signal that matters most.
- Is Luxor transparent, and does it support Lightning payouts?
- Its accounting is conventional-custodial: you trust the operator’s numbers, as with most large pools. Payouts are on-chain only.
