Dear Whalesburg Community!

A lot of questions have appeared lately asking what the difference is between Whalesburg and other well-known players in the space like NiceHash, ethOS, and Mining Pool Hub. The simple answer is that while other players each focus on a single aspect of miner’s needs, Whalesburg offers a one-stop solution for all of the complex needs today’s miners face.

In the diagram below, each of the five leaves represents one component of what it takes for miner’s to be the most successful:

Whalesburg — at the center — gives miners, for the first time, all five of these essential tools in one package that brings security, exceptional user experience, and out-of-the-box scalability for enterprise level miners.

Let’s go through each of the five leaves and compare how Whalesburg stacks up to the competition:

1. Operating System

Two popular providers in this space are nvOC and ethOS. Both of them force all users to be Linux experts — lack of graphic interface without the functionality for large-scale operations. Whalesburg has a clear edge over the competition with a next generation OS that has the following advantages:

Real-time integration with Whalesburg cloud.

Large-scale and remote monitoring, managing, and rebooting of your rigs.

This is a must for a farm bigger than ten units. Whalesburg will let you babysit your hardware, even from the beach.

We consider miners as investors; you invest in hardware, you calculate returns, you expect profits. Whalesburg OS will have a module for professional financial reporting, allowing you to include exactly the data you want.

The very first step in troubleshooting is to know that the problem has occured. For miners this should be a must in every software solution, but sadly it’s not. Whalesburg is going to set a new standard by sending you notifications in case of failures or for predefined events.

2. Whalesburg Mining Pool

The volatility of cryptocurrency markets and high costs of setup are the main reasons miners join pools. While today’s mining pools traditionally focus on a single coin, Whalesburg will constantly integrate multiple coins from multiple algorithms. Today it has three Proof-Of-Work cryptocurrencies based on EtHash algoritm — Ellaism, Pirl, and Expanse. This has the effect of increasing stability of mining.

For example last month mining PIRL — a relatively new coin — was up to 14% more profitable than mining Ethereum. Miners typically must follow the news closely in order to take advantage of such opportunities but Whalesburg lets you do it automatically.

The screenshot shows the process of comparing profitability of Ethereum against other coins. Pirl: 114 means that PIRL is 14% more profitable than ETH at that particular time.

In addition, Whalesburg Payouts Manager will offer the convenient option of automatically converting mined cryptocurrency to fiat currency or BTC. The current version of Whalesburg MVP converts all the mined coins into ETH.

3. Monitoring Tool

By storing all the statistics about your hardware in the cloud in real-time, Whalesburg will enable a huge range of features including one-click large-scale overclocking, troubleshooting, push notifications, income reporting, and forecasting.

4. Profit-Switching Solution

Whalesburg has a profit switching algorithm that automatically protects you from price drops. It analyzes every coin’s parameters to see the profitability reports tailored to your hardware setup. The decision is then made to instantly switch your hash rate, automatically!

Whalesburg’s Profit-Switching Solution Advantages Are:

Transparent pool shares and fees, stored in a blockchain.

Financial reports using real-time data.

Better technology

Whalesburg is coded using Go and Ruby languages. This grants more security and stability.

Whalesburg’s Profit Switching Solution is NOT a Crypto-Mining Marketplace

Beginner miners think of NiceHash as a mining pool with profit-switching algorithms. It is not. Regarding the profits, any other mining pool is much more profitable for miners to use than NiceNash. Since Whalesburg is a multicurrency mining pool with profit switching solution — it’s miners will receive significantly more profits than with NiceHash. This is because buyers of hash rate have to make some profits when they buy your hash rate, so when you use NiceHash you receive less profit than you could be.
