Overview

Unmineable is a mining pool with a built-in exchange: you mine on your own GPU, CPU or ASIC through its stratum endpoints, and it pays you out in a coin you did not actually mine [1][5]. It is not cloud mining and sells no hashrate [5]. The operation has run since about 2020 under an anonymous operator [10], and on our check date every load-bearing fact - fees, thresholds, app version, live pool - verified against the operator's own machine-readable API [4][5][9].

What you can rent

Nothing - that is the honest classification. You point your own hardware at its pools (RandomX for CPU, and GPU/ASIC algorithms for coins like DOGE, LTC, KAS, BTC), and the platform converts rewards into one of its supported payout assets [5]. There are 99 supported payout assets per the operator API (the homepage conservatively says "80+") [7]. You bring the hardware and the electricity; Unmineable takes a fee on the conversion [3]. If you were looking for rented hashrate, this is the wrong product - there is no contract, term or minimum purchase here [5].

Contract & terms

There is no contract term - it is a mining pool with automatic daily payouts, "sent automatically once a day with no network fees", with per-coin thresholds (0.00075 BTC, 30 DOGE, 50 KAS, 0.03 XMR) [2][5][6]. The terms reserve the right to adjust fees at any time [2] and, critically, to require identity verification, source-of-funds information or enhanced due diligence before allowing payouts and withdrawals [3]. US persons are excluded by warranty in the terms [4]. There is no refund policy to speak of - payouts are the product. Support is by email only, and the operator explicitly warns it has no official Telegram or Discord channels [9].

Proof & verifiability

Verification here is about payouts, not hashrate - and the payout story checks out from two independent directions: the site pages state the thresholds, and the operator's public API confirms them with payment_enabled flags [4][5]. The pool endpoints are live (we verified the RandomX stratum accepts connections) [5], and the current app binary is recent, not abandonware [9]. What remains unverifiable: the actual conversion spread behind "1% includes everything" [3], platform-wide payout statistics (client-rendered, no public stats endpoint), and the operator's identity itself [10].

Reliability & history

The service has run since roughly 2020 with continuous archives and live infrastructure today [9]. Its fee clauses are the honest weak spot: the 1% marketing coexists with a terms section permitting fees "up to 10%" for certain assets, networks or smart-contract environments - none of which are enumerated publicly [2][3]. The operator is anonymous by design (privacy-proxied registration, governing law deferred to wherever it operates) [10]. Community signals across 2025 and 2026 are mostly payout confirmations and setup help [12], with one September 2026 report of payout-support emails going unanswered for weeks [11], and recurring criticism that the conversion exchange rate "is not the best" [12]. Antivirus flags on mining software are a known false-positive pattern, and we found no evidence the official client is malware [13] - but fake third-party "unMineable" apps are a documented history, which is why the official site's no-Telegram warning matters [9].

Pricing

The platform fee is 1% including conversion, with no exchange, payout or withdrawal fees passed to the miner [3] - but the terms allow up to 10% on certain assets or routes [2]. A referral code drops the fee to 0.75%, or 0.5% in total while actively using someone else's code [8]. Minimum payouts per coin: 0.00075 BTC, 30 DOGE, 50 KAS, 0.03 XMR, all machine-verifiable via the public API [4]. Accounts are email-only today; no KYC is demanded of ordinary miners, but identity checks can be required before payouts under the terms [3]. US persons are contractually excluded [4].

Verdict

Unmineable does one narrow thing - mine anything, get paid in anything - and does it verifiably: live pools, published thresholds, a current app, and a fee model we confirmed against its own API [4][5][9]. The residual risks are structural, not evidence of fraud: an anonymous operator, an unquantified conversion spread, a 10%-fee escape clause, and conditional payout holds under its terms [2][3]. Treat it as a hobbyist convenience for small, own-hardware mining - not a place to accumulate a large balance, and never download the miner from anywhere but the official site [9].

// How to get started with Unmineable

Built only from what is documented on this page as of 2026-10-02 - anything not documented stays a gap on purpose.

1. Open the provider site

   Everything happens on unmineable.com - we count the click, nothing else changes for you.

2. No ID check documented

   KYC is documented as none as of 2026-10-02. Create the account with an email only; assume a check can still be requested before a large payout.

3. Pay

   Accepted: BTC, ETH, DOGE, LTC, XMR, XNO, ZEC, KAS, ADA, SOL. Check the network and the deposit address inside your account, never from an email.

4. Read the term before you sign

   maintenance 1% platform fee incl. conversion (0.75%/0.5% with referral code) · refund: Not applicable / not stated (software and pool service; fees taken from rewards). A term you did not read is money you cannot get back.

5. Verify the output, not the dashboard

   Proof is documented as partial - Payout side verifiable: public API with per-coin thresholds and payment_enabled flags, live stratum endpoints (TCP-verified). Compare the first payout with the pool or wallet before scaling up.

6. Know the exit

   Payout frequency: once a day (automatic). Threshold: Per coin (site + API verified): 0.00075 BTC, 30 DOGE, 50 KAS, 0.03 XMR; automatic daily payouts, no network fees. Refunds: Not applicable / not stated (software and pool service; fees taken from rewards).

Red flags

• Terms allow fees "up to 10%" for certain assets/networks/smart-contract environments - which ones is not published
• Anonymous operator (privacy-proxied since 2019, no legal entity named)
• Terms reserve the right to demand identity/source-of-funds checks before payouts
• Conversion spread behind "1% includes everything" is unquantified; community calls the exchange rate "not the best"
• September 2026: one user reports payout-support emails unanswered for weeks
• Fake third-party unMineable apps are a documented history - official site only

What "legit" does not mean

A real, operating provider can still lose you money: with a contract you own no hardware, revenue follows coin price and difficulty, and most published contracts are priced so the seller comes out ahead. "Legit" means the operator exists and pays what its terms promise - not that the deal is profitable. 17 dated sources back this page; they are listed under sources.
