Your Exergy hashrate heater earns BTC 24/7 — rewards are proportional to heat output (i.e., the more you heat, the more hash power you contribute to your chosen mining pool, and the more BTC you earn).
Exergy does not pay you. The Bitcoin network pays directly via your mining pool to your wallet (on-chain or Lightning).
Payout Frequency = Your Pool Settings
Most pools let you configure when payouts trigger:
| Trigger Type | How It Works | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Time-based | Auto-payout on a schedule | Daily, weekly, or monthly |
| Threshold-based | Payout when you hit a minimum | 1,000 satoshis (Lightning) or 0.01 BTC (on-chain) |
Recommended Minimums (Avoid Fees & Delays)
| Network | Minimum Threshold | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Lightning (Layer 2) | 1,000 satoshis (~$1 at $100k/BTC) | Near-instant, zero fees, daily/weekly payouts |
| On-Chain (Layer 1) | 0.01 BTC (~$1,000) | Higher tx fees; only use if required by pool |
Pro Move: → Use Lightning payouts to a wallet like Strike, Wallet of Satoshi, or Phoenix. → Set threshold to 10,000–50,000 sats → payouts every few weeks, no fees, auto-convert to USD if desired.
Bottom Line: You control payout frequency via your pool + wallet. → Enable Lightning + low threshold = smooth, frequent rewards. → Check your mining pool dashboard (e.g., Braiins, Luxor, Ocean) to adjust.
