How to Manage Multiple Mining Accounts

Learn how to create, organize, monitor, and manage multiple mining accounts under one PECPool user account. This guide explains account-level workers, hashrate, earnings, balances, wallets, payouts, alerts, Watch Links, naming strategies, and how to move miners safely between accounts.

PECPool allows mining operators to organize multiple mining accounts under one user account and manage them through a centralized panel.

Multiple mining accounts are useful when you manage different mining farms, customers, locations, teams, hardware groups, payout wallets, or accounting units.

Instead of mixing every miner and financial record into one account, you can separate mining activity logically while still accessing the accounts through the same PECPool login.

This guide explains how multiple mining accounts work, what information remains separate, how to assign miners correctly, how to compare account performance, and how to avoid common configuration and payout mistakes.

User Account vs Mining Account

A PECPool user account and a PECPool mining account are not the same thing.

PECPool User Account

The user account is the main account used to sign in to the PECPool control panel.

It includes information such as:

• Your registered email address
• Your PECPool login password
• Two-Factor Authentication settings
• Active sessions and account security
• Access to the mining accounts assigned to you

Mining Account

A mining account is the identity under which PECPool organizes mining activity.

Each mining account can contain:

• Workers
• Accepted mining shares
• Rejected and stale shares
• Current and average hashrate
• Hashrate charts
• Mining earnings
• Account balance
• Waiting payments
• Payout history
• A registered Bitcoin wallet and payout threshold

One PECPool user may have access to one or more mining accounts.

Example of One User with Multiple Mining Accounts

Suppose one PECPool user manages three mining operations:

User Login: operator@example.com

Mining Account 1: dubai-farm
Mining Account 2: oman-farm
Mining Account 3: customer-alpha

The user signs in once but can review and manage the mining information associated with all three accounts.

Each mining account remains a separate mining identity.

What Remains Separate Between Mining Accounts?

Information	Account-Specific?
Worker names	Yes
Accepted shares	Yes
Hashrate	Yes
Earnings	Yes
Balance	Yes
Waiting amount	Yes
Payout history	Yes
Bitcoin wallet	Yes
Withdrawal threshold	Yes
Watch Link selection	Configurable by account

Shares, hashrate, earnings, and balances submitted under one mining account are not automatically transferred to another mining account simply because both accounts belong to the same PECPool user.

When Should You Use Multiple Mining Accounts?

Creating separate mining accounts is useful when the mining activity must be divided by ownership, operation, location, or financial purpose.

Different Mining Locations

Example:

tehran-site
dubai-site
oman-site

Separate accounts make it easier to compare the hashrate, uptime, earnings, and performance of each location.

Different Customers

Example:

customer-alpha
customer-beta
customer-gamma

Each customer's miners and financial records can remain separated from the others.

Different Legal Entities or Business Units

Example:

company-mining
partner-mining
hosting-operation

This structure can simplify internal reporting and payout reconciliation.

Different Payout Wallets

Separate mining accounts can be used when different groups of miners must pay to different confirmed Bitcoin wallets.

Different Hardware Groups

Example:

antminer-fleet
whatsminer-fleet
test-miners

This can help compare hardware performance, rejected-share rates, uptime, and maintenance requirements.

Production and Testing

Example:

production
firmware-test
maintenance-test

Experimental miners can be kept separate from normal production mining statistics.

When Is One Mining Account Better?

Multiple accounts should provide a useful operational or financial separation.

You may not need a separate account for every physical miner.

When all miners:

• Belong to the same owner
• Use the same payout wallet
• Are managed by the same team
• Require the same accounting
• Operate as one mining group

one mining account with unique worker names may be easier to manage.

Example:

Mining Account: mainfarm

Workers:
mainfarm.rack01-miner01
mainfarm.rack01-miner02
mainfarm.rack02-miner01
mainfarm.rack02-miner02

Plan the Account Structure Before Adding Miners

A clear structure prevents workers, earnings, and payouts from being assigned to the wrong account.

Before creating multiple accounts, decide:

• What each account represents
• Who owns the miners
• Which location the account covers
• Which Bitcoin wallet should receive payouts
• Who should receive monitoring access
• Whether earnings and payout information may be shared

Choose Clear Mining Account Names

Mining account names should be short, identifiable, and easy to enter into ASIC miner configuration pages.

Good examples:

dubai01
omanfarm
clientalpha
rackwest
production

Less useful examples:

account1
newaccount
test123
mining
default

Generic names become confusing when several mining accounts are visible in the panel.

Recommended Naming Strategies

Location-Based

dubai-dc1
oman-site2
georgia-farm

Customer-Based

client-alpha
client-beta
hosting-customer03

Purpose-Based

production
testing
maintenance
firmware-lab

Hardware-Based

s19-fleet
m50-fleet
hydro-miners

Do not include passwords, wallet private information, or other sensitive information in the mining account name.

How to Add an Additional Mining Account

The exact button name may vary according to the current PECPool panel version, but the general process is:

1. Sign in to the official PECPool control panel.
2. Open the Accounts section.
3. Select the option to add or create a mining account.
4. Enter a clear and unique mining account name.
5. Complete the fields displayed by the panel.
6. Review the information carefully.
7. Save the mining account.
8. Open the new account and confirm that it appears in the account list.

The official PECPool control panel addresses are:

• https://cp.pecpool.com
• https://cp.pecpool.cc

Do Not Confuse the Mining Account with Your Login

The mining account name is entered into the ASIC miner's Worker field.

Your PECPool email address and login password are not entered into the miner's pool configuration.

Item	Used For
PECPool email or login	Signing in to the control panel
Mining account name	Identifying where the miner's shares should be recorded
Worker suffix	Identifying an individual physical miner
Pool password	Normally the placeholder value x

Assigning a Miner to the Correct Account

The mining account is selected through the Worker value configured inside the ASIC miner.

The recommended format is:

AccountName.WorkerName

Example for the Dubai account:

dubai-farm.rack01-miner01

Example for the Oman account:

oman-farm.rack01-miner01

Although both workers use the suffix rack01-miner01, they belong to different mining accounts because the account name at the beginning is different.

Complete Miner Configuration Example

Miner Assigned to Account A

Pool URL: stratum+tcp://btc-eu.pecpool.com:3333
Worker: accountA.miner01
Password: x

Miner Assigned to Account B

Pool URL: stratum+tcp://btc-eu.pecpool.com:3333
Worker: accountB.miner01
Password: x

The Pool URL can be the same, but PECPool records the mining activity under the account identified in the Worker field.

Use the Same Worker in Pool 1, Pool 2, and Pool 3

The same physical miner should normally use the same mining account and worker identity in all three pool entries.

Recommended:

Pool 1 Worker: accountA.miner01
Pool 2 Worker: accountA.miner01
Pool 3 Worker: accountA.miner01

Not recommended:

Pool 1 Worker: accountA.miner01
Pool 2 Worker: accountB.miner01
Pool 3 Worker: accountC.miner01

Using different accounts in the backup pool entries can cause the miner's activity to move
