What Kryptex is
Kryptex started as a Windows mining application and later added a direct mining pool. The app side auto-selects what to mine and can pay in Bitcoin; the pool side mines a wide list of coins, including Pearl, and pays in the mined coin. Both require creating an account with an email address, and rigs are managed from that account. Around the pool sits a larger ecosystem: a referral program, ASIC firmware partnerships and monitoring apps.
What this pool is
HeroMiners is a direct pool with no account layer at all: your wallet address is your login, your statistics page and your payout destination. Pearl mining is PROP, at the fee shown live on the pool statistics and the same for solo, payouts run automatically every hour to your own wallet, and merged mining pays modelOS (MDL) alongside Pearl at no cost to your PRL earnings. Blocks, payments and per-miner stats are public and verifiable on-chain.
