How to find your worker IP address

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Payout settings changes are verified against your worker IP. Here is exactly which IP the pool means and how to find it on any system.

Why the pool asks for an IP

There is no account and no password on the pool, so settings that matter, like your minimum payout, must be protected another way: changes are only accepted from the IP address your own worker mines from. While you are actively mining, that is your top worker (your highest-hashrate worker); the payout settings tab names it and shows its masked IP so you know which one to enter.

Which IP it is

The pool sees the public IP of the internet connection your rig uses, not the local 192.168.x.x address of the machine. So the question "what is my worker IP" really means "what is the public IP of the network my rig is on".

The way that works everywhere

From any device on the SAME network as the rig, search "what is my IP" in a browser, or run this in a terminal (Windows PowerShell, Linux, HiveOS shell all work):

Terminal
curl ifconfig.me

The answer is the public IP the pool sees for every rig on that network.

Farms and multiple rigs

All rigs behind the same router share one public IP, so one lookup covers the whole farm. If your rigs are split across locations, each location has its own public IP; use the one belonging to the top worker shown on the payout tab. Note that home connections can get a new IP when the router reconnects, in which case simply enter the current one.
