Renting rigs on MiningRigRentals
How MiningRigRentals differs from NiceHash, how to point a rented rig at this pool, and how to check whether your coin's algorithm is rentable.
What MiningRigRentals is
MiningRigRentals (MRR) is a rig rental marketplace, also running since 2014. Rig owners list whole mining rigs under the algorithm they mine, and renters take over a rig for a fixed period. The key difference from NiceHash: on MRR the renter configures which pool the rig mines to for the rental period, so a rented rig behaves like one of your own workers.
The same algorithm rule applies
MRR listings are organized by algorithm, so you can only rent what owners have listed. Whether Pearl power is rentable there depends entirely on rigs being listed under its algorithm; if there are none, MRR cannot help for Pearl, and whole-machine GPU rental (the Clore.AI article in this section) is the way instead. Always check the marketplace's live listings rather than assuming.
Pointing a rented rig at this pool
When a listing for your coin's algorithm exists, renting is straightforward: add this pool as the rig's pool with the stratum host and port of your closest region, set your wallet address as the username (add a worker name after a dot if you want it labeled), and save. For the rental period the rig's shares land on your dashboard exactly like any other worker, and its earnings pay out to your wallet on the normal hourly schedule.
Do the math before renting
A rental only makes sense if the coins earned outrun the rent. Open the mining calculator, enter the rig's advertised hashrate, and compare the estimated earnings against the rental price, remembering that difficulty and price move. Treat advertised hashrate with mild skepticism and watch the first minutes of the rental on the dashboard to confirm the rig delivers what the listing promised.
