Why do I need to register in the MaxiPool?
MaxiPool is a decentralized mining pool developed by MaxiDAO. MaxiDAO plans to issue the MAXI governance tokens to all farmers. The MAXI token is an ERC20 token on Ethereum or Ethereum compatible blockchain. In order to receive the MAXI governance token, farmers need to register their Ethereum address to the pool using Metamask wallet. Farmers can still join the pool without registering the Ethereum wallet. However, you won't be able to receive the MAXI governance token if not registered.
Why do I need to sign the message using Chia CLI?
In order to prevent others impersonate the farmer, each farmer has to prove you own the farming plots. To sign a certain message using your own private key is the standard cryptography process to prove the ownership. Your private key won't be leaked during the signing process.
Check this post for more details on the signing process to prove ownership.
How do I know I have joined the MaxiPool?
There are several methods.
you may check the dashboard of the pool to find your launcher ID. Noted the dashboard may have some latency before your launcher ID can be found there.
If you are farming using GUI, you may find your farming info by checking your plot NFT.
If you are farming using Chia CLI, you may run the following command,
chia plotnft show.
What are the pool fees?
The pool fee is 2.5%, and the MaxiPool will issue MAXI governance token to farmers later after TGE (Token Generation Event).
