How Free Testing works

Free Testing lets you run 14 days of trial SHA-256 hashrate on a miner that is for sale. You do not enter a card or leave a deposit, and nothing is charged. You receive $5,000 of trial hashrate, so you can follow a mining day on the dashboard before you buy.

Keeping the pending rewards

If you buy $5,000 or more of hashrate on any miner that is for sale, the trial hashrate is removed, the hashrate you bought is added, and your pending rewards stay as pending payout. You don't have to buy the miner you tested. A purchase below $5,000 keeps only the hashrate you paid for, and the trial hashrate and the pending rewards from the test are removed.

The hashrate you buy is a rental of mining capacity. It is not a deposit you can get back. After any hashrate purchase, Free Testing is not offered on the account again.

During Free Testing

After you register and enter the 4-digit code from the email, choose Free Testing on the dashboard. Only one Free Testing can run on the account at a time.

The dashboard shows Mined, Power, and Reward, the same three columns you see after a purchase. Power is the electricity for that day, and Reward is what remains after that electricity is taken out of Mined. Those numbers change from day to day. They show that day only, and they are not a forecast of a later one.

There is no payout during Free Testing, so Reward stays as pending payout and you can see what the day produced. Automatic scaling stays at Off (0%), including when Advanced mode is on.

When Free Testing ends

After 14 days, the dashboard marks the miner Testing ended, and no new mining rewards are added after that. You then have 7 days. Buy $5,000 or more in that grace period, and the pending rewards already shown stay.

If you don't buy before the grace period ends, the trial hashrate and the pending testing rewards are cleared. Your account stays open, and you can start Free Testing again later or buy hashrate without it.
