How?

DirectHash rents real Bitcoin hashrate for short sessions. You choose where rewards go, pay the invoice, and the hashrate is pointed at your address.

Step 1

Enter a Bitcoin address

This is the payout address used by the mining pool. DirectHash does not create an account or custody mining rewards for you.

Step 2

Pick pool or solo

Pool mining gives smaller, more regular rewards. Solo mining is a lottery: if your session finds a block, the block reward goes to your address.

Step 3

Set a budget

The form estimates how long your budget buys at the current hashrate price. Advanced options let you set hashrate, duration, a custom pool, and a worker name.

Step 4

Pay with Bitcoin

Pay over Lightning or switch to on-chain on the invoice page. On-chain orders start after the required confirmations.

Step 5

Mining starts

Once payment is confirmed, DirectHash places the hashrate order and records the pool URL and worker name on your order page.

Where do payouts come from?

Payouts come from the selected mining pool, not from DirectHash. For pool mining, your address earns according to the pool's payout method. For solo mining, you only receive a payout if your rented hashrate finds a block during the session.

What does DirectHash store?

DirectHash stores the order details needed to run and display your session: payout address, amount, duration, payment reference, selected pool, and optional advanced settings. There is no account, username, email, or KYC flow.

How do I verify it?

After activation, your order page shows the worker name used for the session. For standard pools, you can check the pool's public dashboard for your payout address and see the hashrate arrive there.

What should I expect?

Mining is probabilistic. Pool mining can produce small rewards over time. Solo mining can produce nothing, or rarely a full block reward. Only spend what you are comfortable risking.
