On October 13, Binance announced that Binance Pool and its related services will shut down on November 10, 2026. The closure affects not only the mining pool itself but also Pool Savings, Cloud Mining, Transaction Accelerator, Telegram hashrate notifications, email alerts, and the pool's API.

We understand that having to find a new mining pool on short notice can be stressful. Switching pools takes time and effort, especially when mining farms already have established setups and workflows. That's why we've worked to make the move to the EMCD Mining Pool as smooth as possible.

Key Dates to Keep in Mind

According to Binance's announcement, the pool will stop accepting hashrate and shares on November 10 at 07:00 UTC. Switching to another mining pool ahead of time will allow miners to test their new connection while their hardware is still running normally, without the last-minute rush.

Binance Pool Alternative: What EMCD Offers Miners

EMCD offers special benefits for new users seeking an alternative mining pool after the closure of Binance Pool.

Why Miners Choose EMCD

  • Top 10 BTC mining pool worldwide
    EMCD brings together thousands of miners from around the world
  • 9+ years of proven performance
    Over this time, EMCD miners have mined more than 30,000 BTC
  • 31.9 EH/s BTC pool hashrate
    Powering more than 2% of the global Bitcoin network hashrate
  • 10 supported cryptocurrencies
    Mine BTC, LTC, DOGE, BCH, ETC, and more, with merged mining available for supported coins
  • FPPS, PPS+, and PPLNS reward systems
    Reward distribution depends on the selected cryptocurrency

Special Offer for New Users

Miners switching to EMCD Mining Pool can take advantage of two exclusive benefits:

  • 2 weeks of mining with 0% pool fees
    Enjoy zero pool fees for the first 14 days of mining with EMCD
  • 1 month of free access to EMCD Monitoring
    Monitor ASIC miners, track hashrate, and check hardware status all from a single platform

With Binance also shutting down Telegram and email hashrate notifications, miners will need another way to monitor their equipment. EMCD Monitoring makes it easier to track device performance after switching to a new pool.

To activate the offer, enter the promo code welcome2 when creating an EMCD account. The promo code is available to new users only.

How to Switch from Binance Pool to EMCD

Switching to EMCD doesn't require replacing any mining hardware. The process simply involves creating an account and updating the ASIC miners' connection settings.

Step 1. Create an EMCD account

To activate the special offer, enter the promo code welcome2 during registration.

Step 2. Configure mining hardware

Once workers have been added, the EMCD Stratum address from the dashboard should be entered in the ASIC miners' settings.

Step 3. Check the hashrate

Once connected, make sure all workers are active and the hashrate is displayed correctly in the EMCD dashboard.

Step 4. Check the Binance Pool balance

Before Binance Pool shuts down, it's important to check the status of any remaining mining rewards and complete the necessary steps to receive payouts. Mining history and reports can also be saved before access to Binance Pool is discontinued.

We recommend switching before November 10, 2026, to avoid interruptions to mining operations.

Need Help Switching to EMCD?

Our support team is available to assist with hardware setup and answer any questions about the transition.

Mining involves market risks. Profitability depends on cryptocurrency prices, network difficulty, and mining equipment, and is not guaranteed.
