KuMining Mining Account Guide

Last updated: 02/27/2026

1. What is a Mining Account?

A Mining Account is a dedicated earnings account created for KuMining 2.0 users, designed to manage cloud mining assets and daily mining outputs.
When you purchase cloud hashrate:
  • Your mining outputs (BTC / DOGE) will be automatically credited to the Mining Account daily.
  • You can check your output history anytime.
  • You can withdraw, trade, or participate in other platform features.
  • In the future, it may also support staking, lending, or additional benefits.
In short, it functions as a dedicated wallet for “collecting mining outputs,” keeping your mining assets independent, clear, and manageable.

2. What is the purpose of a Mining Account?

The Mining Account in KuMining 2.0 aims to improve transparency, manageability, and efficiency in using your funds.
1. Clearer accounting
  • Mining outputs are separated from trading assets.
  • Daily outputs, cumulative outputs, and electricity fee deductions are clearly visible.
2. Professional management
  • All mining-related fund flows are centralized within the mining account.
  • Electricity deductions, output crediting, and freeze/unfreeze rules are all viewable in one place.
3. Expansion space for the mining ecosystem
  • Mining accounts are not only for current mining operations but also provide a foundation for future features.
  • Independent account structure and transparent operations allow users to participate in future mining-related services and products, making asset management more flexible and scalable.

3. How to Open a Mining Account

Opening a Mining Account is the first step to starting cloud mining. It is specifically for managing hashrate outputs, pre-deposited electricity fees, and other mining ecosystem operations.
Opening methods:
1. Via Mining Account Tab
  • Enter KuMining → Tap the Account tab → Click “Open Mining Account”.
2. Via New User Guide
  • Enter KuMining → Market tab → Tap the Beginner Guide at the top → Complete the “Open Mining Account” subtask.
3. Via Coin Purchase Page
  • Enter KuMining → Market tab → Select your preferred coin → Click “Place Order”.
  • If you haven’t opened a Mining Account, the system will prompt you to complete it.

4. How to Pre-Deposit Electricity Fees

Any of the following methods will be considered a pre-deposit for electricity:
  • Transfer USDT from another account to your Mining Account.
  • Deposit USDT directly into your Mining Account.

5. FAQ

1. What happens if my electricity fee balance is insufficient?

  • If your electricity balance is insufficient, daily outputs will be temporarily frozen.
  • Frozen outputs enjoy a 7-day grace period.
  • If you top up electricity fees within the grace period, frozen outputs will be released normally. Exceeding the grace period will result in the system using the day’s mining outputs to offset the electricity fee debt.

2. Does opening a Mining Account mean mining has started?

  No.Opening a Mining Account ≠ Mining has started. The complete process is:
  1. Open a Mining Account.
  2. Purchase hashrate.
  3. Pre-deposit electricity fees.
  4. Mining starts and outputs are credited daily.

3. What is the difference between a Mining Account and a main account?

Comparison Mining Account Main Account

Asset Display Mining asset breakdown Consolidated assets
4. What is the auto top-up (auto transfer) feature?
  • This feature automatically transfers USDT from your funds account to the Mining Account when electricity fees are insufficient. ⚠️ If your funds account USDT balance is insufficient, the auto transfer will fail, and a reminder will be triggered.

5. What is the Hold-to-Earn feature?

  • The mining account supports Hold-to-Earn, allowing both mining outputs and electricity fee balances to earn interest before being used.
  • Supported coins and rates follow KuCoin’s Hold-to-Earn service.

6. What is a “Hashrate Estimate”?

  • Hashrate estimate refers to the projected value of future mining outputs based on current network difficulty, hashrate, mining period, and market price.
  • Actual outputs may fluctuate due to coin price and network difficulty changes.
  • This estimate is for reference only and does not represent guaranteed output or future earnings.
  • It is not equivalent to withdrawable balance in the account.

7. Why do hashrate estimates fluctuate?

The estimate is dynamic and influenced by multiple external factors, including but not limited to:
  • Coin price volatility
  • Changes in total network mining difficulty
  • Network hashrate fluctuations
  • Adjustments to block reward mechanisms
