Terms of Service

1. Agreement and operator

These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you and LoveMedia Foundation NPC, company registration number 2024/122569/08, trading through XMR.gives ("LoveMedia", "XMR.gives", "we", "us", or "our"). Our registered contact address is Unit 1 Raddical Park, 3 Gourly Rd, Ballito, 4399, South Africa.

Reward-method terms last updated: 4 August 2026. Reward-method changes apply prospectively to work accepted after their effective implementation; historic accepted work retains the rate stamped when it was accepted.

By creating an account, connecting mining equipment, submitting work, entering a raffle program, or otherwise using the website or pool endpoints, you accept these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, and any program-specific rules published before entry. If you do not agree, do not register or connect mining equipment.

2. Eligibility and territorial restrictions

You must be at least 18 years old, have legal capacity to contract, control the payout wallet you register, and be permitted under the laws of your location to mine crypto assets and participate in the selected program. You may not use the service while subject to applicable sanctions or from a territory where the service, crypto-asset mining, a chance-based promotion, or the required reward allocation is prohibited.

Raffle eligibility is additionally subject to applicable promotions, lotteries, gambling, consumer, tax, anti-money-laundering, and sanctions laws. A dashboard ticket does not override a legal disqualification. Directors, members, employees, agents, consultants, auditors, suppliers, and their immediate family members are excluded wherever applicable law requires that exclusion. We may require reasonable identity, age, residency, wallet-control, sanctions, or tax verification before a payout where legally required.

3. The service

XMR.gives provides account registration, Monero-compatible Stratum routes, accepted-work tracking, estimated mining statistics, an internal reward ledger, manual payout administration, raffle ticket records, and independently supplied result records. The service does not sell Monero, provide an exchange, give investment advice, guarantee mining profitability, or hold your wallet seed or private keys.

All mining rewards are first directed to the pool collection wallet. Your registered wallet is a payout destination only and must not be used as your Stratum worker name. You choose a unique worker identity during registration and must use the exact value shown in your dashboard. Worker names are case-insensitively unique and stored in lowercase. The Stratum password field is optional, ignored for authentication and attribution, and must never contain your website password or wallet secret. Published fixed-difficulty suffixes are removed before worker matching. Work submitted under an unknown, misspelled, or unregistered worker may be forwarded but cannot be assigned to your account.

4. Accounts and security

You must provide accurate information, maintain one account unless we approve otherwise, keep your password and wallet secure, and promptly update an incorrect payout address. You are responsible for activity under your credentials and for checking your dashboard after changing a wallet. Never give us a seed phrase, private spend key, private view key, exchange password, or one-time authentication code.

We may suspend access to protect users, investigate abuse, comply with law, address duplicate or fraudulent accounts, or prevent damage to the pool. We will not confiscate a valid recorded balance merely because an account is suspended; lawful verification, set-off, forfeiture, or regulatory requirements may still apply.

5. Mining, shares, and reward accounting

Mining is probabilistic. Hashrate, accepted-share counts, difficulty, block observations, reward estimates, and timing can vary. An accepted share proves submitted work at a recorded difficulty; it does not guarantee a block, a fixed amount of XMR, a raffle win, or an immediate wallet payment.

You may select PPLNS or PPS+ accounting for new work through the authenticated dashboard. The selection applies at account level across all registered rigs and raffle routes; it does not alter the upstream Monero pool protocol. During PPS+ qualification, the effective accounting method remains PPLNS. The ledger stamps each accepted share with its effective method, route allocation, and applicable retention so a later policy change cannot be applied retrospectively.

PPLNS calculation. When a confirmed mining reward reaches the collection wallet, an administrator records the exact gross amount and a unique source reference. The platform apportions the receipt between then-unsettled PPLNS and PPS+ work in proportion to accepted difficulty. For PPLNS work accepted under the current terms, 20% of the miner's attributed gross portion is retained by the operator. The remaining 80% is the PPLNS reward base. The chosen route's raffle allocation is deducted from that reward base, and the remainder is credited to the internal unpaid balance. The PPLNS pool fee is 0%; the operator retention is a separate economic deduction and appears separately in calculations and ledger records. PPLNS has no minimum hashrate or six-hour qualification, but work may receive no reward when the pool does not find a payable block while that work remains eligible in the PPLNS window.

PPS+ calculation. PPS+ is an operator-backed expected-value accounting method, not a native PPS upstream pool. For each eligible accepted share, expected gross XMR equals share difficulty divided by sampled Monero network difficulty, multiplied by the sampled block reward. 50% of expected gross value becomes the miner's PPS+ reward base; the remaining 50% is retained by the operator. A 0.8% PPS+ pool fee and the chosen route's raffle allocation are each calculated from and deducted from that reward base. The remaining amount is the calculated PPS+ net credit. Network inputs are sampled from the local node and retained with the accrual evidence.

PPS+ qualification and fallback. The qualifying clock begins with the first registered rig connection after selection. Activation requires 6 continuous hours, a rolling one-hour account average of at least 10 kH/s, and a complete qualifying-session average at or above that threshold. All registered rigs are measured together. One rig disconnecting does not fail the account while another remains active, but a complete disconnect before qualification changes the account to PPLNS. After the one-hour warm-up, a rolling average below the threshold also changes the account to PPLNS. Qualification-period work remains PPLNS unless it qualifies before being included in a confirmed master-wallet settlement. PPS+ is intended for miners able to sustain at least six hours at 10 kH/s or more on their mining days; miners who cannot should select PPLNS.

PPS+ funding cap. A PPS+ calculation does not itself create spendable XMR. Automatic balance credits are limited to confirmed PPS+ reserve capacity from specifically recorded funding and collection-wallet receipt portions attributable to PPS+ work. If reserve capacity is insufficient, the calculated net remains pending and cannot be withdrawn. Each funded batch records expected gross value, reward-factor reduction, pool fee, raffle allocation, net credit, shares, difficulty, and a unique audit reference. The same share cannot receive both a PPLNS settlement credit and a PPS+ credit.

Raffle allocations are separate from payout-method deductions and the PPS+ pool fee. A changed fee, retention, reward factor, eligibility rule, or allocation applies only prospectively after publication and any acceptance required by law; newly announced rates are not applied retrospectively to already accepted work. Historic work that was not captured by the account ledger cannot be reconstructed solely from a current worker name.

6. Balances, adjustments, and payouts

An unpaid balance is an internal accounting liability, not an on-chain balance and not a deposit account. A pending PPS+ calculation is not part of the unpaid balance until both qualification and reserve checks pass. Completing PPS+ qualification is therefore required before a PPS+ amount can become withdrawable; existing PPLNS, prize, or other funded balances are not frozen merely because PPS+ qualification is pending. A payment is complete only when a transaction has been broadcast through the stated payment method and receives the confirmations reasonably required by that network or provider. You are responsible for wallet compatibility, custody, backups, and network or exchange restrictions.

Payouts are reviewed and initiated manually. The minimum miner withdrawal is 0.003 XMR. Submitting a request immediately reserves its complete XMR amount from the available balance. You may cancel a pending request and recover the complete reservation until an administrator locks it for processing. A rejected request is restored in full. The application does not broadcast XMR or BTC transactions.

An XMR-wallet withdrawal currently has a 0% withdrawal fee, so the current 0% rate makes the destination amount equal to the requested XMR. A BTC-wallet request has a 15% coin-conversion fee deducted from the requested XMR. The remaining XMR value is converted externally at the rate available during processing. Any displayed BTC estimate is a reference, not a locked quote. The completed record states the actual BTC delivered and payment reference. The confirmation screen is authoritative for a new request.

We may change withdrawal methods or fees only prospectively after displaying the applicable rate before confirmation. We may make disclosed, itemised corrections for duplicate credits, invalid work, confirmed overpayments, agreed hardware or electricity costs, or other lawful account adjustments. Any deduction must appear in the ledger with a reason and may be disputed through support. Raffle allocations are applied automatically at the published route rate and are not refundable after valid work has entered an active round except where law or the published program rules require otherwise.

You are responsible for taxes, declarations, exchange controls, permits, and professional advice applicable to mining rewards and prizes. We may withhold or report amounts where legally required.

7. Raffle program rules

Each route is a separate program with its own allocation, entry method, ticket population, schedule, and single prize. Current published program parameters are:

A participant must hold a valid ticket, reach the accepted-share target recorded for the account's measured speed band, and have at least 3,600 seconds of recorded mining-session time in that program's round. The target is 300 shares at 5 kH/s or below, 600 shares above 5 through 12 kH/s, and 1,000 shares above 12 kH/s. Tickets are unique seven-digit identifiers. Mining work, including Weekly work on ports 3334 and 3335, advances the account's raw accepted-share counter only after upstream acceptance. Each completed target creates one ticket after the time minimum is met, and unused shares carry toward the next ticket within the round. Accepted difficulty separately weights mining-reward accounting.

The speed-band targets are automatic and cannot be manually selected by an administrator. Existing ticket history remains valid. A manual ticket may be issued only as a logged correction or authorised promotion under rules published for the affected round; it does not remove the accepted-share or mining-time eligibility minimum. When a prize is granted, the single configured prize is credited to the winner's available balance once, the completed and interim ticket populations are archived, the reset is recorded, and the replacement round starts every participant at zero.

Accounts measured above 12 kH/s receive a relative 10% reduction from the published raffle allocation while they qualify: Weekly becomes 0.9%, Standard becomes 18%, MAX becomes 36%, and promotional All-In becomes 54%. All-In's promotional published rate is 60%, usually 70%, and its one prize is 2.00 XMR = $721 USD. The dashboard shows the rate applied to new work. Historic accepted work retains the rate recorded when it was accepted.

The 30-day Daily Check-In permits one claim per Johannesburg calendar day and pauses, rather than resets, after a missed day. Its five-day bands award 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 13 normal Weekly entries per claim for a total of 200 normal entries. Days 10 and 20 each award 10 additional unique seven-digit Golden entries. Day 30 starts a 24-hour 0% Weekly raffle-allocation window for work accepted during that exact interval. The waiver is prospective, applies only to Weekly ports, and does not remove the account's speed-band share target, one-hour, or other eligibility rules.

LoveMedia Foundation NPC is the recorded prize-fund manager. The operator's independent audit process selects a winner at random from the final eligible population after cutoff, and the authorised result is entered into the platform with an audit reference. The application does not perform the random selection. Public results mask wallet addresses; the winner is contacted using the registered email address.

No winner will be required to pay an additional amount to claim a valid prize. Once a lawful result is determined, the winner's right to the prize is not subject to an undisclosed condition. A winner may be asked only for verification reasonably required by law, the published rules, or secure delivery. If a program cannot lawfully operate in a territory, it is unavailable there. We may suspend a round before its closing time for legal or integrity reasons and will publish the treatment of affected entries and allocations.

8. Acceptable use

You must not use malware, compromised equipment, stolen electricity, unauthorised cloud or rental accounts, denial-of-service traffic, protocol abuse, false identities, automated account creation, ticket manipulation, duplicate-share replay, exploitation of defects, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or any unlawful source of mining power or funds. You must not probe private systems or interfere with another participant.

We may reject invalid work, rate-limit requests, block abusive network addresses, preserve evidence, and report suspected unlawful conduct. Security researchers should stop testing before accessing personal data or impairing service and report the issue through support.

9. Availability, changes, and risk

Mining software, networks, upstream services, internet routes, power, protocol rules, and Monero itself may fail or change. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, a particular hashrate, share rate, block rate, exchange value, or profitability. Scheduled and emergency maintenance may disconnect miners.

We may modify the service and these Terms prospectively. Material changes affecting fees, allocations, eligibility, privacy, or dispute rights will be published before they take effect and, where required, presented for renewed acceptance. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law.

10. Warranties and liability

The service is supplied with reasonable care and skill but otherwise on an "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties that cannot reasonably apply to a probabilistic mining service. We are not liable for market-price movement, expected-profit loss, third-party miner defects, an incorrect wallet supplied by you, loss of wallet keys, unlawful mining equipment use, network congestion, or services outside our control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that South African consumer law or another applicable law does not permit us to exclude, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or gross negligence where exclusion is prohibited. Any limitation is subject to your non-waivable statutory rights.

11. Complaints, governing law, and disputes

Submit a complaint through Support with the affected account, approximate timestamp, route, and transaction or ticket reference. Do not submit wallet secrets. We will investigate ledger and technical records and may request reasonable verification.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Subject to any mandatory consumer forum or regulator jurisdiction, the courts of South Africa have jurisdiction. Before litigation, the parties should attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through written support correspondence.

12. General

If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it is limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may transfer this agreement as part of a lawful restructuring or service transfer with appropriate notice and data protection; you may not transfer an account or ticket without written approval.

These Terms, the referenced policies, and program-specific rules are the entire public agreement for the service. Program-specific rules control only for that program; these Terms control otherwise. Contact us through the support form.
