Linux joins the pool-mode lineup. All four platforms — Mac, Android, Windows, Linux — now support connecting to the official pool at https://glaciem-pool.frostmine.workers.dev (or any compatible pool) directly from Settings.

New in the Linux app

  • MINING MODE — POOL toggle in the Settings dialog
  • Pool URL field (appears when the toggle is on; default: official pool, editable for any other)
  • Persisted via QSettings (~/.config/Glaciem/GlaciemMiner.conf)
  • No restart required — the next mining iteration (~1s) picks up the change

What changes when pool mode is ON

SOLO (default) POOL (new)
Templates from daemon get_block_template POST /pool/job
Hash target network difficulty (rare wins) share difficulty (frequent shares)
Block submission direct to daemon via pool's /pool/submit
Block reward 100% to you when you find one proportional to your share contribution

Compat

  • Existing wallets, balance, addresses, mining history all carry forward — just replace the .AppImage, chmod +x, run.
  • Self-contained x86_64 AppImage — runs on any modern Linux distro without dependency hunting.
  • Built via the existing pow/app_linux/build.sh + rebuild-appimage.sh pipeline on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

All-four-platforms milestone

This is the last platform that needed the v1.1.6+ pool changes. The full lineup now matches:

Mac      v1.1.6+   pool mode
Android  v1.1.6+   pool mode
Windows  v1.1.7+   pool mode
Linux    v1.1.8+   pool mode  ← this release
