How to change your pool payout address
There are some reasons for which you might want to change the payout address for your pool rewards. Maybe you feel that the keys tied to your plots are compromised after exposing your key to third-party software like forks or plotting managers and you want to farm directly to a cold wallet. Or on the contrary, you want to send your farmer rewards directly to a third-party hot wallet on your phone. Whatever the reason is you want to change your payout address, note that it is vital that you check whether you have access to the address you input!
In this guide you learn how to change payout address by:
- using the GUI
- changing the config.yaml
After you change your payout address, make sure to check if the change is accepted by the pool in your SpaceFarmer Dashboard.
Using the GUI
In the GUI, navigate to the Pools tab and navigate to the PlotNFT that you want to change the pay-out address for. Click the three vertical dots and select “Edit Payout Instructions”. You will be presented with a field where you can enter the payout address you want your pool rewards to be sent to. Make sure that you have access to the address that you enter in this field!
Changing the config.yaml
You can also change the payout instruction through the config.yaml. Do note that you need to convert your receive address to a puzzle hash. The steps below show you how to do this:
- Convert your prefered receive address to a puzzle hash, for example with this tool: https://www.chiaexplorer.com/tools/address-puzzlehash-converter
