Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 10, 2026
Short version: some of the outbound links on
this site earn MiningBoard a commission when you sign up or
complete a purchase. We mark affiliate links with
rel="sponsored" in the link's
HTML. Commissions never cost you extra, and they do not
influence our ranking algorithm — prices, fees, and reliability
scores come from the same public APIs regardless of whether we
have an affiliate deal with the provider.
1. Which links are affiliate links
Outbound links to the following categories may be affiliate:
- Mining pools — e.g. K1Pool, Two Miners, F2Pool.
- GPU rental marketplaces — Clore.ai, Vast.ai, RunPod, io.net, TensorDock.
- Cryptocurrency exchanges — Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit (when operator signs us up).
- Hardware manufacturers and resellers where such programs exist.
- Banner partners — e.g. LP Agent in the rig-detail sidebar.
Any link that earns us a commission carries
rel="sponsored nofollow noopener"
on the <a> tag — a verifiable signal under
Google and FTC guidelines. You can inspect any link in your
browser's developer tools to confirm.
2. How commissions are calculated
Commission rates vary by partner — typically a fixed fee per signup, a percentage of the first deposit, or a revenue share on future activity. We don't publish per-partner rates because they change and sometimes include NDAs, but the gist is: we earn when you take an action on the partner's site after clicking our link.
3. Partner relationships and rankings
We do not upweight a partner in our rankings because of an affiliate deal. The profitability, rental-income, and coin-price numbers you see come from scraping public APIs on a schedule; the same adapter pipeline runs for every provider whether or not we have a commercial relationship. See our How it works for the data sources.
When we show multiple options for the same slot (e.g. GPU rental marketplaces for a specific rig), we sort by the metric we think miners actually care about — typically host-net daily income after platform fees — not by affiliate payout.
4. FTC + international compliance
This site is directed at an international audience. We follow the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and similar rules in the UK (ASA/CAP) and EU (Digital Services Act). If you believe a link is inadequately disclosed, please email [email protected] and we'll fix it promptly.
5. What to do with this information
Use our data as one input among several. Verify prices and reliability against the source before committing capital, and consider running a small test with any marketplace or pool before scaling up.
