Wallet setup that survives staff turnover
Mining proceeds often sit in addresses only one person understands. A durable setup separates roles and writes the ritual down.
Treat the receive address used by the pool as a labeled inbox, not as long-term savings. Sweep on a schedule into a wallet whose seed is protected by dual control — two people, two sealed backups, one shared checklist.
Assign roles before devices
Name who may view balances, who may initiate a withdrawal, and who must countersign. Put those names on paper in the site binder. When a shift lead leaves, you update the roster instead of rebuilding the entire wallet story from memory.
Practice the backup once
During setup, restore from backup onto a spare device in a controlled exercise, then wipe that spare. Operators who skip the practice often discover damaged cards only when stress is already high.
Label ruthlessly
Every address in the pool dashboard should match a label in your notebook: coin, purpose, and date created. Ambiguous names like “main” cause expensive mistakes during payout strategy changes.
