How to Activate Your Free 2-Day Mining Trial on NoxHash
Activate your free 2-day Bitcoin mining trial on NoxHash in under a minute. Step-by-step guide: where to find it, how earnings work, what to do after.
The NoxHash free trial gives every verified account 48 hours on a real Basic Miner (50 TH/s) at zero cost. You activate it from the Marketplace with one click — no deposit, no card, no KYC. Trial hashrate is genuine, routed to our Kazakhstan data center, so you see real performance before renting a paid plan.
What the Free Trial Actually Includes
The NoxHash free trial is not a simulation or a demo. When you click activate, we provision a real Basic Miner slot in our Kazakhstan data center and start mining BTC under your account. The numbers on your dashboard come from the same pool, same hardware, and same accrual engine that paid users see.
50 TH/s of SHA-256
The same Basic Miner tier paid users rent for $20/month — 50 TH/s hashrate, SHA-256, 1,200W class ASIC hardware.
48 hours, to the minute
Activation starts an exact two-day clock. When it runs out, the miner status flips to Expired — no overage, no surprise charges.
Full desktop access
Open View Desktop on your trial miner to see the live Windows Server session and CGMiner terminal — the same transparency paid users get.
There is one boundary worth understanding up front: trial earnings are display-only. The dashboard shows the BTC your 50 TH/s accrues in real time, but that amount does not credit your withdrawable balance. The trial is an experience and a proof-of-hashrate — not a way to mine free crypto to cash out.
Before You Click Activate — 3 Prerequisites
The activation button only appears once three conditions are met. Check these in order and the trial takes less than a minute from start to running miner.
- A NoxHash account — signup is free and takes under two minutes with Google or email. No card or ID required.
- A verified email — NoxHash requires email verification for marketplace actions. Google sign-ins are auto-verified; email sign-ups need to click the confirmation link we send.
- No previous trial on this account — each account is limited to one trial ever. The button simply won't render on the Basic Miner card if you've already used yours.
Activate the Trial in 4 Steps
Once you're signed in with a verified email, the whole activation flow is one screen and one click. Here is what happens at each step so nothing surprises you.
Open the Marketplace
From the signed-in dashboard, click Marketplace in the top navigation. You'll see a grid of four mining tiers — Basic, Standard, Pro, and Enterprise — along with a rental-duration selector and a live BTC price.
Find the Basic Miner card
The trial is only attached to the lowest tier — Basic Miner (50 TH/s, $20/month). The card displays the hashrate, power draw, and a green Try Free for 2 Days button directly beneath the price. If you don't see the button, one of the prerequisites above isn't met.
Click "Try Free for 2 Days"
The button triggers a single request that provisions your trial miner. The label changes to Processing… for a second or two while NoxHash creates a new machine record labelled "Basic Miner (Trial)", sets the status to Running, and starts the 48-hour clock on its expires_at timestamp.
Land on the Machines page
NoxHash redirects you to My Machines, where your trial miner appears with a live status badge and a countdown to expiry. You'll also receive an in-app notification confirming the trial has started. Within roughly 60 seconds, the accrual engine's next tick will begin recording BTC earnings.
Trial Miner vs Paid Miner — Exactly What's Different
The trial is a real Basic Miner with one practical boundary. The comparison below shows every concrete difference between the trial and the $20/month paid plan — nothing else changes.
| Factor | Free trial | Paid Basic Miner |
|---|---|---|
| Hashrate | 50 TH/s (identical) | 50 TH/s |
| Duration | 48 hours (fixed) | 1 to 24 months |
| Cost | $0 — no deposit | From $20/month (discounts up to 20% for 24-month terms) |
| Dashboard earnings | Display only (not credited) | Credited to BTC wallet every minute |
| Withdrawable BTC | Not withdrawable | Withdrawable (1.5% fee, min 0.00001 BTC) |
| Mining desktop | Full access | Full access |
| Limit per account | Once, ever | Unlimited concurrent rentals |
The takeaway: if you want to see how cloud mining looks and feels, the trial is a perfect fit. If you want to actually earn BTC you can withdraw, you need a paid plan — the trial is the free tasting menu, not the meal.

The Basic Miner card in your Marketplace already has the green trial button waiting for you. Sign in, click it, and the 48-hour clock starts ticking.
5 Things Worth Doing Before the 48 Hours Run Out
A trial that expires with you never opening it is a wasted opportunity. Here are the five checks that turn the 48 hours into a real decision about whether cloud mining is for you.
Watch the accrual in real time
Open your dashboard and refresh every few minutes on day one. BTC rewards accrue every minute — you'll see the Total BTC Mined counter tick upward so you can judge the rhythm.
Open the mining desktop
Click View Desktop on your trial machine. You'll drop into the live Windows Server session and see the real CGMiner terminal scrolling — a genuine "this is my machine" moment that rules out simulation.
Test Start and Stop
Use the Start/Stop buttons on the machine card. Stopping pauses accrual; starting resumes it within a minute. Useful to know before you rent a paid miner and want to pause it.
Enable 2FA while you wait
The trial buys you 48 free hours to harden the account. Open Profile → Security, scan the QR in Google Authenticator or Authy, save the 8 recovery codes, and you're ready for a paid plan.
What Happens When the 48 Hours Expire
The trial ends cleanly — nothing auto-renews, nothing gets charged. Here is the precise sequence so you know what to expect the moment your countdown hits zero.
- Status flips to Expired. The trial miner card turns amber and stops accruing BTC. It remains on your My Machines page as a record.
- No charges, ever. Because no payment method is attached to the trial, there is literally nothing to bill. Your $0 balance stays $0.
- Dashboard BTC figures freeze. Any BTC the trial displayed stops growing and is never credited to your withdrawable wallet — that boundary is unchanged at expiry.
- The trial button disappears. The Basic Miner card in the Marketplace no longer shows the green trial button for your account, since the one-per-account limit has been used.
- You can rent any tier, any time. The paid marketplace is fully open. Pick Basic, Standard, Pro, or Enterprise, choose a rental term, and deposit USDT (minimum $10, via TRC-20 or BEP-20) when you're ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NoxHash free trial really free — no hidden fees?
Yes. The trial requires no deposit, no card, and no KYC. You cannot be charged because no payment method is attached to your account during a trial. When the 48 hours end, the miner simply expires — nothing auto-renews, nothing is billed.
Why can't I withdraw the BTC shown during my trial?
Trial earnings are display-only. They let you see how accrual works in real time, but they don't credit your withdrawable BTC wallet. This is how NoxHash offers the trial at zero cost — only paid rentals produce withdrawable BTC, which keeps the free experience sustainable.
Can I extend the 2-day trial or get a second one?
No — each account gets exactly one 48-hour trial, and the clock cannot be paused or extended. Creating duplicate accounts to claim multiple trials risks suspension. If you need more time to evaluate, a 1-month Basic Miner rental costs $20 and earnings are withdrawable.
Why don't I see the "Try Free for 2 Days" button on the Basic Miner card?
The button only renders when three conditions hold: you are signed in, your email is verified, and you have never used a trial on this account. If one is missing, the button is hidden. Verify your email from the confirmation message, or check My Machines for an existing trial entry.
Is the trial hashrate real or simulated?
Real. The trial provisions a 50 TH/s slot on the same Antminer fleet running for paid users in our Kazakhstan data center. You can open View Desktop to watch the live CGMiner terminal scroll its hash output — the strongest transparency signal any cloud miner can offer.
Can I upgrade directly from the trial to a paid plan?
Yes, anytime. Your trial miner and any paid miners run side by side — trial earnings stay display-only, paid earnings credit your wallet. Deposit USDT, pick a tier and rental term on the Marketplace, and your paid miner starts mining as soon as the order is confirmed.
Not financial advice
The free trial is a zero-cost experience, but any decision to rent a paid miner afterwards is an investment in a volatile asset. Bitcoin earnings depend on BTC price, network difficulty, and market conditions, all of which can change quickly. Past results do not guarantee future performance. Only commit funds you can afford to lose, and consider a local tax advisor for questions about crypto earnings in your country.
