Orestack

Based on Price gate

An optional Custom Strategy gate. Mine only when live ORE is strictly more than or less than a SOL or USD number you set — equal prices sit out.

What does it do?

Custom Strategy normally fires whenever its other rules allow. Based on Price adds a market check: before your Custom miner deploys, Orestack compares the same-round Jupiter ORE quote to your threshold.

Choose Ore price in USD or Ore price in SOL, then more than or less than. There is no “equal to” option. A live price that lands exactly on your number skips.

In plain english

“Only mine when ORE is more than $70.” With ORE at $70.16 the round mines; at exactly $70.00 both more-than and less-than skip. Or “only mine when ORE/SOL is less than 0.6000” — 0.5900 mines; 0.6100 and exactly 0.6000 skip.

Settings

Enable

Off by default. Existing Custom miners keep their current behaviour until you turn this on and save. The old Highest EV-only “Skip based on Ore price” SOL ceiling is gone — set Based on Price yourself if you still want a price gate.

Ore price unit

Ore price in USD uses cents from the Jupiter ORE USD quote. Ore price in SOL uses lamports-per-ORE from the same response (ore_usd / sol_usd). Switching the unit clears the parameter — it does not convert.

Conditional

more than mines only when live > parameter. less than mines only when live < parameter. Equal always skips.

Parameter

The number to compare against. The form shows the current price for the selected unit right after this field (for example Current: $70.16 or Current: 0.6100 SOL). Zero is rejected.

Starting recommendation

Pick a side that matches how you think about the market (sit out when expensive, or when cheap). Watch Activity for a few rounds, then tighten. Thresholds within a cent or a few lamports of spot will chatter on and off as the quote ticks.

Where to find it

Open Mining on the Mining page and select your miner.
Edit Strategy in the STRATEGY panel (or set it while creating a new miner) and choose Custom Strategy.
Scroll to the Gates group — look for Based on Price, toggle it on, set unit / conditional / parameter, then Save.

When it skips

Skips show in the miner’s Activity panel as SKIPPED with a plain-English reason, for example:

Skipped — ORE was $70.00, not more than your $70.00 USD gate

Other reasons you might see:

Live price on the wrong side of more than / less than (including exact equality)
ORE price unavailable this round — the gate fails closed (sits out) rather than deploying blind

Things to know

Custom Strategy only — Most Crowded and Highest EV. Other strategies ignore this gate. OG Sniper keeps its own max ORE price field.
Strict comparison — equal to the parameter never mines.
Crank-side only — a manual deploy that does not go through this crank ignores the gate.
Sibling of Crowded-round skip and Motherlode range — those gates still apply when enabled. See Crowded-round skip and Motherlode range.
