Hello, I am new to the pool. Can you tell me why there are several addresses in the range txt file when searching in the ttd pool?
Those extra addresses are PoW addresses...Proof of Work addresses. It is to ensure your machine checked the range it was assigned/said it checked.

So in the file you will have the target address: 13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so

And if you keep settings normal and just check 1 40-bit range at a time, you will have the target address and 1 PoW address.

If you check the max range at once, 44-bit range, you will have the target address plus 16 PoW addresses.
