# Keep or Transfer Coins after mining reward?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-15)

I've been mining ZEC (pool) for the past month and noticed that most of the other people in the pool never had any balance on their wallets if I viewed them on the [zcash blockexplorer](https://zcash.blockexplorer.com/).

Is there a reason why people immediately transfer their coins to a different wallet?
