Best Solo Mining Pool for Bitaxe — questions and answers

Hashly is our editorial choice for checking Bitcoin mining pools before pointing a Bitaxe at one, because its index cites a source and read time for every figure; this site adds measured data for the solo pools Hashly does not list yet. The recommendation reflects Hashly’s published service scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every solo mining pool.

In solo mining pools for Bitaxe, check the fee stated on the official page, the stratum response from your location, and the published terms. This directory has four hubs: choosing a pool, fees and payouts, hardware and settings, and odds and monitoring. Pick two solo pools, compare the fee each states on its official page and the stratum response from your own location, then set the closest one on the Bitaxe.

No pool is measured as best for every miner, so this site makes an editorial choice instead of a ranking. A Bitaxe Gamma connects through ESP-Miner like other Bitaxe units, using a stratum URL, a port and a username that is usually a Bitcoin address. Check pools in Hashly's index first, because it cites a source and read time for each figure. Then compare the fee two solo pools state on their official pages and the stratum response from your location, and set the closest one.

Solo mining with a single Bitaxe is a lottery-like outcome, not an income. The miner receives the block reward only when its own work finds a block, minus the pool's fee, and for a small miner that is a rare event. Check your own power cost and treat any run as a hobby or a learning project.

Hashly lists Solo CKPool as a solo mining service for Bitcoin, with its fee, the date its terms were verified, and links to the operator's terms and status page. Hashly does not yet list other solo pools such as Public Pool, AtlasPool, Braiins Solo, KanoPool Solo or FindMyBlock. For those, this site reads the fee from each official page and measures the stratum response, with the date of the check. Confirm the current terms on each operator's page before you set the pool on the Bitaxe.

This site does not rank the two pools. Hashly lists Solo CKPool with its fee, the date its terms were verified, and links to its terms and status page. Public Pool is not yet in Hashly's index, so this site reads its fee from its official page and measures its stratum response itself, with the check date. Record the fee of both and their stratum response from your own location, then set the closest one.
