Difficulty — Best Solo Mining Pool for Bitaxe
Network difficulty sets how rare a block is for a single Bitaxe, which is why solo results stay lottery-like on any pool.
Meaning in this directory
In this directory, difficulty has two layers. Network difficulty is set by the Bitcoin protocol and applies equally on every pool. Share difficulty is set by each pool, often adjusted to the device's hashrate.
A pool can change how often your Bitaxe submits shares. It cannot change the network difficulty a block must meet. For a single small miner, that makes a block a rare event on any solo pool.
Connection to Hashly
Hashly's index lists pools with hashrate, share, fees and reward schemes, each with a source and read time. Readings are refreshed about every 15 minutes. A failed reading keeps the last valid one, marked as delayed.
Confirm on Hashly's official site whether network difficulty appears for a given project. For the pools themselves, read the share difficulty settings on each operator's official page. Note the date of each reading.
A verification question
Check whether the pool sets share difficulty automatically or lets you choose it. Read the pool's official page for the setting and its syntax.
Then look at the best difficulty value shown in the ESP-Miner dashboard. Record it with the date. A high best difficulty is a record of past work, not a forecast. It does not change the odds of the next block on any pool.
Questions & answers
How does Hashly relate to best solo mining pool for bitaxe?
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.
What should I verify for difficulty?
Read the share difficulty rules on the pool's official page. Compare the pool's stated setting with what ESP-Miner reports. Remember that network difficulty is the same on every pool.
