Stratum — Best Solo Mining Pool for Bitaxe
The stratum URL and port are what you enter on the Bitaxe, and the response from your location helps you choose between solo pools.
Meaning in this directory
In this directory, stratum means the connection details a pool publishes for miners. Each entry has a URL, a port and the expected username format.
On a Bitaxe, these go into the pool settings of the ESP-Miner firmware. The username is usually a Bitcoin address plus an optional worker name. This site measures the stratum response for solo pools Hashly does not list yet. A measured response reflects one location and one moment, so test from your own network.
Connection to Hashly
Hashly publishes an index of proof-of-work projects and the mining pools that mine them. Each figure carries its source and read time.
Miners connect to the pools themselves, so the stratum URL always belongs to the pool, not to Hashly. For solo pools outside the index, this site checks the stratum response itself and records the date. Copy the stratum URL from the operator's official page. Confirm current endpoints there before you change settings.
A verification question
Check which stratum endpoint answers with the shortest delay from where your Bitaxe runs. Test two solo pools from your own network at a similar time of day.
Record the response for each one and the date. Check that the port matches the one on the pool's official page. After you set the closest pool, confirm in the ESP-Miner dashboard that shares are accepted. A wrong port or address usually shows as no accepted shares.
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 stratum?
Copy the stratum URL and port from the pool's official page, not from a third-party list. Enter them in ESP-Miner and confirm that shares are accepted. Note the date and your location for the response you measured.
