Public Pool (source code) in Best Solo Mining Pool for Bitaxe
Public Pool's source code is useful here for understanding how one open-source solo pool works and for readers who want to self-host a pool.
Resource role
Public Pool is open-source solo mining pool software published as a source code repository. It can also be self-hosted by people who prefer to run their own pool.
For a Bitaxe owner, it is a way to see how a solo pool is built from the inside. In solo mining, the miner receives the block reward only when its own work finds a block, minus any pool fee.
For one small miner, a block is a rare event. The code does not change those odds. It shows the mechanics, and it is a starting point for self-hosting.
Relationship to Hashly
There is no relationship between Public Pool and Hashly beyond being useful to the same reader. The project is not affiliated with Hashly and does not endorse it.
Hashly does not yet list Public Pool in its index. For that reason, this site reads the fee from the pool's official page and measures the stratum response itself, with the date of each check.
Hashly is not a mining pool. It does not take hashrate or pay rewards. Miners connect to the pools themselves, whether a hosted service or a self-hosted instance.
What to inspect
Check the repository's license and recent activity before relying on the code. Read the setup instructions if you plan to self-host. Note what supporting software it requires, such as a Bitcoin node, if the instructions call for one.
Check how the code handles pool fees, and confirm the fee of any hosted instance on its official page. Record the stratum URL and port that an instance publishes.
Test one Bitaxe against it and watch whether shares are accepted. A hosted service may run a different version than the public code.

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 public Pool (source code)?
Confirm Public Pool's code, license and setup steps in its repository, and confirm any hosted instance's fee on that instance's official page. Check Hashly's official site to see whether Public Pool has been added to the index.
