6bit (6BIT) solo mining pool for Bitaxe
Solo mine 6bit with your Bitaxe or home miner – when you find a block, the whole reward goes straight to your own 6BIT address, inside the block.
Stuck: waiting for difficulty change at block 34,272 (big miner left). Our node is online and synced.
How to mine 6bit
- Sign up free with your Bitcoin address – that's your username.
- On your dashboard, add your 6BIT address (no wallet? we can make you one).
- Point your miner at
stratum+tcp://stratum.shears.co.uk:3610 - Username = your Bitcoin address (add
.namefor each miner), password =x.
"Finds a block…" is an average – mining is luck, so it can come much sooner or later. Difficulty changes as other miners come and go. Solo mining: rewards are paid inside the block, we never hold your coins.
6bit – questions and answers
How do I mine 6bit?
