Bitcoin (BTC) solo mining pool for Bitaxe
Solo mine Bitcoin with your Bitaxe or home miner – when you find a block, the whole reward goes straight to your own BTC address, inside the block.
Everyone, 2% fee. Our node is online and synced.
How to mine Bitcoin
- Sign up free with your Bitcoin address – that's your username.
- On your dashboard, add your BTC address (no wallet? we can make you one).
- Point your miner at
stratum+tcp://stratum.shears.co.uk:3402 - 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.
