Mining Guide
⚠️ Solo Mining Pool
This is a solo mining pool — no PPLNS, no PPS. Each miner mines independently.
Whoever finds the block receives the full block reward directly in the coinbase transaction, minus the pool fee. [Pool fee: 2%]
With low hashrate, you may mine for a long time without finding a block. If you want steadier payouts, use a shared BCH pool instead.
🚀 SHA-256 ASIC Quick Start
Modern SHA-256 ASICs (Antminer, Whatsminer, Bitaxe, and others) have a built-in stratum client — no software to download. Just open your miner's web interface and enter these pool settings:
Replace YOUR_ADDRESS with your Bitcoin Cash cashaddr and WORKER_NAME with any label for this miner (e.g. bitaxe, s19-01).
Worker format: bitcoincash:YOUR_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME
⚠️ Important: you must use the full bitcoincash: prefix and a worker name (e.g. bitcoincash:qq…xyz.worker). Both are required — addresses without the prefix or without a worker suffix will not be accepted.
⚙️ SHA-256 Notes
Use SHA-256-compatible ASICs or hosted hashpower. Configure a backup pool in your miner firmware if you want automatic failover.
🟢 NiceHash SHA-256
NiceHash is fully compatible with this pool and is the recommended way to rent hashpower. Use algorithm SHA256AsicBoost, set the host and port shown below, and pass your BCH address as the username.
Enter these values in the NiceHash order form:
Use your BCH cashaddr followed by .workername — for example bitcoincash:qq...xyz.rig1
Any value works, x is conventional
⚠️ Important: you must use the full bitcoincash: prefix and a worker name (e.g. bitcoincash:qq…xyz.worker). Both are required — addresses without the prefix or without a worker suffix will not be accepted.
⚠️ MiningRigRentals (MRR)
MiningRigRentals is compatible with this pool. However, be aware that some rigs listed on MRR may actually be NiceHash resellers — you may be paying a markup over NiceHash prices. We recommend verifying the rig source when possible, or using NiceHash directly for a better price.
🔒 Hashpower Rental
A hashpower rental experience is coming to ownblock.io — rent SHA-256 power and point it directly at this pool.

Solo mining offers the full reward but also full variance. If you prefer smoother income, use a shared BCH pool with PPS or PPLNS payouts.
