How to Connect Your ASIC to SoloMineLab

Q: Do I need to add .workername after my wallet address?

No, the .workername suffix is optional, though adding a label such as .bitaxe01 or .asic01 lets you track each device separately on your wallet telemetry dashboard.

SoloMineLab operates non-custodial Stratum V1 solo mining pools for Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), and Dogecoin (DOGE), plus simultaneous LTC+DOGE AuxPoW merged mining. No registration is required: connect standard ASIC firmware, Bitaxe/AxeOS, NiceHash, or Mining Rig Rentals directly to our live Stratum endpoints and monitor verified worker telemetry in real time.

Non-Custodial Direct Coinbase Payouts (98.5% Miner / 1.5% Operator)

Block rewards never pass through a pool treasury: output 0 (98.5%) is encoded directly to your validated payout address and output 1 (1.5%) to the pool operator inside the block coinbase transaction (subject to network fees and protocol maturity). Zero share fees, zero accounts, and zero minimum thresholds. Read how non-custodial coinbase payouts work →

Live Stratum Endpoints & Username Format

Enter your own non-custodial payout address as the Stratum username. You may append .workername (for example .bitaxe01 or .s19) to separate individual machines in the live miner dashboard. Check live port status on each coin dashboard before renting hashpower or pointing production hardware.

Blockchain / Mode	Stratum Endpoint	Username example	Password	Algorithm
Bitcoin Solo	`stratum+tcp://btc.solominelab.com:3333`	`YOUR_BTC_WALLET.bitaxe01`	`x`	SHA-256d
Bitcoin Cash Solo	`stratum+tcp://bch.solominelab.com:3334`	`bitcoincash:YOUR_CASHADDR.bitaxe01`	`x`	SHA-256d
Litecoin Solo	`stratum+tcp://ltc.solominelab.com:3335`	`YOUR_LTC_WALLET.scrypt01`	`x`	Scrypt
LTC+DOGE Merged	`stratum+tcp://ltc.solominelab.com:3336`	`YOUR_LTC_WALLET.scrypt01`	`doge=YOUR_DOGE_WALLET`	Scrypt + AuxPoW
Dogecoin Solo	`stratum+tcp://doge.solominelab.com:3337`	`YOUR_DOGE_WALLET.scrypt01`	`x`	Scrypt + AuxPoW

Address validation rule: Plain worker labels without a valid coin wallet (such as rig01 alone) are rejected by Stratum authorization. Always verify wallet network and checksum—for Bitcoin Cash, include the bitcoincash: CashAddr prefix.

How to Connect a Bitaxe (AxeOS) for BTC or BCH Solo Mining

Open-source home SHA-256 miners such as Bitaxe Ultra, Supra, Gamma, and NerdAxe devices connect natively via Stratum V1 in AxeOS → Settings → Pool Settings—no extra mining proxy or account creation is needed:

Bitcoin (BTC) on Bitaxe:

Stratum Host / URL: btc.solominelab.com (AxeOS adds the Stratum scheme automatically; omit stratum+tcp:// if your firmware asks for host only)
Stratum Port: 3333
Stratum User: bc1qYOUR_BITCOIN_ADDRESS.bitaxe01 (SegWit bc1q, Taproot bc1p, or legacy address you control)
Stratum Password: x

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) on Bitaxe: Point Host to bch.solominelab.com, Port 3334, User bitcoincash:YOUR_CASHADDR.bitaxe01, and Password x. Use the interactive BTC Setup Assistant or BCH Setup Assistant to copy verified configuration strings and estimate expected block times. Comparing devices? Browse verified Bitaxe, NerdQaxe, NerdOctaxe, and Avalon Nano models in our Bitcoin Solo Hardware Catalog.

Compatible Software & Hashpower Marketplaces

SoloMineLab runs server-side Stratum endpoints; you do not download proprietary pool software. Configure standard built-in firmware or Stratum V1 clients:

SHA-256 hardware (BTC / BCH): AxeOS (Bitaxe/NerdAxe), Antminer (S19, S21), Whatsminer (M30, M50), Avalon, CGMiner/BMMiner, NiceHash, and Mining Rig Rentals.
Scrypt hardware (LTC / DOGE / Merged): Antminer L7/L9/L3+, ElphaPex, Goldshell, FutureBit Apollo, NiceHash (solo ports), and Mining Rig Rentals (full solo and AuxPoW support). See the complete Scrypt & LTC+DOGE Merged Mining Guide.

Understanding Stale Shares, Best Share & Solo Probability

Best Share: Tracks the highest mathematical share difficulty achieved by your wallet since connecting. Finding a block occurs when a submitted share exceeds the live network difficulty target.
Stale Shares: Shares submitted right after a new blockchain block has been mined globally, making that work template obsolete. Keeping low network latency and clean connections helps minimize stale rates.
Personal Effort & Probability: Expected average time to find a block equals (Network Difficulty × 2^32) ÷ Hashrate (H/s). Because mining follows a memoryless Poisson process, every hash has the same independent chance regardless of past shares. Test your exact hashrate live in the Solo Block Time Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a SoloMineLab account to start solo mining?

No registration or account is needed. Point your ASIC or Bitaxe to the Stratum URL using your own valid payout wallet address as the Stratum username.

Do I need to add .workername after my wallet address?

No, the .workername suffix is optional, though adding a label such as .bitaxe01 or .asic01 lets you track each device separately on your wallet telemetry dashboard.

When does the 1.5% pool operator fee apply?

No fee is charged on submitted shares. The 1.5% fee applies only when a valid network block is found, assigning 98.5% of the block coinbase reward directly to your payout wallet.

What are stale shares and Best Share in solo mining?

A stale share arrives slightly after the network moves to a new block height and no longer qualifies for the current block template. Best Share records the highest share difficulty your hardware has submitted toward finding a block.

Does Dogecoin mining use the same payout address as Litecoin?

No. Litecoin and Dogecoin run on independent blockchains and require separate receiving wallets. For dual-reward LTC+DOGE merged mining on port 3336, enter both addresses.
