How do I connect my ASIC miner to the pool?

Connecting your miner to BlockHunter.org is intentionally simple and follows the standard Stratum V1 format used across the industry. All you need to do is enter the pool’s Stratum endpoint and use your Bitcoin address as the worker name. No accounts, no registrations, and no special software are required.

Most ASIC dashboards (Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan, etc.) allow you to configure a pool in under a minute. Once the settings are saved, your miner will begin submitting shares and appear on the BlockHunter.org dashboard under your payout address.

You can choose either Pool URL 1 or Pool URL 2. Both point to the same backend infrastructure, and miners typically configure both for redundancy

Pool URL 1: stratum+tcp://stratum1.blockhunter.org:3333
Pool URL 2: stratum+tcp://stratum1.blockhunter.org:3334
Worker / Wallet Address / User: <-your-bitcoin-receive-address->
Password: x

Once saved, your miner will begin submitting shares and will appear on the BlockHunter.org dashboard under your payout address. This setup works for solo miners, lottery miners, and NerdMiner devices as long as they support Stratum V1.

Which ASIC miners are supported?

BlockHunter.org supports any device capable of speaking the Stratum V1 protocol, making the pool accessible to a wide range of miners — from industrial ASICs to experimental micro‑miners. This includes:

• Solo miners running high‑performance ASICs from Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan, and other major manufacturers. These devices connect directly using standard Stratum settings and deliver the highest probability of discovering blocks.
• Lottery miners, who operate smaller or older ASICs with the goal of occasionally “taking a shot” at finding a block. The pool infrastructure treats these devices exactly the same as large rigs, ensuring fair and transparent participation regardless of hashrate.
• NerdMiners and other micro‑miners, which are low‑power, hobbyist‑friendly devices designed for educational or experimental solo mining. As long as they support Stratum V1, they can connect and participate fully. These devices are popular among enthusiasts who enjoy the technical challenge and the thrill of extremely low‑probability block hunting.

Because BlockHunter.org uses standard Stratum V1 endpoints, no custom firmware or proprietary software is required. Whether you’re running a single NerdMiner on your desk or a warehouse of high‑end ASICs, the connection process is identical and fully supported.

Can I use multiple miners with the same payout address?

Yes. You can connect as many miners as you want using the same Bitcoin address. The pool will automatically aggregate their hashrate and display combined statistics on the dashboard. This makes it easy to manage multiple devices without creating separate configurations or tracking multiple identifiers.

Is this real solo mining?

Yes. BlockHunter.org provides true solo mining, meaning every share your ASIC submits is working toward your chance of finding a block. The pool does not combine your work with other miners or distribute rewards proportionally. Instead, you mine independently while benefiting from the pool’s global infrastructure, uptime, monitoring, and reliability. This gives you the purity of solo mining with the stability of a professionally managed backend.

Do I need an account or login?

No account is required. BlockHunter.org is designed to be as simple and privacy‑preserving as possible. Your Bitcoin address acts as your identifier, allowing you to connect instantly without creating usernames, passwords, or sharing personal information. This approach keeps the mining process lightweight, secure, and accessible for both hobbyists and large‑scale operators.

What happens if I find a block?

When your miner discovers a valid block, the pool broadcasts it to the Bitcoin network and the block is attributed to your payout address. The system automatically handles the submission, confirmation, and payout process. Everything is transparent, auditable, and visible on-chain, ensuring you always maintain full control over your mining outcomes.

How do I monitor my miner’s performance?

You can view your miner’s hashrate, share submissions, and block‑finding progress directly through the pool’s dashboard using your Bitcoin address. No login is needed. The interface provides real‑time statistics, historical charts, and clear indicators of miner health, making it easy to track performance from anywhere.

Is there a minimum hashrate required to join?

There is no minimum hashrate requirement. BlockHunter.org is designed to support both small independent miners and large industrial operations. Solo mining is inherently probabilistic, so higher hashrate increases your chances of finding a block sooner, but the pool itself places no restrictions on participation.

How reliable is the pool infrastructure?

The backend is built with high‑availability architecture, redundant servers, and geographically distributed endpoints. This ensures stable uptime, low latency, and consistent share acceptance. The infrastructure is engineered to handle everything from small bursts of traffic to sustained high‑volume mining operations without interruption.

What information does the pool store about me?

BlockHunter.org is intentionally designed to minimize data collection. Since no accounts are required, the pool does not store personal information. Only essential operational data — such as share submissions, miner statistics, and payout transactions — is recorded. Your Bitcoin address is the only identifier used, keeping the system simple and privacy‑focused.
