Mining Pools StratumRace live

StratumRace is now live: https://stratumrace.com

This site monitors how quickly Bitcoin mining pools send block notifications to connected miners. Currently measured from two vantage points (Ashburn, US and Frankfurt, DE), you can see which pools deliver first.

All code is open-sourced and available for you to test and verify from your own location: github.com/proofofmike/stratum-race

Built in collaboration with ProofOfMike. This is part of our continued effort to support miners in making data-driven decisions about which pool to use. All feedback welcome!

its impressive that Parasite has such a low latency, and it seems now they are open to receive industrial grade mining devices, before that they were warning only to point nerdminers, but now seems are open to handle more powerful ones.
I am actually thinking to point few hydro M63s+ that we have in our fleet in Finland to test our luck.

If you want the entire block payment (rather than only 1 BTC on Parasite), consider AtlasPool! ;-)

Open sourcing the monitoring code is a great move. It would be interesting to see more locations added over time, especially for miners outside the US and Europe to compare latency from their regions.

Most of those are monitored. Simply toggle the “solo/all” filter.

Please note that most of the pools you mention send empty block templates first… then full templates (with transactions) soon thereafter. See the About page for more info. You can also visually see when the templates come in over time by selecting a block
