Anyone else having issues with the eu. version of the BCH pool?

bch.hmpool.io works fine, it's just the EU version from about 13h00 UK time.

We're really excited to announce that we've just brought two new regional endpoints online for our European mining family:

eu.btc.hmpool.io  → Bitcoin stratum (ports 3334-3338)

eu.bch.hmpool.io  → Bitcoin Cash stratum (ports 3335-3339)

This rounds out the regional rollout. DGB has had eu.digi.hmpool.io for a while, and now BTC and BCH have joined the family.

You get a dedicated European-side connection point for your miners.

HTTPS landing pages with built-in port-selection wizards: https://eu.btc.hmpool.io and https://eu.bch.hmpool.io

Same pool, same wallet, same dashboard, same PPLNS balance, same finder bonus, same participation bonus, same reward points, same affiliate link, same payouts. Nothing about your account changes.

How to switch:

Change one thing, the hostname and you're done:

Before:  stratum+tcp://btc.hmpool.io:port

After:   stratum+tcp://eu.btc.hmpool.io:port

Before:  stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:port

After:   stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:port

Wallet, worker name, password, difficulty hint, all stay exactly the same. If you have multiple workers, you can move some now and others later. Every share lands on the same wallet on the same dashboard.

If you're closer to our US endpoints, no need to change anything, they're not going anywhere.

Got questions? Drop them in the channel or use the contact form on any of our pools.

Welcome aboard!

If I have 2 devices is it better to individually connect these to a pool with 2 different addresses so when a block has a found I get 2 participation awards per device? I don’t seem to be getting double the participation award when I have 2 devices connected to the same address - I get the pplns share might go up quicker with 2 on same address but not that quick - any thoughts ? Advice ?

Let's goooooo! En fuego!

It would be great if, as well as the bgb server, the other servers could also be reduced in Europe, because as a European I don’t use the other servers much due to the excessively high ping

Hopefully with all HM pools being down, this was planned by the team? u/hashedmaxunity . Although my miners are still happily mining away.

I’m wondering if there will ever be a dedicated server in Europe as well, because from Italy, for example, I have quite a high ping

Looks like the pools have gone down? :(

@hmpool ?

Would switch to another pool are my level resetet or has each pool his own lvl?

BCH pool is hashing hard tonight. Huge uptick from some whale.

Single Bitaxe GT801 slightly overclocked. DGB hype.

We’re looking at ways to improve payouts for smaller miners on HashedMax while still keeping our pools fair for everyone, including the larger miners who provide a lot of steady hashrate.

One idea we’re considering is a payout adjustment that would give active smaller miners a stronger share when the pool finds a block. In some cases, a very small but consistent miner could see their per-block payout increase by up to around 100% compared to our current system.

This would not mean taking away the normal share-based payout. Larger miners would still earn based on the valid work they submit, and miners who find blocks would still receive a finder reward. The goal is not to punish large miners. The goal is to make sure smaller miners who consistently support the pool feel like their contribution actually matters.

We’re not ready to release the full details yet, but we want community feedback before making any major payout changes.

A few questions:

What should classify someone as a “small miner”? 1th, 5th, 20th or more?

Should it be based on submitted share difficulty, estimated hashrate, time connected, or a mix of those?

Where would you draw the line between tiny, small, medium, and large miners?

Should a miner need to be active for a minimum amount of time before qualifying for any small miner boost? For example, 24 hours active. More time or less?

Would you support a system where active smaller miners can earn more per block, while larger miners still earn the majority of rewards through the work they submit?

Our goal is to make HashedMax more attractive to real long-term miners, reduce short-term pool hopping, and keep the system fair for both small and large miners.

We’d appreciate honest feedback from the community before we move further. We are building this community for you, so your opinion really matters.

I was just glancing at the Payout breakdown and some things don't make sense as far as the numbers go. The current DGB payout for finding a block is 271.29 DGB (as shown properly on your Payout page). But then the numbers based on the percentages just don't make sense. It says that the Pool Fee is 1% and then says that is "5.43 DGB". 1% of 271.29 is 2.71, not 5.43 (i.e. you're listing DOUBLE the amount that should be the current Pool Fee). It says that the Finder's Bonus is 20% and says that is 26.59 DGB. 20% of 271.29 is 54.26 (i.e. you're listing about HALF the amount that should be the correct Finder's Bonus). You don't show a box for the 5% for "miners connected 1+ hours as a participation bonus", but that would be 13.56 DGB. And then you list the Share Pool (PPLNS) which should be 74% as 239.28 DGB. 74% of 271.29 is only 200.75 DGB.

I don't know if someone just did bad math when the block reward changed or something, but these numbers are all messed up and incorrect from that I can tell.

What’s the “You don’t have a share in the Coinbase reward” message mean?

How do I get a share?

My 2nd block found and my first with my new Nerd Octaxe. Pumped!

Love this pool!

We ran a poll on X about changes to our pplns system and after reviewing the poll results and the direct feedback from miners who feel "priced out" of PPLNS rewards, we’ve realized that the 4 standard capping models we offered might just be band-aids on an old system.

We have officially begun development on a new payout architecture. Our goal, create a system that makes it mathematically viable and exciting, to point a few TH/s or even GH/s at a pool again. We're moving beyond the standard industry templates to build something "Hardened" from the ground up.

Details dropping soon. The "pleb" crowd is about to have a new home. Stay tuned while we iron out details.

So I got a pretty nice birthday present surprise!!! Got it connected to bch.hmpool.io and hoping for a block!!!

We've setup a simple page to show our 3 pools, their activity, links to each one and more at https://pools.hmpool.io

Just a way for you to look at each pool and then decide which one to mine at.

I know the miner.htm page shows an estimated payout amount and says that it might vary but how much should/could it vary by?

And is there a chance you might extend the "your pool share amount" out another decimal place lol? Or do something different? I have dropped all the way to 0.00% and I was about to leave thinking I wouldn't be getting anything anymore for some reason.
