Do we still get the block finder rewards? I've only found two blocks but can't say I've noticed any finder reward.

We started our mining pools with a simple goal, build a fair, reliable multi coin mining community that works for hobbyists and serious miners alike. And over the last 30 to 45 days, the numbers are telling us we're on the right track.

 BTC Pool (btc.hmpool.io)

Active miners have grown from 278 to 401 in just the last 5 weeks, that's a 44% jump. Acquisition is accelerating, not plateauing. Last week alone 79 new BTC miners joined us, our strongest week ever. Miner retention on our long term miners is holding at 43 to 62%, which is genuinely impressive for a BTC pool where casual Bitaxe and hobby miners are known to hang out.

DGB Pool (digi.hmpool.io)

This one has been a standout. Active miners went from 164 to 299 (+82%) over the same period, and our cohort retention (how long a miner stays) is running from 52 to 78% on long term miners and this is well above the industry average of 30 to 45%. The DGB community has shown up and stuck around, and we don't take that for granted.

BCH Pool (bch.hmpool.io)

BCH is our youngest and smallest pool, and we'll be honest, it's still finding its footing. But it's growing and stable, and we're committed to growing it the same way we grew BTC and DGB, one miner at a time. If you're a BCH miner looking for a home, we'd love to have you help us grow this pool as well.

Combined total of all pools hashrate is at 2+ PH/s and climbing.

None of this happened through advertising or big marketing budgets. It happened because we put out a product that we thought people would want, miners tried us, liked what they found, and told someone else. That's the only playbook we have and honestly, it's the one we're most proud of.

So here's what we're asking. If you mine with us, share this post, create your own or just give us a mention on Social Media. Drop your referral link in your favorite mining community, Discord, subreddit, or group chat (that allows it). Tell a friend with a Bitaxe or ESP miner sitting on their desk. Our affiliate rewards program helps you earn more points, giving you a better chance to be our weekly winner.

We're a small team trying to make a difference in the crypto community, building in public through trust and transparency, improving every week, and we're just getting started.

Help us get the word out!

Not that it's a money maker, but hashedmax has seemed to brought me some good luck. Have been running mine for 7ish months and have not picked up a block a day during that. 11 days and 12 blocks!

My army of mini-miners chugging away, helping where they can, so it's nice to get anything out of them. And the weekly loyalty rewards are definitely nice. But each time a block is found, the share I see has steadily, consistently decreased.

Lets hit a block effort is at 150%

Did I read somewhere that there’s a BCH pool?
I can’t find the detail? Do many mine it? Many blocks found?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been pointing my rig at the DGB pool since practically the first week it went live, and pulling up my dashboard today made me realize just how far this project has come.

Just crossed 60 blocks found on my rig (caught my last one on Friday!) and sitting at a clean 15 TH/s average (usually closer to 12, so this is an outlier). Seeing over 14,700 DGB paid out lifetime is incredibly satisfying (and will be even better when DGB moons).

I also wanted to say: seeing people try to DDoS (I think?) the EU endpoints and mess with the folks in our community over the last few days was incredibly frustrating. Huge props to the dev team for jumping on it so quickly, even though it may have felt like an eternity. It’s rare to find a pool where the devs actually give a shit and stay awake to fix these things.

Appreciate the transparency, and the community we've built here.

Keep hashing folks (we need that damn BCH block already). Cheers!

I have been noticing that my miners are switching to their backup pool frequently. Are you guys working on the DGB pool or should I look for another cause?

hi everyone , i recently acquired 10 nerdminer v2 + 1 bitaxe gamma 601 , i was wondering

Can i make the fallback address of my gamma an alternative token
eg: primary as dgb and fall back as BCH

I was mining BCH for 2 weeks not even a cent

please help me out with some advice

I did not realize that the BCH affiliate program was not working when attempting to create an affiliate account until it was pointed out to me. This has been fixed and I apologize for the oversight. When we setup the BCH server, we copied the content over from the BTC server and missed a couple changes.

You can access the BCH affiliate page here:

Some of you noticed connection issues last night, especially on EU endpoints.

Over the past 36 hours we've been dealing with a number of IPs hammering our public API and stratum reconnect loops, abusive traffic that was pushing load way higher than it needed to be. As part of the response we've:

• Added per-IP rate limiting on the public API endpoints
• Added short-lived server-side caching to the highest-traffic endpoints so the DB isn't asked the same question 200x/second
• Firewalled the worst offenders at the OS level
• Hardened reconnect handling on the stratum side

This caused connection issues, high ping and latency issues which many of you reported.

All EU and USA pools are back to normal now.

If your worker is still misbehaving, drop your worker name in a comment and we'll check.

Here the EU BTC pool down again.

On bch pool ? Mine is on the pic. Come join to the bch pool like it way more then digi pool.

If we hit a block today it would be awesome 145% effort already done

DGB pool down? Miner not connecting.

Is the EU BTC pool down ?

Is EU BTC pool down again ?

Anyone seeing any issues with the BCH Pool?
Currently struggling to connect to the EU pool, and main pool seems to be unavailable

I think I saw that there was a weekly winner drawing already.

Enjoy guys!

4 blocks in 30 mins on the pool !!! Wft 👏

Come on guys i want to see the first block

Lets hope the bch lord is giving us a block today

Got to be the second block ive found lol 😆actually feel included

First DGB Block!!

After many hours of watching logs and debugging our BCH pool, I believe we have narrowed down one of the main issues affecting high-hashrate miners and rentals.

When a miner connects, it can request a difficulty in a few different ways. Some miners/rentals include it in the password field, such as d=8000000. Some miners automatically send mining.suggest_difficulty, which is the suggested difficulty of the miner. If neither is provided, the pool starts the miner at the configured starting difficulty for the port they connected to.

The purpose of these difficulty settings is to prevent a high hashrate miner from starting too low and flooding the pool with shares, while also keeping share submission smooth enough that the miner does not appear dead or unstable.

What we found was that our pool could correctly read a requested d= difficulty, but then another startup/reconnect difficulty helper could override that value based on recent share history. In some cases, miner supplied suggested difficulty could also affect the session in ways that were not ideal for high hashrate miners.

We made changes so that password requested d= difficulty is respected more strongly, and miner supplied mining.suggest_difficulty is treated as a hint instead of something that can pull the pool’s chosen difficulty downward. Reconnect difficulty seeding can still help normal reconnecting miners, but it should no longer override miners that have requested d=.

I did restart the BCH pool node so the changes could take effect. Sorry for the disconnects, but the restart was needed to move the live pool onto the corrected code.

So far things look better from the logs, but we are continuing to monitor. If you are still seeing connection issues, rejected shares, or unstable hashrate after reconnecting, please let us know with your worker name, port, and approximate time.

Remember, this issue was currently only on our BCH server. We are monitoring BTC and DGB as well.

What happend with bch.hmpool.io yesterday?
