You need a Bitcoin Cash wallet address. This is where your payout goes if you find a block. Use Electron Cash, Bitcoin.com Wallet, or any BCH wallet. Copy the address — you'll need it in the next step.

Open your miner's web interface

Connect to your device's IP address in a browser. Usually something like 192.168.x.x — check your router's connected devices list or your miner's serial output to find it.

Go to pool or stratum settings

In AxeOS (Bitaxe): Settings → Pool. In NerdAxe firmware: Settings → Pool Config. In LuckyMiner: Pool Settings. You're looking for host, port, and username fields.

Enter the config

Fill in these values exactly:

Host: stratum.solopool.eu

Port: 3333

User: YOUR_BCH_ADDRESS.worker1

Pass: x

Save and reboot

Save the config. Your miner will reboot or reconnect. Within 60 seconds you should see shares being accepted. Check your miner's dashboard for the share count — if it's going up, you're connected.

Stratum reference

All available endpoints. Port 3333 works for most home miners.

Protocol	Host	Port	TLS	Notes
Stratum V1	stratum.solopool.eu	3333	No	Default. Works with all devices.
Stratum V1 + TLS	stratum.solopool.eu	3334	Yes	Encrypted. Use if your device supports it.

Your BCH wallet address

Your wallet address is your login. It's where your payout goes. No account needed.

Which format should I use?

Both CashAddr (bitcoincash:q...) and legacy (1...) are supported. We recommend CashAddr.

Don't use a Bitcoin (BTC) address

BCH and BTC addresses look similar but are different networks. A BTC address will be rejected. Make sure your wallet is a Bitcoin Cash wallet.

What's the worker name after the dot?

The part after the dot (e.g. .bitaxe1) is just a label. Use different names if you have multiple miners on the same address. If you only have one miner, anything works.

Troubleshooting

If something isn't working, start here.

Check that the host is exactly stratum.solopool.eu with no extra characters. Port should be 3333. Some miner UIs have separate host and port fields — don't put stratum+tcp:// in the host field if there's a separate port field. Reboot your miner after saving. If still failing, verify your BCH address is valid.

Rejected shares are usually a clock sync issue or a firmware bug. Check that your miner's firmware is up to date. Make sure your network is stable — a flaky connection causes more rejects. A small number of rejects is normal.

Pool-reported hashrate is calculated from submitted shares, which is statistical. It takes time to converge on the real number. Give it 30–60 minutes for the average to stabilize. Short-term, it can be significantly higher or lower than your device's self-reported figure.

Almost certainly not. As long as shares are being submitted, your miner is working correctly. At typical home miner hashrates, finding a BCH block takes a statistical average of months to years. Check the Pool Stats page — if your address appears in the active miners list, you're live.

This is usually a local network issue rather than a pool issue. Try a different network cable or move closer to your router. Check if your router has any firewall rules blocking outbound TCP on port 3333. Some ISPs throttle mining traffic — try port 3334 (TLS) as an alternative.
