Worker Naming Guide

How to name each mining device so your stats show workers separately — and why it's useful.

The format

address.workername

When you configure a miner for SoloPool.eu, you set two fields: URL (the stratum server) and Username. The username is where your BCH address — and optionally a worker name — goes.

# Just the address (worker shows up as the address itself)
bitcoincash:qYOURADDRESS

# Address + worker name (recommended for multiple devices)
bitcoincash:qYOURADDRESS.bitaxe1

The password field is not used. Enter x or leave it blank — it doesn't matter. The pool ignores it entirely.

Why bother?

Track each device independently

Without worker names, all your devices appear merged under a single entry in your miner stats. You can see total hashrate, but not which device is running at what speed or which one last submitted a share.

With worker names, each device appears as its own row in the Miner Stats page — with its own hashrate, last share time, and online/offline status. If one device goes offline or drops hashrate, you spot it immediately.

Examples

Common setups

Single Bitaxe

Username

bitcoincash:qxxx.bitaxe

Password

NerdQaxe

Username

bitcoincash:qxxx.nerdqaxe

Password

Multiple devices — room names

Device 1

bitcoincash:qxxx.office

Device 2

bitcoincash:qxxx.garage

Multiple devices — numbered

Device 1

bitcoincash:qxxx.miner1

Device 2

bitcoincash:qxxx.miner2

Naming rules

What's allowed in a worker name

Letters and numbers: bitaxe1, miner2
Underscores: my_miner
Hyphens: home-rig
Short names (under 32 chars)
Spaces — use underscores instead
Special characters like @, #, /
A second dot — only one separator between address and worker name

Device-specific setup

Where to enter the username

Each device type has a slightly different UI, but the field is always called Username, Stratum User, or similar.

Bitaxe / AxeOS: Open the device's web UI (usually 192.168.x.x), go to Settings → Stratum. Set Host to stratum.solopool.eu, Port to 3333, and Username to bitcoincash:qYOURADDRESS.workername.

NerdQaxe: Same AxeOS interface. Set both workers to the same address if you want combined stats, or give each chip a different suffix for split tracking.

Full ASIC (Antminer, Whatsminer, etc.): Go to Miner Configuration → Pool 1. Set URL to stratum+tcp://stratum.solopool.eu:3333, Worker to bitcoincash:qYOURADDRESS.workername, Password to x.

Common questions

FAQ

No. bitcoincash:qYOURADDRESS alone is perfectly valid. Your miner will show up as a single worker in stats. Worker names are optional but recommended if you have more than one device.

Yes — they'll appear as one worker in stats and their hashrates will be summed. This is useful if you treat two identical devices as one unit, but you won't be able to tell them apart if one goes offline.

Yes — just update the username in your miner's settings. The old worker name will disappear from stats once it stops submitting shares (usually within a few minutes). There's no account or registration to update.

No. Payouts are always made to the BCH address — the part before the dot. Worker names are purely for display in stats. All workers under the same address share the same payout destination.

If the username doesn't contain a valid BCH address, the pool will reject the connection. Make sure your address starts with bitcoincash:q (CashAddr format) or is a legacy address starting with 1. Check yours with the Address Validator →

Pool-side hashrate is calculated from submitted shares, not reported by your device directly. In the first 15–60 minutes after connecting the estimate can be noisy. Give it an hour and it will stabilise to a number close to your device's rated hashrate.
