Best Solo Mining Bitcoin Pool For Bitaxe Mining

The best solo mining pools for Bitaxe miners are Solo CKPool, Public Pool, and AtlasPool, chosen based on priorities for reliability, zero fees, or low latency. Solo CKPool is the default and most battle-tested option, charging a 2% fee only if a block is found, with excellent vardiff support for low-hashrate devices. Public Pool offers 0% fees and is ideal for miners prioritizing sovereignty, though it has a smaller infrastructure footprint than CKPool. AtlasPool provides the lowest latency through its global BGP Anycast network and charges a 1.5% fee, making it a strong choice for minimizing stale shares.

Pool	Fee	Stratum	Best For
Solo CKPool	2%	V1	Reliability, ease of use, default AxeOS setting
Public Pool	0%	V1	Zero-fee solo mining, self-hosting sovereignty
AtlasPool	1.5%	V1	Low latency, global distribution, uptime

For miners seeking a pooled alternative with regular payouts, OCEAN uses Stratum V2 and the TIDES payout scheme to provide non-custodial, proportional rewards, though it is technically pool mining rather than pure solo lottery mining.

For a Bitaxe running at 2-3 TH/s, solo mining is a lottery. The optimal pools are those with zero to low fees (since you need 100% of the reward if you hit) or specialized reward-splitting setups. Top-tier, Bitaxe-compatible solo mining pools include:
