Zero X Pool

a SOLO-hybrid Bitcoin Cash mining pool · 0x.al · live stats → connecting…

Find the Bitcoin Cash block.
Take half.

The miner who solves a block wins 50% of the reward outright. Everyone else splits the rest in proportion to work done since the last block. Paid inside the block itself — the pool never touches your coins.

How the reward splits

50%

Flat bonus to the block finder — the lottery. One share is a ticket; every ticket can win.

49.9%

Split among all other miners in proportion to shares submitted since our last block. No decay window, no luck tax: work is work.

0.1%

Pool fee. That's it — and you can verify it in every block's coinbase, on-chain, forever.

Payouts are written directly into each block's coinbase transaction, straight to your address. There is no pool wallet, no balance, no minimum payout, and nothing to withdraw — the Bitcoin Cash protocol itself pays you. Coinbase rewards unlock after 100 blocks (≈16 hours), as they do for every miner on every chain.

Any device works on any port — difficulty auto-tunes to your hashrate within seconds either way. The port just sets a sensible starting point so your first shares count sooner.

  1. Point any SHA-256 miner (ASIC, Bitaxe, whatever you have) at the stratum URL above.
  2. Set the username to your own Bitcoin Cash address, a dot, then any worker name — e.g. qzexample....shed_bitaxe. The bitcoincash: prefix is optional.
  3. That's it. Your address is your account; rewards arrive there automatically.

Use an address whose keys you control (no exchange deposit addresses). CashAddr (q…) with or without the prefix, P2SH (p…) and old-style legacy addresses (1…) all work — lowercase recommended, and stick to one spelling so your shares pool together. Each block you help find pays you directly in its coinbase.

Bitaxe / AxeOS tip: turn Decode Coinbase Tx off. Its preview assumes a BTC-style coinbase layout and shows nonsense values ("billions of BTC") and a wrong "no share in reward" banner on this pool — purely cosmetic, mining and payouts are unaffected. Extranonce Subscribe and Stratum V2 can stay off too; this pool doesn't use either. Verify your real reward share with the address lookup at the top of this page instead.

Why trust this pool? Don't — verify.

Zero custody

This pool has no wallet — not a hot wallet, not a hardware wallet, nothing. Rewards go from the protocol to your address inside the block itself, so there is nothing we could hold, delay, freeze, or lose.

Open source

The pool software (a patched asicseer-pool/ckpool) is published, including the payout logic. Audit the exact code that builds your coinbase.

On-chain proof

Every past block is a receipt: every height, hash and finder in the table above links straight to an independent block explorer. Open the coinbase and check the splits match the rules — they always will.

Small print for small miners

My miner is tiny. Can my earnings get lost?

No — nothing ever vanishes. Bitcoin Cash won't allow block payouts smaller than 546 satoshis (that's a fraction of a cent), so if your slice of a block comes out below that, it isn't burned — it carries over. Your balance keeps accumulating across blocks, and the moment it crosses 546 sats it's paid out with the next block we find. And the bar is genuinely low: with a full block reward, clearing it in a single block takes only ~0.0004% of the round's work. Even one Bitaxe clears that comfortably — carry-over exists for the truly microscopic contributors.

Why no Lightning payouts like parasite.wtf?

Because Lightning solves a Bitcoin problem that Bitcoin Cash doesn't have. On BTC, network fees make small payouts uneconomic — a tiny payout can cost more to spend than it's worth — so Parasite built an off-chain Lightning system to deliver them, run from a pool-controlled wallet. On BCH, fees are about 1 satoshi per byte: even a 600-sat payout is perfectly spendable on-chain. So we pay you the most direct way that exists — inside the block itself, with no pool wallet, no channels, and nothing to trust. (There's also no Lightning network on BCH: the community chose bigger blocks instead of second layers, which is exactly what makes direct payouts this cheap.)
