Getting started
From zero to mining in about five minutes. Create an account, point your miner at our stratum, and you're done.
How Bitmern Solo works
Bitmern is a solo mining pool. Your miners submit shares to our infrastructure, and when one of your workers finds a valid block, the entire block reward goes to your wallet. We take a flat 1% fee. No shared payouts, no splitting rewards with strangers.

Setup in 5 steps
Create a free account
Sign up at app.bitmernsolo.com with just an email address. No KYC, no verification delays. You'll be in your dashboard in under a minute.
Create AccountGet a wallet you control
You need a wallet where you own the private keys. Do not use an exchange address — if your miner finds a block, the reward goes directly to this wallet.
Add your wallet address
In your Bitmern dashboard, enter your wallet address for the coin you want to mine. This is where block rewards are sent when you find a block.
Configure your miner
Point your ASIC at one of our stratum endpoints using the connection details below. Your miner will start submitting shares within seconds.
Start mining
Once connected, your hashrate, workers, and stats show up in your dashboard in real time. That's it — you're solo mining.
Recommended wallets
You must use a wallet where you control the private keys. Never use an exchange address for mining payouts.

Stratum endpoints
Copy these into your miner's pool configuration. All ports use VarDiff — difficulty auto-adjusts to match your miner's speed. The number shown is the starting difficulty.

Choosing the right port
All ports use VarDiff, which automatically adjusts difficulty to your miner's speed. The starting difficulty just sets where VarDiff begins. If you're unsure, use the default (highest) port — it works for everyone.
| Your hashrate | SHA-256 port | Scrypt port | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 10 TH/s | Lowest available | Lowest available | Small ASICs, Bitaxe, older hardware |
| 10–100 TH/s | Low or Medium | Default | Single mid-range ASIC |
| 100+ TH/s | Default (highest) | Default (highest) | Modern ASICs, multiple units |
What is VarDiff?
VarDiff (Variable Difficulty) automatically adjusts the share difficulty sent to your miner based on how fast it's hashing. This keeps your miner submitting shares at a steady rate — not too fast (which wastes bandwidth) and not too slow (which makes your dashboard stats laggy). You don't need to configure anything; it happens automatically on our end.
Common questions
How long until I find a block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the network. Solo mining is like a lottery — you might find a block in an hour or it might take months. Use the calculator in your dashboard to estimate your odds.
Can I mine multiple coins at once?
Yes. Add wallet addresses for each coin in your dashboard and point different miners at different stratum endpoints. Each coin has its own pool.
What happens if my miner disconnects?
Nothing bad. Reconnect whenever you're ready. If you have alerts enabled, we'll email you when a worker goes offline.
Do I need to keep my computer on?
Your ASIC miner needs to stay running and connected to the internet, but you don't need a computer on. The Bitmern dashboard is a web app — check it from any device.
Where is the pool server located?
Our infrastructure is in Dallas, TX (US Central). We plan to add more regions based on demand.
