SHA-256 · Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash

MINE BITCOIN CASH

Point your SHA-256 hardware at bch.hmpool.io and start earning BCH. Five difficulty ports, a hybrid PPLNS payout system with a up to 24% finder's bonus, and a community rewards program — all on a pool built for miners of every size.

Check Your Miner

Enter your BCH address to see hashrate, workers, shares, and payouts.

Point your miner at eu.bch.hmpool.io instead of bch.hmpool.io using the same port number shown below for your hashrate — same pool, same accounting, same payouts. Just a closer server. Compact ASICs under 10 TH/s (e.g. Avalon Nano 3S) should use port 3335 on both endpoints.

Three Steps to Mining BCH

Pick Your Port

Choose a stratum port that matches your miner's hashrate — from tiny hobby devices to large ASIC farms.

Connect & Hash

Set your BCH address as the username, x as the password, and point your miner to bch.hmpool.io.

Earn Rewards

Your shares accumulate under PPLNS. When blocks are found, payouts are sent automatically once you hit the threshold.

Entry / Ultra-Low Difficulty

For ultra-low hashrate SHA-256 miners (NerdMiner-class), experimental boards, and tiny hobby devices that need fast share feedback.

stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:3337 🇪🇺 EU: stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:3337

Hashrate RangeUnder 100 MH/s

Suggested Difficulty0.01

Bitaxe / Solo Miners

Optimized for Bitaxe devices (all models: BM1366, BM1368, BM1370, BM1397) and solo miners in the 300 GH/s to 2 TH/s range.

stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:3334 🇪🇺 EU: stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:3334

Hashrate Range300 GH/s – 2 TH/s

Suggested Difficulty2048 (range: 1024+)

Small Miner / Tuned Start Difficulty

Best for GPUs, USB clusters, compact home ASICs (Avalon Nano 3S, etc.), and any miner under 10 TH/s that needs a lower starting difficulty. VarDiff ramps up within ~30 seconds. Use password d=1 or d=8 for very low hashrate tests.

stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:3335 🇪🇺 EU: stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:3335

Hashrate Range100 MH/s – 10 TH/s

Suggested Difficulty128 start (range: 1–10,000)

Mid ASIC / Routed Difficulty

For mid-range ASICs from 10–20 TH/s that are comfortable with a higher starting difficulty. If your miner drops the connection on this port, use port 3335 instead or set password to d=4096.

stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:3336 🇪🇺 EU: stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:3336

Hashrate Range10 TH/s – 20 TH/s

Suggested Difficulty8,192 (range: 4,096–65,536)

High / Farm Difficulty

For larger ASIC deployments and higher-throughput connections that don't need the highest starting difficulty lane.

stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:3338 🇪🇺 EU: stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:3338

Hashrate Range20 TH/s – 100 TH/s

Suggested Difficulty131,072 (range: 65,536–524,288)

Highest Hash / High-Start Difficulty

For the highest hashrate ASICs, large hosted rigs, and rentals that benefit from a higher starting difficulty.

stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:3339 🇪🇺 EU: stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:3339

Hashrate Range100 TH/s – 500 TH/s

Suggested Difficulty524,288+ (range: 131,072+)

Ultra-High Hashrate (PH/s Class)

For massive hashrate operations, multi-PH/s farms, and NiceHash/MRR rentals at industrial scale.

stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:3340 🇪🇺 EU: stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:3340

Hashrate Range500 TH/s and up (PH/s class)

💡 Use "By Difficulty" if your miner shows optimal difficulty!

Your miner's max hashrate

Connection credentials

Every miner uses the same pattern regardless of port.

URL: stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:PORT

Username: YOUR_BCH_ADDRESS.workername

Password: x

Advanced: If you know your miner's preferred starting difficulty, set the password to d=XXXX (for example, d=2048 for a Bitaxe or d=65536 for a mid-range ASIC). Otherwise leave it as x and vardiff will adjust automatically within about 30 seconds.

Full Setup Guide

🇪🇺 European miners: use the eu.bch.hmpool.io relay with the same port number recommended above (e.g. 3335 for a ~5–6 TH/s Avalon Nano 3S). Stats, payouts, and pool fees are identical to bch.hmpool.io.

Hybrid Payout System

Every block reward is split transparently. The finder gets a bonus, active miners share a participation cut, and everyone earns their proportional PPLNS share.

PPLNS Shared

When a block is found: there is no pool fee — 100% of the reward goes to miners. The finder earns up to a 24% weighted bonus (scaled by active mining hours). Miners active 4+ days with steady uptime split 6% equally as a loyalty reward. Miners 0.5–20 TH/s split 4% equally as a small-miner boost. The remaining 66% is distributed proportionally by shares in a 7-day rolling window. Balances accumulate until the 0.0001 BCH payout threshold is reached, then sent on-chain automatically.
