ZEC Block Found!
Congrats to this user for solving HeliosPool's 4th ZEC block, taking height 3566216 with a diff of 1.30G!!! This is this user's first ZEC block on the pool!

ca-east region hostnames will be retired over the coming weeks after the new server has had some time to bake. Already seeing performance improvements on stratumrace.com and other monitoring tools. Blocks are being found and validated correctly. Please report any issues.

Migration of ca-east services to us-east is now complete. ca-east DNS is currently pointing to us-east to maintain service for anyone who currently has that region pinned, but please update to us-east (or use the non-region hostname) -

Server Maintenance: ca-east is migrating to a new server! You may notice a small amount of downtime only for this region as services are cut over. Moving to this new us-east hosted server will provide a significant bump in performance and bring it in line with other regions.

From around the world, with the same curiosity and tinkering spirit, the diversity that has come together to experiment and learn from each other is unbelievable. I continue to learn with all of you, and am inspired by your kindness and support.

From that one pool, and with encouragement from all of you, the service is what it is today. And that is the best part, of course, the community that's grown around the service. HeliosPool continues to be one man's hobby, but it only does so because of you.

Not to mention the countless firmware and other projects created by ordinary folks like you and me. The collaborations and the support, just seeing all these cool things being created (along with some friendly competition) has been amazing.

One year later, there are now MANY more pools available, not only for small hashrate devices, but for home hobby miners in general. It is awesome to see all the new pools that have sprung up that are now inspiring even more folks to jump in and try their hand at running one.

...it was Public-Pool and the Nerdminer's own pool, both of which had horrible ping for me. So, I got curious, built the pool using a modified fork of ckpool and, like the movie says, if you build it, they will come.

At the time, I was starting to dip my toes back into mining, and found these little Nerdminer gadgets. The pool started because I was disappointed in how few pools were available for these devices...

Happy Birthday to... HeliosPool!
November 11, 2025 is when HeliosPool's first server was commissioned, a BTC pool designed to support only low-hashrate devices (Nerdminers). ASICs were prohibited.
Give it a shot!

Rather take a chance with this than that 3-9 month lifespan many of these other miners have with VRM faults.
