Wanted to get this out. More features and updates planned as time permits. Feedback and ideas welcomed.
Pool Directory is live.
Every pool we track now has a profile with hashrate, payouts, stratum details, verified blocks, and StratumRace data.
What’s missing? What would you like to see? Let us know.

Got into a theological debate with a priest while waiting for coffee this morning. Finally had to pull rank and inform him I’m an ordained minister of the Church of the Latter-Day Dude. Got my credentials online 20 years ago. Father, it’s Sunday. You’re making me late for football. The Dude abides.

1/ We've temporarily removed NexusPool from StratumRace and recalculated the leaderboards without it. Its full-template results were being scored on a partial template, not its complete one. It can return once our collectors credit every pool at its first complete template.
WHERE ARE THE SOLO MINING BLOCKS?! ⛏️
CKPool: 286% of expected work
Parasite: 228%
AtlasPool: 128%
Across their respective droughts, that’s ~6.4 blocks’ worth of work with NOTHING to show for it.
Screw you, variance.
SHOW ME A HOME MINER BLOCK.
Just met the inventor of email outside Market Basket handing out campaign flyers. If this Senate thing doesn’t work out, maybe he and Al Gore can team up for a presidential run.
Papa Gino’s, could you remind Drake Maye that your pizzas are the only thing he’s supposed to deliver to Buffalo on Sunday? Not the meatball subs. @PapaGinos 😂
Spooky season is officially underway at Parasite Pool. 👻⛏️
@BobbyShakesX and the crew throwing another block party. This one could be their biggest yet. 🔥
At my kid’s football game today, because of course 7th grade football overlaps NFL Sunday. Another dad sees me staring at my phone: “What’s the Pats score?” Sorry buddy. Not ESPN. Watching my miners on @HashWatcher. 🤣

⚡️ What is Accumulated Work?
Every share our miners submit adds up into "difficulty-adjusted work" — a measure of how much real hashing AtlasPool has done toward finding a block.
At today's network difficulty (127.45T), one block is expected per 127.45T of work.
AtlasPool has now accumulated 156.2T — that's 1.23× the work needed for an average block. 🧡
Solo mining is memoryless: every share is a fresh lottery ticket, and our next one could be the winner. Onward to block #1. 🚀
This came out damn good. Great collaboration between an excellent builder and a top tier pool. 🔥
Excited to drop the brand-new @AtlasPool_io Edition NerdQX! ⚡️ Powered by 4× BM1370 ASICs pushing up to 8 TH/s with custom copper accents, plasma disc atlaspool logo, and custom LED lighting.
This is a very limited small batch, once they are gone there will be no more made. 👀
Grab your one of a kind miner now! ixtech.xyz/products/nerdqx-a…
PSA: The Super Bowl is on Valentine’s Day. You’ve got five months to start laying the groundwork for whatever excuse you’re going with. 😂
Yep… NFL season is finally here. I’m so excited I’m not even mad I’m about to spend the next few months getting pitched Papa Gino’s stuffed crust by Drake Maye every 20 minutes. 😂
Joel was kind enough to foot the bill for a Bitkey for me. Great guy, and what he’s doing to get these into the hands of Bitcoiners is pretty damn cool. Excited to check it out.
The new Zyber 12 looks damn cool.
When I found my way back into mining I reached out to a bunch of companies with every question I had. Things had come a long way since the garage full of roaring Antminers. Winston at @TinyChipHub answered me. Then answered me again. And again. And again. He put up with the questions, opinions, random ideas, and general bullshit when plenty of others would’ve stopped responding.
Somewhere along the way the conversations stopped being just about mining. We talk industry, community, culture, life, and plenty of complete nonsense. I’m happy to call him a genuine friend now.
I’ll always call devices and companies exactly how I see them. Friendship isn’t going to change that. But loyalty means something to me, and there’s a part of me that really enjoys seeing the people who went the extra mile succeed.
The Zyber 12 looks like a hell of a device. Excited to see where Winston and the team take things next.
StratumRace now has a detailed view for each pool we monitor, with an overview of the pool’s features, blocks found, pool stats, and StratumRace performance.
Here’s a look at @Parasite_wtf, which has historically been a consistent top 3 performer on our leaderboard.
I’ve spent a ton of time over the last few months looking at mining pool data, so I was curious how the recent events surrounding OCEAN lined up with their hashrate.
I pulled OCEAN’s reported hashrate directly from their API and overlaid the major events on the timeline.
No particular conclusion I was looking for. I just like looking at data points when possible. It’s my idea of a fun Tuesday.
No one enjoys dad jokes and satire more than I do, but I’ve hit the point where I genuinely can’t tell reality from satire on Bitcoin X anymore. I keep hoping half of what I’m reading is satire. I’m pretty sure it’s not. 😂

- Winner claims award by DM'ing me (X or Discord) information about their rental to verify
- If no one comes forward to claim the prize within 48 hours, then the next best share is eligible. And again if needed.
