Farewell, Leo

Just let you know that it's already dominated by ASICs. Hashrate is at 350.2 TH/s, according to mempool.space. You can definitely get a piece of the pie with 15 TH/s, though.

I’ve noticed that mempool.space's testnet explorer shows some pools like "Test Pool" and "Solo CK," but I haven’t been able to find any specific connection details

In mempool.space, it shows that mining pools are "MARA pool" and "DrDetroid". Everything else is solo-mined.

but I haven’t been able to find any specific connection details (e.g., Stratum URL, port, etc.) or even documentation on how to join them.

I don't think either of them allows you to connect with.

While I’ve managed to configure everything for solo mining using my own Bitcoin Core node and Farm Proxy, I’m curious if there are any public testnet mining pools I can join to collaborate with others or test pool-based mining setups.

I don't remember any of testnet pool ATM. But since you already setup full node, you may want to run your own testnet mining pool as well. You can use software such as https://github.com/benjamin-wilson/public-pool to do that. But please don't use too many ASIC or hashrate, since it could increase testnet difficulty significantly which makes testnet less usable for everyone else.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently mining on the Bitcoin testnet for development and testing purposes, and I’ve set up my Antminer S9 with Braiins OS. While I’ve managed to configure everything for solo mining using my own Bitcoin Core node and Farm Proxy, I’m curious if there are any public testnet mining pools I can join to collaborate with others or test pool-based mining setups.

I’ve noticed that mempool.space's testnet explorer shows some pools like "Test Pool" and "Solo CK," but I haven’t been able to find any specific connection details (e.g., Stratum URL, port, etc.) or even documentation on how to join them.

What I’m Looking For:

Testnet Pool Stratum URL: Any pool that allows connection for testnet mining.
Joining Details: Information on registration, worker settings, etc.
Any Recommendations: If you know of any active or private testnet pools, please share!

About My Setup:

Miner: Antminer S9 (15 TH/s) running Braiins OS.
Local Node: Fully synced Bitcoin Core in testnet mode.
Goal: Test and verify pool-based mining workflows on testnet.

If you know of any active testnet mining pools or have tips for finding/joining them, I’d greatly appreciate it. Feel free to reply here or DM me with any details.

Thanks in advance.
