Definition
Public Pool (public-pool.io) is a community-oriented solo mining pool that charges zero fees and requires no registration or identity verification. Miners simply point their hardware at the pool’s Stratum address and provide a Bitcoin address for potential block rewards.
Unlike traditional pools that combine hashrate for shared rewards, Public Pool operates as a solo mining coordinator: if your specific miner finds a block, you receive the full reward. The pool provides a leaderboard showing connected miners and real-time statistics. It has become the default pool for Bitaxe and other open-source miners.
