[ANN] 🚀 BCMonster Is Back! - Beta Testers Wanted Before Launch! 🚀

Some Big Solo Miner take a chance on me and show me some love

Okay, you got it! 

I'll sink some Petahashes in.  How do I do that?  Will the pool take care of it, can it handle that kind of hashpower?

Of course it can, we had multiple petahashes at this pool in the past  
I have 200 terahashes more coming in, just need to add another electrical panel first.

Another bump, promotion is still going on for this round. Had some power issues today, my farm should be back up later tonight. Heading to the facility to make sure no hiccups when the power does come back on. I also have 30 more miners in transit so I should break the 1ph threshold soon enough.

Great!  I have an investor, my father in law, so my miners are on their way.

That’s great news. If we could land some other larger miners we will be on our way back up to regular block finding again.

Awesome.

BCMonster is back — looking for beta testers before we go live

BCMonster is coming back online.

We first opened in 2016, and after being down for a while I've rebuilt the whole thing from scratch — new backend, faster stratum, cleaner dashboard, and support for a handful of SHA-256 coins instead of just one. If you mined with us back in the day, the old block history is still on the explorer here:
mempool.emzy.de/mining/pool/bcmonster

It's been months of work and we're basically at the finish line. Before I flip the switch for real, I want to hammer on it with real hardware.

⚡ Why I need you
I'm looking for miners willing to point some hashrate at the pool for a few minutes so I can confirm everything holds up under real load. Small or large, it all helps — but if you've got serious hashrate to throw at it for stress testing, that's exactly what I need most.

Anything SHA-256 works:

• Bitmain Antminers (S19, S21, S23, whatever you've got)
• WhatsMiner / MicroBT
• Avalon
• Bitaxe / NerdQAxe
• NerdMiner and other ESP32 lottery boards
• Farms of any size

Even five minutes of hashing tells me a lot.

🧪 What I'm testing

• Wallet selector across every coin
• Pool and solo modes
• Stratum connections and reconnects
• VarDiff behavior (especially on high-hashrate gear)
• Worker naming and management
• Dashboard stats and share accounting
• Payouts
• As many firmware/hardware combos as I can get

⛏ Supported coins
Pool AND solo on all of these:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
• Bitcoin Cash II (BCH2)
• Bitcoin II (BC2)
• DigiByte SHA-256 (DGB)
• Peercoin (PPC)

Plus merge mining — point at BTC and pick up Namecoin (NMC) and Fractal Bitcoin (FB) on the same work, no extra hardware.

💰 About payouts during testing
This is not testnet. Everything runs on the real chains. Any block you find during the beta gets paid out normally, based on whether you were on pool or solo. Real work, real coins.

🚀 How to connect
Everything you need is on the site: bcmonster.com
The Quick Connect page has the stratum URLs, the port for each coin, wallet format, pool vs solo examples, and the dedicated NerdMiner ports.

🐞 Found something broken?
That's the whole point — tell me. Connection drops, rejected shares, wallet weirdness, UI glitches, stats that look off, payout problems, anything that seems wrong. Every report makes launch day smoother.

Big operations: I've run custom arrangements for large-scale miners before and I'm happy to work out rates for serious hashrate. Reach out.

Thanks to anyone willing to kick the tires on this. BCMonster was home to a lot of miners once and I'd love to do it justice the second time around. Whether it's a single Bitaxe or a full farm, I appreciate the help getting it launch-ready.

See you on the pool.
