SoloFury ⚡ Multi-Coin SHA-256 Solo Mining Pool | BCH BTC BC2 BCH2 XEC | 1% Fee

[Nexus9090]

I like the changes you've made to the site, I can see its still a work in progress but its coming along quite nicely.

I currently have my last remaining Bitaxe pointed at your BC2 pool. However the BC2 price is not presently shown; where it was on the previous incarnation of the site.





One other thing that's changed that might not be ideal, is that the linking to a particular miner has changed so bookmarks no longer work without re-entering the miner address and then re-saving the bookmarks.

Lastly the ping I'm seeing to you EU Frankfurt server isn't anything like what your site reports (16mS).

I'm located in England and I'm currently seeing 140mS to your BC2 primary pool (stratum+tcp://eu-bc2.solofury.com:8080)

I appreciate there's a lot of mechanics at play with network hops etc, however this is significantly more than it was when I first tried your pool I was averaging 25-35mS previously. Has something changed at your pool end?


I note you've found another BCH block, congratulations! to you and the miner who won it. 

Mine on!

[SoloFury]

Thanks for the info, I'll check everything.
I'm very happy you're reporting problems. It's not easy to find all the changes on your own; there are so many at once.
Structuring the new interface wasn't easy.
Yes, the new block was found just as I was loading the new interface. I'll check the problems.

Happy mining and good luck!

Thanks,

Its hard work proof reading your own work. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

It'd be nice to win a block or two

Here I am, I made some changes. BC2 Price: Just fixed it an hour ago. It was a weird CoinGecko bug: their API was returning {"error":"offline"}; it should now work properly.
Broken bookmarks — FIXED: Great report. The old SPA used URL fragments (#bc2/qq...) for miner pages; the new Astro build uses query params (/miner/?coin=bc2&addr=qq...). I just deployed a redirect handler for legacy bookmarks in the site header — old hash-based URLs are now automatically redirected to the new format. Your existing bookmark should work as is, without doing anything. The new canonical format (if you want to re-save) is: https://solofury.com/miner/?coin=bc2&addr=TUO_ADDIRIZZO_BC2
Frankfurt latency (140ms from the UK): Just ran diagnostics on the primary server. The Frankfurt relay is working normally. UK → Frankfurt via decent fiber should be 10-25ms (London-Frankfurt is one of the lowest-latency intercontinental links in Europe). 140ms means something is adding ~100ms to the path between you and solofury. Most likely causes, in order:
ISP routing via the US. Some UK ISPs (especially BT Wholesale and Virgin Media during peak hours) route Vultr traffic via the US East Coast peering instead of the direct EU peering. This would add exactly the ~100ms you see.
VPN / Cloudflare WARP / privacy proxy active — easily +50-100ms.
Your ISP's peering issue with Vultr Frankfurt.
If you can:
tracert eu-bc2.solofury.com
(or traceroute / mtr on Linux). The hop where the latency jumps from ~10ms to ~100ms is the real deal. If it's hops 3-5 (within your ISP), it's their internal routing. If it's hops 6-8 (transit provider), it's a peering issue. It's worth reporting to your ISP in both cases.
It's also worth comparing: ping eu-bch.solofury.com (port 7070, same Frankfurt server) — if that's also 140ms, it's the network path. If BCH is 25ms and BC2 is 140ms, there's something weird going on at the HAProxy level on a specific port (very unlikely, but I'd like to know).

Looks like a routing issue with my ISP.

I'll reset my router and gateway and see if that resolves the delay.

I dont think its an issue your end. But thanks for looking into it.

I'm very happy you're reporting problems. It's not easy to find all the changes on your own; there are so many at once.

You staying active and handling everything so well already means a lot. Stay active here, keep solving the problems, keep moving forward. Wishing you all the best.

Hi Rolando

Would it be possible for you to add back in the USD calculated value on the block reward that was on the original version of your site.



Also, in the mining luck/block odds section the block value is not shown





Many Thanks

Mine on!

There are no problems :-) I hope you solve it.

Thank you so much. I've been mining for a long time, it's always been a passion of mine. I have some nerdqaxe nerdoctaxe, and about 6 months ago I got some s21s. I've always solo mined in various pools, switching from one pool to another. I always felt like something was missing, so I started solofury. This made me even more passionate. But it's not a job for me. It's just passion, I dedicate a lot of time to it, and I'd like to try to help. Thanks for the kind words, though. I'm very happy.

I should have fixed both problems, you can check.
I've put a few articles inside the blog, there's one that talks about bc2, take a look: https://www.solofury.com/blog/

Thanks for fixing the problems.

The blog article on BC2 was interesting, I was wondering when the re-target was due.

Thanks!

I'm glad you read it. Good luck mining!

Hey guys 👋

I just finished something I'm pretty proud of and wanted to share it here first.

You know how setting up a miner on a new pool is always a bit of a pain — digging through docs, copy-pasting stratum URLs, figuring out which server is closest to you? I wanted to fix that for SoloFury.

So I built Solo Start → solofury.com/start/

It's a 4-step configurator that:
• Detects your location automatically and picks the nearest server (US/EU/Asia)
• Shows a 3D interactive globe where you click your city and see the connection arc animate in real time
• Spits out your full stratum config — Pool 1, 2, 3 failover, worker, password — all ready to copy or download
• Works for all 5 coins: BTC, BCH, BC2, BCH2, XEC
• No account, no KYC, no email, nothing. Just open the page and go.

I built it for Bitaxe miners, NerdAxe users, and anyone who just wants to point their ASIC at a solo pool without the headache.

Would love to hear what you think — especially if something doesn't work with your setup. Happy to add more hardware models to the list too if yours is missing.

Cheers 🤙

Hey everyone! 👋

Quick update from SoloFury — I just shipped two small but pretty handy features for the /miner/ dashboard. Nothing crazy, just things I personally wished for as a solo miner, so I built them.

The two new buttons in the top-right of the identity card:

📜 .LOG button — one-click diagnostic report

Click and you get a 14-section plain-text .log file with everything happening on your wallet right now:

• Executive summary — status, top issues to investigate first
• Per-worker health analysis — drift detection vs 1h/24h averages, severity levels (OK / WARN / CRITICAL) with suggested actions for each problem
• Difficulty optimization — tells you per worker whether to raise/lower the diff to hit ~1 share / 10s
• Share quality breakdown — rejected / invalid / stale / duplicate rates
• 24h statistics + ASCII hashrate timeline
• All blocks ever found by your wallet (height, date, which worker submitted the winning share)
• Network context with statistical TTF (Time To Find next block)
• Pool context for cross-checking

Here's a snippet of what it looks like (real output from my own farm, 4× S21+ on BCH):

Code:

══ 3. WORKER HEALTH ANALYSIS ══

It actually caught one of my own ASICs that had a hashboard issue I hadn't noticed yet. 🙃

📤 SHARE button — auto-generated PNG card

Generates a 1200×630 PNG with your current hashrate, ASIC count, blocks found, total mined and BCH/BTC/XEC price. Good for tweeting your latest block, dropping on Reddit, or just showing off in Discord.

good luck with mining!
