HOBC mining is SHA-256 solo mining for home miners, nano miners, small test miners, and regular ASICs. This page gives beginners a starting point: get a HOBC address, choose the right pool, enter the miner settings, and understand when payouts happen.
Use the Main Pool for normal SHA-256 ASIC miners and higher-hashrate devices. Start difficulty is 5000.
stratum+tcp://pool.hobbyhashcoin.com:5555YOUR_HOBC_ADDRESS.worker1Password: x
Use this when your miner is a regular ASIC or has enough hashrate that very low difficulty is not needed.
Open Main PoolUse the Nano Pool for nano miners, test miners, and very low-hashrate SHA-256 devices. Start difficulty is 0.005.
stratum+tcp://pool.hobbyhashcoin.com:5556YOUR_HOBC_ADDRESS.nano1Password: x
Use this when your miner needs a very low share difficulty to show accepted shares.
Open Nano PoolThe HOBC Nano Pool is the best starting point for low-hashrate SHA-256 miners that need very low share difficulty. This includes nano miner, Bitaxe-style, NerdMiner-style, USB test miner, and other small hobby mining setups that may not submit shares often on normal pool difficulty.
Use the Nano Pool URL, a real HOBC address, and a simple worker suffix. Accepted shares mean your miner is connected and submitting valid work, but HOBC pools are solo only, so payouts happen only when a worker finds a real block.
Solo mining means one worker wins the block. The pool tracks shares so you can see that your miner is connected and working, but shares are not split payouts.
If your worker finds a real HOBC block, the payout goes to the HOBC address before the dot in your worker name. If no block is found, there is no payout yet.
Example worker name:
YOUR_HOBC_ADDRESS.worker1
HOBC pools are solo only. If your worker finds a real block, the full block reward pays automatically to the HOBC address before the dot in your worker name. Accepted shares show your miner is working, but they are not split payouts across the pool.
Always use YOUR_HOBC_ADDRESS.worker1 or YOUR_HOBC_ADDRESS.nano1 — include a dot and worker suffix, not the HOBC address alone.
When your worker finds a solo block, the HOBC reward pays automatically to the address before the dot after the coinbase reaches 100 on-chain confirmations. Until then the block may show as waiting for maturity. That is normal coinbase maturity, not a manual pool hold.
The Workers count on pool status includes every miner with recent accepted shares in the active session window, not only live stratum socket connections. That is why it can be higher than a raw connection count from pool software.
Create a HOBC address with the Windows standalone wallet, another local wallet you control, or the custodial web wallet for small balances. The web wallet is custodial and is better treated as a convenience wallet.
Check the pool URL, port, worker format, password, SHA-256 support, and whether you accidentally used a BTC, BCH, or DGB address.
