Most ASICs work the same way: open the miner’s web UI, enter a pool URL and a worker username, and save. That’s the whole setup.

​
Connection details

stratum+tcp://pool.basedmining.xyz:3333
The worker name is whatever you want — home1, garage, apollo-east. It’s just a label so you can tell your rigs apart on the dashboard.

​
Step-by-step

1

Open your miner's web interface

On most home miners (Apollo, Bitaxe, etc.) this is http://<miner-ip> on your local network. Find the IP from your router or the device’s display.
2

Find the pool / stratum settings

Every miner UI is slightly different but every one has a screen for “Pools” or “Mining Configuration.” Look for a row of fields labeled URL, User, and Password.
3

Enter the connection details

FieldValue
URLstratum+tcp://pool.basedmining.xyz:3333
User<your-btc-address>.<worker-name>
Passwordx (literally the letter x)
4

Save and restart the miner

Most miners restart automatically when you save. If yours doesn’t, reboot it manually.
5

Confirm you're connected

Within a minute, your worker will show up on the BasedMining dashboard. You should see your hashrate climbing toward your rig’s nameplate rate.

​
Examples by miner

Bitaxe web UI → Settings → Stratum URL pool.basedmining.xyz, Stratum Port 3333, Stratum User <btc-address>.<worker>, Stratum Password x → Save.
Web UI → Configuration → Miner Configuration → fill Pool 1 with the URL, worker, and password → Save & Apply.
Web UI → Network → Mining Configuration → set Pool 1 URL/Worker/Password → Save.
Web UI → Pool → set Pool URL, Worker, Password → Save.

​
High-difficulty port (for larger rigs)

If you’re running serious hashpower and your shares are getting rejected as “below minimum difficulty,” switch to the high-diff port: 
stratum+tcp://pool.basedmining.xyz:3336
Same worker/password format. The high-diff port runs higher base difficulty so larger ASICs don’t flood the share queue.

​
Verify it’s working

After 1–2 minutes, open the dashboard. You should see:
  • Your worker name in the leaderboards
  • A hashrate close to your rig’s nameplate rate
  • Your accepted-shares counter climbing
  • Your row appearing on the Top Difficulties board
You can also go directly to your per-miner page at basedmining.xyz/miner/<your-btc-address> — bookmark it.
If your worker doesn’t appear within 5 minutes:
  • Double-check your BTC address — no typos
  • Make sure you used a . (period) between the address and worker name, not a space or :
  • Confirm the miner has internet (try pinging from its UI or checking its event log)
  • Try the high-diff port :3336 if your rig is large

​
Troubleshooting

Wait two more minutes — small miners take a moment to find their first share. If still nothing, check the miner’s log for stratum messages and confirm you didn’t typo the URL.
The connection is fine but the miner isn’t hashing. Check the miner’s status page — it may be mid-restart, overheating, or in an idle state.
Check that your miner’s clock is synced (NTP) and that you’re not overclocking past the chip’s stable range. Some firmware versions have known stratum-difficulty bugs — try the latest stable. If rejections are persistent on a big rig, switch to port :3336.
Hop into Twitter — @basedminingco — and DM with your miner model and what you see in the logs. We’ll help you sort it.
