bch.ee Parasite Pool is a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) mining pool inspired by the original parasite.space BTC pool. It combines a 1 BCH block finder bonus with proportional Full Round Payouts (PROP) for all miners. It is run by the developer of SoloChance.org and is currently in beta.

Most mining pools fall into one of two camps: solo pools, where you chase the full block reward alone with no guarantees, or proportional pools, where rewards are shared steadily but there is nothing to get excited about.

bch.ee Parasite Pool gives you both. Every miner receives their fair proportional share of each block — no luck penalty, no dry spells. And on top of that, whoever finds the block walks away with an extra 1 BCH bonus paid directly to them. The thrill of winning big, with the stability of regular payouts.

From the beginning of SoloChance.org, the goal has always been to serve what is underserved — to find the gap the community hasn't filled yet. When SoloChance.org was being built, SoloChance.com had already been serving Bitcoin solo mining calculations for years. So the gap was Bitcoin Cash, and that's where SoloChance.org went.

The same thinking applies here. Bitcoin Cash has regular pools, solo pools — everything you'd expect. The one thing it didn't have was a Parasite pool — something Bitcoin already had with parasite.space. The model is genuinely exciting, the gap was there, and no one had filled it yet. bch.ee Parasite Pool exists to change that.

No — bch.ee Parasite Pool is mining pool software and a coinbase distribution service, not a financial service in any way. It does not accept deposits, hold balances, or manage funds on anyone's behalf. Both the finder bonus and each miner's proportional share are placed directly as outputs in the block's own coinbase transaction by the pool software the moment a block is found — the pool itself is never a party to that transfer.

No, it does not custody any coins in any way. Payment is enforced by Bitcoin Cash's own consensus rules through the coinbase transaction, not by the pool operator — the pool software never holds, controls, or has the ability to move, withhold, or redirect any coins at any point.

Yes — the first block was found on August 9, 2026 at 23:18:42, as block #963375. See it and every block found since on the Blocks page.

Every time a block is found, three things happen:

1. 2% of the full block reward (Block Reward + Tx Fees) is taken first, as the pool fee.
2. 1 BCH is paid to the miner who found the block, directly in the block's coinbase, from what's left after the fee.
3. The remaining balance is split proportionally (PROP) among all miners based on their shares submitted since the last block — no minimum, even 1 sat is paid.

The block finder receives both #2 and their share of #3, all paid in that same coinbase transaction. It's fully trustless — no pool-side ledger to trust, and no ongoing bookkeeping.

Full Round means every share submitted since the last block counts toward this round's payout — the window is the round itself, not a fixed number of shares or a fixed time limit that could cut off shares from early in the round or pull in shares from a previous one. One block found starts a new round; the next block found closes it. All shares within that round are counted equally and proportionally — this is known as a PROP (proportional) payment scheme.

The pool fee is 2% of the full block reward, taken first — before the 1 BCH finder bonus and miner payouts are calculated. So on a 3.125 BCH block, the fee is 0.0625 BCH.

There's no separate "sending" step — both the 1 BCH finder bonus and your proportional share are placed directly as outputs in that block's own coinbase transaction the moment it's found. Coinbase outputs are spendable after 100 confirmations (~16.5 hours), per standard Bitcoin rules. There's no minimum payout: even 1 sat is paid, and there's no ongoing bookkeeping to wait on.

Point your miner at para.bch.ee:3333. Use your BCH address as the username, optionally followed by a worker name: YOUR_BCH_ADDRESS.workername. Password is x. See the Connect page for full examples including Bitaxe.

Any SHA-256 mining hardware works — ASICs (Antminer, Whatsminer, Bitaxe, nerdQAxe, etc.) and CPU miners (cpuminer-opt). BCH uses the same SHA-256 algorithm as Bitcoin.

Go to the My Stats page and enter your BCH address. It will show your hashrate, shares, and last activity. Stats are only available once the pool node finishes syncing.

Yes — a Testnet4 version of the pool is always running, using the exact same pool software as production. The only difference is it's connected to a testnet4 node instead of mainnet. You can test mining against it at test.bch.ee, and view found test blocks at test.bch.ee/#blocks.

The pool server runs in Frankfurt, Germany. Invoicing and domain purchases are handled through Estonia, thanks to the Estonian e-Residency programme, which allows individuals to access EU digital services without being a resident. The operator lives somewhere else.
