Is your Bitaxe
actually working for you?
Most solo miners set up their device and hope for the best. PingAxe verifies everything — pool speed, payout address, mempool fees, and scam detection — in one click.
macOS 12.0 or later · Free · Open Source
You bought a Bitaxe. You're chasing the dream.
Connected to the wrong pool
That tutorial you followed picked a pool on the other side of the world. Every share takes longer to arrive. Stale work. Wasted effort.
Your address might not get paid
Some pools are misconfigured. Some are outright scams. Find a block and lose 3.125 BTC because your address wasn't in the coinbase transaction.
No way to verify any of this
Your miner just hashes away quietly. No tool exists to check your full setup end-to-end — until now.
Four tools. One app. Complete peace of mind.
Speed Test
Find the fastest pool from your location
Tests all 20+ solo mining pools simultaneously using real Stratum connections — not just ping. Ranks them by actual connection speed from where you are right now.
Pool Verification
Confirm your address gets paid
Connects to your pool, waits for real mining work, and decodes the coinbase transaction to verify your Bitcoin address is actually in the payout outputs.
Mempool Comparison
Find the pool with the best fees
Compares the transaction fees included in each pool's candidate block right now. The pool with the highest fees pays you more if you find a block today.
Prevhash Monitor
Detect scam pools in real time
Watches the previous block hash each pool broadcasts over 11 minutes. Pools sending stale work are flagged SUSPICIOUS. Confirmed scam pools are flagged SCAM.
Open the app. Run the tests. Know your setup.
Download and open PingAxe
Free download from GitHub. No install wizard. Just unzip and open. Works on any Mac running macOS 12 or later.
Run any of the four tools
Each tool makes live connections to real mining pools using the Stratum protocol — the same protocol your Bitaxe uses. Results in seconds.
Know exactly where you stand
Fastest pool from your location. Address verified in the coinbase. Best fees. No scam pools. Your setup is either good or you know what to fix.
Free. Open source. Built for Bitaxe owners.
No accounts. No telemetry. No cloud. Just a macOS app that talks directly to mining pools on your behalf.
