Find the Best Pool for your Small Miner with the Push of a Button!

Most mining pool directories are built for industrial rigs. If you run a small miner, you're invisible to them. AxeFriendly.com is the only curated pool directory dedicated to low-hashrate lottery miners. You can sort mining pools by coin, payout model, location, and fee schedule. It even features a built-in stratum latency tool that allows you to instantly pinpoint the ideal pool for your geographic location with the push of a button.

Small ASIC Miner

Lottery miners that utilize one or more dedicated ASIC chips for mining, such as Bitaxe, NerdOctaxe, NerdQaxe, Lucky Miner, Mars Lander, and Avalon Nano.

🧠
Non-ASIC Miner

These miners utilize ESP32 microcontrollers for mining, such as Nerdminer, Bitsyminer, Sparkminer, NMMiner, Axeminer, and others.

How the latency test works: Browsers cannot open raw TCP sockets to stratum ports (a security restriction), so the Ping button asks our server to open a real TCP connection to the pool's stratum port and measure the median round-trip time over several probes. This is a genuine measurement — not simulated. It reflects the network path between our server and the pool, and is a reliable indicator of mining latency: lower is better.
