Download Bitcoin.com Wallet or Electron Cash. Copy your address (starts with bitcoincash: or q).
Small miners (NerdMiner, Bitaxe) often reject the bitcoincash: format. If yours does, use the legacy form — the one starting with 1 or 3. Same wallet, same keys.
Point your miner to stratum.trustbchpool.com:3333 with your BCH address as username. Any password works (e.g. x). No registration needed!
Message @trustbchpool_bot and send /wallet your-address to get block & worker alerts.
Within a few minutes the miner should show accepted shares — not just "mining". Then check the pool: trustbchpool.com/api/stats — the Workers count goes up by one, and @trustbchpool_bot → /status lists your worker by name.
A tiny device (NerdMiner) can run a long time before its first share — that is normal on a solo pool. If it reports a hashrate but zero accepted shares for hours, ask us for a lower-difficulty port.
