SUMMARY
As a zero-fee, decentralized Bitcoin mining pool, Parasite Pool offers a new way to mine that rewards individual miners—especially plebs—with fairness and transparency. However, unlike traditional mining pools, it uses a unique authentication system that combines your Xverse wallet, Lightning address, and miner configuration.
This guide will walk you step-by-step through the process of joining Parasite Pool.
Step 1: Set Up a New Xverse Wallet
Parasite Pool requires a clean, brand-new Xverse wallet that will act as your identity when connecting your miner.
- Create a new wallet (not just a new account under an existing wallet)
- Make sure this wallet contains no Bitcoin or Ordinals
- Securely back up your private key – do not share it with anyone
You can download the Xverse Wallet extension or mobile app from https://www.xverse.app.
Step 2: Connect to Parasite Pool
Visit https://parasite.sati.pro and follow these steps:
- Connect your newly created Xverse wallet
- Complete the wallet signature to verify ownership
- You’ll be assigned a static Lightning address (lnURL)
- Copy and save this static ln address—it will be used as part of your miner username
Step 3: Configure Your ASIC Miner
Now that your wallet is ready, it’s time to set up your miner. Parasite Pool supports any SHA-256 ASIC miner (e.g., Antminer S21, WhatsMiner M63, Avalon A1566,Bitaxe Gamma 601, etc.).
Go to your miner’s dashboard and locate the “Pool Settings” section. Then, enter the following information:
Stratum URL:
stratum+tcp://parasite.wtfPort:
42069Username format:
[email protected]
Example:
[email protected]
- Password:
Any password (this field is not checked)
Once configured, save your settings and reboot your miner if necessary.
Checklist Before Mining
- Brand new Xverse wallet created
- Connected to parasite.sati.pro and copied static ln address
- ASIC miner properly configured with correct stratum, port, and username format
- Miner is online and submitting shares
You can monitor your miner’s activity on https://parasite.sati.pro by reconnecting your Xverse wallet.

Participation involves risks including:
- Market volatility
- Hardware failure

- Lack of short-term rewards
Mining Bitcoin is inherently speculative. Do your own research and consider your financial situation before participating.
Final Thoughts
Parasite Pool offers a novel approach to Bitcoin mining—eliminating fees, embracing decentralization, and rewarding both block finders and regular contributors. If you’re a pleb miner looking for a fairer playing field, this pool might be worth exploring.
Just remember: it’s early. And with early adoption comes both opportunity and risk.
