What this is

base.basedmining.xyz is the Base-chain home for BasedMining miners, and the sister site to hood.basedmining.xyz. BasedMining is a Bitcoin mining pool; this site is not the pool. It reads the same shared backend everything else reads, and frames it for the Base side.

Almost everything here is read-only: the figures, the leaderboard and your own page all work without a wallet, and connecting one does not move anything. The two exceptions are deliberate and both are yours to start — setting your profile picture asks for a signature, which costs nothing and moves nothing, and minting a rig is a real purchase, which today happens on basedmining.xyz.

The pool numbers are pool-wide

The hashrate, the miner count and the block count on the dashboard are the whole pool, not the Base share of it. Every collection mines into the same pool, and there is one number for how fast it is going.

The leaderboard is also pool-wide. Every miner in the pool is on it, ranked the same way; holders carry a face and everyone else a truncated address. Both are real miners with real ranks.

Blocks found and blocks contributed to

These are different numbers and this site never mixes them. Blocks FOUND is how many blocks the pool has solved. Blocks CONTRIBUTED TO is how many blocks a miner sent shares toward — a miner can have contributed to dozens without the pool ever having found one.

The leaderboard column is contributions. The dashboard figure is finds. When the pool has found none, the dashboard says so in those words rather than showing a zero with no explanation.

Your own numbers

A miner page takes a BTC mining address, a 0x wallet, or a basename, and resolves all three to the same view. Live hashrate and the rig list come from the pool’s own files; round share and work contributed come from the rollup and are a few minutes behind, which the page says where it shows them.

A holder usually mines under several addresses — one per rig, derived from their wallet. The pool adds those up before answering, so the headline hashrate is the whole wallet, and the page says how many addresses went into it.

What a rig card says

Every BasedMiners token shows one of four states, and every one of them comes from the pool rather than from this site: mining, delivered, in queue, or failed. A card cannot say "in queue" because that is the default — there is no default.

Mining means shares are arriving now. Delivered means the rental ran and finished. In queue means it was minted and its rental has not been placed. Failed means the window passed without a single share, which is worth asking about.

Who can mine here

Anyone. Point hashpower at the pool and you appear on the leaderboard with everyone else, ranked by the work you have contributed. There is no allowlist, no collection to buy first, and no wallet to connect — a miner with nothing but a BTC address is a full member of this board.

Holding one of our collections adds identity rather than access: a face on the leaderboard instead of a truncated address, badges on your own page, and first claim on whatever we build for holders next. It changes how you appear, not whether you appear.

What you hold is read from Base in one call at one block, and a check that fails is recorded as a failure rather than a zero. Telling someone they hold nothing because a read timed out is the one mistake this layer exists to prevent.

Names

A miner is shown by their basename, read from Base’s resolver. Where there is no basename, the address is shown truncated — that is not a failure, it is most wallets.

A name that fails to resolve is retried rather than remembered. Caching a failed lookup as "no name" is what made names flicker elsewhere; a name we did find is cached, a name that genuinely does not exist is cached, and a lookup that threw is not.

The rig tiers

Four tiers of rented hashpower, each running for one Block Party window. The pool mines in Block Parties, held the 1st of each month, starting 4:20 PM CT, running 24 hours. The pool buys that hashpower on the spot market when you mint, so what a tier delivers moves with network demand.

Hashpower is bought on the spot market at mint time, so the figures above are estimates from the current best ask rather than a guarantee. Your mint price in USD is fixed; the hashrate and duration are not. Minting is not switched on here yet.

What the numbers mean

Hashrate is hashes per second, scaled to the nearest thousand — TH/s, PH/s. A rig at 0 H/s is connected and not hashing; a figure we could not read is an em dash, and the state next to it says why.

Difficulty is the work a share represents. Best share is the highest a miner has ever submitted; it is a record, not a rate, and it does not go down.
