Is there any service where you can just get your own private mining pool without all the technical setup?

I looked into running my own node but apparently it takes days to sync and you need to know what you're doing server-side, keep config correct, make sure it stays online etc. Seems like a lot of work just to start mining.

Would be nice to just sign up, get my own private stratum URL and point my miners to it. No waiting days for blockchain to sync, no server knowledge required.

No shared pool, no fees, and I need to be sure — "this is my own node, nobody else uses it, no hidden fees".

Even if it costs a few dollars a month I'd be happy to pay for something like that instead of dealing with all the setup.

Does anything like this exist?

I have got cheap working Goldshell AL Box 3, ALPH coin miner just for $100, i did try mining, but for energy 600w it does nothing, i mean completely not profitable.

Lets look what inside of it

Two fans provide air out

All details inside looks very nice quiality and solid.

mother boart on top, acic chips under heatsink

other side

here is 38 acic chips! i would love to have 38 Bitaxe Gamma BM1370 chip here instead

interesting heatsink on other side basically glued with thermal paste to all surface

and ASICs PCB actually metallic, not fiberglass

trepanated patient still alive!

Happy hashing!

Finally DOGE pool was synced, i think it took 3 or 4 days, and created personal stratum web server

I did simulate block found event on web UI, but completely was not able to simulate sending fake stratum results to miner to see on its display "block found" message, this is specific thing for Scrypt protocol. Also showing "best diff" not work as i expected, i would like to see BD increased during miner work, but it stays of same value = flat, or using vardiff it something like "incremental value" of miner's work.

Dont know if it really works but it was fun.

Dashboard

can see 11 checks if all ok

and run node console commands from UI
