Point any SHA-256 ASIC at Bitcoin Cash, solo or pool, with ports sized for everything from a Bitaxe to a rented petahash.
Use a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) address as the username. Add .anyname after it to name each machine.

Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin in August 2017 to keep on-chain transactions cheap with bigger blocks. It uses the same SHA-256 proof of work, so any Bitcoin ASIC can mine it without changes, and its difficulty is far below Bitcoin's — a solo BCH block is a much more realistic target for a mid-size farm or rental.
Encrypted stratum is available too: stratum+tls://bcmonster.com:3663 (Pro) and 3667 (Elite), with 3664 / 3668 for solo.
x = pool (PPLNS), m=solo = solo (you keep the whole block). Or use the dedicated solo port.Minimum payout: 0.001 BCH.
stratum+tcp://bcmonster.com:3555 (Standard), 3556 (Pro / rentals), 3559 (Elite), or 9994 for ESP32 lottery miners. Username is your BCH address, password x for pool or m=solo for solo.
Yes. Set the password to m=solo, or use the solo ports (3557 Standard, 3558 Pro, 3560 Elite). If you find a block you keep the whole reward minus the 1.5% fee.
Yes. BCH uses the same SHA-256 algorithm, so any Bitcoin ASIC — Bitaxe, Antminer, Whatsminer, Avalon — can mine it. Just change the port and use a BCH address.
