Common questions.

A solo mining pool coordinates individual miners so each miner searches for a block independently. If you find a block, you keep the full reward minus our fee. You do not share rewards with other miners, and you never receive a cut of someone else's block.

It depends on your hashrate and current BCH network difficulty. A Bitaxe at 500 GH/s has roughly a 1-in-5-million chance per block attempt. The statistical average to find a block at that hashrate is multiple years. Luck is random — some miners find one in days, most never do. That's the nature of lottery mining.

No. We never hold your BCH. There is no balance system. When a block is found, the reward is paid directly to the wallet address you use as your mining username. The payout is an on-chain transaction, not an internal credit.

Our stratum servers are based in Europe. This gives European miners lower latency and more stable connections. We run Bitcoin Cash Node (BCHN) for block validation and submission.

When your miner finds a valid BCH block, we submit it to the network immediately. Once confirmed (usually one confirmation, ~10 minutes), the full block reward minus our 0.9% fee is sent on-chain to your BCH address. No manual withdrawal needed, ever.

No. The full reward is sent after one block confirmation. There is no balance system and no minimum threshold. You either win the full block reward or nothing — that's how solo mining works.

Both CashAddr format (bitcoincash:q...) and legacy format (1...) are supported. We recommend CashAddr. Do not use a Bitcoin (BTC) address — they look similar but are different networks and BCH sent to a BTC address cannot be recovered.

Typically 10–15 minutes. One BCH network confirmation is required before we send the payout. BCH produces blocks every ~10 minutes on average, so your wallet should show the incoming transaction within that window.

0.9% of the block reward, deducted only when you find a block. For a 3.125 BCH block reward that's approximately 0.028 BCH. There are no fees for connecting, submitting shares, or being online without finding a block.

Stratum V1 on port 3333, and Stratum V1 over TLS on port 3334. Most Bitaxe and NerdQaxe devices work on port 3333. Use port 3334 if your device supports TLS and you prefer encrypted connections.

First check your local network — a wired connection is more reliable than WiFi. Verify the host (stratum.solopool.eu) and port (3333) are correct. Some ISPs throttle traffic on port 3333 — try port 3334 as an alternative. If your BCH address is invalid, the stratum server will reject the connection.

Yes. Use the same BCH address with different worker names. For example: youraddress.bitaxe1, youraddress.nerdqaxe1, youraddress.lucky1. If any of your miners find a block, the reward goes to your shared BCH address.

We run Bitcoin Cash Node (BCHN). Blocks are validated and broadcast to the network immediately when found. We follow BCHN consensus rules and stay current with network upgrades.

No. We focus exclusively on BCH solo mining. We don't offer merge mining, alternative coins, or shared-reward pools.

No. We only know your wallet address, which you supply as your username. We have no private keys to your wallet and cannot sign transactions on your behalf. Payouts are sent directly to the address you configure — we have no way to redirect them.

We do not collect or store personal information. The only data we hold is your BCH wallet address (used as username), optional worker names, and standard server logs (IP address, share timestamps, connection events). See our Privacy Policy for details.

By default, port 3333 is unencrypted plain TCP — this is standard for most home miners and the stratum protocol. If you want encryption, use port 3334 which runs Stratum V1 over TLS. Mining data is not sensitive, but TLS is available if you prefer it.

Parts of our infrastructure use open source software including BCHN and standard stratum libraries. Our pool-specific code is not currently public but we may release it in the future. Check our GitHub page for what's available.
