What is a solo mining pool?

A solo mining pool coordinates individual miners independently. If you find a block, you keep the majority of the reward. You never share rewards with other miners.

How does the payout work?

When your miner finds a block, your wallet address is embedded directly in the coinbase transaction — the first transaction in the block that creates new coins. The network itself sends the reward to your wallet after one confirmation. No manual withdrawal needed, no pool balance to clear.

What address formats do you support?

Use your coin's native address format. For BCH: CashAddr (bitcoincash:q...) or legacy (1...). For DGB: native DGB address (dgb1q...). Never mix addresses between coins.

What is the pool fee?

BCH: 0.5% of the block reward, deducted only when you find a block. DGB: 0% at launch. No connection fees, no inactivity fees.

Is the connection encrypted?

Plain TCP is standard for mining. Use the TLS port (3334 for BCH, 3336 for DGB) for encrypted connections.

Q: What's the difference between solo pool mining and regular pool mining?

In a regular (shared) pool, all miners combine their hashrate and split every block reward proportionally — small, frequent payouts. In a solo pool, each miner works independently. If your miner finds a block, you keep the reward (minus a small fee); if someone else finds one, you get nothing. Solo mining is higher variance (lottery-style). Regular pool mining smooths that into steady small payments. At low hashrates like a Bitaxe, a regular pool gives more predictable income, while solo gives a small chance at a full block reward.

General

No. You connect using your wallet address as your username. No email, no password, no personal data stored.

In a regular (shared) pool, all miners combine their hashrate and split every block reward proportionally. You get small, frequent payouts regardless of who actually found the block. In a solo pool like this one, each miner works independently. If your miner finds a block, you keep the full reward (minus a small fee). If someone else finds one, you get nothing. Solo mining is higher variance — it's like a lottery. Regular pool mining smooths out that variance into steady small payments. At low hashrates (e.g. a Bitaxe), a regular pool gives more predictable income, while solo mining gives you a small chance at a full block reward.

At 500 GH/s the statistical average is multiple years. Luck is random — some miners find one in days, most never do. This is lottery mining.

No. We never hold your coins. Your address is written into the coinbase transaction of the block itself — the network sends the reward directly to your wallet. We never touch the funds.

Our stratum servers are based in Europe. This gives EU miners lower latency and more stable connections.

Payouts

When your miner finds a block, your wallet address is embedded directly in the coinbase transaction — the first transaction in every block that creates new coins. The network itself sends the reward to your wallet after one confirmation. No manual withdrawal, no pool balance to clear.

No. Your full payout is sent after one block confirmation. There is no balance system and no minimum.

Use your coin's native address format. BCH: bitcoincash:q... or legacy 1.... DGB: dgb1q.... BTC: bc1q... or bc1p.... XEC: ecash:q.... PPC: pc1q... or legacy P.... NMC: N... or M.... Never mix addresses between coins.

Typically 10–15 minutes. One network confirmation is required before we send the payout.

Fees vary by coin: DGB and NMC are 0%, BCH and PPC are 0.5%, BTC and XEC are 1%. The fee is only deducted when you find a block — no connection fees, no inactivity fees.

Technical

Stratum V1. BCH: port 3333 (plain TCP) or 3334 (TLS). DGB: port 3335 (plain TCP) or 3336 (TLS).

Check your local network first. Some ISPs throttle standard ports — try the TLS port instead: 3334 for BCH, 3336 for DGB. Verify your wallet address is valid for the coin you're mining.

Yes. Use the same wallet address with different worker names: youraddress.bitaxe1, youraddress.nerdqaxe1, etc. Workers can mine the same coin or different coins independently.

Bitcoin Cash Node (BCHN) for BCH, and digibyted for DGB. Blocks are validated and broadcast immediately when found.

Security

No. We only know your wallet address. We have no private keys and cannot sign transactions on your behalf.

We store your wallet address, worker names, and standard server logs. No names, emails, or other personal data. See our Privacy Policy.

Plain TCP is standard for mining. Use the TLS port for encrypted connections: 3334 for BCH, 3336 for DGB.
