How Solo Mining Works

Simple idea.
Honest odds.

You point your miner at our pool. It searches for a valid block. If it finds one, 99.5% of the reward goes to your wallet. No shared rewards. No custodial balance.

2
Miner connects and submits shares
The pool receives your work and uses it to search the blockchain for the next valid block.
3
We relay your work to the network
Our node stays connected and keeps your miner updated with the latest block template.
4
Your miner finds a block (if lucky)
When a share meets full network difficulty, it's a valid block. This is the lottery moment.
5
We submit the block instantly
Our node broadcasts the block. The network validates and confirms it.
6
Reward sent to your wallet
Full block reward minus pool fee (if any) sent on-chain to your wallet address. No withdrawal needed.
Solo vs Shared

What makes solo different.

Solo mining and shared-reward pools are two very different models.

Solo mining — this pool

Winner takes all

If your miner finds a block, you keep 99.5% of the reward. Other miners on the pool don't get a cut.

Full block reward when you win
No minimum payout threshold
No custodial balance
Low fee (0–0.5%), only on a win
Direct on-chain payout
Shared-reward pools

Steady small payouts

Miners combine hashrate and share every block reward proportionally. Regular small payments.

Regular payouts regardless of luck
Reward is split proportionally
Usually requires minimum balance
Higher fees (1–3% typical)
Custodial balance system
Fee Structure

Simple fees. Nothing hidden.

You are only ever charged when you actually win something.

Honest About the Odds

This is lottery mining.

We want to be upfront. These numbers are rough averages — luck is random.

Statistical average
At 500 GH/s the average is multiple years. Some miners win in days. Most never do.

Solo mining is not a reliable income source. It's a low-cost way to participate in the network with a small chance of winning a meaningful block reward. As long as your miner is submitting shares, it is working correctly — even if you haven't won yet.
