How Solo Mining Works

Simple idea.
Honest odds.

You point your miner at our pool. It searches for a valid Bitcoin Cash block. If it finds one, the full reward goes to your wallet. No shared rewards. No custodial balance. Just you and the hash.

1
You configure your miner
Set the stratum host, port, and your BCH address as the username. Takes about two minutes.

2
Your miner connects and submits shares
The pool receives your miner's work — called shares — and uses them to search the BCH blockchain for the next valid block.
3
We relay your work to the BCH network
Our node stays connected to the BCH network and keeps your miner updated with the latest block template. Your miner always works on current data.
4
Your miner finds a valid block (if lucky)
When a share meets the full network difficulty, it's a valid block. This is the lottery moment — rare, but it happens.
5
We submit the block to the BCH network
Instantly. Our node broadcasts the block. The BCH network validates and confirms it, usually within 10 minutes.
6
Block reward sent to your wallet
The full block reward — currently 3.125 BCH — minus our 0.9% fee is sent on-chain to the BCH address you used as your username. No withdrawal needed.
Solo vs Shared Reward
What makes solo different.

Solo mining and shared-reward pools are two different models. Here's how they compare.

Solo mining — this pool

Winner takes all

Your miner works independently. If it finds a block, you keep the entire reward. Other miners on the pool don't get a cut. You never share rewards — and you never receive a share of someone else's either.

Full block reward when you win
No minimum payout threshold
No custodial balance
Very low fee — only charged on a win
Direct on-chain payout
Shared-reward pools

Steady small payouts

Miners combine their hashrate and share every block reward proportionally. You receive small, regular payments based on your contributed shares. More predictable, but the payout per block is divided across many miners.

Regular small payouts regardless of luck
Reward is split proportionally
Usually requires a 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.

What Cost When Notes
Pool fee 0.9% Block found only Deducted from block reward before payout
Connection fee Free Never No charge to connect or stay connected
Inactivity fee Free Never Mine as much or as little as you like
Withdrawal fee N/A Never There is no balance — payout is direct on-chain
Example (3.125 BCH block) 0.028 BCH On win You receive ≈ 3.097 BCH
Honest About the Odds
This is lottery mining.

We want to be upfront. These numbers are rough averages — luck is random and these are not predictions.

~500 GH/s
Bitaxe hashrate
A typical Bitaxe 401 or NerdQaxe. This is a starting point — actual hashrate varies by device and tuning.
1-in-5M
Chance per block attempt
Rough probability for a 500 GH/s device against current BCH network difficulty. Changes as difficulty adjusts.
Years
Average time to find a block
At 500 GH/s the statistical average is multiple years. Some miners find one in days. Most never do.

Solo mining is not a reliable income source. It is a low-cost way to participate in the Bitcoin Cash network with a small chance of winning a meaningful block reward. Treat it like a lottery ticket that runs 24/7 and costs you a small amount in electricity. As long as your miner is submitting shares, it is working correctly — even if you haven't won yet.
