I’m excited to announce **PBpool**, a lightweight, self-hosted solo mining pool software that lets you **keep 100% of block rewards** with no middlemen or fees. Designed for miners who value **decentralization and control**, PBpool connects directly to your Bitcoin node and supports **ASICs, GPUs, and Python miners**.
🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/HugoXOX3/PBpool
Why PBpool?
✅ **100% Solo Mining** – Rewards go *straight to your wallet*
✅ **No Fees** – Unlike traditional pools, you keep every satoshi
✅ **Easy Setup** – Works with Bitcoin Core and common mining software
✅ **Persistent Tracking** – Miner stats survive restarts/crashes
Call for Community Support (Beta Phase)
PBpool is **functional but needs testing** to grow into a robust solution. We’re looking for:
- **Testers** to run nodes and report bugs
- **Developers** to improve features (Stratum support, monitoring, etc.)
- **Feedback** on setup, performance, and documentation
Current Limitations (Help Wanted!):
- Limited to HTTP API (Stratum protocol planned)
- Needs more real-world hash rate testing
- UI/UX improvements (e.g., web dashboard)

```
2. Follow the [README](https://github.com/HugoXOX3/PBpool#readme) for setup.
3. Mine solo and **report issues on GitHub**!
