1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / [ANN] PBpool – A Lightweight, Self-Hosted Solo Mining Pool (Beta – Needs Communi on: March 29, 2025, 02:13:36 PM
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) 

How to Get Started
1. Clone the repo: 
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/HugoXOX3/PBpool.git
   ```
2. Follow the [README](https://github.com/HugoXOX3/PBpool#readme) for setup. 
3. Mine solo and **report issues on GitHub**! 

Join the Development
Let’s build a **community-driven solo mining tool** together! Contribute by: 
- ⭐ **Starring the repo** (helps visibility) 
- 🐛 **Submitting bug reports** 
- 💡 **Suggesting features** 

--- 

Why This Post Works:
1. **Clear Value Prop** – Highlights PBpool’s *unique benefits* upfront. 
2. **Transparent Beta Callout** – Manages expectations while inviting collaboration. 
3. **Actionable Requests** – Directly asks for testing, stars, and feedback. 
4. **Bitcointailored Tone** – Appeals to decentralization-focused miners. 

Optional Add-Ons: 
- Add a **screenshot** of the miner stats output. 
- Include a **testnet guide** for risk-free experimentation. 
- Link to a **Telegram/Discord group** for real-time discussion. 

Let me know if you'd like tweaks! This format balances promotion with a call for community growth. 🚀
