Solo Mining Quick Guide

Your BTC wallet address serves as your miner’s ID and is included in the block template.
This ensures that any reward goes directly to you and no one else.

Set one of the following addresses as the Pool URL on your miner:

stratum+tcp://solo.stratum.braiins.com:3333
stratum+tcp://solo.stratum.braiins.com:443
stratum+tcp://solo.stratum.braiins.com:25

Use your BTC address as the Username. Adding a Workername is optional.
<BTC Address>.<Optional Workername>


Why solo mining?

Solo mining is all about taking your shot at finding a block on your own. Yes, the odds might be 1-in-a-million, but for some, that’s the thrill. Unlike mining in pool, where you earn small, steady rewards, solo mining only pays out if you find a block yourself.

You might have a mini miner with just a few TH/s when earning a few sats a day does not justify the device and/or electricity costs. You may have a reasonable mining operation, and you just want to try your luck with a few machines. The payouts are high, and chances are scarce. But that does not mean you won’t find that lucky hash!

How does that work?

In solo mining, each user attempts to mine their own block. The block for each user differs primarily in the output of the coinbase transaction, where the user’s own bitcoin address is used. The coinbase reward goes directly to this address without any middleman. The rest of the blocks are the same for all solo miners — they all confirm the same set of transactions within the block.

The logic of mining remains the same. You still connect the mining devices under a worker name, and you still monitor your hashrate to see if your device is working properly. However, there are no sats being accumulated for you until you hit the jackpot and compute a hash that fulfills the network difficulty. In such a case, you will be rewarded with 3.125 BTC (valid for the current halving epoch) as a reward, plus any applicable transaction fees.

We only take away 0.5% of the overall reward to credit the authors of the CKPool software stack, which we currently use to provide solo mining for you. That’s also the reason why you’ll find two outputs in the coinbase transaction.

this sounds interesting, where are your solo servers located?

also, have mined at braiins for pool mining before, curious why this is now being rolled out?

Same as the normal pool: Czech Republic.
The mini miner users were demanding it!

Thanks for the answer, do you have any high difficulty ports for rentals or larger operations or are you just going to be focusing on small lotto miners?

Currently: "8k is starting difficulty and it's adjustable" (automatic). But demand is being monitored.

I like it.

Couple follow up questions for the mining dashboard:

1- Possible to see full list of workers?
2- Can I view my worker history?

Thanks,

OK This is good, I've been looking for a reputable alternative solo pool.

I'll give this a run on one of my BitAxes for a while and see what the results are like.

Thanks

Having had this running over night I've a couple of suggestions.

Can you add a rolling hashrate chart to the user stats page, only needs to cover 24 hours. Usefull for comparing with rented hashrates.

Also, can you add a refresh button onto the user stats pop-up and an automatic 5 minute refresh for it?

Otherwise, its all perfoming more or less as I'd expect though the pool difficulty is a little irratic to settle; 8000 then 600 then 1800 then 1100, then 797. its all over the place. It did eventually seem to settle at 1100 but it took a long time. I don't see this behaviour on solo.ckpool.org
