[ANN] FindMyBlock.xyz – BTC EU SOLO POOL / Home Miners are Welcome !

[findmyblock]

Hello Bitcoin enthusiasts!

I’m excited to introduce FindMyBlock.xyz, a new solo-mining pool designed by and for miners who live and breathe Bitcoin. Whether you’re running ASIC or small miners like bitaxes or avalon nano , our platform offers:

0% fees and 100 % solo mining

Real-time statistics dashboard to track your hashrate and earnings

Just mining and get some Badges, xp and levels (rewards soon)

Built-in referral program to grow with friends

As a longtime miner and Bitcoin advocate, I built this pool to solve the frustrations I’ve seen: slow pool, complicated setup, clunky interfaces, and hidden fees. Now, I’d love to hear from you!

Please give FindMyBlock a try and share (and win your first badge) your honest feedback. What works well? What could be smoother? Any features you’d love to see? Your insights will help me make the pool even better for everyone.

Jump in here → https://findmyblock.xyz/ ← and let me know your thoughts in this thread. I’ll be reading every comment and rolling out updates based on your suggestions.

Thanks for your support, and happy mining!

Built-in referral program to grow with friends

Your thread mention referral program, but your website doesn't mention anything about it.

0% fees and 100 % solo mining

Just mining and get some Badges, xp and levels (rewards soon)

What kind of reward you're talking about? I don't expect it's financial reward since your pool claim to have 0% fee.

[findmyblock]

Hi, maybe? To answer your two questions:

You can access your referral link once you've submitted a share to the pool. Since no registration is required, your Bitcoin address acts as your unique identifier.

The levels, rewards, and XP are simply there to gamify solo mining, which can sometimes feel a bit tedious. There aren't any financial actual rewards involved.

This is a personal project, self-funded – that's why i offer 0% fees and because i've found pools boring in general ever since I started mining in 2017.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate.

[Nexus9090]

Are you another one of these pool operators that just pretends to run a pool but instead proxy forwards shares to another PPLNS service so you get everyone else to pay for your hashrate without ever having a chance of winning a block?

Always sceptical of "noobie" pool operators, your account here is new, you've no history of interaction with anyone that's been posting here for years.

Why would anyone trust you with their hard earned hashrate when you've litterally no credibility?

[findmyblock]

I understand your skepticism, you're absolutely right that my account is new, but I want to clarify something important: I've been lurking and reading this forum for years since I started mining in 2017. I simply never had a reason to create an account until now because I was just learning and consuming information rather than contributing or running a project.

The reason I'm creating an account now is specifically because I've built something I believe can help the community - a solo mining pool - and I want to get feedback from experienced miners, who have been active here for years.

Also, from browsing this forum for a long time, I've seen countless supposedly 'old' accounts presenting scam projects, and it's certainly very easy to buy these accounts. So for me, an old account doesn't have any more credibility than my new one.

About your main Question :

No, I am absolutely not proxying shares to another PPLNS service. Let me be crystal clear about how my pool operates:

When you connect to my pool, your Bitcoin address is used directly in the coinbase transaction

Block rewards go straight from the Bitcoin network to your address, never touching any pool-controlled wallets

0% fees because I can't take any: The technical architecture makes it impossible for me to intercept or take fees from block rewards

You can verify this on the blockchain - if a block is found, the reward transaction will show your address as the direct recipient

and for Noobie" Pool Operator :

I'm fully aware that credibility and trust must be earned over time, and beyond presenting my project, I don't expect anyone to simply take my word for it. That said, the skepticism you raise applies equally to every other solo mining pool out there. This project has consumed countless hours of my time

and continues to do so - it was never created with the intention of making any money.

[Nexus9090]

Good luck.,

But there are many solo mining pools with a proven track record. I doubt you'll get much support to be honest.

I certainly wouldn't touch it with a barge pole until you've got a proven track record.


Just out of interest who's pool code are you running or is this something of your own making?

[findmyblock]

thanks 

I'm fully aware that other pools have established reputations and have already paid out blocks, but isn't the whole point to decentralize Bitcoin as much as possible?

Whether miners join or not, I'm running this project primarily for myself and a small community i've built through my YouTube channel. I'm specifically targeting small miners - I'm not really interested in attracting large operations, though they're welcome if they want to join.

I understand your caution about new pools, and i respect that. Building trust takes time, and i'm prepared to earn it through consistent operation and transparent results.

Regarding your question about the pool code - this is my own implementation. I spent considerable time studying what was available in the ecosystem before building it from scratch. I'll likely make it open source in the future, which should address some of the transparency concerns.

At the end of the day, every established pool started somewhere. The Bitcoin mining ecosystem benefits from diversity and competition. If my pool helps even a handful of small miners participate in solo mining with better transparency and zero fees, then it's serving its purpose.

I'm not expecting immediate widespread adoption - I'm building this for the long term, for my community, and for the principle of Bitcoin decentralization.

Thanks for giving me your opinion anyway !

[findmyblock]

We are pleased to announce that the pool has been successfully upgraded to a new version, delivering improved responsiveness, enhanced stability, and a smoother overall mining experience. This update is another step forward in building a solid and reliable foundation for miners who value independence and true decentralization within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

We would like to sincerely thank all the miners who have already joined and contributed to this journey. Your support strengthens the path toward sustainable solo mining and reinforces the principles Bitcoin was built upon.

What do you think of a merge mined coin like ixcoin? I would like to fork and create another one. Just thought it would be good for miners and could help cover mining costs. Like a second reward  for mining Bitcoin

That is irrelevant here. This area is ONLY for Bitcoin. No discussion of alts is allowed here.
