🏊 Solo Mining Pool Rankings — Live Luck Scores for 30+ Pools




Why does pool choice matter for solo mining?

Your per-TH/s odds are mathematically identical on every solo pool — but pools vary massively in real-world performance. Some run at 200%+ luck. Others drag at 40%. Most miners have no idea there's a difference until they've been dry for months.

We just launched a live pool comparison tool at soloblocks.io/pools to fix that.



What you get:

  • Live luck scores — 24h / 7d / 30d for every major solo pool
  • Hashrate estimates — how much combined power is pointed at each pool
  • USD earned per day — based on current BTC price and block frequency
  • Stratum connection info — exact URL, port, and username format for each pool
  • 30+ pools tracked — CKPool Solo, OCEAN, Public Pool, FutureBit, Braiins Solo, NiceHash EasyMining, and more



What is "pool luck"?

Luck = (blocks found ÷ blocks expected) × 100

100% = exactly on target
200% = found twice as many blocks as expected — very lucky
50% = found half the expected blocks — unlucky streak

Important: Bitcoin mining is a Poisson process — each block attempt is independent. A pool that has been unlucky is NOT statistically "due" a win. What luck scores tell you is whether the pool has active hashrate and working infrastructure right now.

We use 30d as the primary signal — short windows (24h) are mostly noise.



Pools covered:

CKPool Solo · OCEAN · Public Pool · FutureBit · Braiins Solo · NiceHash EasyMining · RedRock Pool · SBI Crypto · EMCD · NTminer · Poolin · iMine · CloverPool · 21Pool · Headframe · and more



Expand any pool row to see three panels:
  • Value Mined — estimated USD earned based on luck and block reward
  • Power Estimate — what hashrate is needed to match this pool's output
  • Connect — stratum URL, port, username format, ready to paste into your miner



Free, no login required. Data updates every hour from mempool.space.

SoloBlocks.io also tracks every solo block found in real time — soloblocks.io

Isn't "Solo Pool" an oxymoron? You are either mining solo, or you are mining with a pool, it can't be both.

no you can be on a solo pool as it only pays the person that hit the block.

Many years ago after a lot of begging from myself and others ck made a solo pool that

has paid out full blocks to many winners including my self

If the block only pays the person that mines it, how is it a "pool"?
