Thanks everyone for the honest and constructive feedback — I really appreciate it.
You're right to be skeptical of a Newbie account. SoloFury was born just a few weeks ago. I originally built it for myself and a few friends who wanted to solo mine with our S21+ rigs. After putting a lot of work into it, I decided to open it up for everyone. Without a beginning, there can be no history — and this is our beginning.
REGARDING TRUST AND PAYOUTS:
SoloFury runs in solo mode (-B flag on CKPool/EloPool). This means all payouts are DIRECT and TRUSTLESS. When a miner finds a block, the coinbase transaction is automatically created with:
- 99% of the block reward → directly to the miner's wallet address
- 1% pool fee → to the pool operator address
I never touch your coins. The network itself distributes the reward. You don't need to trust me — it's exactly the same mechanism as solo.ckpool.org. You can verify everything on-chain.
Here are the pool fee addresses for full transparency:
BCH: qqzzfl7t96ttp6lg6ryvwl25446afsec3gtnr0v98s
BTC: bc1qavkkpqsu7sagplrt4x90u023tljj3hdvn0tlw9
BC2: bc1qemgnkuqhzkdtvzxhe7y33n4tseetvsq0sfxjqa
XEC: ecash:qpzgvjtxf6zyqkm6lwzwa4r4hnpdtp8shyp5drf8tf
REGARDING AUTO VARDIFF:
Great catch on the difficulty! This has actually been fixed — the pool now runs full automatic vardiff for all miners. Whether you connect a Bitaxe at 500 GH/s or a 500 PH/s hashrate rental, the pool automatically adjusts difficulty to ~1 share every 10 seconds. No need to manually set d= in the password, although it's still supported for those who prefer manual control.
REGARDING BC2 PORTS:
Thank you for catching the port mismatch! I'll update the announcement. And thanks for giving the BC2 pool a try — I hope it works well for you.
REGARDING FORUM SECTION:
Fair point. SoloFury supports BTC but it's primarily a multi-coin pool. Mods, feel free to move this thread to Alt-Coins if more appropriate.
I have great respect for CKPool — SoloFury actually runs on EloPool, which is a CKPool fork. I'm not competing with established pools. I'm just a miner who built something for himself and wants to share it with the community.
There will be more improvements — I'm working on this every day. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.
