[ANN] OwnBlock — Professional Monero (XMR) SOLO Mining Pool | Direct Coinbase PayoutsWe are introducing
OwnBlock, a professional SOLO mining pool for Monero (XMR), built for miners who prefer to compete for complete block rewards rather than participate in a PPLNS or PPS payout scheme.
This is SOLO mining.Every miner operates independently. Your hashrate is not combined with other miners for reward distribution. If your worker finds a valid Monero block, the block reward belongs to you, minus the pool fee.
OwnBlock was designed for professional miners, mining farms, high-performance CPU operators, and miners using rented hashrate who understand the variance involved in SOLO mining.
Key features•
100% SOLO mining — no PPLNS and no PPS
•
Direct coinbase payouts — rewards are paid directly through the block's coinbase transaction
•
No custodial miner balance — the pool does not hold your mining reward waiting for withdrawal
•
No KYC•
2% pool fee•

NiceHash compatible•

Telegram block notificationsDirect coinbase payoutsOne of the core design decisions behind OwnBlock is avoiding the traditional pool-account model.
When an OwnBlock miner finds a block, the miner's portion of the reward is assigned directly in the coinbase transaction. The pool fee is deducted at the coinbase level.
There is therefore no accumulated miner balance held by OwnBlock and no manual withdrawal process for a successfully mined block.

If you want frequent proportional payouts from the combined work of thousands of miners, a PPLNS/PPS pool is probably a better fit.
OwnBlock is designed for miners who intentionally choose SOLO mining and accept its statistical variance in exchange for the possibility of receiving the block reward when their own hashrate finds a block.
This is particularly relevant for:
• Professional Monero miners
• Mining farms
• High-hashrate CPU deployments
• NiceHash users
• MiningRigRentals users
• Miners testing short-term hashrate strategies
• Operators who want direct, non-custodial reward distribution
TransparencyPool statistics, connected hashrate, miners and discovered blocks are publicly visible.
For Monero, OwnBlock publishes verification information that can be used to independently audit the relevant on-chain activity.

If you operate significant RandomX hashrate, use rented hashrate, or have experience with SOLO mining infrastructure, we would especially appreciate technical feedback regarding connectivity, latency, share handling and overall pool performance.
Questions are welcome in this thread.
