Operator disclosureThese are SoloLuck's Bitcoin Cash and DigiByte pools, run by the same operator as SoloLuck's Bitcoin pool (
Bitcoin thread).
All six DigiByte blocks this pool has found so far were mined by machines the operator runs. They show how the pool pays a block, with the whole reward going to the address that mined it. They do not show that an outside miner has been paid, because no outside miner has found a block here yet.
Bitcoin CashWhat it isIt is true per-miner solo mining on ckpool. Your Bitcoin Cash address is your stratum username. If your machine solves a block, the network pays the whole reward, 3.125 BCH plus fees, straight to that address in the coinbase. The pool keeps no balance and has no payout threshold, so there is nothing for anyone to hold or freeze.
Blocks found so far: none.
ConnectPlain: stratum+tcp://bch.sololuck.io:3333
TLS: stratum+ssl://bch.sololuck.io:3334
Username: your Bitcoin Cash address in CashAddr form WITHOUT the "bitcoincash:" prefix
(some miner firmware rejects the colon), optionally .workername
Password: anything, e.g. x
There is one port for every size of machine. Each connection starts at share difficulty 1,024, and vardiff then settles it where your hashrate belongs, down to a floor of 1. The SoloLuck Miner app and NerdMiner firmware ask for a low starting difficulty themselves.
Your stats page is sololuck.io/users/<your CashAddr>. The first figures appear within a couple of minutes of your first accepted share.
Use a Bitcoin Cash address onlyThe pool page says:
Use a Bitcoin Cash address only. A Bitcoin-format address (1…, 3…, bc1…) is not refused at login and would not pay your Bitcoin wallet.
Once the prefix is removed, a CashAddr starts with q or p. The pool checks the CashAddr checksum at login and refuses a mistyped address. The address box on
sololuck.io/bch also warns you about a Bitcoin-format address before you start.
The oddsBitcoin Cash uses the same SHA-256 mining as Bitcoin, but its network is much smaller. The same machine therefore has far better odds of finding a block, for a far smaller prize: 3.125 BCH instead of 3.125 BTC.
The average time to a block is difficulty × 2^32 ÷ your hashrate. With each chain's difficulty on 18 September 2026:
Machine Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin
Bitaxe-class 1.2 TH/s about 47 years about 14,455 years
S21-class 200 TH/s about 3.4 months about 87 years
These are averages, not schedules. A block can come tomorrow or never, and nobody can promise you one. Current figures are on the pool page.
Mining from a PCSoloLuck Miner v1.11.5 (17 September) made Bitcoin Cash work on a PC. The pool starts every connection at difficulty 1,024. At a PC's speed that means hours per share, and vardiff only lowers the difficulty after it has seen shares, so a PC on an earlier build could mine for hours without a single share reaching the pool. The app and the Linux/macOS scripts now ask the pool for its lowest difficulty when they connect, and a PC's shares show up within minutes. A PC's chance of finding a block is still tiny.
Windows: SoloLuck Miner (sololuck.io/setup) -> Chain: Bitcoin Cash -> paste your CashAddr -> Start
macOS: curl -fLO https://sololuck.io/mac-miner.sh && bash mac-miner.sh --bch your-cashaddr
Linux: curl -fLO https://sololuck.io/linux-miner.sh && bash linux-miner.sh --bch your-cashaddr
Read a script before you run it. Checksums, the GPG key and the source are linked from
sololuck.io/setup.
DigiByte (SHA256d)SHA256d onlyDigiByte runs five mining algorithms side by side: SHA256d, Scrypt, Skein, Qubit and Odocrypt. Each one wins roughly one block in five, which works out to about one SHA256d block every 75 seconds. This pool mines only the SHA256d lane. The SHA-256 hardware that mines Bitcoin (Bitaxe, NerdQAxe, Avalon, Antminer, Whatsminer) works here unchanged. Hardware for the other four algorithms cannot mine here.
ConnectHost: digibyte.sololuck.io
Username: your DigiByte address (D..., S... or dgb1...), optionally .workername
Password: anything, e.g. x
Port Tier Min diff Suits
3341 nano 1 under ~1.3 TH/s (NerdMiner, Bitaxe class)
3340 general 1,024 ~1.3 TH/s to ~169 TH/s (one ASIC, or a few)
4340 big iron 131,072 ~169 TH/s and up (farms)
Example: stratum+tcp://digibyte.sololuck.io:3340
The minimum difficulty only sets how often your miner reports in. It does not change your odds of finding a block. There is no TLS port on the DigiByte pool at the moment.
Use a DigiByte address. The address box on
sololuck.io/dgb accepts D…, S… and dgb1…. It refuses 3…, which is Bitcoin's script prefix and one the DigiByte node rejects, as well as dgbt1… (testnet). It also tells you when you've pasted a Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin or Ethereum-style address. Once your address is in, the page links to your own logbook.

Each block's first transaction is its coinbase. It has one spendable output carrying the whole reward (253.56 DGB for each of these six) to the address that mined it, plus the zero-value segwit commitment every block carries, and it is tagged /sololuck.io/. You can check all of this on any DigiByte explorer.
The oddsThe average time to a block is difficulty × 2^32 ÷ your hashrate. At DigiByte's SHA256d difficulty on 18 September 2026, which moves from block to block:
Bitaxe-class 1.2 TH/s about one block every 3 to 4 weeks
S21-class 200 TH/s about one block every 3 to 4 hours
These are averages, not schedules. The odds are the same on every block, and a block can take much longer than the average. A DigiByte block is worth far less than a Bitcoin block, and that is the trade-off. The pool-wide figure, which counts every miner here together, is live on the pool page.
Check it yourself- Every job the pool sends includes the complete coinbase transaction. Decode it and you'll see the whole reward paying your own address and nothing paying the pool. How to check.
- Three Bitcoin Cash nodes at two sites stand behind the stratum, and failover has been tested with live connections, not just assumed.
- Pool hashrate, miners, workers and the best share so far are live on sololuck.io/bch, and in machine-readable form at sololuck.io/api/bch.
Good to know- Solo mining pays only when your own machine solves a block. There are no small regular payouts, and no income is promised.
- Mine to an address whose keys you hold. Many exchanges don't credit coinbase (mining) deposits.
- Once you connect, your address and worker names are public on the stats pages.
- SoloLuck never messages first, and never asks for a seed phrase or a deposit. The official website is sololuck.io and the official Telegram is t.me/SoloLuckPool.
