⚡ SOLOMINERS — BITCOIN PROP-POOL ⚡Find the block. Share the win.A Bitcoin mining pool combining a substantial finder reward with opportunities for miners who contribute outstanding shares, consistent work and smaller amounts of hashpower.
● BTC PROP-POOL — LIVEWebsite: solominers.space/btcPool Rules: Read the full payout rules
🏆 WHY SOLOMINERS?Traditional SOLO mining pays the block reward to the miner who finds the block. At SoloMiners, the finder receives the largest individual reward, while other participating miners can also earn through our PROP reward system.
Our pool has five reward categories:
- Block Finder: The miner whose valid share solves the Bitcoin block.
- Top-1 — Best Share: The highest single accepted share difficulty in the round.
- Top-2 — Most Work: The miner contributing the greatest amount of accepted work.
- Random Winners: Two eligible smaller online miners.
- Work Pot: A proportional reward for the remaining eligible miners.
Our live dashboard shows the current standings, round effort, best shares, miner activity and estimated reward distribution.
⚙️ BUILT ON PUBLIC POOLSoloMiners BTC PROP Pool is based on the open-source
Public Pool project developed by Benjamin Wilson.
We have customized the backend with our own PROP reward distribution system, miner standings and live dashboard.
We acknowledge and thank the original developer and contributors for their work on Public Pool.

💰 HOW THE BLOCK REWARD IS DISTRIBUTEDThe following example uses the current 3.125 BTC block subsidy. Transaction fees are distributed separately according to the rules below.
| REWARD CATEGORY | ALLOCATION |
| 🏆 Block Finder | 2.0000 BTC |
| 🥇 Top-1 — Best Share | 0.3000 BTC + 50% of transaction fees |
| 🥈 Top-2 — Most Work | 0.3000 BTC + 50% of transaction fees |
| 🎲 Random Winner #1 | 0.0924 BTC |
| 🎲 Random Winner #2 | 0.0924 BTC |
| ⚙️ Pool Fee | 0.0625 BTC (2% of subsidy) |
| 💎 Work Pot | Approximately 0.2777 BTC |
TOTAL: 3.125 BTC + transaction feesThe exact amounts depend on the applicable block subsidy, transaction fees and whether every reward category has an eligible recipient.
If a reward slot has no eligible recipient, its allocation is added to the Work Pot.
🏆 1. BLOCK FINDER — 2 BTCThe miner whose valid share solves the Bitcoin block receives
2 BTC.
The finder is excluded from the other reward categories for that block.
The finder reward is included directly in the winning block's coinbase transaction rather than first being paid to the pool's wallet.
🥇 2. TOP-1 — BEST SHAREReward: 0.3 BTC + 50% of transaction feesTop-1 is awarded to the eligible miner with the highest single accepted share difficulty during the round.
This category recognizes an outstanding individual share, even if that share does not solve the block.
The block finder is excluded from Top-1.
Top-1 remains visible in the live standings even if that miner goes offline.
🥈 3. TOP-2 — MOST WORKReward: 0.3 BTC + 50% of transaction feesTop-2 is awarded to the eligible miner who contributes the greatest amount of accepted work during the round.
Unlike Best Share, this category recognizes accumulated mining work.
The block finder and Top-1 winner are excluded from Top-2.
Top-2 also remains visible in the standings when offline.
🎲 4. RANDOM WINNERS — TWO REWARDSReward: 0.0924 BTC per winnerTwo eligible smaller online miners are selected through the pool's random-draw system.
This category is designed to give smaller miners an additional opportunity to receive a meaningful reward.
Random eligibility is based on the miner's estimated Work Pot payout being below
0.0005 BTC.
The dashboard distinguishes between:
- RANDOM PICK: A miner currently included in the saved draw. This is not a guaranteed block reward.
- NEXT DRAW: An eligible miner who is not currently included in the saved draw and can enter when the next Bitcoin network block arrives.
The saved draw can contain up to 12 ranked candidates.
Random winners are excluded from the Work Pot distribution for the block they win.
If a Random reward slot cannot be filled, that allocation goes into the Work Pot.
💎 5. WORK POT — PROPORTIONAL REWARDSBase Work Pot: Approximately 0.2777 BTCThe remaining reward is distributed proportionally according to each eligible miner's contribution to the round's accepted work.
The following miners are excluded from the Work Pot for the block:
- Block Finder
- Top-1 — Best Share
- Top-2 — Most Work
- Both Random Winners
The remaining eligible miners share the Work Pot based on their accepted work.
Offline miners can still qualify. An offline miner whose estimated Work Pot payout is at least 0.0005 BTC remains eligible for that distribution.
Unused reward-slot allocations are added to the Work Pot.
🔐 HOW PAYOUTS WORKWe want miners to understand exactly which rewards are paid directly and which are handled by the pool.
DIRECT COINBASE REWARDSThe winning block's coinbase transaction includes the allocations for:
- Block Finder
- Top-1 — Best Share
- Top-2 — Most Work
- Random Winner #1
- Random Winner #2
These rewards do not need to pass through a pool-operated payout wallet first.
WORK POT — POOL-ADMINISTERED PAYOUTThe Work Pot is different.
Its allocation is paid to the pool's designated payout address in the coinbase. Eligible miners are credited according to their accepted-work contribution, and their Work Pot payments are processed after the block reaches 100 confirmations.
The Work Pot therefore involves pool custody and is not an immediate direct coinbase payment to each participating miner.
IMPORTANT: COINBASE MATURITYBitcoin coinbase rewards cannot be spent until they mature after 100 confirmations, approximately 17 hours at Bitcoin's target block interval.

⚠️ IMPORTANT MINING INFORMATIONBitcoin mining is probabilistic. A pool can receive valid shares for an extended period without finding a block.
Current leaderboard positions, estimated Work Pot amounts and Random eligibility can change as miners submit new shares.
No block discovery or payout is guaranteed.Use a Bitcoin address you control and review the pool rules before connecting significant hashpower.
