1. What Even Is a LAN Solo Pool?
A LAN solo pool is:
You
Your miner
Your node
Your network
Your electricity bill crying softly in the corner
It’s basically:
“I don’t trust the internet, so I’m mining in my own house like a cryptographic raccoon.”
No Cloudflare.
No domains.
No ports.
No botnets.
No strangers.
Just you vs the blockchain.
2. What You Need
A Linux box — Ubuntu, Debian, whatever doesn’t explode.
A full node — BTC, BCH, STRAT, whatever chain you’re soloing.
Miningcore installed — the pool software that does the magic.
Your ASIC — the angry space heater that prints hashes.
If you have these, congratulations:
You’re ready to become a LAN goblin.
The LAN Network Setup (The Goblin Triangle)
Your LAN solo pool has exactly three creatures:
Node → talks to the blockchain
Miningcore → talks to the miner
Miner → screams hashes into the void
They all sit on the same LAN like:
“We’re not going outside. Outside is scary.”
Your miner points to: stratum+tcp://192.168.x.x:3333
Your Miningcore points to:
http://localhost:8332Your node points to: the blockchain, obviously
That’s it.
The triangle is complete.
You are now a LAN wizard.
4. The Node Config (bitcoin.conf or whatever chain)
Put this in your node’s config:
server=1
rpcuser=lanminer
rpccookiefile=/home/you/.bitcoin/.cookie
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
txindex=1
This tells your node:
“Only talk to Miningcore. Ignore everyone else. Especially the internet. The internet is full of weirdos.”
5. The Miningcore Config (config.json)
Your pool config needs:
RPC creds
Wallet address
Block template settings
Stratum port
Difficulty settings
The funny part?
Miningcore doesn’t care if you have 1 miner or 100 miners.
It just sits there like:
“Send me hashes, you little goblin.”
Point Your Miner at Your LAN Pool
On your ASIC, Bitaxes, Nerdq's so on so on:
stratum+tcp://192.168.x.x:3333
username: anything
password: anything
Your miner will immediately start screaming:
“HASHES FOR THE HASH GOD!”
Miningcore will respond:
“Good job, little buddy.”
Your node will quietly whisper:
“I hope you find a block someday.”
7. When You Hit a Block
Your LAN solo pool will:
explode with joy
throw confetti (digitally)
pay YOU directly
flex on every pool miner on Earth
Your miner will be like:
“I DID IT! I AM THE CHOSEN ONE!”
You will be like:
“I am unstoppable.”
Your electricity bill will be like:
“Please stop.”
8. Why LAN Solo Pools Are Amazing
Zero botnet risk
Zero DNS issues
Zero internet dependency
Zero pool fees
Maximum goblin energy
It’s just you, your miner, and your LAN.
Pure, uncut solo mining.
9. Final Goblin Wisdom
A LAN solo pool is:
safer
faster
simpler
funnier
more chaotic
more satisfying
And when you hit a block?
BRO YOU WILL ASCEND.
End of Note.
