❓ Do I need to register an account to mine?
💬 No registration is required. Just configure your miner according to our instructions and start mining. Your first submitted share will automatically associate your wallet with the pool.
❓ What are the fees associated with Solo-Pool?
💬 The pool charges a 1.0% fee on each block found. This fee is deducted from the block reward to cover operational costs. There are no other hidden fees.
❓ What is a SOLO mining pool?
💬 Solo mining means that miners work independently to find a new block. If a miner succeeds, they receive the entire block reward, including transaction fees. This pool provides infrastructure for solo mining without shared payouts.
❓ Why is my reward 0 after several hours of mining?
💬 This is a solo mining pool. Miners only receive a reward if they find a block. You are not paid based on time or shares submitted.
❓ What is personal effort?
💬 Personal effort is a metric that compares your submitted shares to the expected number required to find a block at current network difficulty. A value of 100% means statistically average luck; 50% means you were twice as lucky, 200% means it took twice the expected effort.
❓ Why is my personal effort value decreasing?
💬 Your current effort is calculated as:
If the network difficulty doubles, your effort drops in half. When you find a block, your effort is recorded, and the counter resets to 0%.
effort = (work submitted) / (network difficulty)
If the network difficulty doubles, your effort drops in half. When you find a block, your effort is recorded, and the counter resets to 0%.
❓ Can personal effort exceed 300%?
💬 Yes. Mining is probabilistic. It's possible to go well above 100% before finding a block. Over time, your average luck should approach 100%.
❓ Why is my reported hashrate zero or different from what my miner shows?
💬 The pool updates hashrates based on submitted shares. It can take several minutes for an accurate average to appear. The hashrate shown by your miner is usually more precise.
❓ What is Variable Difficulty and why is it better than Custom Difficulty?
💬 The pool uses an automatic Variable Difficulty (VarDiff) mechanism that dynamically adjusts the share difficulty to an optimal level for each miner. This ensures efficient load balancing, accurate hashrate reporting, and fair effort calculation across all miners.
Regular users should not use Custom Difficulty. It is intended only for specific scenarios, such as:
Regular users should not use Custom Difficulty. It is intended only for specific scenarios, such as:
- Unstable or problematic mining hardware
- Use of certain Stratum proxies that require fixed difficulty settings
❓ Can I change the minimum payment threshold?
💬 No. We do not store user funds beyond the time required to confirm and send payouts. The pool pays out automatically after a block is found.
❓ What is an orphan block?
💬 An orphan block is a valid block that was not included in the longest chain due to a competing block being accepted by more nodes. Orphan blocks do not receive reward.
❓ Is AsicBoost supported?
💬 Yes, AsicBoost is supported.
❓ Is MiningRigRentals supported?
💬 Yes. You can mine using MiningRigRentals as long as your settings are correct. However, we do not guarantee future compatibility due to it being a 3rd-party service.
❓ Is Nicehash supported?
💬 No. Nicehash is not supported.
❓ What is a proxies software?
💬 Some miners use proxy software that filters and submits only valid block solutions, ignoring regular shares. This affects the pool’s ability to calculate your true hashrate and effort. For best statistics, avoid using proxies that suppress shares.
