Solo mining pool: bitcoin, bitcoin cash, litecoin and dogecoin
You mine on your own luck, on our own full nodes. Find a block and 99 percent of the block reward plus the transaction fees goes straight to your address, inside the block itself. The pool keeps 1 percent. Find no block and you earn nothing.
Bitcoin, bitcoin cash, litecoin and dogecoin each run on their own synced node. Your work comes straight from those nodes.
No pool wallet, no minimum, no payout round: your share is a payout of its own in the block you find.
On every chain, including when you mine litecoin and dogecoin together. Solo only; there will be no shared mode.

- • To name a miner, add it after the username with a full stop, for example your-address.garage. Each miner then shows up separately.
- • Litecoin and dogecoin are mined together (merged mining): one Scrypt miner works on both chains at once. That is why port 3335 needs two addresses, litecoin first, then dogecoin. If one is missing or invalid, the pool refuses the connection, so a reward can never land at the wrong address. Litecoin addresses starting with L, M or ltc1q all work.
- • The rental ports start at a high difficulty because rental platforms require it. A Bitaxe will almost never reach a share there, so point your own miners at the regular port.

Litecoin and dogecoin are mined together: the same hashrate counts for both chains.
…
Best share is the highest difficulty your miner has found. If it beats the network difficulty, you have a block.
What is a solo pool?
In an ordinary pool, thousands of miners combine their hashrate. When the pool finds a block, the reward goes out in proportion to the work each miner contributed. You earn a small, fairly predictable amount almost every day.
In a solo pool you share nothing. The pool supplies the infrastructure only: a node that hands you work, tracks your shares and broadcasts your block the moment you find one. The full block reward plus the transaction fees in that block then go to your address. Find no block and the return is zero. That is not a detail but the whole difference: you trade a small fixed amount for a small chance at a large one.
The chains
Bitcoin and bitcoin cash both run on SHA-256, so the same ASIC can mine either. Litecoin and dogecoin run on Scrypt and are mined together: the same hashing power competes for a litecoin and a dogecoin block at the same time.
These amounts come from the protocol itself. Bitcoin and bitcoin cash both halve around April 2028, litecoin at block 3,360,000, expected in mid-2027. The dogecoin reward has been fixed at 10,000 per block since 2015 and no longer halves. Transaction fees in a block come on top and vary from block to block. Network hashrate and prices are deliberately left out of this table: they change daily.
How the payout works
Straight from the block
The block your miner finds pays out itself: 99 percent to your address and 1 percent to the pool, as two separate payouts. The pool never holds your coins, so there is no minimum and no waiting for a payout round.
Verifiable on the blockchain
Both payouts sit in the block's coinbase transaction. Any block explorer shows what went to which address.
Spendable later
Newly mined coins can be spent after 100 confirmations on bitcoin, bitcoin cash and litecoin, and after 240 on dogecoin. That is a protocol rule, not a pool rule.
Litecoin and dogecoin separately
One share can yield a litecoin block, a dogecoin block or both. Each block pays out on its own chain, to the address you gave for that chain.
How large are your odds?
Work it out yourself, because this is the number that matters. Your chance per block is your own hashrate divided by the hashrate of the entire network. For the expected waiting time:
expected time to a block = network hashrate ÷ your hashrate × block time
A home miner of a few TH/s against a network measured in exahashes lands on an expected wait of many thousands of years. That is no reason not to do it — small miners have found blocks — but it is the reason not to treat it as income. Fill in the current network hashrate yourself; we will not print a number here that stops being true tomorrow. Dogecoin sits differently thanks to its shorter block time and lower network hashrate.
Who this suits and who it does not
- • You own a Bitaxe, NerdQaxe or similar small miner and want to run the odds yourself
- • Your hardware is running anyway, for the heat for instance
- • You want to see a block found and broadcast, not just a balance ticking up
- • You can go months or years without a payout and not mind
- • You need the return to pay the electricity bill
- • You want a predictable monthly amount — pick a shared pool instead
- • You are buying hardware specifically for this and counting on earning it back
- • You expect a bigger miner to make the outcome certain; it only shortens the expected wait
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect my miner?
Enter the pool endpoint from the table, for example stratum+tcp://pool.cryptocodes.eu:3333 for bitcoin. Use your own address as the username and x as the password. No account is needed.
What does it cost?
The pool fee is 1 percent of every block found, on every chain. It is a separate payout inside the block itself; there are no other costs.
What happens if I find a block?
99 percent of the block reward plus the transaction fees in that block goes to your address, 1 percent to the pool. The block reward is currently 3.125 BTC on bitcoin, 3.125 BCH on bitcoin cash, 6.25 LTC on litecoin and 10,000 DOGE on dogecoin.
Can I join with a Bitaxe?
Yes, on port 3333 for bitcoin or 3334 for bitcoin cash. Any miner that speaks stratum can take part. Litecoin and dogecoin need Scrypt hardware; a SHA-256 miner will not work there.
Can I point rented hashrate at the pool?
Yes, that is what the rental ports are for: 3338 for bitcoin, 3337 for bitcoin cash and 3339 for litecoin with dogecoin. Use your own address as the username in your rental order. Do expect nothing back: rental costs money by the hour, and whether a block comes of it is chance.
Why litecoin and dogecoin on one port?
They share the same algorithm, and dogecoin is merge-mined with litecoin: the same work counts on both chains. The only extra step is giving two addresses.
Does solo mining pay more than a regular pool?
Over the long run the expected return is roughly the same; the difference is the variance. A shared pool often pays a small amount, a solo pool almost never pays a large one. Expect nothing and treat a found block as a windfall.
Solo mining carries no guaranteed return. Your chance of a block depends on your own hashrate against that of the whole network, and electricity costs keep running whether you find a block or not. The pool is a technical service, not an investment product.
