About This Pool

Overview

We're a solo mining pool running open-source software with split-coinbase payouts and transparent operations. This is true solo mining: if your miner finds a block, you get the block reward. We don't split rewards among miners--the miner who finds it gets paid.

Reality check: Solo mining is probabilistic. Small miners can go months or years without finding a block. We don't know when--or if--you'll find one.

Payment System

We use split-coinbase payouts, meaning you get paid directly from block rewards. Your Bitcoin address is written into the coinbase transaction itself--there's no pool wallet involved. Your address is verified before any work is accepted, and you can verify all coinbase outputs on your worker page.

Technical Stack

Custom-built pool software written in Go, running a Bitcoin Core node with RPC and ZMQ for low-latency block template updates. Each miner connection runs independently on its own goroutine for responsive communication under load.

Our code is open source on GitHub under the AGPL license. We welcome code review, security audits, and contributions.

Choosing a Pool

Be skeptical of every pool. Some pools have coinbase transactions that don't reward miners at all, meaning your work earns nothing. Always verify on-chain payouts.

Split coinbase vs. pool wallets: Without split coinbase, you're trusting the operator to pay you from their wallet after receiving the block reward. With split coinbase, your address is in the coinbase transaction itself--cryptographically guaranteed.

Red flags to watch for:

• No miner payouts -- Coinbase doesn't include miner addresses
• No split coinbase -- Requires trusting the operator to pay you later
• Insufficient infrastructure -- Unreliable hardware, poor connectivity, or shared hosting
• Claims that don't align with economics -- If it seems too good to be true, investigate

Use tools like PoolCensus to verify on-chain behavior. Our code is open source, our payouts are verifiable on-chain, and our fees reflect actual costs. Trust, but verify.
