Solo or a shared pool: what to pick on the first plan

2026-08-12

A pool splits finds. Solo pays the whole block — or stays quiet. Power still lands on your address either way.

A shared pool adds many people's hash. When the network finds a block, the reward is split by share. You see wallet movement more often, in smaller pieces.

Solo hunts a block for you only. Until it hits, payouts are almost none. If a block lands, the reward is yours, minus network fees and the solo stratum rules.

More power does not mean a guaranteed pile of coins. The network is random. We deliver the stated hashrate to your pool, not a specific block.

For a first plan, pick a pool so you can read worker stats. Solo only when you accept you may see no reward in the whole window.
