Solo mining is pure variance: you keep 100% of the block reward only if your worker finds a block. That’s why the “best” solo pool is the one that’s reliable, transparent on SOLO fees, easy to point (often no registration), and close enough (latency) to minimize stales. Before you start, sanity-check your odds in the Solo Mining Odds guide and run the Solo Chance Calculator.

How to pick the best solo pool for your setup

  1. Anonymity vs. dashboard: want no registration, wallet-only? Choose Braiins Solo, zSolo, solo.ckpool, SoloMining.io. Want account tools and support? Choose ViaBTC SOLO (or Kryptex for XEC).
  2. Latency & stales: point to the closest region; test stale rate over 24–48h. If you’re on Wi-Fi, harden it with Wi-Fi vs Ethernet.
  3. Fees & thresholds: SOLO usually pays on block (no threshold), but some account pools still set minimum payouts; check policy pages. 
  4. Variance tolerance: read Solo Mining Odds and set a time/kWh cap so you don’t chase sunk costs. Use Profitability Calculator to price electricity.
  5. Safety & comfort: manage heat and circuits first: Power & Safety (120V/240V), Space-Heater Mining; if noise matters, see Quiet Apartment Mining.

Quick start (example: CKPool/Braiins Solo)

  • Check odds: Solo Chance Calculator → pick your horizon (30/90/365 days).
  • Choose pool: solo.ckpool (2% anonymous) or Braiins Solo (0.5% anonymous) or ViaBTC SOLO (1% account).
  • Point your miner: use the pool’s SOLO endpoint and your payout address (wallet-only) or account worker (if required).
  • Track stales & temps: if stale % > ~1–2%, move to nearer servers and follow Wi-Fi vs Ethernet.
  • Need a step-by-step? See CKPool Setup for common pitfalls.
