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.
