public-pool.io is a good pool. If you want the lowest possible cost, or open-source software you can host yourself, it is probably the right choice — and this page will say so more than once. SoloLuck only makes sense in one narrow case: you mine from Asia and you care about latency.
Either way the odds of finding a block are identical. A pool changes the fee, the payout style and the latency — never the lottery itself. The side-by-side is on /compare.
No spin. These are real advantages, and SoloLuck does not have them:
ckpool, but our patches and site are not published, so this one is theirs, not ours.bitcoind. SoloLuck is a hosted service only.If any of those matter to you more than latency, stop reading and use public-pool. That's an honest recommendation, not a trap.
public-pool runs on a single server in the US. From Indonesia that's roughly a 250ms round trip. SoloLuck's stratum node sits in Jakarta — about 6ms from a home miner in Indonesia, measured from our own rig in Bandung.
This does not improve your odds. It only trims stale shares — work your miner submits a moment too late because the previous block already changed on the far side of the planet. Lower latency means fewer of those wasted submissions when blocks turn over. For a small Asian miner it's a marginal but real gain; for a US or EU miner it's the opposite, and public-pool will sit closer to you.
The honest numbers and method are in /guide/solo-mining-pool-latency-asia. And to be fair: ckpool runs a Singapore node and AtlasPool runs anycast PoPs in Asia, so SoloLuck isn't the only low-latency option here — just the closest one for Indonesia specifically.
Beyond latency, a few things differ. None of them change the lottery:
:3334. public-pool also offers TLS, so call this a tie — not a SoloLuck-only feature.The price for all of that is the 2% fee and our complete lack of a track record. You can audit both claims on /verify.
SoloLuck is non-custodial true solo, the same as public-pool: your Bitcoin address is your stratum username, and a solved block pays straight to it on-chain. We never hold your coins.
The fee is 2%, and only if you actually solve a block — taken as a single coinbase output in that block. No block, no fee, ever. So on a 3.125 BTC reward, public-pool pays you the lot; SoloLuck pays ~3.06 BTC and keeps ~0.06. That 2% is the entire cost of the Jakarta node and the localised tooling. Whether it's worth it is your call — for most miners chasing the lowest cost it isn't, and public-pool wins.
If you want to try it, set your username to your bc1… address, the password to anything, and pick the port for your hardware:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Stratum URL | stratum.sololuck.io |
| Username | your bc1… address.worker |
| Password | anything |
Ports by tier:
:3335 Nano — diff 1, for CPU / ESP32.:3333 Lite — a Bitaxe or small ASIC.:8081 Standard — S9-class.:4334 Pro — S19/S21 or rented hashrate.:3334 TLS — encrypted, any tier.Full walk-through at /setup; live pool state at /status; the full feature table at /compare.
Paste your address and copy the config from /setup, watch the pool on /status, and check every claim on /verify. Mine to your own address — that is what makes it truly solo.
