At about 6 TH/s and the current network difficulty of 133.87T, the statistical mean time for a single Avalon Nano 3S to solve a block solo is:
“Avg” is the statistical mean — real luck swings wildly either way, which is the whole point of solo. The numbers move with the network; run your own on the odds calculator.
The Avalon Nano 3S is Canaan's desktop Bitcoin miner: about 6 TH/s from a box the size of a chunky router, with a little screen on the front and a USB-C power lead. Pointed at a true-solo pool it mines for itself — every share it sends is an attempt to solve a whole block, and if one lands the entire reward (minus our 2% fee) goes straight to your address. Nothing is pooled, there is no steady trickle. It is a lottery ticket that also warms your desk.
Next to a Bitaxe it is a few times faster and arrives ready-built with WiFi, a screen and an app — but the maths is the same: solo is solo. See /compare for how pools actually differ (they change fee, payout style and latency, never your odds).
Be clear-eyed: 6 TH/s is a rounding error against a network measured in hundreds of exahash. The live figure on this page is the real one, but in round terms a single Nano 3S is looking at thousands of years of average wait per block. That isn't pessimism, it's arithmetic — and it is identical on every solo pool on earth, ours included.
So why run one? Because that wait is an average, not a countdown — a block can land tomorrow or never, and the ticket is cheap. People run a Nano 3S to learn how mining works, to heat a room, and to hold a real (if tiny) shot at a full block reward. If you need predictable income, solo mining is the wrong tool — we'll say it plainly. SoloLuck has found 0 blocks so far, and most of what's hashing today is operator test rigs. We won't pretend otherwise.
Both setup routes end at the same Pool Config screen. Your stratum username is your own bc1 address — any block reward is paid on-chain straight to it, so use an address whose keys you hold (a hardware wallet is ideal). The password is ignored; type anything.
Via the Avalon Family app (Bluetooth): open the app, tap Add Device → Nano 3S, pair over Bluetooth, join it to your WiFi, then open Settings → Pool Configuration.
Via the built-in web UI: read the miner's IP off its front screen, browse to it, log in (default root / root), and open Pool Config (bottom-right).

Port :3333 is our Lite tier — the right share difficulty for a small ASIC like this one. Drop it into Pool 1, save, and the miner reconnects on its own. The other tiers are for very different hardware:
:3335 Nano — diff 1, for CPUs/ESP32.:3333 Lite — Bitaxe and small ASICs. Use this one.:8081 Standard — S9-class.:4334 Pro — S19/S21/rented rigs.:3334 TLS — encrypted stratum.Set a second pool entry as a backup if you like; the full walk-through is on /setup.
A Nano 3S draws about 140 W flat out and turns nearly all of it into heat — roughly 50°C air off the back. Treat it as exactly that: a 140 W space heater that happens to mine. In a small room in winter the warmth is a feature; in a hot Jakarta bedroom in the wet season it is not. Plan where it sits accordingly.
It is genuinely quiet — roughly 29–36 dB depending on mode, nearer a library than a server room — but it is not silent, and the fan note climbs with the power mode. Three rough settings:
| Mode | Hashrate | Power | Noise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eco | ~3.1 TH/s | ~66 W | ~29 dB |
| Balanced | ~4.8 TH/s | ~104 W | ~32 dB |
| High | 6 TH/s | ~140 W | ~36 dB |
Eco mode lowers your odds in step with the hashrate, but it also roughly halves the power and heat — sensible if the miner shares your desk. Note the wiring reality too: it's USB-C powered with WiFi built in, while wired Ethernet needs a USB adapter Canaan sells separately. WiFi is fine for solo mining — the share traffic is tiny.
Once you've saved the pool, check it three ways:
sololuck.io/users/ — it lists your worker, accepted shares and best-ever difficulty. If your address appears there, you're truly pointed at us. More on reading it at /verify; live pool health is on /status.One real, un-hyped reason to point it here: our Jakarta node sits ~6 ms from a home line in Indonesia, against ~250 ms to a typical US pool. It will not change your odds — nothing does — but a closer node means fewer stale shares and a cleaner connection from this part of the world. That, the per-tier difficulty and local-language help are the only things a pool can genuinely offer. The lottery itself is the same everywhere.
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.
