What latency can I expect from Malaysia to SoloLuck?

SoloLuck's node is in Jakarta, a short SEA hop from Kuala Lumpur — typically a few tens of milliseconds, versus roughly 250 ms to US pools and further to Hong Kong anycast. Lower latency means fewer stale shares, but it does not change your odds of solving a block.

Are my odds of finding a block better on SoloLuck than another solo pool?

No. The odds are identical on every true-solo pool — they're set by your hashrate against the whole network, not by us. A pool only changes its fee, its payout style and its latency. Anyone claiming better odds is selling hype.

How do I cash out a solved block into ringgit?

A solved block pays straight to your bc1 address on-chain. To convert to RM, sell through an exchange registered with the Securities Commission Malaysia as a Digital Asset Exchange (Luno is the best-known), then withdraw to your bank. Check current LHDN tax guidance and keep records.

Will mining cost me more in TNB electricity than I'll earn?

For almost every hobby-scale miner, yes. A 24/7 miner runs in your most expensive TNB tariff block, and the electricity spent will statistically exceed the expected block reward. That's true on every solo pool. Do it for the lottery thrill, not for profit.

Has anyone actually won a block on SoloLuck?

Not yet. No block has been solved on the pool so far, and most current hashrate is the operator's own test rigs. We'd rather tell you that plainly than pretend otherwise.

Solo mining from Malaysia, in plain terms

SoloLuck is a true-solo pool. You point your miner at it, and if your machine is the one that solves a block, the whole reward is paid straight to your own Bitcoin address on-chain. There is no pooled split and no payout to chase — either you find a block or you don't.

Be clear-eyed about what that means from a bedroom in Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Johor Bahru. Solo mining is a lottery. The odds of a single small miner solving a block are identical on every solo pool on earth — SoloLuck cannot and does not change them. A Bitaxe-class machine may statistically expect a block once in thousands of years. What a pool actually changes is only three things: its fee, how it pays you, and how far your shares have to travel. That's the honest scope of this page.

For the full lottery framing — and why "more hashrate" doesn't make it less of a lottery — read solo vs pooled mining and run real numbers in the odds calculator.

The latency case: KL to Jakarta vs US and HK

This is the one genuine, measurable edge for a Malaysian miner. SoloLuck's stratum node sits in Jakarta — a short SEA hop from the peninsula. From Kuala Lumpur that's typically a few tens of milliseconds, versus roughly 250 ms to a US-hosted pool. Lower round-trip time means fewer stale shares and slightly less work thrown away when a block changes.

Pool / node	Location	~Latency from KL
SoloLuck	Jakarta	Short SEA hop (tens of ms)
ckpool / public-pool	US / AU	~250 ms
AtlasPool	Hong Kong anycast	Further than Jakarta for a SEA miner

Keep it in proportion: latency trims wasted shares at the margins. It does not move the lottery odds. A nearer node is a real, small improvement — not a winning ticket. See the comparison page for the side-by-side.

What Malaysian electricity does to the maths

Your real ongoing cost is the wall socket, billed in RM. TNB's domestic tariff is tiered — the more kilowatt-hours you draw in a month, the higher the sen/kWh rate on the upper blocks. A miner runs 24/7, so it stacks on top of your household load and lands squarely in your most expensive band, not your cheapest.

Estimate honestly: take your miner's watts, multiply out to kWh per month, and price it against the top tariff block your usage reaches — not the headline lowest rate.
For almost every hobby-scale miner in Malaysia, the electricity spent will exceed the statistically-expected block reward. That is true on every solo pool, SoloLuck included. The reason to do it is the lottery thrill and supporting the network — not a return on the RM you burn.
An efficient low-power device (Bitaxe / NerdMiner class) keeps that monthly RM cost small enough to treat as a hobby, which is exactly who solo mining suits.

Setup: your bc1 address is your username

SoloLuck is non-custodial. There is no signup and no account to hack. Your own Bitcoin address is your username, and a solved block pays directly to it. The password field is ignored — type anything.

Point your miner at stratum.sololuck.io and pick the port that matches your hardware tier:

Port	Tier	For
:3335	Nano (difficulty 1)	NerdMiner, tiny ESP32, sub-100 GH devices
:3333	Lite	Bitaxe class
:8081	Standard	Mid-range hashrate
:4334	Pro	S19 / high-hashrate rigs
:3334	TLS	Encrypted connection

Username = your bc1... address. Use an address from a wallet whose keys you control (a hardware wallet is ideal) — if you ever solve a block, that is exactly where the coins land. Step-by-step config is on the setup page. The whole site is available in Bahasa Melayu if you'd rather read it that way.

Cashing out a solved block in Malaysia

If lightning strikes and your miner solves a block, the reward arrives as a normal on-chain payment to your bc1 address — no withdrawal request, no permission from us. Converting that to ringgit is the same as cashing out any Bitcoin in Malaysia.

Sell through an exchange registered with the Securities Commission Malaysia as a Digital Asset Exchange (DAX). Luno Malaysia is the best-known; the SC publishes the current list of registered operators, so check it rather than taking any name on trust.
From a registered DAX you can sell BTC for RM and withdraw to a local bank account.
Treat the tax and record-keeping side seriously and check current LHDN guidance — we're a mining pool, not your accountant. Keeping a note of the block, the date and the RM value at sale will save you grief later.

SoloLuck's only cut is a 2% fee taken as a single coinbase output, and only on a block you actually solve. No block, no fee — it's 0% every other day.

Is it actually worth it from Malaysia?

Straight answer: as a way to make money, no — not for a small miner, here or anywhere. As a cheap, low-stakes lottery ticket that also props up the Bitcoin network and teaches you how mining really works, it can be worth the RM if you go in with open eyes.

And the full disclosure, because it's the brand: no block has been solved on SoloLuck yet, and most of the hashrate currently on the pool is the operator's own test rigs. We're a young pool with a real latency edge for SEA and a flat honest fee — not a jackpot machine. If anyone tells you a pool improves your odds, they're selling something.

Compare the fees and payout styles on /compare, sanity-check the numbers in the odds calculator, then if you're in, head to setup. Questions in English or Malay are welcome in the community on Telegram @SoloLuckPool.
