Solo mining means your machine builds and tries to solve a whole Bitcoin block by itself. If it wins, the entire block reward lands on-chain at your address. No splitting it with thousands of other miners, no payout threshold, no account. On SoloLuck your Bitcoin address (a bc1... string) is your username, and the password can be anything — it's never checked. We never hold your coins.
The honest part first, because it's the whole point: solo mining is a lottery, and the odds are identical on every solo pool on earth. A pool can only change three things — the fee, how it pays you, and how far the server is from your house. It cannot change your chance of solving a block. For a small home miner that chance can statistically work out to one block every few thousand years. Most people who run a Bitaxe or NerdMiner here are doing it to learn, to support the network, and to hold a real lottery ticket — not as an income plan. If you want the full math, read solo vs pooled mining and run your own numbers in the solo mining odds calculator.
Latency is the one real, measurable thing a pool can change for you — so here's the honest version. Our stratum node lives in Jakarta, not the US or Australia. The ~6 ms figure we quote is for miners inside Indonesia; from Manila it's a longer regional hop than that, but still far shorter than the roughly ~250 ms round-trip to a typical US-hosted pool. Lower latency means your miner hears about new blocks sooner and submits shares sooner, so fewer of them come back stale (rejected for arriving late).
We won't oversell it. For a Manila miner, AtlasPool's Hong Kong node may actually sit geographically closer than our Jakarta one — measure both and keep the lower ping. Where SoloLuck clearly wins on routing is against the US/AU pools like ckpool and public-pool, which are a quarter-second away. And remember: trimming stale shares makes your real hashrate count efficiently, but it does not raise your odds of solving a block. Nothing does. Ping 148.230.98.87 yourself and compare.
SoloLuck splits miners onto tiers by port so difficulty is matched to your hardware. The same address works on all of them — point a tiny ESP32 and an S19 at the same bc1... if you like.
| Port | Tier | For |
|---|---|---|
| :3335 | Nano (diff 1) | NerdMiner, tiny ESP32, sub-100 GH devices |
| :3333 | Lite | Bitaxe-class single-chip miners |
| :8081 | Standard | Mid-range / multi-chip rigs |
| :4334 | Pro | S19 and other high-hashrate machines |
| :3334 | TLS | Any device, encrypted connection |
The host is always stratum.sololuck.io. Full per-device walkthroughs are on the setup page.
Because SoloLuck is non-custodial, a solved block pays the full reward straight to the wallet you mined to — so the only thing to plan is how you'd turn BTC into pesos if that lottery ticket ever hits. The usual local on-ramps work fine for that:
Mine to an address you control — your own hardware or software wallet — not directly to an exchange deposit address. Exchange deposit addresses can rotate or expire, and the coinbase output from a solved block is the kind of thing you do not want sent to a stale address. Withdraw to the exchange only when you're ready to sell. None of the above is tax or financial advice; check your own BIR obligations.
Philippine residential electricity is among the pricier in Southeast Asia, especially in Luzon, so running cost matters more here than in many countries. That pushes most PH hobbyists toward low-draw gear — a Bitaxe pulling a handful of watts, or a NerdMiner you can leave on a shelf — rather than a screaming S19 on a home meter. Treat the monthly power bill as the real, known cost and a solved block as the unlikely upside, and you'll never be disappointed.
One more thing we'd rather you hear from us than discover later: 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. What we can honestly offer a Philippine miner today is true per-miner solo, a 2% fee charged only on a block you actually solve (0% every other day), the Jakarta latency edge over US/AU pools, and a Telegram you can shout into. See exactly how that stacks up on the compare page.
The whole site is available in 10 languages including Tagalog — switch to the Filipino (tl) version if you'd rather read the setup steps and honest-odds notes in Tagalog. The other nine are English, Indonesian, Malay, Japanese, Thai, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Hindi.
Questions, stuck on a config, or want to compare notes with other small miners in the region? The community lives on Telegram at @SoloLuckPool. It's also where any solved block gets announced — when one finally does.
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.
