At about 100 TH/s and the current network difficulty of 133.87T, the statistical mean time for a single MicroBT Whatsminer (M30S/M50) 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.
A Whatsminer is a SHA-256 Bitcoin ASIC made by MicroBT — the main rival to Bitmain's Antminer line, and the other brand a lot of SEA miners already own. If you have an Antminer S19, the story is almost identical; the Whatsminer is just a different box doing the same arithmetic. Same SHA-256, same network, same odds. The pool you point it at does not change any of that.
The numbers people quote come in two families:
86–112 TH/s.114–134 TH/s.All of these belong on SoloLuck's :4334 Pro tier — the high-hashrate port. They are real industrial miners, not a Bitaxe on your desk.
These are factory specs. A secondhand unit — which is what most home solo miners buy — will usually run a little slower and a little hotter than its sticker, and efficiency drifts as hashboards age. Treat the table as a ceiling, not a promise.
| Model | Hashrate (factory) | Power | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| M30S | ~86–90 TH/s | ~3268 W | ~38 J/TH |
| M30S+ | ~100 TH/s | ~3400 W | ~34 J/TH |
| M30S++ | ~108–112 TH/s | ~3472 W | ~31 J/TH |
| M50 | ~114–118 TH/s | ~3306 W | ~29 J/TH |
| M50S / M50S+ | ~126–134 TH/s | ~3400–3600 W | ~26 J/TH |
For solo, the only number that matters for your odds is the TH/s. The watts and J/TH matter for your electricity bill — which, on a machine like this, is the real cost of playing. More on that below.
A Whatsminer is not a gadget. It is a ~3000–3500 W space heater with a jet engine bolted to it. Before you plan the block party, plan for the box:
75 dB at full tilt — about a loud vacuum cleaner that never switches off. It will not live in a bedroom. People put these in a shed, a garage, a utility room, or under sound-dampening.~$245/month in electricity — every month, block or no block. That ongoing cost, not the price of the miner, is what you are really wagering.Quieter / cooler options people use: immersion cooling (drops noise and lets you push or tame the chips), hydro variants, or simply a detached shed with airflow. None of them change your odds — they just make the machine livable.
SoloLuck is true per-miner solo on ckpool (-B solo mode) and non-custodial: your Bitcoin address is your username. There is no account, no email, no KYC, and we never hold a satoshi of yours. If your machine finds a block, the reward is paid straight to your address on-chain in the coinbase, minus a single 2% fee output. No block, no fee — 0% the rest of the time.
In the Whatsminer web dashboard, set Pool 1 to:
stratum+tcp://stratum.sololuck.io:4334bc1q… address, optionally with a label, e.g. bc1qyouraddress.m50x (anything — it is ignored)Use a bech32 bc1 address you control the keys to (your own wallet or hardware wallet) — payouts go exactly where you point them, so a typo pays a stranger. The host is 148.230.98.87 if you prefer a raw IP. Want encryption? The same pool answers on :3334 over TLS. Full per-tier walkthrough and other gear lives on /setup.
Here is the part most pools bury. Your solo odds are identical on every pool on earth. A pool can only change three things: its fee, its payout style, and its latency. It cannot bend the math. SoloLuck does not, and will not, pretend otherwise.
A used Whatsminer at ~100 TH/s is a vastly better lottery ticket than a ~1 TH/s Bitaxe — about a hundred times the chances. But "a hundred times almost nothing" is still almost nothing: against the current network difficulty, a single ~100 TH/s machine finding a block is a statistically once-in-many-decades-to-centuries event. That is not pessimism, it is arithmetic. The live odds card at the top of this page works it out against the current difficulty for your exact hashrate, and the odds calculator lets you plug in your own TH/s.
And in fairness you should know: SoloLuck has not found a block yet. Most of the hashrate you see on the pool right now is the operator's own rigs. We tell you that on purpose — a solo pool that hides its block count or its own hashrate is selling you a feeling, not a fair shot. If you want the long version of solo-vs-the-alternative, read solo vs pooled mining.
SoloLuck's stratum server runs from a Jakarta node, roughly ~6 ms from much of Indonesia and SEA, versus ~250 ms to a US-based pool. Latency does not improve your odds either — but it does cut stale shares and gets your block to the network a hair faster the one time it ever matters. For a high-hashrate Whatsminer submitting a lot of shares, a nearer node simply wastes less of your work.
If you are weighing SoloLuck against other solo pools on fee, payout style and latency rather than on hype, the side-by-side is on /compare. Questions, or want to compare notes with other SEA miners: @SoloLuckPool on Telegram.
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.
