Setup

Connect your miner in 3 steps

Address-format checking happens locally in your browser. Your address is sent to SoloLuck only when you open your public miner-statistics page or connect a miner using it as the stratum username — from then on its mining stats are public.

2Your Bitcoin address

This is your payout identity and your mining username. Format checking happens here in your browser; once you mine with it (or open your stats page), the address and its mining statistics are public on the pool.

Use a self-custody wallet address whose keys you control. Do not use an exchange or custodial deposit address — many exchanges reject direct coinbase (mining) deposits, and you don't hold the keys. All mainnet formats work: bc1q…, bc1p…, 3… or 1….

Use a Bitcoin address only. A Bitcoin Cash legacy address (1… or 3…) is written in exactly the same form as a Bitcoin one — nothing on this page, and nothing at login, can tell the two apart. The same private key controls that address on both chains, so a block solved with it would still be yours to spend; but your hardware would have spent the whole time searching for a Bitcoin block, which is a different search at different odds from the Bitcoin Cash one you meant to enter.

Bitcoin Cash mining is on its own page.

Note: a found block pays this address directly on-chain, but Bitcoin's rules prevent a coinbase reward being spent until 100 further blocks have been mined (~16–17 hours on average; actual time varies).

Prefer encrypted? Use stratum+ssl://stratum.sololuck.io:3334 (TLS) — same username, any password.

Check my miner →

Opens the public statistics page for your address.

Point your miner at these, save and start. Your first share shows up on your miner page within a minute or two.

Running several rigs? The username is <address>.<workername> — change the part after the dot (letters/numbers) per rig. Has your miner got a fallback pool slot? Put your own address in its User field too; the fallback pool check shows where that field is.

Not seeing shares? Check the address is valid, pick a port whose minimum difficulty is at or below your hardware (tiny devices: :3335), make sure outbound TCP to the port isn't firewalled, and use stratum+ssl:// only on :3334.

Mining Bitcoin Cash or DigiByte instead? Each is a separate pool with its own host and its own ports — the connection details are on the Bitcoin Cash page and the DigiByte page.

Add SoloLuck as your backup pool

Already mining at another pool? Keep it. Most miners have a second pool slot: AxeOS on a Bitaxe or NerdQAxe calls it Fallback, and an Antminer lists Pool 1, 2 and 3. Put SoloLuck there and nothing changes while your main pool works; if it stops answering, your miner keeps hashing here instead of sitting idle, for a 0% fee, and a block found here pays your own address in full.

The exact settings, device by device →

Ports & difficulty

No port is fixed-difficulty. Every connection starts at difficulty 4,000 (or the port minimum if higher), and the pool's vardiff then follows your share rate in both directions — raising difficulty when shares come in fast and easing it back down when they slow, never below the port minimum. Your miner can ask for a lower difficulty itself as well (mining.suggest_difficulty), again no lower than that minimum — NerdMiner-class firmware asks automatically. The wizard already picks the right tier for you. Curious what the miner and the pool are actually saying to each other? Stratum V1 vs V2, explained.

Where the Bitcoin pools answer from

You do not need to choose anything. stratum.sololuck.io is the address for every miner, everywhere — it is what the wizard hands you, what every guide prints, and the only address your rig needs. This card is here so you can see the whole of the infrastructure, not so you have to operate it.

SoloLuck's Bitcoin mining runs in one pool, in Jakarta, on its own Bitcoin node: it builds its own block templates and pays a block it solves straight to the miner who solved it. Singapore is not a pool — it is a forwarder, and a miner who connects there is carried into the Jakarta pool over a private encrypted link. us.stratum.sololuck.io reaches the Jakarta pool too: a second pool ran in Phoenix, USA from 2026-09-07 and was retired on 2026-10-03, and miners pointed there carried on without changing anything.

One name, one signature. The pool writes the coinbase signature /sololuck.io/ into every block template it builds, so a block solved here is credited to SoloLuck by the block explorers that read that tag.

• Jakarta · Southeast Asia
  sea.stratum.sololuck.io — a SoloLuck Bitcoin pool, and the one every connect string points at
  Carries: :3335 Nano, :3333 Lite, :4334 Pro, :3334 TLS.
• Singapore · Asia
  sg.stratum.sololuck.io — forwards into the Jakarta pool over a private encrypted link
  Carries: :3335 Nano, :3333 Lite, :4334 Pro, :3334 TLS.

Jakarta answers to two names. stratum.sololuck.io is the canonical one: the address on every connect string we publish, and it is not going anywhere. sea.stratum.sololuck.io names that same Jakarta machine directly, under the same naming scheme as sg; us reaches this machine too. It carries every tier, the encrypted one (:3334) included, and the certificate carries both hostnames, so an encrypted connection verifies under either name. Since 2026-09-06 a second certificate covers the Singapore name as well, so :3334 verifies at Singapore too — every door here serves encrypted mining. Every door carries the same four tiers.

What none of this changes: your odds. Latency is not odds — every hash has exactly the same chance of solving a block whichever door it came in through, and whichever pool it reached. A nearer door is a shorter first hop, which usually means a steadier connection and fewer dropouts on a slow or fidgety line. That is the whole of it.

Check it for yourself. We publish no ping figure for any of these doors, and where a figure does appear elsewhere on this site it is dated and names the vantage it was measured from — a route can quietly get slower with nothing changing on our side, and an undated number would go stale without warning. Every door above accepts a plain TCP connection on the ports in its row, so time one from the machine your miner actually runs on — that measures your connection rather than ours. Time a connection rather than a ping: some of these hosts sit behind filtered ICMP and will not answer one.

Free miner alerts on Telegram

DM @SoloLuckIOMining_bot the command /watch your-btc-address and it will ping you when the pool solves a block, if one of your workers goes quiet for 20+ minutes (and again the moment it comes back), and whenever your address sets a new best-share record. Free, no signup, covers every worker on the address. Send /stop anytime.

Where to buy a miner

We sell no hardware and take no commission — there is no affiliate code in the link below. “Which miner should I buy?” is simply the question we are asked most, and this is a shop serving the region most of our miners are in.

• Australia & Asia-Pacific — Aussie Miners — Bitaxe, NerdQAxe and Octaxe, shipped across APAC.

Buying elsewhere is fine and changes nothing here — any SHA-256 miner connects the same way. If you run a shop and your own setup guide is genuinely useful, tell us.

Rules & guidance

• One address = your payout identity. Use address.workername to track multiple rigs.
• Any SHA-256 miner can connect, a PC or laptop included. Below about 100 GH/s the odds of a block are lottery-small — a PC’s odds are above, and the calculator shows yours.
• Please keep low-hashrate or experimental devices (CPU, GPU, NerdMiner) on the Nano port (:3335) — the heavier tiers are for ASIC hardware.
• Best-effort uptime, no guarantees. Solo mining is high-variance — we provide the connection to the Bitcoin network.
• No accounts, no trackers, no third-party scripts or ad cookies — preferences stay in your browser; the analytics opt-out uses one first-party cookie.
