Quick setup

Paste your Bitcoin address (your payout identity) and every device's config fills in below. The password is always anything — x is fine. Add a worker name after the dot to track rigs separately.

Tip: bookmark /users/<your-address> to watch your stats.

⛏️ New to mining? Try the CPU miner (Windows)

SoloLuck Miner is a tiny Windows app — a clean Start/Stop window with live hashrate & share counts that points your PC's CPU at SoloLuck. A PC's hashrate is small, so it's a lottery ticket — which is exactly the point of a solo pool.

⬇ Download SoloLuckMiner.exe (Windows) source (.zip)

A tiny (~11 MB) app — just run it. On first launch it downloads the matching cpuminer-opt build for your CPU (AVX-512 / AVX2 / SHA / SSE4.2 / SSE2) automatically, then you paste your BTC address and click Start Mining. (Prefer to build it yourself? The .zip has the Python source + build.bat.)

Open-source — host sololuck.io, port 3335 (the Nano tier, tuned for CPUs so your shares register fast), username = your BTC address. Antivirus note: the app itself is clean, but the downloaded cpuminer engine may be flagged as a false positive (every CPU miner is) — if so, allow it / add a folder exclusion in Windows Security; the app shows the exact steps.

🍎 On a Mac? (CPU miner)

No app to download — one command builds a CPU miner for your Mac (Intel or Apple Silicon) and points it at SoloLuck. Open Terminal and paste:

Terminal

It asks for your BTC address, installs what it needs (Xcode Command Line Tools + Homebrew build deps), compiles the engine, and starts mining to stratum.sololuck.io:3335 (the Nano tier, tuned for CPUs). Press Ctrl-C to stop.

Heads-up: there is no notarized .app yet (Apple notarization needs a paid developer account), so this is a terminal build-from-source — the first run compiles the miner and can take a few minutes. A Mac's hashrate is tiny, so treat it as a low-power lottery ticket — which is the whole point of solo.

Prefer to do it by hand? Install build tools with brew install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config curl jansson, build cpuminer-opt (or pooler/cpuminer), then run cpuminer -a sha256d -o stratum+tcp://stratum.sololuck.io:3335 -u YOURADDR.mac -p x.
