The Vigil

SoloLuck has not found a block yet.

Most pools would never give that sentence its own page. We think the wait is the story — so this page keeps it honestly, in the open, and was written for the day it ends.

Day 25 of the wait

since public launch on 18 June 2026 — changelog

The odds, kept honestly

At the pool's current speed of 182 TH/s against network difficulty 127.2 T, one block arrives on average every 95 years. That average says nothing about when. Solo mining is a lottery drawn with every share, and today the honest numbers are:

  • a block in the next 24 hours1 in 35,000
  • a block in the next 30 days1 in 1,200
  • a block in the next year1 in 96

So far the pool has lived through 0.07% of one average wait.

Because every hash is an independent draw, the lottery is memoryless: a block is exactly as likely today as it was on day one — it never gets “due”. The full math is on the odds calculator and the plain warnings in risk disclosure.

What happens when it ends

Written and published in advance — none of it depends on us behaving well on the day:

  1. The block itself pays the finder. The winning block's coinbase transaction pays 100% of the reward — subsidy plus every transaction fee — straight to the finder's own address, the one used as the stratum username. Nothing to claim, nothing we hold; it becomes spendable after Bitcoin's standard 100-block coinbase maturity.
  2. The chain is the announcement. The block lands on every explorer, and anyone can open its coinbase to confirm where each satoshi went. Our proof page demonstrates this exact construction on a test network today.
  3. The site flips on its own. The jackpot hero, status and the draw feed read the node directly and pick the block up within about a minute — there is no manual step for us to get right.
  4. Watchers get a ping. Everyone subscribed to the Telegram watch bot (/watch your‑address) receives a direct message.
  5. The Founders' Wall freezes. Every address with an accepted share before block #1 keeps its spot on the Founders' Wall, permanently.
  6. This page becomes an artifact. The Vigil is preserved verbatim, exactly as it looked before the block, and stays up as the record of the wait.
