Solo mining is a method of cryptocurrency mining where a miner works alone, without joining a mining pool. Instead of combining their mining power with others, a solo miner attempts to solve cryptographic puzzles on their own to add new blocks to the blockchain.
02
A Bitcoin solo miner like Bitaxe is a small, specialised mining device that mines Bitcoin independently — without joining a mining pool. A solo miner has both the mining chip and the necessary logic to mine solo.
03
Yes — some individuals have hit Bitcoin blocks with small solo miners, though it’s extremely rare.
04
Infrequent Payouts: Without pooled resources, it's much harder to find blocks. This means solo miners may go for long periods with no reward.
Higher Risk, Higher Reward: There's no steady income like in pool mining, but the rewards, when achieved, are much larger.
05
Solo Mining = Big reward, rare win, full control, high risk.
Pool Mining = Smaller rewards, steady payouts, less risk, easier setup.
