No frills, no fuss 2% fee anonymous solo bitcoin mining for everyone
No registration required, no payment schemes, no pool operator wallets.
Visit stats.ckpool.org for graphical statistics.
View blocks found on solo.ckpool at mempool.space/mining/pool/solock.
Pool endpoints are geographically located in USA, EU, Asia, and Oceania.
The stratum endpoint will automatically choose the lowest latency connection for you and fail over to another endpoint if your current one goes down.
Just point your miner to:
For mining rentals ONLY, there is a special high diff port:
Set your username to your Bitcoin address with any or even no worker extension, and any password.
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0 -p x
stratum.ckpool.org33331PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0xIf you enter an invalid address, you will be rejected.
You may still manually choose to configure mining directly to one of the stratum servers though it will not provide failover should the endpoint have downtime.

Solo.ckpool.org does not filter any transactions and uses default Bitcoin Core transaction selection. Live monitoring of the current transactions can be done at any time by examining the following URL:
This can also be used to monitor the likelihood of your personal transactions being mined in the next block at any pool.
As this uses a moderate amount of bandwidth, please minimize your usage of this to avoid the need to disable this service.
The most commonly asked question is why your mining statistics are not showing up under users. The reason for this is your mining hashrate is too low to be detected by the pool due to a minimum difficulty of 10,000 set. The pool will eventually pick up your shares and slowly adjust to suit your mining hardware.
If you are using client software that supports the client-diff option, you can set this to a lower value, with 1 being the minimum, but it has no influence on your chance of finding a block, as shares are cosmetic for feedback only here.
Hashrates below 100GH are not recommended to mine Bitcoin as it is unrealistic they will ever find a block. Feel free to try them as a learning experience or proof of concept, but it is highly recommended you don't thrash such devices and waste your time and energy.
CPU, GPU, and FPGA miners are never recommended for mining Bitcoin.
Nerdminers are demonstration toys only that simply waste bandwidth to the pool; please do not mine with them here.
Mining at solo.ckpool.org avoids the overheads of running a full Bitcoin node that requires both great storage and bandwidth for optimal performance. Solo.ckpool.org is extensively connected to high-speed, low-latency Bitcoin nodes for rapid block change notification and propagation. It also supports all stratum-mining-compatible ASIC miners with no registration required.
Any small network delay in communication, between your location and the pool is usually vastly offset by the speed of the pool hardware and connectivity.
This allows you to easily mine to your own address without needing to rely upon payout systems or risking your rewards with pool operators.
If your mining setup is already highly optimized with your own Bitcoin node, there is no advantage to using this service, and you will only pay a fee to support its maintenance.
However, you also pay a 2% fee on top of the transaction fees paid by Bitcoin, meaning a small portion of your mining reward will go towards maintaining this pool and developing ckpool further.
