SOLO mining: Finding a valid network block is a rare event. Displayed hashrate and accepted shares do not guarantee a block or a payout.

What is Fractal Bitcoin SOLO mining?

With SOLO mining, your hardware works on complete Fractal Bitcoin block candidates. Unlike PPS or PPLNS mining, hashrate is not continuously converted into proportional payouts. A valid network block must actually be found.

The VargaTech Fractal Bitcoin SOLO pool uses a CKPool-based Stratum infrastructure together with a dedicated synchronized Fractal Bitcoin node. SHA-256 miners can connect directly to fb.vargatech.net:3333.

What should I enter as username?

Enter your own Fractal Bitcoin payout address. You may append a worker name, for example YOUR_ADDRESS.bitaxe01.

Why does the displayed hashrate fluctuate?

Pool hashrate is estimated from submitted shares using rolling time windows, so short-term readings can fluctuate significantly.
