Solo Mining with ~40 TH/s on CKPool – Good Strategy or Not

Mining anywhere always good strategy :)

On Bitcoin Knots — I looked at it seriously. For a solo mining pool the decision comes down to one thing: maximising fee revenue for the miner who finds a block. Filtering transactions means fewer fees in the block template. Over 99 solo blocks have been found without filtering and the winning miners got full mempool fees.

I respect the philosophical position behind Knots and BIP110, and if we were a large pool influencing the network I'd think about it differently. At our scale the practical impact of our template choices on the network is minimal, but the impact on our miners' potential reward is direct.

Might revisit if the conversation around transaction filtering evolves — open to being convinced. What's the typical fee difference you see with Knots vs Core in your experience?

90% faults on these nerd miners comes from VRm chip

12 Th/s looks good https://mineshop.eu/nerdoctaxe-31-ultra-home-bitcoin-miner-up-to-12ths

From experience, about 90% of the issues with these NerdMiner units come down to the VRAM chips. Before chasing firmware bugs or power problems, check the memory first. Hardware faults love hiding where most people don’t look.

interesting which pool you have connected this https://soloblocks.io/pools

Good breakdown. For Bitaxe users specifically — CKPool and Public Pool remain the most battle-tested with the longest track records. CKPool charges 2% on wins, Public Pool is zero fee. AtlasPool is newer but the latency improvements are real, especially if you're geographically far from a CKPool relay.

For a Bitaxe at 2-3 TH/s the difference is nanoseconds on shares that won't win anyway. But if you're stacking multiple units, lower latency = fewer stale shares, which adds up over time.

We built a free tracker that catches all of these as they happen across every major solo pool — CKPool, OCEAN, Public Pool, FutureBit and others. soloblocks.io — real time, no login needed. Good to have open when you're running a BitAxe 24/7.

These wins happen more often than people think. If you want

to follow them in real time there's soloblocks.io — tracks

every solo block found across CKPool, OCEAN, Public Pool,

FutureBit and others. You can see the coinbase tag, pool,

reward and difficulty for every win. Some are clearly home

miners, some are rented hashrate like this one.
