MintSolo Launches Umbrel Community App

Bringing True Solo Bitcoin Mining Sovereignty to Your Node

MintSolo is thrilled to announce the immediate release of its dedicated app on the Umbrel Community App Store!

This launch represents a significant leap forward for miners seeking true self-sovereignty, allowing individual Bitcoiners to run a private, low-latency solo mining operation directly from their Umbrel server. By packaging the MintSolo software for a one-click install, we are removing technical barriers and empowering more users to participate in the exciting ‘Bitcoin mining lottery’ from the security of their own node.

MintSolo Platform

So what is the MintSolo-Platform you ask? The MintSolo Platform consists of the following components.

• Bitcoin Node – you can choose to use Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Knots or Libre Relay.
• Bitcoin Mining App – our app is not unlike any other pool used for solo mining. However, our App is highly optimised for solo mining.
• Secure Personalised API URL – using your personal SSL-secured URL, we extract your mining statistics used to build your mining analytics.
• MintSolo Analytics Dashboard – using a mobile or desktop device, you connect to your dashboard and view your miner statistics and analytical data.

Platform Benefits

Historically, solo mining at home using Umbrel has been an island compared with pool mining, where you have a resource of valid mining data from other miners. With MintSolo, that time has changed.

Using the MintSolo Platform, all of your mining is done on your local Umbrel installation. Since all mining operations run on your local machine, you maintain a low-latency connection, which enhances your solo mining and improves your odds of hitting a Bitcoin block, as faster communication is critical for submitting work quickly and gaining an edge in mining. In addition, since all your mining is occurring on your local node, you are contributing to the Bitcoin Network’s decentralisation.

Our Platform integrates with the three most popular Bitcoin Nodes (Core, Knots, Libre Relay). You select which node software you want to run. We do not lock you into a specific node software.

Upon installation, we generate a secure, personalised API URL that is available only to you. Using this URL, you can interface your local mining operation to our hosted MintSolo Analytics Dashboard. There is no need for port forwarding or opening of any ports within your firewall.

We integrate your mining statistics into your dashboard, which you access using a secure website using your own credentials. Your data remains accessible only by you, anywhere in the world. In addition to your personal mining statistics, we have aggregated data from all users of the MintSolo platform, enabling us to present you with augmented analytics that are generally not available to solo miners.

All of these benefits help you to understand your miners’ performance, maintain your self-sovereignty, and ensure you gain the full block reward for your solo mining efforts.

So why Run MintSolo

The primary benefit of running the MintSolo Umbrel App is complete control and decentralization. Umbrel users are already committed to running their own Bitcoin Node—verifying every transaction and block reward themselves.

Our new app completes this sovereignty loop, creating a direct, trustless link between the miner’s ASIC or mining device and their personal node.

There are no pool fees, no third-party custody, and the rewards are sent directly to your configured Bitcoin address. This is pure self-sovereignty in action, allowing individual miners to contribute to the network’s security without reliance on large, centralised mining pools.

Technical Benefits

Solo mining is a low-probability, high-reward endeavour, where every millisecond counts. By running the MintSolo Platform locally on your Umbrel hardware, you benefit from ultra-low-latency communication between your miner and your node. This minimizes the risk of submitting a stale share and ensures that when your hardware finds the golden hash, the block template is relayed as quickly as possible.

Using the MintSolo Dashboard, integrated with your miners’ statistical data, provides you with analytical results you wouldn’t otherwise have. Thus, enhancing your knowledge and understanding of your environment’s capabilities.

This tight integration means your mining effort is maximized, providing the best possible chance to beat the monumental odds and secure a full block reward (currently 3.125 BTC, plus fees).
