MintSolo is Now Live!
We’re excited to announce that after 6 months of Beta Testing, we are now opening up MintSolo to all miners.
If you are interested in giving our Bitcoin Solo Mining Platform a try, follow the instructions below to get connected and start using MintSolo. We also encourage you to provide us with your feedback to help us establish MintSolo as the best Bitcoin Solo Mining Platform available today!
What is Bitcoin Solo Mining
Bitcoin’s algorithm specifies that a block is found every ~10 minutes. The algorithm uses a defined difficulty that is adjusted every 2 weeks to ensure that as mining machines become more powerful and the number of miners grows, Bitcoin blocks will continue to be produced every 10 minutes. With the advent of ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) and the commercialization of Bitcoin mining, the difficulty has climbed to over 150 Ths.
There is a movement today within the Bitcoin community for smaller, distributed mining by individuals. This mining allows a single miner, using inexpensive equipment, to have a chance of finding a Bitcoin block. Once found, the individual who finds the block reaps all of the block rewards for that block. Today, that reward is in excess of $300,000!
The term Bitcoin Lottery has been used to describe this mining movement.
Solo Mining for Bitcoin is like buying a lottery ticket that gives you a chance at hitting it big every 10 minutes.
What is MintSolo
In short, MintSolo is a Bitcoin solo mining pool. However, we prefer not to call it a mining pool because it implies that miners are pooling their mining resources together in an attempt to find a Bitcoin Block. Instead, we describe MintSolo as a mining platform explicitly designed for Bitcoin Solo Miners.
The MintSolo platform runs several Bitcoin Nodes, a custom Bitcoin Mining Stratum environment, and a Bitcoin Miner Statistics website. Our platform has been fine-tuned to provide solo miners with a network that enhances their probability of finding a Bitcoin Block and thus hitting the Lottery!
We’ve been working on the MintSolo platform since the beginning of 2025.
Getting Started with MintSolo
Follow the steps below to start mining on our platform. The only requirement is that you already have a Bitcoin miner to connect to our platform. It’s very easy to get started, but if you do have any problems, post for assistance in our Discord Support forum.
Getting Started
Step 1 – (Configuring your miner)
The 1st step is to connect your miner to our platform and start mining. In this step, you will be configuring your miner to begin mining on the MintSolo Mining Platform. In this step, we will use an example of configuring a Bitaxe Gamma 601 miner. If you have a different miner, the steps are similar; refer to your miner’s documentation for configuration.
Below, we show you an image with an example of configuring the Bitaxe Gamma 601 for mining on our platform.
Stratum Host – set this setting to miner.mintsolo.com (do not include stratum+tcp:// or port here)
Stratum Port – set this to 3333
Stratum User – enter your Bitcoin Wallet Address
Worker_Name – append an optional unique Worker Name in the format .worker_name to your Bitcoin Wallet Address
Note – A worker name is optional, but our platform allows you to segment your miners by their worker_name if one is provided. In the image example, we appended the worker_name “.Bitaxe”. The worker_name should be a unique name for each one of your miners.
Stratum Password – Our platform does not require this value, so you can use anything you want for this.
In the Bitaxe Gamma configuration, you can configure a fallback mining configuration. We highly recommend setting this to a secondary mining pool in case you experience network issues connecting to your primary mining location.
Your miner should now be configured, and you should be connected and mining on MintSolo’s Solo Bitcoin Mining Platform.
Step 2 – (Viewing your miner’s statistics)
In this step, you will connect your web browser to our Miner Stats website, which will allow you to monitor your miner’s performance.
Open a web browser and use this URL to gain access to MintSolo’s Solo Bitcoin Mining Statistics page: https://stats.mintsolo.com
Click the View My Statistics button; you will need to create an account and verify your email address. Once you’ve created your account, verified your email address, and logged in, navigate to the Settings section and ensure that you add your Bitcoin Address. Enter just the Bitcoin address; do not include the worker info here.
Once completed, allow ~5 minutes for your Miners to display on the Miner-Stats page. If, after 10 minutes, you still don’t see stats for your miners, double-check the Bitcoin Address you supplied on the settings page and ensure it matches the one you used in Step 1 above.
The Bitcoin Address is used to display all of your miners mining to this address, which will appear in the statistics.
The MintSolo Dashboard has been developed to be device-responsive, hence it can be used on your computer or any mobile device. Our dashboard will allow you to monitor the performance of your mining on Mintsolo 24 hours per day / 7 days per week.
We hope you enjoy your experience using MintSolo and provide us with your feedback on our Discord Server.
