Solo Mine Bitcoin (BTC)
Point your SHA-256 hardware at the CWI-MKPool Bitcoin solo pool and keep the block reward. Flat 2% fee, no custody, direct on-chain payouts to your own wallet.
What it means to solo mine Bitcoin
A Bitcoin solo mining pool coordinates the work of finding a block, but the reward is not shared. When your hardware finds the block, the Bitcoin network pays the reward (minus the 2% pool fee) straight to your wallet address. There is no pool wallet holding your BTC, no payout threshold, and no withdrawal step. You mine, you win, you get paid by the network directly.
