Curated mining pools, hand-picked by SoloChance.org.
Awesome Experimental Pools from SoloChance.org
Pools built and hosted by SoloChance.org with unique payment schemes that break from the traditional "whole block to one winner" model — designed to give small-hashrate miners more frequent, meaningful outcomes instead of near-zero odds.
| Pool | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| The first pool to gamify Bitcoin mining. It invented stratum gaming: the top 100 addresses ranked by share score each receive an equal cut of the block reward, turning solo mining from an all-or-nothing bet into a leaderboard you can actually climb with a small miner like a Bitaxe. | Visit → | |
| A Bitcoin Cash port of Bitcoin Parasite Pool — the block finder gets 1 BCH, and the rest is shared proportionally by contribution. The first block was found on August 9, 2026 at 23:18:42, as block #963375. Blocks are very frequent — visit the Found Blocks page. | Visit → | |
| Brand new — the world's second Stratum game after solo100.org, and the world's first Bitcoin Cash mining meta-game. The block finder gets a 1 BCH bonus, and the remaining reward is split among the round's Best 13 shares (38.3% / 23.6% / 14.6%, then 2.35% each for 4th–13th). The first block was found on August 26, 2026 at 14:21:37, as block #965765 — visit the Found Blocks page. | Visit → |
