How solo100.org works

Last update: 03/06/2026

Traditional mining pools usually reward miners based on hashrate contribution or submitted shares.
solo100.org uses a different approach where rewards depend on the quality of the best share found by miners.

• More hashrate = More rewards.
• More shares = More rewards.

• The best share found by each miner determines their reward.

In practice, this means that miners are incentivized to find the highest difficulty shares possible, rather than simply submitting as many shares as they can.
So: more luck = more rewards.

Miner C found the rarest share and receives the largest reward.

• Higher difficulty share = rarer.
• Rarer shares needs on average more hashrate.
• The probability depends on the hashrate.

• Makes more valuable the best shares.
• Introduces the element of "Luck competition".
• More interesting.
• Different from traditional pools.

• Rewards can be less predictable.
• Very high variance in rewards.
• Not ideal for those who prefer stable earnings.

Higher difficulty shares are exponentially rarer.

If you want to calculate the expected time for a specific share difficulty, you can use the Share Luck Calculator.

solo100.org introduces an unusual reward model where share quality becomes the central element of mining rewards.
This creates a very different mining experience compared to traditional pools.
