Choosing between pool mining and solo mining is entirely up to you and depends on what you prefer. Here's a comparison of both to help you pick the right one for you.

Solo mining

In this mode, you'll mine solo โ€” just you and your miners.

Who can join

Solo mining is open to all miner holders. Once you get your first miner, you're automatically in this mode.

Rewards

You'll receive regular BTC rewards every day just for holding miners. The rewards you get generally depends on your miners' specs like power and energy efficiency.

Maintenance discounts

  • Discount for clicking the Service button

  • Discount for the Mining farm level

  • Extra Solo mining discount based on veGOMINING voting results

Pool mining

In this mode, you'll unite your power with up to 50 holders and mine together.

Who can join

  • If you have 10 TH or more, you can join a mining pool as a pool member

  • If you have 100 TH or more, you can create your own mining pool and be the pool owner

Rewards

Pool mining simulates real mining. The more computing power your pool has, the more likely it is to mine a block, resulting in rewards for you.

In larger pools, rewards come more frequently due to higher pool power. In smaller pools, rewards are less frequent but higher for each member, based on their share in the pool's power.

Pool owner gets an extra 1% of each reward of his pool if at least 4 people join it.
