I was mining in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. Sometimes solo, sometimes in a pool. Sometimes other miners rented me their hashpower (yes that was possible on GHASH pool). It was fun and good rewards.

But today, if I would not have enough hash power (like 2-3 containers full of miners), I will mine solo. Just for fun.

Every Bitcoin miner faces a fundamental decision before their first hash is computed: pool mining or solo mining? This choice shapes your economics, your privacy, your relationship with the Bitcoin network, and — whether you realize it or not — the health of Bitcoin’s decentralization itself.

Pool mining offers predictable, steady payouts by combining hashrate with thousands of other miners. Solo mining means you point your hardware directly at the Bitcoin network, accepting extreme variance in exchange for the full block reward — currently 3.125 BTC — and the philosophical satisfaction of mining Bitcoin the way Satoshi intended.

This guide breaks down every dimension of the pool vs solo mining debate with real numbers, honest analysis, and a clear recommendation framework based on your hashrate, goals, and values. Whether you are running a single Bitaxe on your desk or a rack of S21s in your garage, this is the decision guide you need.
