You keep the entire reward plus fees, with no pool cut. The catch is the waiting — a small machine can go years without a hit, and the machine still eats power every day.
Enter your hashrate and see your real odds: how often you would expect a block, what the wait looks like, and what the power costs meanwhile.
We ask ckpool for you, so your address stays off their logs as a visitor of this page.

What this means. Solo mining pays nothing until you find a block — then it pays the whole block at once. The wait is an average, not a schedule: half the time you wait longer than the number above. A pool pays the same on average, in small steady amounts.
Defaults are indicative. Mining difficulty and prices move constantly, so put in current values for a realistic answer.
You keep the entire reward plus fees, with no pool cut. The catch is the waiting — a small machine can go years without a hit, and the machine still eats power every day.
The same long-run average minus a 1–2% fee, but paid steadily. Easier to plan around, easier to cover the electricity bill with.
At $0.08/kWh in our facility, a 3,500 W machine costs about $204 a month instead of roughly €766 at a German household rate. That difference is what turns a losing setup into a working one.
