1. Point your miner to stratum.zcashsolopool.online on your chosen port

3. Password can be anything (e.g., x)
4. Start mining — 98% of block reward goes to you, 2% pool fee, paid via coinbase directly to your wallet

Port guide: Use 3331 for variable difficulty (recommended for most miners), 3332/3333 for fixed difficulty, 3334 for TLS, or 3340 for Stratum V2.

Solo mining means you mine independently — when you find a block, you receive the full block reward (currently 2.5 ZEC + fees). There's no pool fee and no sharing with other miners, but blocks are found less frequently.

Port 3331 (vardiff): Best for most miners — difficulty auto-adjusts between 1 and 1024 based on your hashrate.
Port 3332 (fixed-512): For miners who want a fixed difficulty of 512. NiceHash compatible.
Port 3333 (fixed-1024): For high-hashrate miners who want fixed difficulty of 1024. NiceHash compatible.
Port 3334 (TLS): Same as 3333 but encrypted with TLS for secure connections.
Port 3340 (SV2): Stratum V2 protocol with Noise encryption. Difficulty 4096.

When a block is found, the coinbase transaction pays out directly: 98% to the miner who found the block, 2% pool fee. Payouts go directly to the wallet address you set as your username — no payout threshold, no waiting period, no middleman.

2% pool fee on block rewards. The remaining 98% goes directly to the finder via coinbase. No hidden fees, no subscription, no minimum payout.
