What are the current options that allow non-kyc withdrawal?

Also looking to maximize return ofc.

Hey everybody,

which free and open-source mining pools are currently available that could be operated via self-hosting with an existing full node under Linux? I know that there is the soloCK pool available on bitbucket, but as far as I remember it was said somewhere that this code cannot be used like this but requires some customization. Is that still true or false information? Is there a ready-made and functional version of the soloCK pool that you could build, install and use on a Linux node which is already running bitcoind? soloCK is trustworthy and we know it works as we've seen dozens of blocks mined using this software several times (coinbase tx sig).

I recently read somewhere about a solo mining pool called "Public Pool" that can either be installed and used as part of umbrel as an app or could also be operated as a self-hosted solo mining pool isolated from umbrelOS. I am not sure, but at a first glance I got the impression that this is possibly not complete open-source and thus not trustworthy. I don't want to mine a block to find out afterwards that something weird happened and I never got the reward. I also read some negative reports about this solo pool called “Public Pool” on the net, but I am not sure if this is true. Can anyone confirm this or is it just based on the personal sensitivities of individuals? What are your opinion about that solo mining pool called "Public Pool" ?

I tried looking for some alternatives and stumbled across:

https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp
https://github.com/Coleganet/Coleganet-Pool-Install
https://github.com/jtoomim/p2pool
https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal

Although they have not been updated for a long time and it looks like they are not updated regularly.

Then I've also found this here:

https://github.com/stratum-mining/stratum

but I'm not sure whether it even fulfills the intended purpose or not.

So, are there any miners among you who mine at home on their own full node and with their own solo pool, maybe even with a successfully mined block and who could recommend a specific setup? I am aware of the risks of high latency risks and possible orphan blocks resulting from this but: please - don't start a debate about why not mine on existing solo pools, that's not the point.

I look forward to a lively discussion, thank you.

Hey guys, here is my current set up:

 - Raspberry pi 5 8gb with a 2tb nvme
 - OS: Pi OS full desktop version
 - Bitcoin Core fully synced
 - A gamma 601 that is solo/lottery mining through ckpool

What I would like to do is to set up a solo mining pool on the Pi OS, so I can mine directly to my own node. I've tried setting up ckpool with no success, I couldn't find a working tutorial on Google. I read somewhere that p2pool.in can work with Pi OS, but unsure how legit it is...

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

p.s. I know umbrelOS is the easy way out, since they have bitcoin core and public pool in their app store. I do want to learn how to do this on Pi OS though.

One thing that I cannot get enough information in the internet is what constitutes as a `share` in pooled mining.

In pooled mining, each miner gets a target difficulty by the pool. This target difficulty varies pool-to-pool.

The ASIC miner tries to find a solution ABOVE this target difficulty. Typical log looks like this:


Now from the pools perspective, what are my shares?

Are they

1024 + 1024 = 2048
Or
2914.8 + 1168.5 = 4,083.3

I do know that the hashrate is calculated using target difficulty of the shares w.r.t time.

But I am confused about the shares that the pool track.

It seems the last release of P2Pool was in 2017, from what I found P2Pool is now only really popular in Monero. Does the Bitcoin P2Pool still work though? Although if it did, you would likely see a lot more blocks mined by it on the chain.
