The solo CKpool is great, but ultimately using the pool introduces some trust that shouldn’t exist in a pure solo mining setup.

There isn’t any need to set up a full blown mining pool anymore. BFGMiner [and CGMiner] can handle everything we need.

Once BFGminer is running, simply point your ASIC hardware to the IP address your bitcoind and BFGMiner are running on (port 3334) instead of a normal mining pool like Slushpool. You should begin to start seeing low difficulty shares being submitted by the mining hardware in the BFGminer console output. That’s it!

I implore anyone who is considering mining solo to realistically weight up their chances before doing so. This site will give you an accurate view of the probabilities http://solochance.com
