OwnBlock is a multi-coin solo mining platform built on proprietary infrastructure in Europe. We support XMR mining with RandomX and BTC/BCH mining with SHA-256 ASIC hardware, including ASICBoost-capable devices where supported by the miner firmware.
We support Stratum V1 for broad miner compatibility. Stratum V2 is supported where technically applicable and where the miner, firmware or proxy stack supports it, especially for SHA-256 mining endpoints.
Key technical features of OwnBlock
- Direct payout from the block's coinbase/miner transaction: when a miner finds a valid block, the block template is constructed with separate reward-bearing outputs for the miner payout and the OwnBlock fee, reducing the need for secondary payout transactions.
- No KYC: miners connect using a wallet address. OwnBlock does not request identity documents or create KYC profiles for miners.
- Proprietary pool software: the core pool software is developed by TECLATINA exclusively for OwnBlock, without relying on third-party pool engines.
- Broad miner compatibility: compatible with XMRig for XMR/RandomX and with common SHA-256 ASIC miners such as Antminer and WhatsMiner through supported Stratum endpoints.
- Fixed and verifiable fees: XMR 2%, BTC 2%, BCH 2% at the time this article was published. The platform fee is built into the block reward distribution, making the payout structure auditable at the protocol level. We recommend checking our homepage to verify current rates.
Our objective is simple: let the protocol handle the reward distribution as much as possible, rather than an internal payout ledger. This reduces the trust a miner must place in the platform.
If you want to get started, choose the XMR, BTC, or BCH pool you need and use our setup guides before pointing hardware or rented hashrate at it.
