Monero · RandomX · Non-custodial solo mining pool

Looking for a SoloPool Alternative for Monero?

Plenty of solo Monero miners used to mine on SoloPool.org, one of the longest-running services in this space. SoloPool officially delisted Monero (XMR) on 30 May 2026, according to its own delisted coins page. If you've been looking for somewhere to keep solo mining XMR, here's how OwnBlock's pool works.

To put that in context, OwnBlock operates solo mining pools for Monero (XMR), Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Before getting into the detail, though, it's worth clearing up the question that brings most miners here.

Is SoloPool XMR Still Active?

No. As mentioned above, SoloPool officially delisted Monero support on 30 May 2026 — which changes where you mine, not whether you still can. That's why we offer a fully documented Monero solo pool that is up and running, so you can resume XMR mining.

Why Mine XMR with OwnBlock

Picking XMR mining back up here won't mean more work either: no need to run your own node, handle maintenance or wrestle with complicated configurations — you just connect and start mining. And if you rent hashrate instead of running your own hardware, we work smoothly with NiceHash and MiningRigRentals too. Here, in concrete terms, is what OwnBlock offers:

Non-custodial reward

The reward is embedded directly in the block's coinbase transaction, instead of accumulating as a balance for a later payout.

Transparent fee

A 2% fee, only when you find a block.

No KYC

You only need a Monero wallet address to start mining.

Rented hashrate compatible

For Monero, we work with NiceHash and MiningRigRentals if you'd rather rent power than run your own hardware.

Servers in Europe

Infrastructure optimised for low latency in the region. NiceHash operates exclusively out of Europe, so we offer the lowest possible ping, and most MiningRigRentals vendors run their service from this same region.

Telegram alert notifications

Link your Telegram account and get notified when you find a block or your miner goes offline. See our setup guide.

If You Used SoloPool, Migrating to OwnBlock Is Simple

Open your miner's configuration

In XMRig, that's the config.json file or the command-line flags you're already running.

Replace the pool endpoint

Swap the URL and port for OwnBlock's. The exact format and port are in our XMR connection guide.

Update the username

Use your own XMR wallet address followed by a worker name, in the format shown in the guide.

Restart and confirm

Restart your miner and check the pool dashboard to confirm shares are being accepted.

Direct Coinbase Rewards

Of all the benefits above, the first one is worth pausing on. When you find a block on OwnBlock, the reward is embedded directly in that block's coinbase transaction, instead of accumulating as a custodial balance for a later payout: you're paid in the same block you find, with no intermediate balance in between. If you want the full technical explanation, including on-chain verification, we cover it on our Monero solo mining pool page.

Start Mining XMR

Whenever you're ready to get back to mining XMR, connecting your miner takes minutes, with no signup or KYC required.

No. You only need a Monero wallet address to get started.

What fee does OwnBlock charge?

A 2% fee, automatically deducted from any block you find. If you don't find one, there's no charge at all.
