Why This Pool?

Non-custodial means the pool does not hold your mining rewards in an internal balance. There is no "account balance" that the pool promises to pay later.

If a block is found, the payout is written into the block itself (the coinbase transaction — that's the special transaction that creates new bitcoins). Your address is inside that transaction, so the Bitcoin network pays you directly.

Mining is repeatedly trying random numbers until one of them matches Bitcoin's difficulty target. Nobody can "guess" the right number — it's like rolling a huge dice billions of times per second.

In a classic pool, many miners share the work and split rewards often. In solo mining, you only get paid if you personally find a full valid block. That's why it feels like a lottery: payouts are rare, but big.

• Pool mining → smaller, frequent payouts
• Solo mining → rare payouts, but you can win the whole block

The fee is transparent and on-chain. If a block is found, the block's coinbase transaction contains multiple outputs:

• one output pays your wallet (your share of the block reward)
• one output pays the pool wallet (the fee)

No withdrawals, no custody, no "pool balance". The fee is simply part of the block's payout split, visible to anyone.

A pool can't change Bitcoin's randomness. But it can reduce wasted work. Your real chance is based on your effective hashrate, not the number on the box.

Wasted work happens when your miner is hashing on old information — for example:

• Stale shares: your miner submits work for a block template that is already outdated
• Reconnects / lag: time spent disconnected is time not mining
• Slow job updates: if your miner learns about new blocks late, you waste hashes

This pool is built to keep jobs clean and current, so more of your hashes are "real attempts" on the latest chain tip. That's not hype — it's simply reducing waste.

A share is proof that your miner is working. It's like showing progress. Most shares are not full blocks — they're "almost" solutions that are easier to find.

The pool uses shares to:

• measure your hashrate and stability
• detect connection issues early
• adjust difficulty (VarDiff) so reporting stays smooth

If the pool correctly builds block templates, coinbase transactions, and merkle roots — and Bitcoin Core accepts blocks — then the behavior is the same across regtest, testnet, and mainnet.

The main difference on mainnet is the environment: higher mempool activity, more peers, more real-world latency, and higher consequences. That's why we run mainnet in stages (internal → limited public → full public) and add monitoring/alerts.

AI cannot predict blocks and cannot beat SHA256 randomness. Anyone claiming that is selling a story.

Where AI helps is practical:

• detect problems early (latency spikes, stale spikes, misconfiguration)
• reduce waste by improving job delivery and miner stability
• explain your stats in human language (a "mining copilot")

The pool cannot "steal" your hashrate — it can only send you work. The real risk in mining is custody and opaque accounting. That's exactly what non-custodial design avoids.

If a block is found, your payout address is inside the block's coinbase transaction. The pool fee is also visible there. There is no hidden withdrawal step.

This pool is for:

• home miners who want a real shot at a full block
• Bitcoiners who don't want pools holding balances
• people who enjoy solo mining for fun + sovereignty

You probably should NOT use it if you need predictable daily income. In that case, use a PPS/PPLNS pool designed for smoothing variance.
