What is solo Bitcoin mining?

Solo mining means you mine independently, keeping 100% of any block reward—no splitting with a pool. High risk, high (rare) reward.

How rare are solo Bitcoin mining wins?

Over the last year, solo pools found 20 blocks total—about one every 18-19 days across all solo miners.

Can anyone try solo Bitcoin mining today?

Sure, join CKPool or similar. But with sky-high difficulty, it's a true lottery—expect long dry spells unless you've got serious hashpower.
