# Solo Mining Pools Directory — Proof of Work

Comprehensive directory of Proof of Work (PoW) coins with dedicated solo mining pools, fee comparisons, network difficulty, and solo mining odds tracked by BackPow.

## Solo Mining Mechanics

- Independent Block Discovery: In solo mining, a miner attempts to find a full block independently without sharing hash power with a collective pool.
- Block Reward Distribution: The miner receives the entire block reward (block subsidy + transaction fees), minus the pool's nominal fee (typically 0% to 2%).
- Payout: Reward coins are paid directly to the miner address via the block coinbase transaction, maturing after 100 block confirmations on most PoW chains.
- Mathematical Model: Solo discovery follows a memoryless Poisson process `P(X >= 1) = 1 - exp(-t / T)`, where `T = (Network Hashrate / Miner Hashrate) * Block Time`.

## Summary Metrics

- Total Tracked PoW Networks with Solo Pools: 90
- Total Tracked Solo Pools: 733
- Networks with 0% Fee Solo Pools: 29
- Benchmark Solo Architecture: Con Kolivas' Solo CKPool (C engine, direct bitcoind coinbase output, 2% fee)
- Primary Zero-Fee Engine: Public-Pool (open-source Stratum V1)
