SoloFury Fleet: Split, Group and Pool
Three ways to offer Bitcoin mining to the clients of your hosting, with your quota written into the coinbase of every block. This page compares the three modes so you can choose the one that fits your fleet.
SoloFury Fleet lets a hosting operator offer Bitcoin mining to its clients. The operator receives a quota of every block in the coinbase, next to the client and to our 1%.
There are three modes. Fleet Split is solo mining for each client: a block pays the client whose machines found it. Fleet Group is solo mining for a closed group of people: the group mines as one, and each block it finds is divided among its members. Fleet Pool is a PPLNS pool for one datacenter: each block is divided by the work of the last shares. Fleet Split is live today; Group and Pool are in preparation.

Key takeaways
- Every payout is a coinbase output. The block itself pays 1% to us, your quota to you and the rest to your client, in one transaction.
- Fleet Split is true solo mining per client: the client who finds a block gets the client part of that whole block.
- Fleet Group is solo mining shared by a closed group of people. Each block the group finds is divided among its members, by the work done since the previous block.
- Fleet Pool is a PPLNS pool for a datacenter. Each block is divided by the work in a sliding window of recent shares; small parts are carried over as credit.
- Over many years the expected value is about the same in all three modes. What changes is how often a client receives something, and how much each time.
- All three use the same tools: wallet-signature login, invitation links, client pages, Telegram alerts, CSV and PDF reports, a read-only API and written terms.
The three modes at a glance
The table below compares the three modes on the questions operators ask first. The example client has 2 PH/s inside a fleet of 100 PH/s.
| Fleet Split | Fleet Group | Fleet Pool | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of mining | Solo mining, one agreement per client | Solo mining for a closed group of people | Pool mining with PPLNS payouts |
| Status | Live since October 2026 | In preparation | In preparation |
| Suited to | Hosting of any size, clients who want a shot at a whole block | A group of clients who agree to share every block they find | Datacenters with at least 100 PH/s committed |
| Who is paid when a block is found | Only the client whose machines found it, plus you and us | Every member of the group, in proportion to the work since the previous block; the count restarts at every block | Every client of the datacenter, in proportion to the work in a sliding window of recent shares (PPLNS) |
| Client with 2 PH/s in a 100 PH/s fleet | One block every 9.6 years on average; 9.9% chance in 12 months | About 5.2 fleet blocks per year; about 2% of the client part of each block | About 5.2 fleet blocks per year; about 2% of the client part of each block |
| Your quota | Set per client | Set per group | Set per fleet |
| Our fee | 1%, in the coinbase | 1%, in the coinbase; parts below the payout threshold also go to this output | 1%, in the coinbase |
| Number of clients | One agreement per client, no fixed limit | Limited by the size of the coinbase; the limit is set before launch | No fixed limit; the coinbase grows with the clients |
| Parts below the payout threshold | Not applicable: one client per block | A part below the payout threshold goes to the pool fee output and is shown in pages and reports | A part below the payout threshold becomes a credit, paid in a following block |
| A client leaves | Disconnects the machines; the agreement closes after 7 days without shares | Shares already sent in the round still pay; the manager can remove the client after 14 days without shares | The client keeps a decreasing part while the window still holds their work |
Difficulty 140.58 T (16 October 2026), reward 3.125 BTC, network fees excluded. Averages: a block can come tomorrow or take much longer.
Which mode fits your fleet
Choose by what your clients value most: the chance of a whole block, or regular smaller payouts.
- Choose Fleet Split if your clients want classic solo mining: a real chance at the client part of a whole block. It works for any fleet size and is live today.
- Choose Fleet Group if a group of your clients wants to solo mine together and share every block the group finds. The group finds blocks more often than any single member: a group of 50 PH/s finds 2.6 blocks per year on average. Each block pays the members who worked since the previous one.
- Choose Fleet Pool if you run a datacenter with at least 100 PH/s and want a dedicated PPLNS pool for your clients. PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) pays each block by the recent work of every client, so payouts follow the hashrate steadily over time.
Fleet Split is the mode available today. A client can keep most of the hashrate in an FPPS or PPLNS pool and send a chosen share to Fleet. That share can be whole machines, or a percentage of every machine with Braiins OS pool groups.
Same block, three ways to share it
All three modes pay about the same expected value over many years; they differ in frequency and size. Take a client with 2 PH/s in a fleet of 100 PH/s, and leave your quota aside for a moment.
| Fleet Split | Fleet Group or Pool | |
|---|---|---|
| Blocks that pay this client | Only the client’s own blocks: 0.105 per year on average | Every fleet block: 5.2 per year on average |
| Size of one payout | 99% of 3.125 BTC, minus your quota | About 2% of that amount, minus your quota |
| Chance of receiving something in 12 months | 9.9% | 99.5% |
| Expected value per year | About 0.32 BTC, minus your quota | About 0.32 BTC, minus your quota |
The expected value is an average over many years, not an income. In Fleet Split most clients will see no block for years, and a few will see one early. In a 100 PH/s fleet on Fleet Group or Fleet Pool, almost every client sees small payouts every year.
What every mode shares
The three modes use the same building blocks, so an operator learns them once.
- Coinbase payouts. Our 1%, your quota and the client part are outputs of the block’s coinbase transaction. Nobody holds a balance.
- Wallet signatures. You sign in to the console by signing a message with your Bitcoin wallet. Each client confirms the agreement the same way. There are no passwords and no accounts.
- Invitation links. You create a link for each client from the console; the client opens it, reads the split and the odds, and signs.
- Pages. A public page for your fleet, a private console for you, and a page for each client with the agreement, the machines and the blocks.
- Telegram. Alerts from @SoloFuryFleetBot for you and, if they activate them, for your clients.
- Reports and API. One line per block in CSV and PDF, with the coinbase txid and every output in satoshi. A read-only API key for your own tools.
- Written terms. Rules, timings and responsibilities are published at solofury.com/fleet/terms/.
What the numbers say
The more hashrate your fleet sends to Fleet, the more often a block arrives. This table shows the whole fleet; in Fleet Split each block goes to the client who found it, in Group and Pool it is divided among all clients.
| Hashrate your fleet sends to Fleet | Average time per block | Expected blocks per year | At least 1 block in 12 months | Expected BTC per year, before your quota |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 PH/s | 3.8 years | 0.26 | 23% | 0.81 BTC |
| 10 PH/s | 1.9 years | 0.52 | 41% | 1.6 BTC |
| 20 PH/s | 349 days | 1.0 | 65% | 3.2 BTC |
| 50 PH/s | 140 days | 2.6 | 93% | 8.1 BTC |
| 100 PH/s | 70 days | 5.2 | 99.5% | 16.2 BTC |
Formula: average time per block = difficulty × 232 ÷ hashrate. Chance of at least one block in a period t = 1 − e−t/T, where T is the average time per block. Expected BTC = blocks per year × 3.125 BTC × 99%.
Source: network difficulty 140.58 T, set at block 971,712 on 16 October 2026 (pickaxe.io, phemex.com). Difficulty changes about every 2 weeks. Network fees are excluded; they add to every block.
How we work
We build every block template with the payout outputs already inside the coinbase. When a machine of an agreement finds a block, the network creates the bitcoin directly at the addresses of the parties.
- Before a block: on the client page, “Verify the payout now” reads the real template of the next block and shows each output in satoshi.
- After a block: the Telegram alert links our Block Info page, with the coinbase, its outputs and the confirmations. The amounts on pages, alerts and reports come from the on-chain coinbase.
- Maturity: coinbase bitcoin become spendable after 100 confirmations, about 17 hours. This is a Bitcoin rule.
- Support: [email protected] answers within 1 business day (European time). Found blocks, dissolutions and incidents come first.
A node close to your machines
On request, we can open a pool node close to your hosting or datacenter. A nearby node shortens the path between your machines and the pool. Location, timing and terms are agreed by email at [email protected].
How to start with Fleet Split
Registration takes up to 1 business day; after that, each client takes about 10 minutes. These are the steps; the Fleet Split guide explains each one in detail.
- Read the operator guide: Fleet Split: Setup Guide for Hosting Operators.
- Write to [email protected] with your fleet name, your logo and the Bitcoin address you will use to sign in. We register it once.
- Sign in to the console at solofury.com/fleet/manage/ with a wallet signature.
- Add your first client and send the invitation link, together with the client guide.
- Point the machines to the credentials shown in the console once the agreement is ready.

Fleet Group and Fleet Pool: what is decided
Both modes are in preparation. This section lists the rules already decided; the guides will follow when each mode is ready.
Fleet Group
- Solo mining for a closed group of people: the members you invite, and only them. Every block found by any machine of the group is divided among all members.
- Each client’s part follows its share of the work done since the previous block. The count restarts at every block.
- A part below the coinbase payout threshold goes to the pool fee output. Pages and reports show it, with the amount.
- A client with no shares for 14 days can be removed by the manager.
- Your quota is one value for the whole group.
Fleet Pool
- A PPLNS pool dedicated to one datacenter, with at least 100 PH/s committed. On request it runs on a node close to the datacenter.
- Each block is divided by the work in a sliding window of recent shares. The window length is set for each datacenter and written in its terms.
- A part too small for the coinbase becomes a credit and is paid in a following block.
- Access is limited to the datacenter’s network.

Which Fleet mode can I use today?
Fleet Split is live on Bitcoin (BTC) since October 2026. Fleet Group and Fleet Pool are in preparation: this page lists what is already decided for each of them.
Where do the bitcoin go when a block is found?
Into the coinbase transaction of the block itself. Each party has its own output: 1% to us, your quota to your address, the client's part to the client's address. You can read the outputs on any block explorer.
Can the 1% SoloFury fee be negotiated?
The fee is a fixed 1% for every manager and every agreement. Your quota comes out of the client's part, and you agree it with your client.
Who decides the manager quota?
You and your client. We write into the coinbase the quota that both of you confirm with a wallet signature. In Fleet Split the quota can differ from client to client.
Do my clients have to leave their FPPS or PPLNS pool?
They can keep most of their hashrate where it is and send a share of their choice to Fleet: whole machines, or a percentage of every machine with Braiins OS pool groups.
What does a client need to join?
A bc1q or bc1p Bitcoin address from a wallet that can sign messages, such as Sparrow, Electrum or BlueWallet, and about 5 minutes to sign one message. Exchange deposit addresses are not accepted.
What happens to an orphaned block?
An orphaned block is a block the network replaced with another one at the same height. It pays nobody, and nobody owes anything to anyone. Pages, reports and Telegram alerts mark it as orphaned.
How do I get access as a manager?
Write to [email protected] with your fleet name and the Bitcoin address you will use to sign in. We register the address once; from then on you add clients yourself from the console.
