SoloFury Arena: The Complete Guide to the Solo Mining Leaderboard, Luck & Miner Cards
How to use SoloFury Arena — the live near-miss feed, the fair luck leaderboard where a Bitaxe can outrank a farm, hardware leagues, The Climb, badges and your Miner Card.
SoloFury Arena is a live solo-mining leaderboard and profile system that ranks every connected miner by luck — your best share divided by the work you did — across all five SHA-256 chains SoloFury supports. Because it measures how far you punched above your weight instead of raw hashrate, a 1.4 TH/s Bitaxe can legitimately outrank a 940 TH/s farm. This guide explains every part of the Arena and how to use it.
Key Takeaways
- The Arena shows the hunt, not just the wins. It streams every near-miss live — the 99.99% of solo mining that block explorers never show you.
- Luck is fair. Ranking is best share divided by work done, so hardware size does not decide the leaderboard.
- Leagues group you by measured hashrate — Pico, Nano, Workshop, Rack, Farm — so you compete against similar rigs.
- Your Miner Card is permanent and needs no login. Search your wallet address, exactly like the dashboard.
- Everything is verifiable. Every number is measured by the pool and exposed through a public endpoint you can check yourself.
What is SoloFury Arena?
SoloFury Arena is the community and competition hub of the pool. It replaces a plain “blocks found” wall with four live sections: The Hunt, Champions, Leaderboard, and Your Card. Where a block explorer only ever shows you who won, the Arena shows the entire chase between blocks — every miner’s closest attempts, ranked fairly and updated every 30 seconds.
The core idea is simple: solo mining is mostly silence punctuated by rare wins, and that silence is what makes people quit. The Arena turns that silence into something you can watch, measure, and be proud of.
What is mining luck, and why is it fair?
Mining luck in the Arena is your best-ever share difficulty divided by your total accumulated work (luck = bestever / shares). It answers one honest question: given how much you actually hashed, how good was your single luckiest moment? A value above 1x means you found a share rarer than your work “should” have produced — you punched above your weight.
This is fair because it cancels out hardware size. A big farm does more work, so it needs a proportionally bigger best share to score the same luck. Here is a real example from the pool: a roughly 1 TH/s rig with a 4.54-billion best share scores about 51.8x, while a 940 TH/s farm scores about 1.5x. The small rig ranks higher — legitimately, and impossible to fake, because the pool measures both numbers.
What are the hardware leagues?
Leagues split the leaderboard by measured 7-day hashrate, so you compete against rigs your own size instead of being buried under industrial farms. Membership is based on what the pool actually measures, never on a self-reported model name.
| League | Measured hashrate | Typical hardware |
|---|---|---|
| Pico | under 0.5 TH/s | early Bitaxe, NerdMiner |
| Nano | 0.5 to 2 TH/s | Bitaxe Gamma / Supra, single small ASIC |
| Workshop | 2 to 10 TH/s | a few units, NerdQAxe stacks |
| Rack | 10 to 200 TH/s | home rack, one modern ASIC |
| Farm | 200 TH/s and up | multi-ASIC operations |
Each rig gets both an overall rank and a rank inside its league. The league rank is the one that matters emotionally: being #3 in Nano is a real, winnable goal, while being #300 overall is not.
How do The Hunt and Block Race work?
The Hunt is the live heart of the Arena: a feed of near-misses streaming in as they happen, each showing how close a rig got to a block and how rare that hash was. Above it, the Block Race shows how far the whole pool has progressed toward the next block on each of the five chains, as a percentage of the expected work — the coin closest to a block leads the race.
Two more pieces complete the picture. Pool heat tells you if the pool is running hot right now, and “Closest we’ve ever come” records the single best near-miss per chain — the proudest almost-win the pool has ever produced without actually solving a block.
What is The Climb on a Miner Card?
The Climb is a logarithmic ladder on your rig’s card that shows how far your best share travelled from difficulty 1 up to a full block. Because each rung is 10x harder than the last, the ladder turns an abstract number like “1-in-4.5-billion” into a visible position on a mountain, with your marker and the next rung you are chasing.
This matters because raw best-share numbers are hard to feel. Seeing that you are, say, 83% of the way up the mountain — with the next rung a concrete 2.2x away — gives you a real target instead of a distant dream. When a rig’s best share reaches the network target, it hits the summit: it found a block.
How do I claim my Miner Card?
There is no login and no account. Your card is identified by your wallet address, the same way the pool dashboard works. Open the Your Card tab, paste your address, and the Arena loads your Stable — the container for all your rigs — in three steps.
What do the Stable and rig cards show?
A Stable is everything mined under one wallet address; a rig is one worker inside it. Because one address can run many rigs, the Arena separates the two: the Stable gives you totals — combined hashrate, best-ever, expected block time — while each rig has its own card with individual luck, streak, badges and health.
The rig card also includes an Operational panel for serious miners: days seen, disconnects, hashrate stability grade, and vardiff — the practical health numbers other pools charge for or hide. A “verify” line gives you the exact public endpoint to check any figure yourself.
What are badges, streaks and the round meter?
Badges are permanent achievements your rig earns automatically — First share, 1% of a block, 10% of a block, Block finder, 30-day streak, Punched above weight, and more. They reward both milestones and consistency, and they live on your rig card as a record of what it has done.
Your streak counts consecutive days your rig was seen mining, and the round meter shows how much of an expected block’s worth of work you have accumulated in the current round. Together they answer “am I making progress?” even on days when no block is found anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions below are also available as structured data for search engines and AI assistants.
Do I need an account to use SoloFury Arena? No. The Arena has no accounts and no login. Your Miner Card is identified by your wallet address, the same as the pool dashboard. Paste your address in the Your Card tab to see your rigs, and pin your main rig to have it remembered in your browser.
How is mining luck calculated? Luck is your best-ever share difficulty divided by your total accumulated work. A value above 1x means your best share was rarer than your work would typically produce. It is measured entirely by the pool, so it cannot be faked or self-reported.
How can a small Bitaxe rank above a large farm? Because the leaderboard ranks luck, not raw hashrate. A farm does far more work, so it needs a proportionally larger best share to match a small rig’s luck score. When a Bitaxe lands an unusually rare share for its size, it legitimately outranks bigger rigs on fairness.
What are the hardware leagues based on? Leagues are based on your measured 7-day hashrate, not a self-reported model. Pico is under 0.5 TH/s, Nano is 0.5 to 2 TH/s, Workshop is 2 to 10 TH/s, Rack is 10 to 200 TH/s, and Farm is 200 TH/s and above.
What is a near-miss in The Hunt feed? A near-miss is a high-difficulty share that got close to solving a block but did not. Block explorers only show completed blocks, so near-misses are invisible everywhere else. The Arena streams them live because the pool is the only place that can see them.
What does The Climb show on my Miner Card? The Climb is a logarithmic ladder from difficulty 1 to a full block, where each rung is 10 times harder. It plots your best share as a position on that mountain and shows the next rung to aim for, turning a huge abstract number into a visible, reachable goal.
Which coins does the Arena cover? All five SHA-256 chains SoloFury supports: BTC, BCH, BC2, BCH2 and XEC. You can switch coins with the tabs at the top, and each coin has its own leaderboard, Block Race progress and closest-ever record.
Can I verify the numbers on my card myself? Yes. Every figure is computed from data the pool measures directly, and each rig card includes a public endpoint you can query to check its numbers. There are no hidden or estimated values presented as measured ones.
The Arena rewards curiosity, so the best next step is to open your own card and find your luckiest rig. If you have not connected yet, the Setup Wizard gets you mining on SoloFury in minutes, and the Bitaxe solo mining guide covers the most popular Arena hardware in depth.
