CKPOOL developer and administrator Con Kolivas has announced the launch of a new solo BTC pool in Brisbane, Australia at X. The goal of this Bitcoin mining pool is to serve Oceania and Asia Pacific miners.
The new AU solo pool is separated from the main CK pool and EU solo BTC mining pool due to latency and performance reasons. Follow x post,Au BTC pool works with degraded.
Con Kolivas said that blocks generated from the Au BTC mining pool are propagated between other sibling pools. Additionally, the Au BTC blocks carry the same signature from the main CK pool, but have the prefix “Ckpoolau”.
The developers have revealed that miners have the option to utilize other sibling pools for backup. The main solo corner pool covers most of the world, but has relatively low latency.
The AU pool is probably dominated by Bitaxe
Con Kolivas predicted that it would consist primarily of Bitaxe Mining Rigs in the Au pool. He also predicted that the AU pool would have the lowest hashrate compared to other solo CK pools. This is because Australia has high electricity costs.
Currently average Fee Residential electricity in Australia is 33 cents (kWh) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and costs commercial electricity between 25 and 45 cents per kWh. In the US, the average home electricity bill is 12.89 cents (19.6 cents) per kWh, compared to 33 cents per kWh. Australia. This is 60% of what Australians pay for kilowatt-hour electricity.
average Bitexe The rig hash rate ranges from 0.4 to 1.2 terra hash (TH/S). This means that Australia’s electricity costs to run Australia’s Solo Miner will range from 16 cents per day at an average residential rate of 33 cents, and from 12 cents per day to 22 cents per day at a commercial rate of 25-45 cents per kWh.
Although daily costs appear to be kept to a minimum, the chances of solving the Bitcoin block and earning a mining fee of 3.175 BTC will take 14, 075 years based on calculations from. Solo Chance.
Bitexe Rigs tend to sell for around $150 each, and committed enthusiasts usually run clusters of 2-4 BTC rigs.

200 ph/s 3.175 BTC Solo Bitcoin Minor Rack
Yesterday, Con Kolivas congratulated the solo miners on winning 3.175 BTC after resolving block number 904,989. minor I solved the 302nd solo block with a huge hashrate (pH/s) of 200 petahush per second. Con Kolivas writes, “miners of this size will solve blocks once every 35 days on average at current mining difficulty.”
He further revealed that miners of this size probably borrowed hashrates. This is because a high hashrate of 200 pH/s is much higher than the hashrate of available mining hardware. The developer said the miner has begun mining Bitcoin January 9th, 2025. It only lasts about seven months.
In 2017, Con Kolivas opened a shared bitcoin mining pool Zero fee. The pool provided instant coinbase payments to miners. The developer created the pool as a community service. But he closed it in 2020. Because it couldn’t attract enough hashrate to keep it running.
