Solo Mining vs Pools on VeloxDAG: Which Should You Choose?

Early network difficulty is low enough that solo miners with consumer CPUs can find blocks. VeloxDAG's `velox-miner` connects directly to your node — no middleman.

Solo mining pros: 100% block reward, full node sovereignty, supports decentralization Solo mining cons: irregular payouts, requires uptime

Pool mining pros: steady smaller payouts, good for low hash rate Pool mining cons: fees, trust in operator, centralization risk

At launch we recommend solo mining to strengthen the peer-to-peer mesh. Community pools will emerge organically — verify fee structure and payout transparency before joining.

Your `velx1` address in the miner config is where rewards land. Never share your private key with a pool — legitimate pools only need your public address.
