Now that you’re connected, it’s time to decide how you want to mine: Solo Mining or Pool Mining
Solo Mining (Mine independently)
Mine on your own, without joining a “pool”.
If you find a block, you receive the entire Bitcoin block reward!
However, the chances of finding a block are extremely low unless you’re very lucky.

Pool Mining (Mine as part of a group)

This is ideal for home miners, as you’ll get steady rewards without needing to find a full block.
