ONE CHAIN · ONE DIFFICULTY · REAL SOLO WINS

Every hash competes for the same next block.

5TRAT does not assign miners to easier or harder private lanes. Blue, Pink and Gold classify the quality of the winning proof after it is found. Total network work governs difficulty for everyone.

THE IMPORTANT BIT

Hashrate changes probability, not entitlement.

If one miner contributes 1 TH/s and another contributes 100 TH/s, the first has roughly one part of the combined 101. Mining is random, so short runs can look far luckier or unluckier than the long-run expectation.

A five-minute target controls how often the whole network expects a block. It does not promise every miner a block every five minutes. Difficulty adjusts to observed block production so a surge in total hash does not permanently turn the chain into a block hose.

01

Connect

Point a SHA256d miner at the Stratum endpoint shown by your chosen 5TRAT mining application.

02

Prove

Shares measure live work and surface strong near-misses. Only a network-valid proof creates a block.

03

Win

The accepted coinbase pays the configured mining address directly. There is no custodial pool balance.

04

Mature

Coinbase outputs become spendable after 100 confirmations, protecting the chain from short reorganisations.

Rental hash is possible, not magical.

Renting established hash to chase a young, non-guaranteed market is an economic decision, not a protocol exploit. VarDiff, compact extranonce allocation and responsive network difficulty make burst mining less convenient without blocking legitimate remote home miners.
