What Is a Mining Pool? SASEUL Solo vs Pool Mining on One GPU

· Updated · Mining basics

What is a mining pool?

Alone, a whole block about once every 6 days. In a pool, a little, far more often than alone

Mining alone

You get coins only on days you find the answer

Mining in a pool

The group splits its coins by how much each added

Day 1Day 10
A picture to show the difference, not a real record. Working it out with one graphics card (about 860 MH/s) and the calculating speed of all of SASEUL on September 27, 2026 (about 6.88 TH/s), mining alone gets you coins about once every 6 days on average. With bad luck you could get nothing for weeks. A small pool has days with nothing, too.

A mining pool (a group that mines together and splits the coins) is where people put their calculating power together and mine as a team. When coins come in, they're split by how much work each person did.

Mining is like a lottery. Find the answer that lets you attach a new block (one page of the record book) and you get coins, but who finds it is luck. Scratch cards alone and you may wait a long time for a win.

Scratch together and split the winnings, and you get a little, but often. That "place where people scratch together" is a pool.

How long does it take to mine alone on one card?

You work it out by comparing the card's hashrate (calculating speed) with the total for everyone mining SASEUL. Here it is with the numbers from September 27, 2026.

What Number Where from
Calculating speed of the one graphics card in the record About 860 MH/s (more than 800 million a second) Mining program screen (September 15)
Everyone mining SASEUL, added up About 6.88 TH/s Pool site front page. Working it out from the difficulty on the official block explorer's statistics screen gives the same value (September 27)
New blocks added by mining About one a minute, about 1,440 a day Worked out from two readings of the block number (September 23 → September 27, see Sources below)

The explorer screen shows it as 6.26 TH/s. That's the same value, just written in units of 1,024 multiplied four times (about 1.1 trillion) instead of 1 trillion.

This one card is about 0.012% of all of SASEUL (0.86 ÷ 6,880). Cut all of SASEUL into 10,000 slices and it's a little more than one slice.

Multiply 1,440 a day by 0.012% and you get about 0.18 blocks a day, or one block every 5.6 days on average.

So the average is about 6 days. It doesn't come like clockwork every 6 days. With good luck you find one in two days.

With bad luck you could find nothing for weeks. And the electricity bill keeps running the whole time. Whether the mining program can mine alone without a pool couldn't be confirmed.

How do you get paid in a pool?

A pool gathers its members' calculating speed to find blocks. When it finds one, it hands out coins by how much calculating each member added.

According to saseulmine.com's guide, coins are handed out once a day. A share smaller than the set minimum carries over to the next time.

The pool keeps count of who calculated how much

Once a day. Below the minimum, it waits for next time

Drawn from the guide on saseulmine.com's front page (checked September 27, 2026). The fee is listed as 80% to miners, 10% to the referrer and 10% to the pool. Other pools may take a different cut or pay out at different times.
Pool screen of SASEUL Miner (mining program). Calculating speed gathered in the pool 15.20 GH/s, 5 people mining, 0.2% of all of SASEUL
The mining program's pool screen (Pool tab, September 15). That day the pool had 15.20 GH/s of calculating speed and 5 people mining. That's 0.2% of all of SASEUL, or 2 out of 1,000.

But the size of the pool matters too. The numbers on the same pool site's front page changed this much from day to day, and even from hour to hour on the same day.

When Calculating speed gathered in the pool Share of all of SASEUL (shown on the pool site) Average time to find one block
September 23, 12:33 52.08 GH/s 0.8% (8 out of 1,000) About 2 hours
September 23, 18:33 12.80 GH/s 0.2% (2 out of 1,000) About 9 hours
September 27, 9:45 41.54 GH/s 0.6% (6 out of 1,000) About 3 hours

The front page number is a moment-by-moment value, so it jumps around a lot. The 48-hour graph on the same front page puts the pool's average at about 20 GH/s from 1 p.m. on September 25 to noon on September 27.

At 9:45 on September 27, 6 machines were running in this pool. On the September 15 mining program screen, it was 5 people.

When a pool is small, the gap between blocks gets longer. Then the days coins are handed out get uneven too. A 28-day record on one graphics card had three days with nothing, even among the 13 days with the card fixed at 50% (one-month record).

How many coins one block pays and how that shrinks over time is in SASEUL mining rewards.

What should you look at when choosing a pool?

In a notice on September 15, 2026, the SASEUL team named three pools: saseulpool.com, saseulmine.com and rabbitminer.cc.

None of the three has a formal tie with the SASEUL team. The notice also says it doesn't vouch for how reliable they are (notice).

What each of the three pools' guides says is in the mining guide. The same notice also mentions another way to take part instead of a pool: running your own computer that holds a copy of SASEUL's record book.

What if I have several computers?

According to the pool's guide, you enter the same wallet address on every computer. The calculating from all of them adds up in one address, and you're paid on that.

For setup, see how to set it up. What kind of coin SASEUL is, is covered in SASEUL basic facts.
