Kano

Ask kano pool if his works like that.
...
My pool requires an account: which is an email address and a payout address.
gmail makes it simple to create email addresses ...
You can increase the security of your account with 2FA also.

My pool also shows you API and web based numerical and graphical statistics, so it's easy to see how you are performing,
not just some random inaccurate 'right now' value, that anyone on the internet can also see on that 'anonymous' pool.

(and on my pool you can give others secure web based access to your account using your API key, but only access to the statistics, not the account information)

The fact that your miner is mining to the pool with a payout address sent over the internet,
and anyone can look at your account on that 'anonymous' pool,
and if you find a block on that pool, it is public information of which bitcoin address found it,
makes the belief that it is 'anonymous' mining sketchy at best.

I will third this.

Ck
Kano
Viabtc

Are the way to go

I know ck allows anonymous

Just gen a new btc addy in your wallet

Ask kano pool if his works like that.

Viabtc needs more info and is not anonymous

You are far better off solo mining with a pool that offers it such as Kano.is, solo.ck.org, etc.
You cannot mine directly to Core for the past several years now, you have setup a Stratum server to go between Core and the miner.

It's probably easier to point to a solo pool to make sure you don't lose the block you could find. Kano has the lowest fee, CKPool Solo has a long history, and there are others like viaBTC.

However, if you're deadset to solo mine to your own node from your s19, you need:

  • Setup RPC connection (username and password) on your bitcoind
  • Use cgminer or bfgminer stratum proxy to do you local mining, OR
  • Setup an open source mining pool

I have an Antminer S19 and want to Solo mine 1 day a week just for fun. I downloaded and synced the bitcoin core on my laptop but how do I solo mine with my S19? I cannot seem to find a good step-by-step guide.
