user72097: I know it's hard to mining bitcoin.
How about get bitcoin fee by mining bitcoin solo and without a pool?
I survey two ways, and want to ask which one is better?

Mining bitcoin solo without using a pool.
Set up my own private pool and disable payouts.

If any one is possible, how to mining on ubuntu?
Thank you~

user71255: Unless you plan to allow other miners to join your pool, mining solo and mining in your own pool would lead to equivalent results.
Using either method, you would be able to collect the transactions fees from each block you find.

user65587: The odds are extremely low that you would ever find a block. Maybe 7 years ago this was possible to do. But not today. You would need a farm of expensive ASIC mining equipment, lots of cheap electricity, and a way to vent the heat that comes from running the mining equipment. Take your money and buy some on an exchange.
