What is pool-based solo mining in Kaspa?

Pool-based solo mining lets you mine alone — competing for full block rewards at full difficulty — while the pool handles publishing your blocks and distributing the reward minus a small fee. In true solo mining you connect directly to the network and publish blocks yourself, keeping 100% of each reward. Pool-based solo mining keeps the same structure — you are the only miner looking for each block and you receive nearly all of the reward — but the pool acts as an intermediary that broadcasts your found blocks and then credits your account after taking a pool fee. For a beginner, the practical difference is convenience versus full self-custody of rewards: pool-based solo mining removes the need to run your own node, but you give up a small cut to the pool.
