What it means to solo mine Zcash
A Zcash SoloMining service coordinates the work of finding a block, but the reward is not shared. When your hardware finds the block, the Zcash network pays the reward (minus the 0.3% operator fee) straight to your wallet address. There is no intermediary wallet holding your ZEC, no payout threshold, and no withdrawal step. You mine, you win, you get paid by the network directly.
