Hey everyone,
I'm checking out this documentation.
https://github.com/Huber773/bitcoin
So, I compiled Bitcoin Core and I'm connected to the network now. But what I can't figure out is how to start mining with it.
I can't seem to find any RPC mining software for my ASIC. Is there a way to mine Bitcoin directly without joining a pool?
If that's not possible, there should be some pools available, since any pool software should work, right?

Is this yours? Github account and repo were created yesterday, and I'm not sure the purpose of it.
Yes, solo-mine. It's easier by installing a pool software though, and you'll be the only one mining in that pool. Install CKpool, configure it to listen to your full node, and point your ASIC to your pool server.
I found this documentation yesterday as an archive for download in a Discord channel. Then I uploaded it to Github, because I already asked somewhere else, but didn't get an answer there and actually wanted to save myself the work of creating a pool.
I don't quite understand it either, but what I see is that the network and the chain are moving in parallel on the mainnet.

What you're asking for is basically solo mining. There's a couple of open source pool servers out there already e.g public-pool (GitHub) and CKPool (BitBucket). You can simply compile them and run it. They talk to the Bitcoin Daemon over RPC and subscribe to ZMQ for block notifications.
Yes thanks, I made a pool myself with Miningcore, the others I found all run on the old chain.
@OP: You DO know that there are already numerous topics about this already right? A recent one is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5527954.0 Try reading them and odds are you find answers to all of your questions are already here. There is zero need to open yet another topic on it just so folks have to regurgitate the same info yet again...
After looking the instruction and list of changes, the repository actually meant for altcoin which use forked Bitcoin Core. But the repository doesn't mention it means you run full node for altcoin, which makes it looks shady.
