First I would say this coin is awesome
I have pool mined drk for a while and for the past 24h I have tried solo mining on my 3 rigs that is connect to the computer I run the drk client on. They connect as they should and hashes.
I'm using sgminer through cgwatcher and so far I have had 5 "found blocks" but received no credit what so ever. I have checked all log files and it looks just like other people is saying on the forums that it should look like. Except the debug.log for the darkcoin client, in that one is nothing neither in the transaction list.
Anyone that can shed some light over this since it feels like im wasting my hash power here. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
You would only expect to find a block every 48 hours at current difficulty (even with 3 rigs). What exactly are you referring to when you say you "found" 5 blocks according to cgwatcher? You are only going to find a block when the "best share" as reported by cgminer is above the difficulty at the moment that share was found. I am not really familiar with cgwatcher but my guess is it is not actually reporting the number of found blocks because 5 blocks would be extraordinarily good luck in 24 hours.
I agree, I was expecting something like one block per 1.5-2 days. But still I need to figure out why one of my rigs say 4 found blocks and one other rig say 1 found block falsely.
Here is part from the sgminer log:
"[22:41:39] Network diff set to 47 7/m
[22:41:39] Stratum from Pool 2 detected new block
[22:41:44] Network diff set to 48 7/m
[22:41:44] Stratum from Pool 2 detected new block
[22:41:59] Found block for Pool 0! /m <------------------
[22:42:04] Network diff set to 52 2/m
[22:42:04] Stratum from Pool 2 detected new block
[22:42:14] Network diff set to 52 2/m
[22:42:14] Stratum from Pool 2 detected new block
[22:42:14] Network diff set to 1.25K
[22:42:14] New block detected on network before pool notification"
So is it normal to get Found Blocks reported falsely by sgminer? Is there a way to prevent it?
I assume if I actually found a real block my wallet would have been credited within a few minutes?
