I am hashing at bitsolo right now. The main reason I am using them instead of just straight solo mining is because I can't get my S1's to solo mine for shit.
I have BE Cubes that work fine but the S1's have proven to be very difficult.
I had a question when I first connected to the pool and the operator sent me a reply via email. I cannot vouch for him but obviously I am believing that if I find a block the coins will go to my wallet.
If anyone has any other info regarding the pool or operator I would be glad to hear from you.

how would you know if the bit coin server node was feeding the ants work fast enough ? All I get from cgminer is new block notifications from the network . There is ZERO way to tell if work is getting done or is stalled. even if I run the server in diagnostics mode, the output never really shows anything except new blocks being created on the network and when blocks are solved in the network …
I read you can't solo mine with the antminer s1 which is why I looked into this solo pool stuff
But that being said, why can't you solo mine with an Antminer?Just put your Bitcoin-QT in server mode and point CGMiner at your localhost address TCP Port 8332. There are instructions in the CGMiner readme.
Does the Antminer run from a PC or does it have CGMiner built in?
Oh, if it's an older version that doesn't support GBT for Solo Mining that may be why it was said it can't be done. But give it a whirl and see.

I think solo pools are a great tool.
1. They use the Stratum Protocol.
2. They propagate blocks to the network faster than ones Bitcoin client would.
3. They deal with virus signatures in the block chain so that you don't need to futz with your AV settings and risk opening your system to vulnerabilities.
4. You don't need to download the block chain on your own system. Which is real important if your using one of those Pi thingies.
But that being said, why can't you solo mine with an Antminer?
Yeah? I thought you could set up a stratum proxy and point it at bitcoin-qt?
Nope. Bitcoin-Qt uses Getwork or GBT protocols, not Stratum.

is it just me - or is this concept sort of dumb 
If you want to solo-mine = run a copy of bitcoind with SETGENERATE=true and have your hashrate mine away.
If you want to solo-mine = run a copy of bitcoind with SETGENERATE=true and have your hashrate mine away.
Newbies have no idea how to use setgenerate=true.
"SETGENERATE=true" is for CPU mining with the Bitcoin client. It no longer does anything as the client no longer CPU mines.
Also, they have to point their asics at the bitcoind. So they would have to use cgminer or bfgminer anyway.

Damned . I have to learn the hard session ;-)

if you want to solo-mine = screw you pool of any kind
If you want to solo-mine = run a copy of bitcoind with SETGENERATE=true and have your hashrate mine away. You keep the coins, YOU WIN!
Using ANYONE or ANY service =/= solo mining. You're begging to have your time wasted and your coins stolen, period.

Hi !
i really HOPE its not Scam
Guess why ?
look at this :

There is a known issue i cgminer / sgminer and other forks where it will report finding a block when actually block has not been found by you.
Search the forum and you'll see this happening with many people. It is a known issue, nothing to do with pool scam.
You can verify if you've found a block by checking if your 'Best Share' is equal or greater than current difficulty, which is not the case in your screenshot.
Correct. Update to the latest CGMiner. Also, it's blockchain.info, not bitcoinchain.info.
