Solo is silly suicide....
So this pool has only found ONE block EVER...and it took 161% of expected shares to find..Right?
So how does that affect the PPLNS 5N situation?
And now almost two months later we are still only at..... "diff": "85.0" so... 85% of expected right?
Ah wait just hit 86%

My god how is it that this pool only has 1.8Ph...
What a shame...
People are so short sighted...
Shame people just don't seem to understand the name of this game is PROPORTIONALITY...and this pool by far offers the highest rewards/hash rate.
All the fancy stats and pool sites are completely unneeded...The core stats are here and refresh every minute.
It also has great connectivity. and ZERO FEE for christs sake...
Variance on small pools can be a bitch ...but bad luck is bad luck period...And even big pools get hit bad..like Kano's recent 875% block.
The pathetically small payouts on big pools are deceptive and cumulatively more expensive..less cost efficient...
The only real problem is the constantly changing Diff..they keep moving the goal posts..this sure as shit hurts small pools big time...
CK is such a legend...They just don't get any better than this pool...
Where the hell is everyone?
WAKE UP PEOPLE! Get onboard this gravy train.
What a shame...

As much as I would like to see the next block found, I'm totally ok with it waiting until my new miner is here and I can get into the 'payouts' column. Working my way up oh so slowly.

Wow looks like Aug 23rd was last time block was found
When the hashrate is so low, they are long to come by; however, the reward for sticking around is a handsome one Wow looks like Aug 23rd was last time block was found
Yes...http://ckpool.org/blocks/481797.confirmed

Wow looks like Aug 23rd was last time block was found
as for expected frequency to find blocks...
well the pool is showing 2Ph so roughly 1 block/ 29.75 days

Thanks..
FYI....switch over was easy....connected no problem...miners are doing a little better actually.... seems connectivity is better and helping for slight boost in efficiency... less stales less rejected
Love the simple stats..very responsive and accurate..... worker info available almost immediately..
I could literally watch the hashing and workers increase.
Now comes the hard part..
Patience!

So I just added 50th to this pool...
actually make that 100th
You're most welcome. I wish us all good luck! actually make that 100th

I'm still bush league but I have an S7 coming. It'll be in the pool as soon as I can get it set up.
Con, you used to use github, what made you switch to bitbucket for ckpool?
"Used to" must have been a long time ago, ckpool has been on bitbucket for over 3 1/2 years.Con, you used to use github, what made you switch to bitbucket for ckpool?

How can I easily calculate how far we are to our expected % progress in finding a block? Is it based on one of the stats on CKpool.org/pool?
It's the DIFF value. That is an estimate to the average amount of hashing it takes to find a block at current difficulty. I think we are 72+ right now... but it is still all dependant on luck. The pool could find one today, or at 120 DIFF...

There is no such thing as "progress" in mining, it's just accumulated credit so if you stop working for a while, you're just not adding credit to your existing credit while your miner is off. You can pause, stop restart at any time but obviously you only accumulate credit while your miner is working.

Very salient point. I appreciate precision in language, so I'll reorient my perspective on that. Thanks
Welcome aboard to the new miners. All your hashes are welcome and help 
Thanks. I'll probably ask a bunch of dumb questions. I'm an infrastructure guy so though more technology savvy than your average soccer mom, I'm out of my depth here.
Dumb question #1-- If I stop my miner to make tweaks (I haven't seen anything anywhere that would indicate I could tweak anything in real time?) do I just start it back with the exact same command? E.g., ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u blahblahblahblahblahblah.0 -p x --suggest-diff 32 and it will pick up where I left off (minus some herp degradation due to missed hashes)? It's not going to reset me effectively to zero, correct? Same basic question if I were to add more ASICs? I stop it, add a couple ASICs, and re-start there isn't anything special that needs to be done is there?
Second dumb question-- If I bring another miner online is it just append .1 instead of .0 to my wallet address?

Yes, yes, no, and yes. Mine on!
