Did you take a electricity draw measurement yet on the new ASICBoost s9 firmware? 

Ramping up just fine with new address on the new firmware.

Well I backed up and started new firmware. Figured I'd try and swap addresses. Just on my s9 13.5 auto not my S9i (no firmware for that one yet).

Thanks -ck.


Anyone with s9's update to the new firmware? Other pools are having compatibility issues it seems.

Old address will wind down faster if the pool is bigger.

Is it better to change payout address now or when pool get large again?

Block%?

So easy to get impatient. Let's find our zen, our drink and hit a block?% I'm thinking anytime AM PST is good.

It is not useless to mine it on solo.ckpool.org  if he needs heat in his space and is mining vs a space heater.

While he won't ever make money here unless he hits a block  and gets a small bonus well under 100 usd.

If he needs heat and points it to solo.ckpool.org and hits a block he gets 12.5 coins.

IN either case   the odds against him  are more then 100,000,000 to one   but  if he was going to use a space heater   he would hove 0 chance.

So would you like a 100,000,000 to one chance at a block  or a zero chance.

The problem with pointing here is he gets 20-100 usd for hitting the 100,000,000 to one chance.

So he should point it to the solo pool

What I think they are tying to say is that you wont get paid anything or learn much. You do not have enough power to even learn from it. Sorry but them the facts.

so you really want to learn if you do
don't point it to this pool

point it to this pool

http://solo.ckpool.org/

this is a free lesson.

As the the teacher of it  I will ask you to do it and post results in this thread

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yh-solockpoolorg-2-fee-solo-mining-usade-255-blocks-solved-763510

feel free to pm me  with questions as to why you want to point that  gpu to this pool  http://solo.ckpool.org/

and not this pool http://ckpool.org/

As it is absolutely true that  for some people  using a gpu to mine at solo.ckpool  makes sense   while it is next to impossible to argue that mining  a gpu at http://ckpool.org/ makes any sense at all

So I will be willing to teach you this lesson if you are willing to point the gpu at http://solo.ckpool.org/

and post about it here:

No. You will never get any payout whatsoever. Zilch. Nil. Nothing. Nada. You might earn 1 cent in a year. To get into the payout queue might take you 50 years at that rate. Just don't do it at all. Mining bitcoin with a GPU - any GPU, is completely futile. There's a reason I completely stopped supporting GPU mining and consciously removed it from cgminer, so please don't even go looking for support for it. I actively discourage people from doing it because it shares virtually NOTHING with how bitcoin is currently mined and is a futile - and potentially very expensive - exercise.

While data confidentiality may not be a primary concern here (given the public nature of the information that's available), there remain issues concerning server authentication and data integrity.

Regarding server authentication, without HTTPS, there can be no confidence that users visiting the ckpool.org website would be talking to the true ckpool.org web server. This opens the door for malicious third parties to redirect users to malicious web servers of their choice, which in turn may leave users open to malicious drive-by downloads, cryptojacking, zero-day browser exploits, etc.

Regarding data integrity, the absence of HTTPS opens the door for malicious third parties to conduct certain man-in-the-middle attacks, e.g., injecting advertisements, unsolicited content, or malicious code into the ckpool.org web server's responses to users.


Given that Let's Encrypt provides free TLS wildcard certificates (which would cover ckpool.org and all of its subdomains with one certificate), I see no reason to not deploy HTTPS-by-default sitewide, not just on ckpool.org but also on solo.ckpool.org. Having some privacy and security is far better than having none at all.

On that note, I'm also of the opinion that the stratum protocol should be extended to include support for TLS 1.3 — not so much for data confidentiality, but more for server authentication and data integrity, to ensure that miners would be talking to the true stratum servers and that their communications with the servers would not be tampered with.

Back to back blocks with a snap of my fingers!

I can taste a block coming, or is it just lunch time? burger? Block% Beer.

Thanks for the heads up. In principle it sounds like a good idea but there isn't a single bit of data that needs to be secure coming from the website. There are no logins, all data is readily available to anyone, and there are no accounts and all statistics are relatively anonymised being tied only with a bitcoin address. Intercepting to read the data which is readily available anyway, and spoofing that data to change something won't achieve anything at all that I can think of?

Now that the ckpool.org website has been upgraded to a much better user experience, may I suggest deploying HTTPS-by-default sitewide (including the JSON parts of the website)?

Let's Encrypt offers free TLS certificates, including free wildcard certificates that would cover all ckpool.org subdomains, including solo.ckpool.org.

Well a little ten year bourbon to bring some hash and a block our way.
