Every bit's appreciated, but we really need more like 2EH.

So 2 blocks in one week with (less than) 2PH and then even less than 1PH... or am I wrong? At least that's what https://miningpoolstats.stream/bitcoin reported anyway...

BTW my recent observations on multiple pools reveal a completely different/opposite picture than the popular opinion goes. Looks like smaller pools with fewer competing miners improve the overall pool efficiency, I guess it could be due to small pools by design/usage "relieve" the inevitable technical bottlenecks any large pool has. Just an intuitive guess of mine.

certainly looks to be a reporting error on someones part.

blockchain.info has that block at unknown not ckpool

If you look at the "pool" that blockchain.com says found it, it is 32LA7cmsj35LH7cK1MjvwyoLEmYpuWAD9k which is also the top (#1) payout on ckpool. Not 100% on what it reports or who's account that is but it is a ckpool user at the very least.

I get this info

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/00000000000000000007c7186fd29956197dc96222b8db62334d73054efc33fc

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3P8sR3K8wAk3bom7tqpr5VrzCz9TVYNTQd

that address you mention is here

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/32LA7cmsj35LH7cK1MjvwyoLEmYpuWAD9k

does not show a block for 616785

To be the man, you gotta beat the man...... WOOOOO

Your source does show that the last block found by CKPool (not solo) was 6 hours ago - if I am reading it correct. However the btc.com block page shows the last block just shy of a year ago.

Luck and having some mfg's point their testing/burn-in miners here would help a lot also.

But i think things might change later.

Counting on it!

ck, really appreciate your service to the community!

It doesn't help when the largest manufacturer operates their own pool AND pre-configures their miners to use it... But i think things might change later.

That's my question. I read through every post of this thread and the glory days of finding 2 blocks in a day. Why would so many people leave this pool for another when they are losing money with them?

Most people are obsessed with regular payments, and truth be told if a pool goes a long time without finding a block and the difficulty keeps rising, then you are losing money on that pool, even if it has no fee. Pools need to be above a minimum size to be feasible, and this pool has fallen below that size. Once it's below a certain size, more and more people leave it. Conversely when a pool is above a certain size, more and more people join it. It's a vicious cycle that once you're beyond the event horizon there's nothing you can do. Advertising and getting in early and fancy features are the only thing that attract miners when establishing a base, and this pool has none of those. It missed its chance of becoming big a long time ago, and it's not likely to ever recover now. I'm keeping it running as a service to the community now, but I don't have much hope for its future.

I think about 100 PH would do the magic. One wonders how so many EHs remain in some other pools despite losing so much in pool fees. Perhaps things will improve once large mining becomes unprofitable (especially in China).

Or, maybe you just need to pay someone to do a Chinese and Russian translation of the site?

The last block found was 2/28/2019 where I live Grin

Hi
Why not show time for last block find ?

You can use this website to track last found block https://btc.com/stats/pool/CKPool

it works for all mining pools and not just Ckpool, it will give you a full report of all blocks found in the past.
