Read the announcement and the answer is not in there...
for solo mining, if the share that is submitted that finds the block happens while the dev fee is mining, does the dev get the whole block or a percentage of the block?
Thanks!
Why would there be a "share" submitted when solo mining? You're not on a pool ... right? If the DevFee cycle hits the block solution, then that wallet address gets the block reward ... all of it. Pools allow for rewards to be distributed for percentages of work ... not solo.
I did find the answer to my question after searching this thread. (all 1,500 posts

My guess though is you've never solo mined. They've had can solo mining on pools for YEARS now.
http://altpool.pro/In all mining the miner submits shares. The share is then accepted or denied by the pool. In the case of solo mining, the accepted submitted share has a chance to solve the block. In solo pool mining, the share that solves the block gets the reward. In non-solo pool mining the shares are calculated as a percentage of the block. What's happening when the DEV part is mining shares are being submitted, but only under the devs mining address. If they solve the block during that time they get the whole block, I thought there might have been a way to split that percentage-wise in the software, but no, the dev gets the whole block.
Also, as it goes to Claymore's wallet I wouldn't know how many blocks were actually solved by my rigs because the pool only shows my receiving mining address, not his.
So no more solo mining with Claymore for me, at least on certain coins. For regular pool mining, sure.
Solo mining through a pool is the same result as solo mining directly to the network, but with an added fee. If you solo mine through a pool, you are a pool of 1. Shares have no meaning in a pool of 1 because they are all your shares. You either find a block or you don't. It's perhaps useful to allow you to see that you are, in fact, making progress on doing the work but nothing else. In that case, I guess you're paying the pool fee of 1% or so for ... something. If you're solo and you go through a pool, you're letting them use their wallet in the block's coinbase and at that point, they can deduct their fee and then give you the rest I suppose. Maybe the fee is worth it to show your progress? I don't know. If you were mining directly on the network, your address would go into the coinbase of the found block and you wouldn't submit "shares" to the network ... only block solutions.
Only in pool mining does a miner submit shares.
When the DevFee mines, it may mine on a completely different pool for example. It is disconnected from the work you're doing on your wallet address. The DevFee probably hits a shared pool while you are off on a dedicated channel or solo.
any solution to this?
