he problem with solo mining and pool mining is that pool mining requests your username via stratum and then compensate you on the BTC address which is associated with username . which means if you could pass in your wallet address , you're all done!!

Not sure I understand what you are trying to say here.

the main reason for this mini pool is that my friends and i can mine on our own, our hashing power combined is well over 2.5 Ph/s

While 2.5PH is more than good enough hashrate for an individual or a few people, it's just a drop in the ocean as far as mining is concerned, your chances to hit a block are

This is more like gambling, to be honest.

is there any way i can pass in my --BTC-address from my s19 to bfgminer as a stratum-port ?

No! ... Not before someone "hacks" those S19s.

Thanks for your comments guys!
i have multiple wallets so no problem with sharing my node across plant.

my quote of the 6 years old post , was just to show you how simple it the fix - the problem with solo mining and pool mining is that pool mining requests your username via stratum and then compensate you on the BTC address which is associated with username . which means if you could pass in your wallet address , you're all done!!

I know mining is very difficult these days, although everyone has the same chances of solving a block << the main reason for this mini pool is that my friends and i can mine on our own, our hashing power combined is well over 2.5 Ph/s

The post you quoted is 6 years old, nobody in their right mind would solo mine using their own node for the sole purpose of mining.

Unless you want to help "decentralize" bitcoin mining (although not sure your S19 mining solo to your own node changes the mining centralization by any measure), or you are doing this for research purposes, just use a solo pool, you pay a tiny fee of 1% and everything is set up for you, it will probably cost you a lot more to own a pool that is as reliable and connected as any of the solo mining pools.

Also, the post talks about S3 and the rest of the old mining gears which had SSH enabled, starting from S15 (or maybe S11) onwards SSH was disabled by Bitmain on most firmware versions, up to the 17 series you could SDcard your way in and enable SSH, but with the S19, as far as I know, nobody has given out the secret, Someone from Vnish team said they already cracked the S19, but nothing has been posted publicly, so no SSH for your S19 yet.

Linux since 1997 RedHat 4

The main issue with doing that is the much higher risk of having your block orphaned i.e. getting no BTC.
You need to setup a good worldwide bitcoin node distribution for any blocks you might find.

Ahoy :]

i was just wondering if anyone ever have gotten into the S19 models via SSH , based on a previous models it will be possible to solo mine by adding --btc-address to /etc/init.d

Not sure which Ant you've got, but on the S3, edit the file /etc/init.d/cgminer and add this to the PARAMS line (line 70):

Code:

--btc-address YOURADDRESS

and restart the mining process.

Another option is to setup your own pool on a server in your network... you can use ck.'s ckpool if you're on Linux... or you could configure an NOMP/MPOS/CoiniumServ/whatever pool and mine to it just like you would any other.

Or, you could save yourself the hassle and just point your miners to solo.ckpool.org

Also read few people asking about the same thing Huh

can someone give us a hand
