Topic: Solo-Bitcoin.com a community driven SOLO pool with 0% fee "Chip" based reward (Read 915 times)

So putting the truth out there is casting shade?? 

Look back at your comments about what I brought to the table?

Here's a recap in case you forgot:

Getting started BTC bonus, purchase of dedicated server, colocation of dedicated server, global network of nodes all connected, testing with my CPUs, GPUs, USB Miners (old and new) plus my S19Pros, logo and branding creation, the rented hashrate from Nicehash, the hours of going back and forth on what is working and what is not (like vardiff).

How many times did I ask you to share the code so we could go at this together???

Please share with everyone how much hashrate did you send to the pool during the alpha testing?? 0.... 0 is the answer...

Now please tell everyone how I said you can keep 100% the pool op fees off the first 10 blocks. I did say I would be rewarded through my mining efforts based on my contribution to the pools share.

Please tell everyone that I didn't in fact tell you that the VPS server buckled with 40PH/s on round 2 of testing.

Again this all somehow gets left out with your comments with what appears again to be "convenient amnesia"....

You in fact know everything above is accurate and true.

Whatever you say. You have proven you will say just about anything to cast shade over my work . I am done with you. Got to get back to work on the pool. Please do yourself a favor and spend your energy building something rather than trying to tear something down.

Yes that was the initial test which did go well.

Now tell the entire story about how later that day I sent the 2nd round of rented hash how the server glitched up and stopped hashing when 40PH was sent. I lost about 4-6 minutes of hashrate where my wife and I both visibly watched the server buckle and stop running.

Convenient amnesia huh??

Correction it was in fact 40PH when the server dropout occurred. Not 40TH.

And yes I demanded to be able to view and contribute to the code. How dare I???

Yes you were acting childish. Telling me that you trusted a VPS server more than a private dedicated server that you were allowed to change the root creds on....

Your response?? "When someone tells me to do something it makes me want to do the opposite more"....  Yes. That's childish and foolish from the business and development side.

I really love the fact that you didn't like my ideas so much that you used them on your new pool! 

I offered very little huh?? Did I not send you money to get started? Did I not buy a new dedicated server just for this project? Did I not getting all of the nodes hosted and running across the globe?  Oh and I guess the money that I spent on the stress testing on your VPS didn't help either right? You just happened to leave that out...  How convenient.

This is just a warning to others that you are not trustworthy based on our interactions and I wouldn't want to see anyone else waste their time, energy or money.

Not gonna bad mouth you. Things did not work out. Doesn’t mean I dislike you. I did not like your ideas. I choose not to work with you because .I refused to use your servers.  Childish? Looks who is ranting and name calling bad mouthing lol. My ideas are mine. I had them way before you.

You wanted to split 1% of pool fee but do very little other than send hashpower. So you get the block reward and half of the 1% ? My time is  worth more than half of the 1% you offered me. Geeee thanks. Hard pass. 40 T/h wow really here is a screenshot of it running at 236214 T/h and at the time the sever only was at 80% cpu usage lol. Sense then the server has been upgraded.

 You just lied about a fact you yourself knew to be true. Don’t be salty. Who took this screen shot old friend? Exactly . Bottom line is . You demanded a lot and offered very little and that’s why I choose not to work with you. Please feel free to create your own pool .  Glad you went and publicly started throwing shade. I was actually missing chatting with you but now I am free of that. Why not spend your energy building YOUR pool and stop causing drama…. cause you cannot or would have to pay someone to build it. Maybe next time offer  the developer  more than half of 1%  Good luck old sport.   

You used the term "Don't Trust...Verfiy!" in your first post. Well I find that ironic...

After attempting to work WITH you to further develop a working unique pool your true colors have shown.

Now you have taken the payout structure concept and even used my verbiage to start another pool based on our discussions.

The business / joint effort (and I assume any you venture into further) was doomed due to your paranoia about you not wanting to share the source code or move off of your precious VPS. Not even with someone that you were supposed to be in a joint effort with to develop a pool.

Then when your VPS server crapped out when stress testing you simply refused to move the code to a fully paid for dedicated server that I purchased and hosted just for the development and the eventual running of the new pool.

So you left me no choice but to sever the ties since you refused to share the code that we both were supposed to be working on and your idiotic refusal to move to a dedicated server that can handle the load more that 40TH/s

Now did I write 1 line of code on solo-bitcoin.com? NO. But I did provide technical insight on to what was wrong with todays pools that guided you to using Blinkhash V2 with CK's pool code only to have you go rogue and act like a child.

So, for anyone ever considering working or mining on any pool that KitKatZ develops I would ask to see the code.

I don't trust her intentions particularly with the aspects of not willing to share the payout code with someone who which she was involved in a joint effort with.

Essentially in her own misspelled words "Don't Trust...Verfiy!" And I for one DONT TRUST!

So then LOCK the thread...

Solo-Bitcoin.com is now being retired tell such a time more resources and time can be applied . My efforts have shifted to a more profitable pool structure for myself and miners. One day this project will be revived for solo miners. Tell then my efforts have shifted to ShhPool

A Bitcoin Mainnet Alpha version of the pool is up right now for anyone to join and test.
This is a working Alpha on Bitcoin MainNet. This is completely use for alpha testing . You could get lucky but please do not waste electricity you cannot afford to waste. It is configured to 99% payout with transaction fees to the miner. You do hit a block please consider donating some BTC to the effort and development of this pool I cannot stress the ALPHA’ness of the version. Enjoy testing and good luck.

Hello dear

DMed you

Wish you a nice day

As a full time university student. I work a lot and study a lot. The rest of my time is spent on Solo-Bitcoin.com project. I have very little social life other than finding other students at my university that want to help in the effort of this project.
 

Sorry for the delayed response. I have been working so hard. As a waitress .I am also a full time student. I do not make a lot of money. With the state of the world . People do not seem very generous in tips these days. I pretty much work to live and with 0 savings. My goal has not changed . Solo-Bitcoin.com will one day solve many solo blocks.If it takes a lifetime . My passion is equal to the task. Hoping it only takes a month or so. Going to take a second job as a bartender at a nightclub and hopefully with that extra funds. We can get Solo-Bitcoin.com back up within the month of November. The concept of chip tracking will redefine what it means to "Solo Pool Mine". right now . A lot of trust is required in solo pool mining. Solo-Bitcoin.com will remove that need. With open and clear hardware statistics giving EVERYONE on the solopool clear information of what your hardware is doing and making sure the EXACT chip that solves the block is rewarded is paramount.

right my goals are :
Earn $2,351.76 that gives us a capable server for 24 months
or
$3,743.52 for 48 months. This would give us more than enough time to solve a solo block and enrich the users of Solo-Bitcoin.com. Crossing fingers.

 If you give people the means to be  prosperous they will return that generocity the majority of the time. This might be  naive thinking but my heart tells me. We are here on  this earth to help one another to build a better world with selfless gestures.  One of my favorite quotes is “What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever.”  This is NOT our world . Only our time to shape it. How will we make a better one? How will we make a more  decentralized society? My personal mission to do my part in this effort is to help the smallest of miners the ability to solve bitcoin blocks. This in itself makes bitcoin more decentralized. This in itself give power back to the people as satoshi wanted it.  Not just Satoshi but it has to upset people to see the overtaking of solving bitcoin blocks is now leaning  towards centralized industry. Governments are now mining bitcoin. This road leads us right back to the system sotoshi wanted to ends.

How much cost your servers / year ?

Finally solved it!! Had the Pool running to perfection. Had a friend help with chip base isolation prototype coding to track the exact chip that signs the block. He actually did some pretty amazing things. Ran out of money to pay for servers. All my heart ,soul and passion is still in this project. I just do not have the funds to keep the servers online   . Funded the development of this project with my savings by myself . Now savings is empty.


I do not know what to do now. feeling lost and feeling like i let my dad down.

.
Thank you very much for your help. Still same error. What bitcoin core are you using? I am using 22. So i am checking off all boxes . Could you give me tutorial on how you run ckpool?
A quick step by step. Your checklist? Just to make sure i am not missing anything. Something is being missed. Even though i can run testnet fine. Something in my config is in error. Or my core version. Thank you in advance and i hate to eat up any of your time. If it is not to much trouble would love to see your ckpool install and run step by step.
Completely understand if your busy and do not have time for this. No worries at all. I am just thankful for the help you have offered thus far .

In sysctl.conf you should enter:

after that it should run.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply here. I am learning so much. Did as you mentioned "modify the /etc/sysctl.conf for max file and thread"


for good measure  git clone a fresh ckpool from source. compiled with NO modification straight from ckpool source . Fully synced bitcoin full node. Still got theses errors when  sudo ckpool -k -L

I am at a loss for words on why i cannot get this to work. So many seem to not have this issue with running ckpool clones. you are running ckpool on mainnet right? Cause i am able to run it on testnet fine . solve all kinds of testnet blocks. Only when launching to mainnet do i get these issues.




Bought a fully capable server 24 cores 96gb ram. I have followed all instructions. I tested on the testnet for a month. Soon as i went to mainnet all this mess. Sad but hoping to figure this out. If you have any more advice .Please and thank you to share.



I want nothing from my efforts except knowledge and to contribute to the bitcoin community. I must complete this . I must finish what i started. I must develop this concept .  Please help

must be the changes you made in ckpool, I compiled ckpool and made the needed mods for core r.23 gbt and it works fine.
If you are using debian or a debian based system, like ubuntu, you have to modify the /etc/sysctl.conf for max file and thread.
here are my blocks:

Hardware update:

I was able to purchase a server with 24 cores and 96 GB of RAM. Testing out the pool now. Still running into errors.No Worries we will get it solved.



At least now we know it is not the server size. Continuing to test. My passion is equal to the task. We will get this figured at and onto mining a solo block.

We have no issues on bitcoin testnet but when we switch to the bitcoin mainnet the ckpool source code acts up with these issues. At least we are making progress .

Thank you.  Glad to have people offering to help. Feels great knowing people are behind you pushing to excel . Currently I get paid every  2 weeks. I have been saving funding from each paycheck to purchase our much more advanced servers that will host our pool. Soon we will have redundant servers to assist with widening our reach as a pool.

Currently just staying focused and saving up funds. We are taking donations but please do not feel pressured. One way or the other the new servers are going to get bought. Just takes me some time to save up money for them.  Most our problems will be solved by better servers but a project has to start somewhere.We are just getting started.

I will definitely follow your work. I am very happy to see projects like this one, and if you are still active in the future, I will support you if needed.

Thanks for keeping a mood of mining alive, as I would say to Kano or CK,

Have a great day

thank you. Yes the majority of hashpower on solo-bitcoin.com pool will be ASIC. ASIC more than welcome on the pool. The concept of chip tracing and logging is crucial to be fully transparent. To give better control to a pool community to verify who, what and when solved a block on the pool.

One of the primary goals of solo-bitcoin.com pool is to give the community all logs and as much information on how the pool rewards and operates. Chip tracing and proof of rewards distribution to the specific miner who solved the block is critical.

Very cool idea, it is going to be interesting if a pool is able to find blocks just with CPU and GPU power. But as the chip can be traced that finds the block I guess there is also the option to join with an asic?

1. To gain knowledge
2. To honor the early adopters and ambassadors of bitcoin. Including my father RIP
3. Every single Bitcoin solved on a solo pool by smaller miners feels like it honors Satoshi's vision. That anyone could contribute to the network and  be rewarded.  That you do not need thousands of dollars worth of mining hardware to solve a bitcoin block. Level the playing field for anyone to be apart of bitcoin mining. Not just the handful of pools that solve the majority of the blocks.
4. To facilitate the first solved bitcoin block in a ages with something less than a ASIC rig. CPU or GPU. “I know this one seems silly but it is a goal close to my heart”
5. FUN, FUN and more FUN. Not sure if you remember the feeling of being overtaken with bitcoin’s promise? To feel so excited about being apart of something much bigger than yourself? To feel like you have a great purpose or cause to pursue? To be happy in what you are doing. Happiness!! This is why I am doing all this.

I think that you just need to read the last paragraph of their previous post.

Simple question: why are you doing this all?

Thank you. Means a lot to know people are welcoming to the project. It's always stressful feeling that people won't accept  what you are trying to do. Thank you again for chipping away at that stress with your kind words.

Will update all statements. Yes the miner gets everything including transaction fees. thank you for reminding me of this. Only one address will get all rewards from a solved block. The address that the miner who solved it provided to the pool u- TheirBitcoinADDy. Solo-bitcoin.com gets nothing.

Yes . I understand 1-3. A project has to start somewhere. We will get there. With hard work, dedication and some fun. Thank you for all you have done for Bitcoin over the years. Thank you for building ckpool. An honor to have you on this thread. Even if your tone seems less than encouraging. Solo-bitcoin.com is actual a tribute to you and people like you. People who played a huge roll in making Bitcoin amazing. The legends of bitcoin. For the unknown and forgotten bitcoin legends also. Sound corny but true. I only seek knowledge .The knowledge i will collect in the process of partaking in the making of this pool is worth more than any fortune or riches. Some of my motivations are very close to my heart. This can be a lot of fun. Hope to hear from you more. Your input is worth gold. Seriously  

Um, since you say you pay the miner 6.25 BTC that means you keep the transaction fees.
Thus it's not a 0% fee.

For my (many worldwide) nodes (not the main pool which is way bigger) I use 32GB 4Core 8Thread 4GHz bare metal servers with recent CPUs

These things matter when running a pool:

1) You get block changes as fast as possible from the internet - i.e. fast worldwide network connections, not just one tiny server hiding in one tiny corner of the internet.
2) If you ever find a block, you send it out to the worldwide bitcoin network as fast as possible (see 1) above)
3) When a block change happens, your server handles it as quickly as possible, not some tiny unreliable slow cloud server.

i.e. worldwide fast internet connections and fast CPUs (not cloud VPS shared CPUs)

Very cool. Always good to see more projects like this!

Ran some more test. Today attempted to connect to remote Bitcoin core full node. The same that was used to successfully mine bitcoin testnet block.  Ran ckpool from a completely separate server. Each server runs fine until I connect the pool to the remote bitcoin node. Then the realloc(): invalid next size happens. My feeling and from what others have mentions is ram limitation is cause for error. Would this test not confirm ram limits is not the cause of this error ?

To-Do:
task 1.Set up a github:COMPLETE


Still learning . If I am doing something wrong or could be doing anything better please let me know.Anything to make this project better and to succeed.

Solo-Bitcoin.com a community driven 0% fee with 100% of the block reward going to the miner whom chip “CPU, GPU or ASIC” solved the Bitcoin block
