Ck we need your help to learn the secret of solo mining .

the Role to find a block is

Power or luck

If we choose power so we have to rent about 1p a day .
If we choose Luck so we can link our miners and rentals to 10 pools.

If I Rent a V P S   server for 1 month with full performance and create 10 solo pool then Link my 10 miners divided to them 1 miner run in 1 pool
(OR RENT 100 T a day and divided 10 T for 1 Pool )  dose I will have great chance to got at least 1 lucky block ?

Thanks very much

so the million dollar question is - If I mine with 1 Ph for 24 hours, does it have the same odds as 2 Ph for 12 hours for finding a block?  I know it appears to be the same but I would suspect that there is actually a difference - but I am not a statistics guy Smiley


Dang, you have 3PH at ckpool right now!

Thanks, they're all back and happy now. I think MRR temporarily blocks a pool for 10 minutes if it can't connect to it (not sure what their threshold is) so it could be on their end, I just noticed it happened a few times tonight.
With all the recent bug tracking I was doing on Kano's pool and finally sorted the problems, this pool had ended up in an intermediate code point between the old and new when I last restarted it so it probably wasn't running ideal.

CK, is your server's datacenter having issues tonight? I've had alot of my rentals failover to their backup pool (kano's) several times over the last couple of hours. Just curious if you saw anything or not?
Seems ok but I'll give the pool a kick in the arse to bring it in line with current code just in case.

Question.  I know on the P2P forms they recommend that we set the cgminer options to = queue= 0 or 1 what or recommended for the solo pool for best performance.

Thanks

I was wondering if anyone would do a group hash rental on westhash. Divided we have a lesser chance, but together there is a greater chance.

Mine at Jonny's Pool
Has anyone hit renting with nice or west hash?  I have spent quit a bit of coin attempting it.  not 40 or 50 maybe 10 btc

 Curious to know how many of the  41 blocks have been hit by nice-west hash rentals.

For instance  727miner used MRR


I threw 3 BTC over the past 2 weeks on and off from westhash about 0.0097avg, no wins.

Does anyone have a calculation how many TH should one rent for a day to have an equal chance (50%/50%) hitting or not hitting a block?
Easy... To have a 50% chance of hitting a block in a day means you would want enough hash to expect to find a block in 2 days...
Code:
47610564513 * 2^32 / 172800 = hash rate = 1.1833669995801 PH/s
So you'd need to rent just about 1.2PH to have a 50% expected chance of hitting a block in a day.

Well ... if you put a pool (or miner) hash rate into mine it will tell you how many BTC you should expect to make each day at the pool (and the miner)
So ... you can work it out pretty easily.
http://tradebtc.net/bitcalc.php
It says ... 1184THs should average just over 0.5 blocks a day at a pool
(you put in any number X for the pool hash rate then look at the number of blocks it says the pool will find Y then: X * 0.5 / Y)

I think that's the problem from the nice/westhash side... it would appear that they are somehow keeping an authorized open connection with the pool, and vardiff is continuously lowering until it hits 4... then when the hash rate climbs, nice/westhash determines that the difficulty of 4 is too low for the hash rate and disconnects.

I know for a fact that ckpool properly addresses difficulty.  I've got 5 U2 sticks solo mining here and they get a difficulty of 7, so 651GH/s would definitely not see a diff of 4.

It's an issue on the nice/westhash side.
Indeed this is not a problem with ckpool applying some kind of restriction on mining. I do have quite a few miners mining with 2GH or less, despite what you see here and the feedback of shares is helpful to them. If nice/westhash want to have an arbitrary lower limit on diff they support they should use the "suggest diff" method that is in the original stratum specification so that the pool knows what the mining client wants.

that keeps me thinking is it possible to attack ck pool with low diff shares, not so useful(and expensive with 2pths) at these days , but still..
Why do you think it would let you continue mining at the low diff? As soon as the hashrate climbed it would just keep bumping your diff up and ckpool has the fastest adapting diff algorithm in use of any pool software. ckpool also happens to be absurdly scalable (which was the whole point of the design when I started writing it) so it could likely handle 100k clients. There are much more effective ways to "attack" a pool, like any server, though there's really nothing to gain by attacking this one, just downtime.
