Now that I got the U3 up and running I'm trying my luck with the CrytoRig HitchHiker I mentioned previously. I am using BFGMiner with this stick and appear to have successfully joined the pool, but it is not reporting any successful shares like cgminer did with my U3. Is this normal to not get shares due to the slow speed of a single USB stick, maybe BFGminer doesn't report them like cgminer does, or is it indicative of a configuration error on my end?

Thanks in advance for the help again, and thanks for putting up with this noob's questions!

Starting diff is 1k you will get shares only very infrequently to start with at that low a hashrate. Eventually the pool will set you to a lower diff or if you were running cgminer instead of the hostile fork based off it you could also use the --suggest-diff command. It doesn't matter since shares have no intrinsic value with solo mining anyway. They're just mining feedback here.

The beginning difficulty is set to 1k. So a few 1k+ shares will need to submitted before the difficulty from the pool adjusts to a lower number. It could take a while on a lower end miner.

Please allow me to expand my question, do I need to open any specific ports for cgminer to talk to ckpool.org? Thanks for helping a noob.

No you do not. You are having some other kind of trouble, and it is not really clear what that trouble is.

I opened TCP port 3333 to outgoing traffic on my firewall and PRESTO, I'm mining!

Thank you so much to everyone who answered my questions.

You restrict outgoing traffic? Ok... that's unusual but perhaps windows needs all the security help it can get so I guess it does that by default and I didn't predict it.

Yea, I have the firewall on my router set up pretty aggressively I guess, nothing that windows did by default, it's how I have the hardware configured, call me paranoid. Now to figure out how to mine with more than once device at a time. Baby steps...

They all go out to port 3333 (unless you specify otherwise) so there shouldn't need to be any more router changes at least I would think.

Unless you allowed only that first machine to use that TCP Port. If your mining from a second machine you may need to add another rule allowing the second IP to use that port too.

Or setup a proxy internally and point all the miners on the internal network to that proxy box, then only the proxy needs to speak to the outside world. Pretty sure I've seen reference to something called ckproxy around here somewhere Tongue

it seems you did the right thing but something is wrong with your connectivity or firewall

ping solo.ckpool.org or linux mtr solo.ckpool.org
and finaly telnet solo.ckpool.org 3333
and press a couple of enters

Thank you, very helpful advice!

Ping'd solo.ckpool.org successfully, however, telnet solo.ckpool.org 3333 resulted in Connection Failed, could not open connection to the host on port 3333. Do I need to open port 3333 on my end as well?

Congrats on the recently block! I've enjoyed reading through this thread and seeing all the solved blocks.

So I am a new user here trying to get my first of two pieces of mining gear going and not having much luck with either. I have a question with one of them in particular that I'm curious if it is a problem from the pool, or hardware. I have a Cryptorig Hitchhiker usb stick (Bitfury ASIC, same chip used in red fury, blue fury). I downloaded the latest BFGminer, plugged in my usb stick, and then launched BFGminer using the following: bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u myBTCaddress.HH -p x -S all --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=50

The light on the ubs stick comes on briefly, the screen displays:
"Started bfgminer 5.1.0"

Then the light goes out, nothing happens on the screen, then it quits with:
"No server could be used! Exiting."

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Does the pool not like me, or is this a hardware issue. Thank you.

EDIT

Figured out if I use zadig to change the driver I can use cgminer, launch using cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u myBTCaddress.U3 -p x --suggest-diff 6 and I get the following:

Started cgminer 4.9.1
Probing for an alive pool
Waiting for work to be available from pools.

Then is just quits back to the command line after sitting there a minute. Any idea what I'm not doing right?

I'm really not understanding the concept of a solo pooled mining. Seems an oxymoron. Can someone explain? How is this different than mining a block on my own?

It is costly to mine solo on your own. You spend power to run a blockchain in a server pc.

So now if you have a big farm with 50th you now add the power to run a server to do true solo mining. It may pay to do it.

But if you run 2x machines at 2th. Running a server adds money to the cost.
