Topic: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 1% fee solo mining USA/DE 251 blocks solved! - page 475. (Read 1514087 times)

Hi everyone,

I just PM'd Ruu with a message.  I know it's late... 2:54am my time.  Just curious if someone can help by having a look at this copy of a Personal Message I've sent to Ruu?








To setup my S3's to hash on your solo pool; I have three "pool" options.  I know I need to have your address in the "Pool 1" in "Miner Configuration."

I'm just a little confused about the address.

In your example you have the following:

Set your username to your btcaddress with any or even no worker extension, and any password.
eg: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0 -p x

What is confusing me is in the color RED



When I log in to my Bitmain Antminer S3+ and go to "Miner Configuration" should it look like the following:

Pool 1                  stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
Pool 1 worker       1FAqPBCr19f3tJybRoaeNxih1hsmK9bMEH
Pool 1 password    any

Also,

when I put multiple S3's on your pool I would like to have a worker extension for each S3.  I'm pretty sure the .0 at the end of the BTCaddress is an example you have given as the worker extension.  However, I'm one who likes to be 100% sure.  This is only my 5th day of mining.  So, please bare with the "Newbie."  LOL

What is confusing me is the -p x  

Would that worker extension added to my BTCaddress look something like the following:

1FAqPBCr19f3tJybRoaeNxih1hsmK9bMEH.1

I think what is confusing me the most is the -u and the -p x

Your help would be appreciated greatly!!!

Just moved more miners here at about 2.3TH now and hope to get lucky!

Enjoy. You need about 300TH at the current diff to find one block on average till the next diff change. But you may find 10 or you may find none in that time. However you could also find a block with just 1GH as well in that time if you're exceedingly lucky. Which means that this pool, which peaked at ~75TH has only a 1 in 4 chance of finding a block this diff period if it maintains that hashrate, and of course, only one miner will get the reward! Solo by definition has the most variance since regular pools were actually invented to offset this but there is no way to strike it rich on them.

It is more efficient to switch pools instead of balancing across pools for the reasons I've outlined earlier in this thread. Either setting some of your miners to one pool and others to other pools, or using the rotate strategy is better than either of the balance mechanisms.

Good luck!

You can add it as a watch-only address on Blockchain. Then you'll get an email every time it receives a payout.

You could watch the ckpool payout address from the OP and see when there are coins generated: https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ. I'm sure there is some software around that can alert you to activity on that address.

And good luck!

Reset and get your max hash rate.

Kinda silly question but when hashrate drops after 24 hours or so like on an s3 when solo mining here is is better to restart miner to regain 50gh/s or to let it run at lower hash....I always reset when running on my normal pools but know I have pointed a single s3 to this pool for the next 6-12 months in hopes of JACKPOT just wondering if i should do daily restart or simply leave it alone unless losing 100+ gh/s

Hi everyone - Bit nervous but in also joining too, with a bit of inspiration from the other block finders im throwing everything i have in.

Need some luck really so im bringing the slush rain dance with me, good luck everyone 

ok, CK been always reading your posts !

I'll give it a try ! Have about 1/2 of pool hashing power 

NOOB question, how do I/We know when someone hits a block ? *besides the announcement made by you*

Guys WISH me LUCK & I will NEED lots of it.

can you elaborate?

look at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty#How_soon_might_I_expect_to_generate_a_block.3F and put the formula in excel  

Or use this http://tpbitcalc.appspot.com/ (it's an old one so you have to input your hashrate in MH/s); after calculating it shows the average time to find a block on the bottom.

Havent tried it out yet but i like your concept, as I have been trying to figure out solomining with my rack os s3+ and s3.  What would you say the idea amount of GHs does it take to find a block at the current difficulty. Someone should create a online calculator for that one  

I cant figure out how to find my pc with the antminer as i dont have a static ip (i presume thats the issue)

So this makes your idea a much easier way to go

So with that being said, is it better to take say 5 out of 15 units or take a load balance or balance from each unit.

THANK YOU CK!!! LEGENDARY!!!

I've wanted to solo mine for a long time now, but don't have the hardware to run a full node. I really appreciate this.

I am pointing 3 sets of hash.


I really appreciate this ck

 My analysis  is very simple if you are under 3th point it here at ck's pool.

  Basically  the math is simple if you have 1 watt gear or better the math favors solo mining. Not pool mining.

Ok thank you

It's up to you. You can aim them all at the same address or you can give them all unique addresses to mine to. It makes no difference to your chance of solving a block, it just changes where your hashing shows up in your private stats, either combined aiming at the one address or per-address.

So as I add more miners do I just use the same wallet address? Then when I run the stats it will just show the hashing as one miner right? Thanks

why not. a legion of u2s stand before this task.

Great. Good luck!

as promised I pointed 1 s-3 here. will keep it here for 45 days.
