So, a 120TH would give me an average of 1 block a difficulty level? Do you recommend solo mining with 120TH? Thanks
Recommend? Only if you like high risk stakes, as there is absolutely no guarantee that you'll actually get a block, even if on average mathematically you'd get one. You could get 5, or you could get none for the next 5 diff changes. Everyone would have a different view of how much risk they're willing to accept in order to increase their potential earnings with any investment and this is no different. My opinion is virtually irrelevant.

Can you give us the hash rate to achieve this kind of success?
However I can tell you how much you would need to get a block every day on average at current difficulty: About 1.4PH
So, a 120TH would give me an average of 1 block per difficulty level? Do you recommend solo mining with 120TH? Do you think that is a gamble or a stupid investment decision? If so, which one sounds better, " a gambler" or "a stupid investor"? Thanks.

They were so large they approached me about a special instance so their hashrate would not appear on the general solo pool's hashrate.
What I don't get fully: is there any advantage of mining on your pool (on a dedicated instance) over running a private ckpol for one's farm? Or more generally: does it make a difference at all to any miner (income wise)? Only reason I could think of is your bitcoind is better connected to other nodes and therefore updates blocks faster - at the cost of propagating this info to the other end of the world. Or am I missing something?

So are you saying size matters?
Only insofar as it increases your chance of finding a block. I do not prioritise them in any way. The only reason for a custom connection for them was to allow them to put a custom signature on the block which I'm willing to do for any large miner where large is >100TH. If you don't care about the coinbase signature then there's no advantage apart from perhaps hiding your hashrate. September 10, 2014, 08:56:32 PM
CK, may I ask at what speed the farm was mining at? And congratulations.
In this instance I'm not sure if the farm owner wants to remain anonymous so I'm not sure if I can say, but if you check the coinbase signature of that block on blockchain it may give you an idea as to who it is. https://blockchain.info/tx/6050b6c44e8c8471d1f1506495858e3bba64025bf276c4cb30c04bbf4860a93d
They were so large they approached me about a special instance so their hashrate would not appear on the general solo pool's hashrate. It is trivial for me to add extra custom solo instances for large miners.

Given the low frequency we're likely to be seeing blocks, I'll just post the found blocks here. I'm not even storing a share count or anything at the moment since shares mean nothing. We'll see if the popularity picks up and if I should add that in, but I suspect I'll mostly see a trickle of hashes from small hardware and the occasional failover.
If it's any indication (and you probably already know) one of the "competition" solo pool started last year November, reported 2.5 TH/s in February. It is now at 44 TH/s. They found their first block end of June and a total of 7 blocks since then.
yeah but they had a farm there for awhile with 160-180TH

Do you support testnet?
No I don't but I could easily set one up on a separate VPS. However these servers do have running costs and there's not much in the way of incentive with running a testnet pool is there?No:) Just asking.
