None of this will impact ckpool which will continue as is - especially since its funding was community sourced.

I don't see how half and half is gross; just because you don't like it, doesn't mean there aren't other people out there that want this, and even if it were the only pool being offered, you'd still have a way to do your 100% solo mining.

Funding working on something is the modern reality, as I have serious motivation issues with bitcoin related software development, and I'm sure you'd understand that a significant commission is a massive sweetener. If you feel like funding some improvement to solo pool be my guest, but there would have to be enough incentive, and something I'd be interested in working on.

The main thing that would stop me doing this is I don't really want to work with anyone else ever again long term. Short commissions have been things I've been happy doing, but I've still avoided doing any bitcoin related software work for years.

Hey man you do you. Your a legend in my book. You have way more to lose if something goes south in the new project. Right now your a legend to many bitcoin miners. Just hate to see that go away because something out of your hands by someone or something out of your control by another project. Your the man bro!!!!

No firm plans at this stage, but I've been offered a commission to design and build out a new pool with multiple nodes, originally with the 50% solo idea, but then I came up with the idea of making it configurable. Even if it were to replace this pool, solo mining would be entirely possible by specifying 100%. Separate ports could be set up to specify different defaults if it's not feasible or easy to use the password field.

The idea sounds interesting, personally, I don't see myself using it, but I am sure many others would.

I think it would be best to leave the default current port and password "x" for entirely solo mining (aka 100% solo) for the reasons below.

1- Some people who have gears pointed to solo mine on ckpool and do not follow this thread, Twitter, or anywhere else where they would know about the change.

2- Changing The miners that are currently set up would be a pain in the ***, personally, I have set up ckpool with a default password on a few hundred gears as a secondary/backup pool, and have done this for probably 6-7 clients who said they want to try for solo when their main pool is down, it would be a lot of unnecessary work to reach out to all of them again.

Of course, doesn't take too much to realize that my suggestion is biased as hell, but I still think it makes sense. Cheesy

Please Ck do not lower yourself for such a gimmicky scheme. Anything that is not solo is just a gimmicky thing like FPPS vs. PPLNS vs. PPS+. The saying “if it is not broke, don’t fix it” If it is not broke please do not fix it. Plenty of gimmicky Bitcoin pools out their with a wide variety of lame payout strategies. Only one really trusted SOLO Bitcoin pool . CK pool.

admittedly, that was also my first thought when I read the info here. I personally think that a Solominer acts out of the following motivation --> all or nothing, it's a lottery. He is not concerned with ROI or regular income or covering costs. For anything else, a miner would participate in one of dozens available shared pools with PPLNS+ or PPS.

I strongly suspect that CK- let himself be buttered up by a forum user here who has been pro-actively trying to land interested parties lately, especially through private messages. Possibly the offer was promising, which is why CK thought about it? Perhaps CK can tell us something more about how this idea came about and what motives and intentions are behind it.

Hi all.

I've opened discussion of the possibility of altering the solo pool mining algorithm to a mixed solo/shared alternative. I've been approached to help build out a pool with 50% solo and 50% shared (minus pool fee). However it occurred to me this could be made configurable, where you choose what percentage you mine solo. For example, by default it would default to 50/50, but you could choose to still mine 100% solo, or 0% solo. If you choose 100% solo you would receive no block reward unless you are the block solver. Conversely if you choose 0% solo, you would share in any blocks solved amongst people who choose to share. It would be as simple as setting your password field to the percentage chosen and have a default value if no password is set.

I started a poll regarding mixed mining here:
https://twitter.com/ckpooldev/status/1621753619463933953

Note that I've made no commitment to create such a pool at this time, but I may be convinced to do so if there is overwhelming support.

Mining on ck pool for a long time !!! You came highly recommended by your long standing in the bitcoin community .Gross 50/50. Please Ck do not lower yourself for such a gimmicky scheme. Anything that is not solo is just a gimmicky thing like FPPS vs. PPLNS vs. PPS+. The saying “if it is not broke, don’t fix it” If it is not broke please do not fix it. Plenty of gimmicky Bitcoin pools out their with a wide variety of lame payout strategies. Only one really trusted SOLO Bitcoin pool . CK pool.

If I could vote on how you spent your time over taking the lame commission. Please focus on doing something unique with CK pool 100% solo . A new feature? New connectivity?. Another cool function for ck pool? Or…? But for god sake do not dilute yourself with such a waste of time 50/50 gimmicky thing like the proposal. People hear the name CK Pool and think prestigious and widely trusted 1# Bitcoin solo pool. Would not allow another project to sully that image you have built over a very long time.

Thank you for all the work you have done for Bitcoin Community and the little miners around the globe.

This sounds like a great idea to me.

I like the concept of solo mining a block at ck-pool, and also like the idea of sharing some of BTC with fellow solo miners if I get lucky.

On the other side, it's also nice to get some sats when someone else in the pool found a block.

Win/win in my mind. Great proposal.

Do you plan a new add pool or do you plan to change the actual pool to the new one?
Is solo mining than possible… as we do that today?

I can give you my support for such a pool here if you mind.
I am not going anywhere else (Discord/Telegram/Twitter/Facebook/Meatverse/ or what ever of anti social media), I am here at Bitcointalk.org.

Thanks. Not a problem, I didn't post it here to get people onto twitter unless they're already on there. I just wished to make people aware of the discussion.

That's a great idea CK !
I would love to see this idea done one day.

In the scenerio of shared shares, what about the fees if a block is solved ? Could we imagine a system like mmpool where the block solver keep the fees ?

Edit : I don't have a Twitter account, please consider my vote as a +1 in favor of shared hashrate

What is the best port to connect ASICs to CK Pool

take a look into the first page --> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54141823

Quote

Configuration:
Just point your miner to: stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 or port 443
Asicminer tube/prisma owners need to point to a special proxy at solo.ckpool.org:3335
If you use an incompatible rental service that refuses to work on port 3333 or need a high diff, try port 4334
