Hello, is there a way to get notified over email if you hit a block?? It would be a nice feature. Thank you.

There are apps that will alert you on your phone if that helps

Could please give me more info? Thanks.

Actually to be fair I'm not sure they work alerting for block finding since ckpool went solo.

But the apps I know of that work with ckpool are:

Apple: Ckpool Stats - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ckpool-stats/id1076177533
Android: CheckPool - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexdib.miningpoolmonitor

I've never found a solo block here so tbh I don't know if they do what you want. But some others have come up with good solutions based on wallet alerts.

If you want to do wallet alerts, you can also use Sentinel on Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samourai.sentinel


Thank you very much.

Just get a wallet with an app that notifies you of a deposit, nice hash, binance whatever
1) Those are third party sites and not under your own control: not your keys, not your bitcoin. Don't think that is very smart.
2) some sites do not accept coinbase transactions as a deposit so if one is to use one of those 'wallets' then make damn sure they allow it.

As to 1 agreed, but it would only be a temporary wallet and both are trusted

2 both the examples I gave would work

I'm also interested if there is app for it. Which one do you mean / do you have an example?

There is the site https://cryptocurrencyalerting.com/ that can alert via sms or email when a BTC address balance changes.

I have not tried it but it looks like a well-built site.

I built one in-house to watch and alert on BTC balance as well as on hashrate so it auto-reboots the miner when it gets in an odd state. 

Perl scripts still have their place in the world :-)

Thank you this is exactly what i've been looking for

Happy mining!

You can just run a cron job that runs every minute or so that fetches the latest stats from ckpool and the current difficulty from an explorer like mempool.space and then compare your best share with the current difficulty.

If your best share is larger than current difficulty, then you probably hit a block, so send an email.

Thank you, but this sounds incredibily technical for my knowledge, I know a thing or two but your reply just went over my head. 😩😩

Hello all, new Solo Miner here testing my luck on solo.ckpool with some CompacF's I was able to snag a few weeks ago. I had a couple newbie questions/clarifications for you guys if you dont mind...

- I came across a post that mentioned cgminer may not support BECH addresses for solo mining, only p2pkh addreses, is this still the case? (I am currently using my "bc1" BECH address)
ckpool solo supports bech addresses
Quote
- Also want to confirm the - p (password) to be entered can be any random generated password and there is no need to enter this password in the cgminer backend?
Any random password will do. Don't understand the last part because the -p option is entering the password in cgminer so what backend are you talking about? the -p argument can be anything you want.
Quote
- If I wanted to occasionally rent some hash I would use the same pool address (cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u xxx.0 -p xxx) with possibly a different "xxx.worker" name ?
Use the same btc address as worker name but use a different port. For instance Nicehash requires a higher difficulty port so use port 4334 as mentioned in the topic start.

Thank You Gws24, appreciate the assistance. Regarding the Password, I see what you are saying about the -p argument entering this password in cgminer. My coding level is minimal at best and figured this was the case just wanted to make sure it did not need to be registered elsewhere. So far have seven CompacF's running and figure I throw some extra hash at it every once in a while. Thanks again!

Thank you all, I really appreciate it!
bech32 addresses are supported, bech32m (AKA taproot) are not.
