Perfect, you don't want the difficulty to change on your miner once it's found the ideal diff.

and small rigs with small hashrates should find hitting high numbers very rare as compared to high hashrate rigs.

ie a s21xp should hit more high numbers than a bitaxe gamma.

why is that the s21xp hash 270th and the gamma has 1th

so it has 270x chances to hit a high share over the gamma.

If its truly random, then a low hash rate miner has an equal chance of landing on a good nonce as a faster miner. In essence you could be issued a nonce that only requires one hash in order to find a share bigger than the network target.

In theory at least, the only advantage a faster miner has is that it uncovers more hashes than a slower miner so covers a bigger search area in the same time. nevertheless, any miner is capable of being lucky provided it is issued with a lucky nonce.

What I'm still uncertain of the driving mechanism behind how nonce values are created and distributed to individual miners and if there's any network manipulation of this mechanism.

As to the low returned share values, I have no idea what causes it but its clear to see if you view your log files regularly a pattern does start to show itself.

you are creating a pattern in your own mind you are looking too closely

at a few leaves and missing the forest.

Funny Mining Math:

Pool Luck [US pool] > 99% [seems like it's time]
Pool Luck [EU pool] ~ 44%
Total network hashrate > 775 EH [Yikes!]
Recently Adjusted difficulty > 110T [Yikes!!!]

Pool luck indicates something should hit soon, but the best share so far isn't even 45% of the crushing new Difficulty of over 110T, pus the relatively high total network hashrate makes it feel impossible.

Since the last Block here (where the stats reset), my modest little 290TH allocation has only achieved a 126B as best share in that month since, a painfully low number (and only about 0.11% of what's needed).

Bottom line, perhaps all these numbers don't mean much - so simply stated: good luck ladies and gentlemen! May a small miner find a Block here soon!

LFG!!!!

I've also noticed the painfully low numbers on the shares.

I'm running on eusolo and my rig did hit a 21.14B some time ago ( a few days after eusolo had started) but since then its best has been ~200M and most share subs are marginally larger than the pool difficulty.

I don't know if that means anything in particular, but it does seem odd and its not the first time I've seen this pattern. When I've seen it before it usually follows from a block being found, the next week or two the share sizes were almost always really low. However, this "low" seems to have gone on for ages.

Who knows, its supposed to be random right?

Man ,

Thanks for the info, You all rock! 1 more question is it better to mine to a exchange wallet or a personal wallet?

Entirely up to you, just remember, "Not your keys, not your BTC".

Personally, I use a custom address from my CEX and usually move proceeds from there to my Trezor or trading act.

When the ckpool software creates the work header it automatically applies a pool payout address for a definable % of the rewards as a fee function along with the solo user address or main pool wallet address.

2 payments at the same time.

98% to the winner 2% to ck

look at this block hit on ckpool in dec 2024

98% to block hitter

2% to pool fee

Sorry for the noob question but at roughly what hashrate are people hitting blocks on a semi regular basis and thus making their operation profitable?

good question.

but power cost

gear efficiency both matter.

If you have 40 s21xp miners which cost big bucks but are efficient.

you have about 40x270=10800 th

that will hit a block 1 time every 400 days if you have standard luck.

so you need to pay power on those machines for 400 days

one day power cost is about 864 kwatts or 86.40 a day at 10 cent power x 400 days = 34560 power cost for 400 days.

plus 75,000 for the machines total 109560 cost to maybe hit that block

plus rent a build plus cool it.

but in theory you would make profit.

also you would not mine here solo you would mine at a pool like viabtc.com and virtually be certain to hit coins.

likely make over 100 maybe 150 k in 400 days.

Another question I have.

There is the SHA256ASICBOOST (I can turn it on or off in my miners, it changes efficiency as far as I am aware)

Apart from the efficiency, does turning it ON or OFF changes anything related to my odds? Can I mix machines with ON and others with the option OFF?

AFAIK, ASIC boost improves the efficiency of the miner therefor increasing its hash rate marginally, so yes its worth turning on if your rig allows it.

It does both, it improves efficiency and allows for "faster" mining, it kinda takes a shorter route to hash blocks, but that's for a different topic, and, no, it has no effect on your chances of finding a block directly, although given the fact your hashrate should increase with ASICboost enabled using the same power, your chances would increase by the same factor.

In some very rare cases, some pools may not support AB and thus your chance of hitting a block there is exactly zero.

Hello, the question is, how is the Btc block located? How is the work on finding the block going, each new block is given a new task to equip? Does it turn out that if the block is not found, the next block starts from zero, or does the upcoming work increase the chances of finding the block? For example, we know that I have to find a block at 12.00 (conditionally block 123000). And under what conditions is the chance of finding a block higher at this time. For equipment that has been running for a month without stopping, or equipment that was started 2 hours ago. The power of the equipment, for example, is 100 th alone. Question: will the work of the equipment that has been working longer help in any way, or after each block is found, all the work starts anew?

Yes. After each block is found, all the work starts anew.
