Topic: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 256 blocks solved! - page 209. (Read 105981 times)

The pool adjusts difficulty automatically to submit approximately 18 shares per minute.  So you don't need to worry about difficulty settings.

Most people mine with Newpac's for the fun of it.  There is always a slight chance of finding a share that meets or exceeds the current difficulty for finding a block.  You have to decide for yourself what your point or goal is.

You didn't find a block!  A block was found on the network.  That happens about once every 10 minutes.

The chances of your finding a block with a Newpac are beyond astronomical.

Also if your miner found a block you would have a best share value above current difficulty.

Ah, thank you for the explanation and help. I thought I was playing the lottery. So what's the point of leaving NEWPACK on? What is the advantage and goal of this?
Is the difficulty set low or high?

It means just what it says. A new block was found on the network.  The pool was slow in detecting the new block and sending your miner new work.  Happens from time to time.  Has nothing to do with your miner.

Sure, but no payment appeared in my wallet, so I thought I had a badly set miner .... So how does a "lottery win" work out? Thank you

Hello yall,

I'm new here, I use USB Gekko NEWPACK.
This week, during solo mining at CKPOOL, the following message popped up:
"New block detected on networkbefore pool notification stratum from pool 0 at height 674900". What does it mean? I have a difficulty setting of 512 and 400Mhz overclock.

Thank you

Thank you!  Much appreciated.

I will check the generated conf file.  I saw one generated but didn't scrutinize it much.  I will. 

I would be up for it - haven't been able to buy any gpu's in weeks and didn't bet on March Madness.

Like Mikey said above,

you are on a lottery (luck) pool    this is an all or nothing mining pool

so do not ever expect a payout of BTC here, unless you solve the block, which then, you will get the block reward.

here's your odds
 
50 Gigahash
 
Chance per block: 1 in 2,964,035,084

Chance per day: 1 in 20,583,577

Time estimate: 56,393 years

You won't get any rewards mining to cksolo unless you find a block and then you get 6.25 btc + transaction fees - pool fees, but your hashrate shows 50 something GH, which means you will probably not make anything even mining to a PPS pool, what device are you using?

I almost have the same setup, just 2 Newpac Miners but with a big passive custom cooler (yeah, yeah there's nothing I have to compensate ;p), therefore clocked higher and it all runs flawlessly.
I start just the miner with a one-line-bash-script that provides the parameters and not with the config-file. For this sort of lottery mining I didnt define any failover pool and seeing my uptime it's imo a bit of an overkill 

This is a Solo Pool.  Read the top post.

Hi, i'm a new user...but i don't undertand how many BTC i mining.
This is my address https://solo.ckpool.org/users/3LVnW55gppwywvpMEcyEreE6u7u2RNRbRo

And, when i recive the BTC? Every 0,001BTC?

Thx for answer, sorry for my english...i'm italian.

Filippo.

you can always check your address for mining,
if you get stats, then you are mining

https://solo.ckpool.org/users/3QQ3G5yjQhDTPhGr7pWJEgMMnwFLKTmXVt         <---------- insert your address there

This is just additional info. You can always disable verbose logging in display options, to get rid of that.

Would we find enough participants for another run? It's time for block 258!

Thanks, guys, for the confirmations.

I just didn't understand the "Share above target" message and thought it was an error causing some rejection. 
I just have not seen that message before mining anything else in the past (BTC, ETH, DigiByte, ..., etc.) and just didn't know if I had everything configured properly.

Since it's solo mining and finding a block is unlikely anyway, I could not tell if it was actually mining.

I really do appreciate the help!

Yes you are mining.  CGMiner is showing hash rate and you have a best share.  What results don't look right for your hash rate??

@vmanupelli check the CGMiner.conf file in the cgminer directory. I suspect there are multiple pools defined there. Failover is the default afaik so that is not weird, what is weird is that you have multiple pools if you didn't define them yourself. But, as I said, check the conf file and go from there.

edit: by the way, you are mining to the solo pool and at full speed too because afaik 45 GH/s is about the normal max for those babies.

Thank you, chillfactr and powrslave, for the replies.  Much appreciated.

I was trying difficulty of 128 before but went and tried the 32 as suggested.  What I never realized is that there seems to be two pools behind this software.  First pool is Pool #0 and the second is Pool #1.  The pool "management strategy" is set by default to Failover so that would indicate two pools, at least.  There is also Round Robin and other management strategies to choose from.

What is happening now is that when I use the --suggest-diff 32, it seems to be modifying Pool #1.  Pool #0 still sits at difficulty 10,000.  And the Pool #0 seems to be the default because when I use verbose display mode it still says 10,000 difficulty.   I can manually force the software to use Pool #1 with the lower difficulty, which I did.  Now it's mining with the difficulty of 32 (well, it raises it to 72 automatically).  Still "Share above target" continually.

What is odd, though, is that even though it prints "Share above target" using Pool Management -> Information I see this:

It seems to be mining anyway?
Unless I am misunderstanding, it does seem to be mining.
Please correct me if I am wrong or if the results don't look right for the hashrate.  I am very new to these Newpacs and to cgminer and I appreciate the advice and expertise.
