Shouldn't you wait till like next week when the diff will likely drop heavily?
https://diff.cryptothis.com/

price of renting will go up a bit so it evens out.

Also might take us a few days to fill the list hopefully we can fill it and be ready for the drop if a block is not found beforehand.

Posted this in the old topic thought some of you might find it useful re-adding it to this new topic.

Simple script for keeping eyes on your miners and the pool and some other network stats and latest BTC price with a simple python script.

Just put your Bitcoin address you use to mine to into lines.

#41  req = urllib2.Request("http://solo.ckpool.org/users/YOURADDRESSHERE")
# 189 req = urllib2.Request("https://blockchain.info/balance?active=YOURADDRESSHERE")

To change the time out edit line 210

Copy the code below and save it as MinerCheck.py

then just run python MinerCheck.py

Code:
# CK Solo Pool Python Miner & Pool Monitor
# Donations welcome : 3JjsGHYQH8yVJA5G4mgPNHuoX4DHmU5fis
# users change the bitcoin address in line 41 & line 189 to there own worker

Yes, but performance would be shit.

First of all .... thank you for your code .... it is very easy for one to go "let me make the most out of my knowledge, and screw everyone else" and not to go your way!!! it is truly appreciated .... and hopefully .... rewarded!

So when you say performance ... what exactly do you mean?

Will it (when the luck comes) find and write a block on the blockchain?

Quick question ... if I run a BTC node in prune mode, will I still be able to mine off it? or does pruning disrupt the mining process! I'm looking into setting up my own ckpool node (for the fun of it)

Thank you for your response. The miner does show alive. I do have another question. I noticed the frequency per card is lower when mining on Ckpool. Is that because Nicehash overclocks even when genuine Bitmain firmware is installed?

I highly doubt that Nicehash has any control over the frequency of your miner's hash board, you are probably aren't running a fixed-frequency firmware and this is why the frequency would fluctuate from time to time, I know (without any rational explanation) that mining to Nicehash seems to cause a much higher failure rate than the ordinary pools with fixed difficulty, but I don't think that has anything to do with the frequency unless I am missing something.

lots and lots and lots of switching from coin to coin does cause issues.

You got the wrong port and location for the last one, it's actually

stratum+tcp://rfpool.org:3333 (Germany)


This is a passthrough service provided by o_solo_miner, not sure if Ck has anything to do with it, but I have tried it and it works flawlessly, this is great for those countries who piss off the U.S government and are banned from accessing U.S based servers, sort of a mining VPN.

This pool is also great to diagnose issues some people have with less reliable pools out there, and the fact you don't need an account to mine and verify hash is a huge plus.

Exactly, I have Cksolo pool as a back-up pool on hundreds of miners, it's a great way to tell if your miner or internet is having issues or it's the primary pool, it's easy to test and it's one of the few (very rare) mining pools that allow you to mine and see your mining status without having to go through the registration and creating worker names process.

CLEAN non GPL infringing code made in Rust lang
Actually there is one more, the previous Europe URL still works.

Code:
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333
And this takes me back to my reply on NFW's comment which I need to modify, Moeter81 has the right pool settings in the picture, and those de. URLs are for the solo pool despite not having the word "solo" in them.

Then i have these in my notes for solo.cpool.org unless i missed anything:

stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 (USA)
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333 (Germany)
stratum+tcp://rfpool.org:3334 (France)

This pool is also great to diagnose issues some people have with less reliable pools out there, and the fact you don't need an account to mine and verify hash is a huge plus.

It is truly a service to the community.

Hey everyone. I'm new. My miners keep hitting blocks in Nicehash so, I had to put at least one on here.

They keep hitting blocks on NiceHash because they mine Altcoins with very low difficulty, there is no "keep hitting blocks" when you start mining BTC only, so don't set your hopes too high.

I just want to make 100% sure I'm doing the "mining address" correctly. I put it as the bitcoin wallet on my Ledger Nano X. I've noticed some posts in here and the address doesn't start with bc1. Should I use a different address than the wallet address I am using? I also put .worker# after my wallet address. That will work, correct?

Addresses that start with bc1 bech32 (native Segwit) addresses, as far as I know, Ckpool allows that kind of address, as long as your miner status shows "alive" next to cksolo pool and you see your miners getting accepted shares on the pool status page, then you are good to go.

Would mining to this pool with my gaming pc be a waste of time for me because of a low hash rate or is it worth a try?  Tongue
It would be a waste. PC mining bitcoin became redundant over half a dozen years ago.
