No, and I feel safe in assuming never. 

Is there a solo.ckpool for BCH? Or, a BCH pool.ckpool?

We used to have a "best share" fun run for gekko sticks that pointed to this pool, I think the highest share ever was just over 1 billion; no one has ever come close to a block solve.

Just joined this pool with one Antminer U3. Will mine there till Antminer (or pool) dies. Wish me luck 

It should take about 1400 days on average to find a block with that hashrate... Or one in 1400 chance per day of finding a block.

So for kicks pointing my 5 workers with a consolidated total of 68.5THs what are my calculated chances in finding a block as in how long would it take to possibly find a block based on this hash rate?

3 S9 @ 13.5
2 S9 @ 14

Just curious... Would you recommend the pool or solo?

Many thx.

Thanks for the quick response! I know it's like trying to hit the lottery.

I have pointed my one 2Pac stick here to see if I would be the first one. 

Not in this pool. The smallest hashrate that ever solved a block here was about 100GH but that was a long time ago as well.

Has anyone in the solo pool ever solved a block with a gekkoscience 2pac ASIC miner or have heard other stories of these type of devices solving blocks?

Your miner takes a bunch of data and creates a hash. Based on the hexadecimal representation of the hash, it gets a difficulty value.

 For example, this hash: 00000000839a8e6886ab5951d76f411475428afc90947ee320161bbf18eb6048 - it has 8 leading zeroes. It's difficulty is 1. (This was the second block mined.) Take a modern block like: 00000000000000000000026a36ce6423544d841d51f5b36ffccb63e4a4ce0b12 -  25 leading zeroes, and a difficulty of 29.84 quadrillion. (You can look at the reverse of the block hash and count the zeroes [at the end since you've reversed it] and see how big of a number it is.)

If you find a block with a difficulty over the network difficulty, currently 1.9 trillion, you get a block. However, you'd have no idea your miners were doing anything at all since its unlikely you'd hit that. So the pool has a lower difficulty it'll accept, just to acknowledge it sees work coming from your miner. That's what it says as "Accepted". In the solo pool, that doesn't really matter, since you only get paid when you hit a network block, but other pools will pay you some percentage of a block other people hit based on the number of shares they've accepted.

Pools set the difficulty they'll accept based on their own rules - I believe solo pool can go as low as 1.

Other pools set the starting diff higher, which means you need more hash rate and faster ASICs to participate in that pool.

Ok, thats done set to 90 now. Could you please help me to understand what is this difficulty level, and how do we calculate them?
Thanks.

Ok, thanks 

This would be like having a monitor without a computer and wondering why you can't use the internet.

Thanks for answer. So in this situation is some benefit to hold cgminer running on my RPi2 without mining USB Stick?

For a 2Pac, use 90 as the suggested diff.

Thanks. What would be the ideal number to add? You mentioned 40 which is fine as it isn't working with 4000, I am wondering how this number affects the whole mining activity. I am playing the lottery as well, with my gekkoscience 2pac ASIC miner. Sorry for the lame question I am new.

Everything is working fine and indeed it is correct, your hashrate is zero because you don't have any mining hardware. Please read https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-mining-intro-rules-of-this-subforum-read-before-posting-2415854

Hi everyone,

I have unused RPi2 and I would like to take chance in "lottery" with solo.ckpool.org

I've installed cgminer 4.7.0 from repo on RPi2. To run:


So I see screen with that info:


Can you confirm that all is working fine? For me looks that is not working because this lines shows zero:
