Topic: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved! - page 104. (Read 1514767 times)

Hey all. Happy New Year! 

So what's the calculation for the necessary hash rate to solve 1 BTC per day? I lost my saved link to the site for it. 

input the address your mining to on the site under statistics: http://solo.ckpool.org/

Hi, I'm new and have some questions. So if I connect from Europe and I'd like to mine in solo in your pool I have to indicate deckpool.org:3333 on my miner, right?
Once my miner is mining where can I find my miner's work or how can I know that everything is ok?
Thanks

That's what I figured. It was clearly written to use your wallet address as your username   you can also see your stats using your wallet address too.

There's no such thing as accounts here. You're mixing this pool up with another one.

So, putting in walletaddress.whateverthename is correct?

Like 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.s9onthebalcony ?

I said "amen" before I clicked "Save&Apply".

There are two targets - the one that the pool accepts and the one the network accepts as a valid block.

Your 1 if the difficulty that the pool will accept. It recognizes you have a lowered powered machine, and it'll let you submit at that minimum level. As long as your erupters submit a share with difficulty of 1 or higher, the pool will accept it.

Now, the network difficulty is much, much, much higher. Your miners are essentially trying random numbers, mixing them with some other data, and hashing that. It is possible (but unlikely) and of your shares will actually be high enough for the network difficulty. It'd be over 1, so it'd be accepted, and it'd be over the difficulty target, so it'd solve for a block.

Thing of it like rolling dice.

Imagine you get a block if you roll 2 trillion dice and they all land on 6. For every dice that lands on 6, you get a point.

Your 1 share is proof that you're rolling the dice. If three of those land on 6, you get 3 points.  (your share would be 3/1 in this example).

If all of them land on six, you get 2 trillion points, and you find a block.

Now there's a lot more nuance than that in mining, but hopefully it explains the concept.

Likely it means someone found a block on the network, not even in the pool. If the pool found a block, you'd see a lot of posts here congratulating the finder.

It's highly unlikely you'll find a block with your PC, and you shouldn't even be using GPU or CPUs on the pool

Hey I'm using Coinminery for windows 10 and my Log says "Block found"... does that mean I found the block or just someone in the pool found the block?

Sorry folks - newbie question:

I've got a few block erupters pointed here, so pretty much the minimum hashpower one is allowed to participate with while I figure out the intricacies of mining before I point some more hash power at it. I love the idea of solo mining and using a pool like this is great for those of us who can't figure out how to run our own full node and do it independently. My total shares are over 100K at this point, but my best ever is only 30K - which seems a bit of a difference from expected based on the explanation above, and I'm not sure I can attribute this to pure luck.

My difficulty is being assigned by the pool as a 1/1, and I only occasionally break through with a higher number. I've seen multiple times on this thread that this is merely for confirmation that one is mining and doesn't actually change your chances of finding a block. Its still based on overall hashpower. My question is if difficulty is the TARGET (ie, the correct mining solution must be a number above the target difficulty), how can difficulty be assigned to a miner from the pool? Is it merely a representation of my successful hash's difficulty level (ie, most of my successful hashes are difficulty 1)? Is my difference between total shares and best ever share a reflection of my low hash power and random variance, or my allocation of work by the pool?

wawwww how lucky is that unbelivable?
i m goin solo with 10 of S9's will try a week who knows lol

I understand and it makes complete sense. I didn't know that the payment was nearly instant, so understanding that makes any other display of result superfluous indeed.

Thank you very much for the quick and helpful reply!

Nope you're not missing much, except one fairly major point - when a block is found, it appears instantaneously (not eventually) in the user's wallet as it's generated directly at their address thus bypassing any pool wallets or waiting for payouts or incurring any extra fees. Since it appears instantly, I can't possibly notify the block finder any faster than that. As for more information, the pool is intentionally no frills and extremely high performance. A list on a page is not going to bring you the block any easier, it just incurs overhead and ultimately is of zero utility. This forum is where all the public notifications occur and we cheer each other on instead of it being impersonal.

Please excuse my newbie question - I've been using pools for a while but I am new to solo mining... I searched but I couldn't find an answer anywhere:

If I mine on solo.ckpool.org, how do I find out if I found a block? Is there any way to find out/get notified if you found a block other than the payment (eventually) arriving in your wallet? That seems weird given that the information (I suppose) should be available to the operator of the pool, it is also shown (as statistics) on blocktrail.com, but it seems like it is not being shown anywhere to the users mining on ckpool. All I can see is the (very basic) stats of the ongoing hash, but not the result (if any).

Am I missing something?

I sorry then.

OMG!!!!!

Short answer:
Because that's what people are willing to pay.

why's the fee so high  ?

It's nowhere in my current documentation and that's all that is relevant. Wikis go out of date very quickly I'm afraid...

Those pages are probably outdated in this regard. I updated the second one to include some more ports and to change the block reward from 25 btc to 12.5 btc about a month a go. That means that before me the pages weren't updated for at least a year since the block halvening was about mid 2016.
