Thanks Darkstar_ , I understand what he meant now.
I've got about 300T pointed there for the next 15 hours. Good luck all!

Last I checked, this was the BITCOINtalk forum and you're in the BITCOIN mining section, so no, not sha256, but BITCOIN ONLY.
Now I am confused. Do I have this set right on Nicehash?
You can choose any algo from the drop down box. I have it set to sha256 and pointing at CK.

Some other currencies use the algorithm SHA256 and not just bitcoin. -ck meant that the pool only supports bitcoin mining, and won't work for other SHA256 currencies. There are also other currencies that use other algorithms like Litecoin, which uses Scrypt (again not supported by the pool).
Looks correct to me.

I think diff was around 600k when I first started mining (June 2011).
I just checked the diff at the time I first joined bitcointalk and started mining and it was 555k. ~1 million times less than it is today. My first miner was a 220MH GPU. I was earning about 40x what an avalon7 earns today with that hashrate.Yep those were the days. I just retired my mining turned gaming GPU's, 5830 and 5770, in the last couple weeks. It was really sad putting them back in their boxes. But they had a really good run of mining and then gaming, almost 6 years of service.

Those were the days, 25 BTC blocks (even though BTC was only worth $250 each) and only 102B to solve a block.
Well if we're going to compare... I can remember 50BTC blocks, $3 BTC and 30 million diff. 
Wasn't it in 2011 when the difficulty broke 1M? I seem to remember allot of people saying they were quitting because it wouldn't be profitable to mine anymore.
I wonder how many BTC are lost forever due to people losing their old wallets?
Allot! The first time Bitcoin hit $1200 a guy was digging up a landfill because he through out his old laptop which had 7,500 BTC on it.
I just wish I had the Bitcoin back that I wasted on the early ASIC's. 13.48 BTC for a Jalapeno, ouch.

I...Me that's what I would do. Not only would it make me feel great, I know I would be breaking the mold of the greedy fucks that have taken over Bitcoin. They do nothing for the community except line their own pockets. You would think that the SOLO mining community would have more compassion, because we are probably 75% home hobby miners.
You are confusing massive wins on the lottery with a solo block and are mixing in all miner types in your thinking. Yes there are people with a single low hashrate mining device on this pool and they have to be extremely lucky to find a block - and they do occasionally. However the bulk of the blocks lately are being found by much larger miners, at least 100TH, and often they've spent more money on their mining investment, or spent more on renting hashrate, than the amount they have been rewarded. They're not really winning the lottery with their block finds; the margins are much smaller since they invested much more (and renting overall for long enough is a guaranteed loss.)

What's wrong with our society is that too many people see someone else investing in excess of $50,000 (in excess of a couple/few million if you go the whole 230 blocks) and thinking that they should be given something from the other guy's solo mining returns just because they are breathing.
Let's see....
(If I) hit one you better be damn sure I would share. I would find a family man with kids and bills

edit sorry -ck didn't want to derail your thread. hopefully someone with a soul finds a block soon!!!!
April 07, 2017, 04:41:16 PM
...Let me guess, he's never shared any of the bitcoins?
Why would he? 
I know both blocks I found I tipped -ck, it's only right!!!
