Topic: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved! - page 149. (Read 1514767 times)

Dear users whirledps1 , orionberry and eagleUSER , you are repeatedly trying unsuccessfully to connect to his pool with a regular username. Please fix your login to only use a bitcoin address as your username.

If I fix it and restart the pool... which is likely to happen in the next couple of days.

So on the next block -ck, will the stats reset?

About 770 Th from that miner,  they probably be finding the rest of the blocks here  

Wonder what the Power charges are for that setup monthly?
Breaking even atleast?

Nice R&D ck, interesting stuff and sounds like it does the job.

Block solved after 163% diff shares.
3rd block solved by this miner/address, congratulations!

The share count/best share is still not resetting on the main pool so please ignore the reported value.

This is the first block solved and submitted with the new code that's designed to submit code as quickly as possible across the different pools to help propagate it even faster than the relay network can.

It was found and submitted at 45.263 on the DE pool which then confirmed it at 45.636:
[2017-01-27 21:46:45.263] Possible block solve diff 29969507946342.382812 !
[2017-01-27 21:46:45.636] BLOCK ACCEPTED!

It was simultaneously sent to the main pool for submission there; the main pool is 130ms ping away from the DE pool.
The main pool then submitted it at 45.332, only 69ms later - which is exactly half the ping time and then the main pool confirmed it at 45.567
[2017-01-27 15:46:45.332] Possible remote block solve diff 29969507946342.382812 !
[2017-01-27 15:46:45.567] BLOCK ACCEPTED!

So it was actually confirmed at the main pool earlier than at the DE pool where it was found, because the main pool's hardware is much more powerful than the DE pool.
This would mean the block was propagated faster across the world than either pool could have by itself since it was propagated from both sides of the world at approximately the same time, making chance of the block being orphaned as small as possible. This is the new "remote" code I've been working on for some time in ckpool and is why there were so many restarts of the pool in the last month to implement.

It seems to me that with such hashs your chance to find block is very small, where a single unit for 3-4 months, but still depends on luck. You may luck will smile and you will find block for first month or vice versa will be looking for six months.

Unless it's faulty, any hardware whatsoever can find a block. It doesn't matter what it is, only total hashes matter as I originally said.

Great. I have one more thing I would need your advice guys.

I see a lot of post here that mostly S9 found a block. I'm planing to buy 20x Antminer s7 is it worth, if i will be solo mining at ckpool?

I'm more interested in Antminers S7 since I find them way cheaper free shipping used no customs tax and electricity  is very cheap in my country so electricity is not a problem for me.
I did buy and own 2 Antminer S9 11&13ths and they did cost. For 1 Antminer S9 11ths with customs and shipping I paid totally 2900$.
With 2900$ I can buy like 10x Antminer S7.

Can i buy 20x Antminers S7 for solo mining! Maybe I should better get only Antminers S9!

Thanks

By spread, he means you are better off having your hash all within a given difficulty period instead of having it cross multiple difficulty adjustments.

Let's assume the difficulty adjustment just happened and you were going to rent 50TH for 30 days.  You would be better off renting 150TH for 10 days.  At the end of your rentals, you've still gotten the same number of hashes, but with the second option, all of that happened at the current network difficulty.

I will point all my THS to my only one of my btc adress: 192FAn5iGZiang9B6WAd9Vsx5Uzq64Rpp5 I will not spread. What did you mean about spread.?
I know it's better to have them all together at one worker one BTC address all the hash I have.

I will config my miners that I own and the hash that I will rent with the following config as you can see here in my example.

example:
url: de.ckpool.org:3333
username: 192FAn5iGZiang9B6WAd9Vsx5Uzq64Rpp5
pwd: none

Thanks

I'd say solo mining has been ridiculous odds for years so it's really nothing different on that front; it's still a gamble - high risk for potentially high rewards (and a little exciting too.)
It doesn't matter how you spread out your hashing, your chance of finding a block is simply related to the total hashes. However as Mike pointed out
This is the main risk you take if you spread your hashes beyond the current difficulty period, and diff will continue to rise for some time yet.

I've got 25TH on here for 2 months now adding more all the time. I figure it's a year long investment planning to do it for any less time is unrealistic.

After a year I'll be so far in I'll have to keep it up till I solve a block then call it a loss and go back to the pool

The longer you wait, the higher the network difficulty will be.

I'm mining on slushpool and planing this week to stop and going to try some solo mining at de.ckpool.org for some months since in EU de.ckpool.org i think is better.

Atm I have 50ths with my Antminers S9 & S7 and extending every month.

I also have some BTC that I'm willing to invest on renting some hash from miningrentals. I know it is up to luck still but more hashrate chances are better.

My question is with my 50ths and If I will rent 130THs for 100-200h should I start with all the max ths 180ths from the beginning or is it better to start first with 50THS that I have from my miners leave it for some weeks or months and then do a push with 130THS from renting for 100-200hours.

Thanks   

Well with a 16.64% increase in difficulty and another 15% or so that might be coming in the next jump, solo mining is getting to be ridiculous odds......   never the less I will run my little S5 at half rate, just for fun.....

I brook my bad chance now. I believe we will found 2 blocks until 27th January (1PVzpVehisitghFCjk87m6qJ35UizAa1BB)

I have 6 compac.
One of them has a bestever of... 5.874.361.869

All complete, mine on!

A reminder if you're looking at the total accepted shares at the pool at the moment, it did not properly reset on the last block found so there are 754G extra shares there. As you know, though, the last block found time is not a predictor of when the next block will be found, but I know people still like looking at the numbers (and some people think they can gleam something useful from them.)
