Topic: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved! - page 160. (Read 1514767 times)

It's finally cooled off here to the point I need to heat my house, so I fired up my A6 last night for the first time since last spring and have my hat back in the solo lottery.  Wish I could afford/justify an A7 to play with, but my A6 is still a good piece of gear.  Wish I had a 240v outlet at my new house, it was a bit more efficient running off that than it is at 120v now.

Thanks for the test pool -ck
put around 20th
cmon solo block

if i hit it, ill donate a little extra for the cause. 

No as the update is (supposed to) work on both networks regardless, and there are other updates to the pool as well which were pending. When the test pool finds a block, I'll be moving back to the one pool again with the updated code, and just get all miners back on the one main pool through a series of seamless redirects the way I usually do, and simply leave that port open on the new pool as well as the existing port.

At this stage if I were to make a call, it's my guess that there will be a significant proportion of the network, maybe 15% that will persist with something like BU or just core pre-segwit, while there is a large chunk of mining entities that are currently neutral. I expect the neutral entities will simply switch with time when it's convenient to avoid fucking up the way I did with the pool. The remainder is the real issue, but with one year for segwit to activate I still expect they'll eventually come around. They've signalled support for all sorts of other things in the past and eventually abandoned them. A lot of the concerns regarding segwit, I believe, are a combination of minor valid concerns, perceived major concerns, and plain FUD, and I don't believe the minor valid concerns outweigh the benefits segwit brings to bitcoin at large.

And I'd just like to take this opportunity to bring up fucking up with the pool again. Even though it's out of character for me, I'd like to remind people of the slush incident - his pool had block withholding from a mining entity that likely lost the pool somewhere in the order of 250-500BTC depending on real luck over the course of about 3 months and that money was never reimbursed to the miners even though he allegedly found the offenders. Not sure what he ever did with the offenders but he certainly didn't treat that incident the way I did out of my own personal reserves of cash.

hi ck -- just wondering, if segwit adoption 95% is not reached -- does that mean we go back to old solo pool? Thanks

I have 1 of my SP30's pointed at it, and 1 of my SP20E's and 1 sp10 pointed at it as well.

Lol. Got my lucky s7 on it.

Thanks guys. The test pool is at a rip roaring 1.8% diff so it'll find a block in no time.

I pointed a 9.8Th/s S9 to the test pool 

Have pointed massiv 480GH/s for 6 hours to Testpool! -Never give up!-

I've pointed my 2 Antminer U3's (Total 100-120GH/s) to -ck's Test Pool to lend a helping hand

I've also pointed my massive 3.2TH at it

Although I only lottery mine for an hour and a half each day.

I'm Solo mining to your test server also (port 13333).

Software testing pays my bills so I'll throw my paltry 17.8 GH/s up on the test instance to help out.

Cheers,

Yeah i just solo mine as a small lottery ;-)

Again, thank you!

Quote for the record. Give me some time to get the money out of cold storage and I'll post a transaction ID once I've sent it.

EDIT: Sent, transaction ID:

Thanks Herb, that would have been an extremely generous offer. I would have at least paid you 100% pps back for the mining shares you'd have done so it cost you nothing.

The life of a coder ins't always a simple one. I also do mistake which normally doesn't cost much to my company but there is always one error that will tears us down even if we did all we could to avoid the situation.

I was hoping I would be one of the unlucky winner. I would have not ask anything from you.

Keep calm and code on !

I'd prefer you to use the 13333 port for now since that is testing the new code. However as I stated at the time, I make no guarantees regarding the service on that port so will not be doing the same should a problem arise with block submission on that test server, but I'm fairly confident there should be no problem this time. If that lack of guarantee is an issue then please mine on the regular port instead.

Thank you for your integrity. I'm going to solo mine to your pool address, which port would you prefer me to use?
3333 or 13333?

Edit: I am the owner of that address and am happy with your offer as resolution.

I wish I could be like herb and say forget about it, unfortunately although I've found over 25 blocks since I've started I'm still down over 60k due to bad personal luck.

This last block cost me over 40 coins since the last one I found a couple weeks ago and I was down to my last coin after money used from refinancing my home. Guess it's time to thank you again for your honesty and integrity.
