How do we know when a block is found other than it posting in cgminer

The worker name is your btc adress. So if you wake up someday and open your wallet, maybe you'll find around 12,5 BTC more in it.
Thats the moment to check this thread and find out when you solve those nice block

How do we know when a block is found other than it posting in cgminer (which if you arent constantly watching it you can miss it)? I'm totally digging having a use again for my usb miners but I find the stats for this solo pool are a bit lacking.

Is there a better stats page or web app other than: http://solo.ckpool.org/pool ?

Thanks a ton!

Seems the last couple solo solves have been 4PH+ rentals. That's a lucky payoff for someone rolling the dice, I miss the days when the little guys solved 'em solo, and when we saw solo solves every couple days.

I have rented a few PH before just as a gamble never even came close. Hard as hell hitting a block

But aren't network difficulty and pool difficulty different?

Not on this pool. You're mining solo; unless you hit the network difficulty you get zero here. The other "diff" is purely for miner feedback to know you're hashing.

Actually, by my math, it should be possible about once every 860 million years. Tongue

But then someone gets lucky and hits a block and the world goes NUTS!!!

Hi! Another noob here, so please bear with me.

I am using the Bitcoin miner app for Windows 10, and the difficulty says "1000". I have the app set to Ckpool, and I am running 32MH/s. If I could I would provide a screenshot. Is this the actual difficulty I am running on, and if so, based on calculations, what would be my block time?

Never in a trillion years. CPU mining is quadrillions of times slower than current hardware miners. You can not meaningfully mine bitcoin with CPU or GPU. You need an ASIC.

...It is not hard to ssh into a S7 or S9 and switch pools manually and watch the share submission and time difficulty adjustment....

One would assume that if you're able to do that, then you're able to see that the rigs, themselves, run on a 1 diff no matter what you set. Wink

I just tested a S9 I have running on solo right now with a backup pool of Kano. In console I switched to kano and timed the difficulty adjust. Diff stayed at 1024 for exactly 60 seconds and then switched to 8.38 K. Before I had done this test it was running at 10.8K on solo and had been for days. When I switched back to solo diff quickly dropped down from 10.8K to 4K after only a few minutes of no hashrate. I understand about the smaller miners but as you said they will probably never make money mining, so why cater to these in-efficient miners?

Not sure how you're conducting your tests for you see... solo and kano run the same pool software which I wrote so what you say is nigh on impossible. The only difference is solo's start is exactly 1k whereas it's 1042 on kano which is virtually the same (+ Douglas Adams' 42)

I understand you wrote the software that is why I am making the suggestion. It is not hard to ssh into a S7 or S9 and switch pools manually and watch the share submission and time difficulty adjustment. I can take a video of it if you want I guess...

I have seen entire 300 TH workers disconnect on NH ramp up due to the difficulty not adjusting quick enough. Large hashrate rentals on MRR are the same way.

A higher starting diff would definitely help with rentals starting speed.

Isn't it best to increase the starting diff now anyways. Most miners are 4TH or higher now.

I have an awful lot of miners on the pool, most of which are running adhoc rigs of all shapes and sizes - a lot of them lower hashrate older generation hardware that will never make money mining but they run them as a lottery. 1k is fine as a compromise since ckpool adapts so quickly upwards anyway, in less than 30 seconds. If it was the era where you watch consoles which cgminer is running you could see it for yourself, but alas these days it's all hidden behind web interfaces and obfuscation. I've never heard of any rentals, even 8PH ones, having any trouble starting quickly on this pool.

If I rent 750TH/s and up it can take a while before the workers running at full Speed due the low starting Diff. Maybe you can add a highdiff Port in the Future, but I personaly have no Problems with your Pool. Thank you for your Work and your Support :-)
