There will be a couple of blips shortly in mining as both solo pools are restarted for low level upgrades.

EDIT: All complete

Go straight to 2% now, you need to keep the pool alive for the long run.

Little blip right there on the "solo" node... DDoS active?
All quiet on the western front. Probably a network issue somewhere between you and the node.

3 mines, 3 different geographic places... could be a nationwide issue? Well... nvm, hashrate back up again

-ck, you need to put your fees up to 2%.  Even at the current reward of ~25BTC for solving a block, and.... if you found a block every month while charging 1%, that would yield ~250mBTC per month. Thats approx $100 USD, $142 AUD, or £72 GBP at today's prices.

My unlimited broadband connection costs £50 per month + the cost of electric (daily service charge of £0.75p that's £22 per month) and then £0.18 per KWh on top of that.  Even at 1%, I would be out of pocket and be working for free, and that's before my time and hardware is taken into account.

You owe it to your wife and family to do the best you can for them, they should come before your buddies on the board.  Don't give it away mate.  If it doesn't pay, your time is better spent with them than as a Bitslave.

Think for yourself
The fee -ck has been charging was fine for an experimental pool on very low end hardware.  The pool may still, technically, an experimental pool but has exceeded far beyond anyone's expectations.

So increasing the fee I think is just fine and required for the increased hardware and nodes.  Yes one can solo mine with Bitcoin-QT, but lets be realistic, Bitcoin-qt's reliability has been faltering since the 9.x versions.  I am currently running 11.2 and have it in my failover list's but it will spontaneously consume all RAM and max out the CPU.  I have to change the affinity every boot up so that it only consumes one physical thread (Core).

So solo mining only to ones local Bitcoin-qt just isn't feasibly reliable anymore if you have a large mining hardware investment, which I don't by the way.  So these and the previously mentioned reasons clearly show the value of this pool and more than ample justification for a fee increase.

Thank You -ck and Kano for your continuing and expanding contributions.

Milliseconds slower maybe, but seconds slower? Not possible.

Here is a link to see the seconds difference between the BIG pools on block notification.

http://poolbench.antminer.link/#

Your home bitcoind could be seeing new blocks as much to a whole minute behind the rest of the network.  This results in your miners working on work from the last block during the time it takes to realize a new block has been found.  This work is wasted as no new block can possibly be found on an old blocks work.

You can probably see the difference between your home solo mining attempt and ck's solo pool by just watching the cgminer interface during a block change.  If ckpool is your backup you will notice the announce of a new block will come from pool 1 well before your home bitcoind notices the block.

know too much about the numbers do you? Smiley

Lack of research and making assumptions I suspect on his part.
