He's got the numbers you always need
Hopefully we crack more blocks, this difficulty is going insane now. The network has almost doubled since November.

And we are looking at a difficulty increase to roughly 111B now.

Dec 31 2015   103,880,340,815   11.16%   743,604,444 GH/s
Nov 11 2015   65,848,255,180   5.77%   471,360,171 GH/s

Don't worry, we will find again a Block for shure!
Diff 

Now with the shiny new Server there has to come one...

@philipma 1957: you are so realistic, i love that!

We had a good run before DIFF went up!!!

well that is about 1/800 of the whole network   so every 800 blocks should be solo  which is every 5.5 days.

our little stick pool is about 1/100 of  this so our chance  is about 1 block every 550 days.

I just chucked on a 5TH rental for 8 hours while I'm at work and also have 1 of my U3's going along with it, Hope I get lucky.... Come on Bitcoin Gods

Thanks. I've considered this numerous times but there's something quite nice and personal with the user chosen donations once a block is found that feels quite rare in today's bitcoin mining world and I'd almost hate to give that up.

The new server has been provisioned, deployed and you have all seamlessly been moved to it. I doubt any of you would have noticed anything unless you were watching your cgminer console at the time. Rental services should once again work fine on the regular 3333 port, although 3334 will still work to save you the trouble of changing your configurations Should a ddos happen again in the future that fails to protect the main server, I will only deploy a front end redirector then. The only substantial difference now is the server has moved from LA to Dallas. DE will shortly be tweaked too so that all ports work unless it experiences a DDoS (though it's not getting a server upgrade).

EDIT: De done too

I don't think you realise how wise those words really are ...

I did right before Christmas...  bestever": 101319884876  With 50T

So I already mentioned that I have never, but has anyone else here pulled anything close to a 100b share? This new diff is a heart-stopper.

Bwahahahaha!

You'd be better off buying a lucky bitcoin from someone. At least then you'd have a bitcoin

I know a gypsy, perhaps I should buy a lucky rock from her....

Because diff + luck

Why so few blocks lately? Has the recent difficulty increases really made this much difference?

I notice there's 935TH mining at the moment.

I had also problems with new miners connecting to de server 3333. I was thinking that the DDoS has some ip from my internet provider so I switched to hk. hk 443 works fine for me, for testing only.

answer for 1+2  
power on = you can win  
power off = you can't win

answer for 3 is complex   so here is one way go to the bitcoinwisdom

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty  punch in your hash power and look at the daily number of btc earned say it is   5 th  which right now gives you 0.02421 btc in a day

so 25 btc divide by  0.02421 = 1032 to 1 to hit a block in a day  this is a close estimate not perfect.

4) This is all or nothing baby!

6) yes but we don't do it and won't do it.

de pool front end needed a kick in the arse. Miners already connected to it were still mining fine. I haven't finished provisioning the solo server yet.

I'm not the expert here, but I can answer these. (1) Of course. If you're not mining, you're not mining...; (2) you won't find anything; refer to answer no. 1; (3) Why?; (4) This is a pool, but it is strictly solo mining. You only get paid if YOU find the block, and; (6) Nope. BTC only.

Actually, the solo.ckpool.org site gives answers as well.

I'm sensing that you have (like me) spent a fair amount of time on Slush's Pool, which is a great resource for newer folks as its dashboard and frontend are very user-friendly and provide good stats for the payout system they use. It's my failover at the present. In Slush, your scoring hash rate is somehow tied to how consistent ("loyal") you are, ie., how much time you're spending connected and mining...I run about 2Th/s at the moment, and it takes sometimes 2-3 hours to achieve "normal" scoring hash rate after being down for any length of time at all.

Kano's pool ROI is different; you get paid your comparative share, but it is not held in abeyance for some sort of threshold. It's sent manually as soon as the required confirmations are complete. Again, he's got a good explanation on it at www.kano.is (ie., ckpool). When I finish my self-imposed solo mining expedition on the 8th, I'll be going to Kano I believe.

Dunno if that's helpful.

Oh...short postscript...I never waste energy actually computing "chance." You're either lucky, or you're not...
