I thought a RpI2 could ru it with easy. No?

I was thinking of setting up a few at various locations .

It will, but the block chain size is getting to be the problem with running it on a Pi (it takes a 64GB SD card to run it now or it did).

Sooner or later, it's going to take a 128 GB SD to run, or a USB HD on the Pi. And I don't know how much lag time USB HD would have on a node.

same.

I even tried storing the blockchain on a USB HDD and it still wouldn't stay running.

People out thetre have a way to turn one into just a transaction verifying node (no --generate command I believe);

But that doesnt solve my problem of needing a fallback if CK goes/shuts down =)

nicehash has a solo pool that runs almost the same code..
https://solo.nicehash.com/

if you want a backup its something to consider.

If a RasPi could reliably run as a full node... I would have been doing that at a remote site.

Before 21co took over bitnodes, bitnodes offered a stand-alone node with a SSD drive for storing the block chain. When 21co took over, this became their "bitcoin computer", I think the SSD drive (and therefore full node capability) went away at that time.

(old address for device: http://getaddr.bitnodes.io/hardware/ now redirects to 21co bitcoin computer)

Everyone is working on unique work on all pools - even changing just 1 bit in the work template gives completely different results to every miner. The difference on other pools is they are all trying to generate a block to the same generation address(es). With this pool, every unique bitcoin address has its own generation address as part of the block it's trying to solve. This "pool" is in a sense only pooled miners on one node, but each unique miner is mining their own unique coinbase generation transaction. The result is the same as true solo mining to your own bitcoind locally - however you are now trusting your hashrate to my node to handle your workload which means you have the element of trust involved in the pool operator (i.e. me) that you are truly working on what you think you are working on (though that happens with every pool) so it's not in the strictest sense true solo distributed mining. But you get the bonus of the ultra low latency high performance node at an extremely low fee for the service.

Exactly the answer I seek =)

I thought it would work this way. I think it would be very convoluted if it worked the other way.

I am very happy to not have to run a bitcoinD service on my cellular connection. The miners are fine. barely much traffic. But; just running a node... man. GB of data. =) Yeah; I mine from T-mobile!

You do provide a great service for that. If a RasPi could reliably run as a full node... I would have been doing that at a remote site. but; so far; I am happy with what I found here! (and over trying to get other stuff to work right 24/7)

CK; am I correct in assuming that each user (bitcoin address mined to) is solving for a hash for a block with a transaction to themselves?

In another way of asking, if another guy is mining, does the block seed hash change because of his bitcoin address compared to mine? or is the winning hash just the "stamp" or "seal"" and the pool server writes the transaction based on who the winning hash came from?

Are we truly "Solo" mining, or is it more "pooled"....

I have always been curious on this "mechanic" of solo pools.

You're welcome and good luck

. Today I fired up a lone S5 (1.1TH) with a Corsair AX860 platinum psu to solo mine for the winter here in the UK to keep the chill off my office. No real chance of finding a block but the way I look at it is that its a £2 a day heater / lottery ticket Cheesy

.

P.S. I changed the fan so its reasonably quiet, wouldn't get any work done with the stock fan all that would do is give me a headache.

good luck to you.

I rent miners sometimes form nicehash Web site. Which diff setting i must use good performance ckpool site solo mining?

none it auto adjusts.

I hit 2 blocks in 2 hours on nicehash pointed to solo here no diff needed.

Thanks.

So i only wrote x in Password area. I do not write d=1024 etc.

Just x is good for the password, the pool will automatically adjust the diff

@philipma1957 @hedgy73

thank you very much for information. i will try solo mining 1 month about 100 TH/s.

While I agree that the mathematical probability of each event is independent, I also believe there is more going on than just pure random numbers. If you are consistently getting low best share numbers over a period of time, it is logical to predict that it is unlikely to have a sudden best share of over 64 billion.

My best share climbed to about 30 billion just before solving the block. I'm not saying its always like this, I just look for patterns, anything to help know when it is more likely to happen.

Just my opinion, and what works for me. I'm interested to know what "system" if any, others use...

There is no system, it's a common flaw most people make with statistics - ignoring something called sample vs population.
Statistics has a whole analysis of exactly that - what sample size is required to give an expected accuracy of predicting the population.

If someone sees a small sample that has their desired result, most will incorrectly assume that effect to be more apparent than it is.

The simplest and most obvious example of the expected result is to look at the pools that have mined hundreds or thousands of blocks.
Look at their long term block finding 'luck' (ignore Eligius - their pool management and code suck)
If there was some magic way to get more blocks, no doubt some pools would be finding more blocks than expected.
Instead, of course, pools that have mined many blocks are averaging close to the expected 100% luck.
