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...

rent hash cheaper then the odds all other systems are simply gambling.

123.1 th should earn 1 btc in a day hitting ck's pool would give you about 25 coins

you need to rent 123.1 th for less the 1 btc for 24 hours.

so as long as your price is under .0076 the odds are in your favor you are not gambling you are making an investment. Which if done over and over and over should make a profit.

So my system is determine the correct price to pay.

We can debate this forever and I was thinking like you before but i'm telling you, the "pattern" or previous "experience" has no effect/influence/pattern on the next hash you'll calculate (either you find a block or not).

It's simply random and you cannot predict the future.

It really is. We had run a group solo mining. It was like 3 different tries until on the fourth we had 2 blocks at the very end of our rental. It is random, and you never know what you'll expect.

I run at that speed only a few minutes, like 20 to 30 mins. I hit both my blocks within the first few minutes of beginning mining. If I dont hit it within an hour, I stop and try again the next day. If you're hot you'll hit it. If you're not, mining all day wont help. So, if you hit a block, keep mining - you might get a second one.

Its the same principals in gambling. Randomness hits in streaks. Even when flipping a coin many times you will see streaks of one side then the other. Like in Vegas, I cant tell you how many times I've seen the roulette board all black or all red.

Just my observations...

Unfortunately that's wrong.
You can neither predict nor design when the next block will be found.
They are as random as the sha256 hash is random.

Thinking you can beat randomness is part of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

As I've read off post ain't the best shares just cosmetic, but shares is what really matters?

On a solo pool share count is cosmetic. You want a best share equal to or greater than current difficulty.

Yeah, shares and best share simply show how your hardware is running.
Getting a 2,000,000,000 diff share has no effect on when you might get a necessary (current) 62,253,982,449.760818+ diff share

I am seeing lower "bestshare" for the past few days. Seems like no matter how much hash I throw at it (~2PH) I cant get a best share over 900 million... even while blocks are being solved every minute.

Have you guys noticed its seems fairly common to hit 2 blocks close together or consecutive? is that truly random?

how long are you running at 2ph? Just minutes or hours?

Quick question,

My miner is set to my wallet address not including the .0 or .anything at the end

If I add another worker with the same wallet address and a .0 or .1 at the end. is this ok?

Thanks

They can be with or without a worker name, and multiple miners to the same (with or without) worker name simply adds to the numbers shown for the worker

The only reason I can tell for adding worker names is that, in the event you hit a block, you can track down which of your machines solved it. Of course you could also look at the miner status directly and figure it out, but if you have several machines the worker name makes it much easier.

Are there other reasons for worker names besides this?

Worker names would also help identify a problem miner/s easier, by keeping track of hash rate separately.

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
