Topic: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved! - page 315. (Read 1514786 times)

Hmm, how is "jacobmayes94" related to this issue? As already said, there was a serious bug in ck's ckpool source code, which was unfortunately not discovered neither by ck's testing nor our testing (the bug was present in ck's solo pool as well as in our pool or any solo pool that was built on top of ckpool source code) - this bug was unfortunately hit by fredi. To explain what happened (simplified explanation): ckpool code was unable to handle generating found block to a multi-sig address (3xxx). When fredi was mining it was using multi-sig address and he was the first ever to find block when using mulit-sig address. When the block was found the ckpool code generated this block to a "random" Bitcoin address (ckpool converted the bitcoin address to hash160, and "inserted" that hash to coinbase tx).

That said: nobody (or actually someone random) has these 25 Bitcoins, therefore neither us nor ck- as the author of ckpool source code can't refund this. It's an unlucky event, but our solo pool service is free to use (only charge fee at block found event, the same as ck's solo pool) and we unfortunately can't guarantee for these kind of unlucky events. But as said, we addressed this issue immediately by refunding 100% of the costs that fredi had with renting hashing power (this refund came directly out of our pockets, since these 3+ Bitcoins were already paid to miners selling hashing power) to mine on solo pool and we also immediately worked with ck to solve this bug.

Wow!  

Thats a very nice guesture of solidarity!!!

@ philipma1957:

If you like to expand the solidary-mining-time, i step in with around 7,7 TH! (3 x SP20 @ around 950 GH/s + 1 x S7 @ around 4850 GH/s). For 48h after your OK!

If we hit a block i would like to get 4,5 Coins out of it (0,5 from that would be reserved to -ck for the nice Pool ... also some other donations are still pending    . If this is OK just reply, i'm online around 7h from know!

Nice fresh wind in the community by the look of things : ) ...

About Nicehash, where excatly is the Problem sending the Block / 25 BTC from "fredi" to an adress that is accesible Sorry! But that's just not legit!!! (or i get something wrong again???)

Best Wishes & Good Luck to all solo miners!

EDIT: Yes, i confused "jacobmayes94" with "fredi" ! Icorrected my Post! Sorry!

@ fredi

so 25-3 = 22 btc correct?

I am not a rich guy so I can't say here is 22 btc , but I feel for you.

 So I pointed this at ck's pool for 1 day  if it hits  I will split the block with you

@ nicehash  not telling you what to do but a 3btc refund is a bit lite.  You could have given him more for your error not his.

According to https://www.quora.com/How-many-bitcoins-can-a-basic-computer-produce-per-day an i5 cpu is making about 14 MH/s.
An U3 has 63 GH/s. It is 4000 times more powerfull that your i5. Think you will close your U3 for 10 minutes. You will need a month or so to recover this time with an i5 cpu.

Well good luck. Your computer will be burned out if you need to use it tho. And as many others have said, it is not recommended.

I am mining with an antminer at this pool ant a U3 and have bought a few more antminers to point at it I was going to ask,  I use the CPU miner on my laptop when I am out in the cold and fancy warming up my lap a bit, would LOL if it finds a  block but I use it as a lap heater : )

No. Do not mine with less than GH hashrates and not with CPU or GPU please for your own sake.

I think someone found a block with 285Ghs.

31Mhs?  Are you CPU mining or is that a very low end GPU. Either way your using allot of electricity and wear and tear on your machine.

Anyone knows the most luckiest here i mean who mined a block with very low hashrate..??
am trying my luck a 31 Mh/s . DO you think i can hit one , if yes then at how much time?

It was about 2 months ago since I hit the last block. I came close a couple weeks ago with my s4+ and was just shy with a 60G share.

@fredi, as we explained to you at the time of this event we are very sorry about this situation and refunded the lottery ticket to you. This was an issue with ckpool server code, we quickly notified @-ck about this issue and he addressed it promptly -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11621884 -> after this we applied the patch to our system as well ... We also looked at any options for getting those 25 lost bitcoins back, spoke with several people, but it really looks like there is unfortunately no option to retrieve them. Once again - sorry for this situation and don't let the current bad luck in you life beats you down.

Best regards,
NiceHash

No. I'm afraid not.

Dear @-ck
I find out the script in solo.nicehash is yours like solo.ckpool .
Few month ago i rent some hashrate and pointed to solo.nicehash but i use a wallet address started with 3.
I found a block but unfortunately pool do not accept addresses with 3 that time and create an address and sent fund to this address:
https://blockchain.info/address/1PN9XH9pPXtYHeupDAiFeFrkgXiwKZVUVe

Is there any way that i can access to my coins ?
Nicehash admin's refund to me ~3 btc because of that situation. but i spent more than that and lately i got realy bad luck in my life and this 25 btc would be really good help in this time.  so i came here and ask.
thanks.

I was watching that blocksolve last night, I am pointing an S3 and a U3 at ckpool, when I hit it will be awesome! I will do a small donation to ck when it hits : )

Jacob

Thx for  sharing,

How many days before you hit this block ?

Mine was rented hash from MRR, although I do have 10T of my own miners pointed here 24x7.

when I wrote the statement the current difficulty was 62 billion  I pulled a 2 billion share.  so 31 times 2 billion is 62 billion that is why I used 31 x 2 = winner or 62 billion

next part of the reasoning is if a 9gh stick can do 2 billion which is 1/31 of a winner number.

Then it follows the likely hood of 279gh pulling 62 billion is exactly the same likely hood of 9gh pulling 2 billion as 31 x 9 = 279.



I followed up by saying a 450gh s-3 pulled a block here.

What does all of the above mean ? Unlikely hits come in.  Or longshots come in.

Looks like 727 was renting some hash.

I wonder that last 2 block was from rental hashrate or not ?

X means they ain't workin. That's why you only have 188 ghs coming out. You should turn the miner off, wait 20 seconds, and then turn it back on.

And if it happens again, You may have to troubleshoot and find out what's causing your miner to gag chips.
