Odd thing. I have an S3+ solomining here for a while today, and I noticed that it has stopped hashing.

This is happening on 2 different Antminer S3+'s when I connect to the solo pool, but never when they are hashing on other non-solo pools.

Is this normal?

There were a couple of pool restarts just to pick up the latest ckpool code.

Anyone hit a Bitcoin yet? How can you tell if you hit one!?

Check your BTC address or look at the pools
https://blockchain.info/address/1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ

That only shows if they pay you. How do You know yourself you've hit a pool?
I think you might have your terminology a bit mixed up Smiley.  Your mining software will typically tell you the value of your best share.  If that value is greater than the current network difficulty, then you've found a block and you'll get the coins.  If you're running the Bitcoin Core locally, it will display a message on a transaction.  As was mentioned, blockchain explorer will show you activity for any wallet/transaction/etc you want to view.

Basically, if you're found a block solo mining you're going to see an extra ~25BTC in your wallet.  If you've found a block while mining on a "regular" pool, unless the pool specifically pays you a bonus for doing so, it doesn't matter that you found the block or not except for knowing that it was one of your miners that did.

Ohh, so it's totally automatic. C00lio. *LOL haven't used that term since High School*.

Sorry this was meant to be in other thread i guess, i am NOT solo mining, just a part of ckpool.
If you're a part of ckpool, you're solo mining.

Decrease in hashrate around 2000TH. somebody left the pool? previously it was 7000th, later 4000TH+ now 2000TH+  Sad
Total hash rate of the pool is completely irrelevant... you are solo mining.  The only hash rate that matters is your own.

Current hashrate for this pool is:
{"hashrate1m": "411T", "hashrate5m": "406T", "hashrate15m": "355T", "hashrate1hr": "339T", "hashrate6hr": "399T", "hashrate1d": "459T", "hashrate7d": "509T"}

Looking for advertising deal
Potential DDoS attack immanent according to Bitmain, this surely is a bonus for the solo pools, Bitmain goes down less AntPool blocks 😊

Mining doesn't work that way, if other pool is down that doesnt't mean that you will find more blocks.
Difficulty doesn't change, therefore your chance to find a block also stays the same.

Question before I fire up an S3 for this:

When I mine solo on this pool, and shut the miner on and off , so it's not running 24/7, when it gets turned back on, does it start a new block from scratch, or continue where she left off?

There is no notion of progress/starting from scratch in finding a block.  Each hash your hardware finds has an equal chance of meeting or exceeding the current difficulty.

Cool. Thank you.
