also someone who is starting out mining liking isn't going to begin with an asic but if you tell them to fuck off they likely won't use your pool when they do get an asic

wow ok then, your web page for solockpool still states that its suitable for my purposes so maybe you should change that if you really don't want people like me using it. I understand I'm playing the lottery and I'm ok with that, I would just like to see it working and continue learning. I have learned a bit as an introduction regardless and just because I'm only using a GPU now doesn't mean its not a learning experience. I'm still learning how to configure aren't I.
I'm probably not giving up just yet and I'm not sure what you're talking about in terms of resources but I assume the idea behind a pool would be to have as much work being done as possible. So if you're not going to help people like me maybe you should specify that.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it!
"Could be that, since you're mining at such a low hashrate, the share was already stale when you found it. Also see my remark at the end of this post"
Yea that makes sense. I know that I have very little computing power to the point where its not profitable but I'm kind of doing it as a lottery and to learn how to mine and maybe get an ASIC later.
I'm just using a laptop with a nvidia gtx 1050 4GB as a dedicated miner but I haven't heard the fans kick in at all nor has it warmed up hardly. I'd like to keep trying though and see if I can get some shares accepted.
How can I optimize the configuration, I basically just had the url my username and password and -I 9 but I started coming across things like thread concurrency and commands like this setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 but I don't know how to set the batch file up with those? Could you help me with that? I'll pay it forward if I continue mining.
Just stop doing it please as it has almost nothing in common with modern bitcoin mining so it doesn't even serve as a learning experience. You're wasting your time, power, and risking destroying your GPU, and non-asic miners aren't welcome here as you consume as many resources as a 1PH miner.

Hey CK, I'm using cgminer 3.7.2 with the gpu on my laptop but I just want to verify that its working and get some questions answered. Here is a screenshot https://imgur.com/a/Izw6B
1)Does this look right? It says I'm connected but my accepted shares is 0 and rejected is 8000. Is that ok, am I actually doing any work?
yes, you are connected and mining but not sure about the best share not being accepted by the pool since it is above the target of 4k. Could be that, since you're mining at such a low hashrate, the share was already stale when you found it. Also see my remark at the end of this post
2)And my average hash rate is 19.05Kh/s which means about 19,000 hashes per second is that correct?
yes
3)What about my best share, its been at 12.8k for over 12 hours now. In order to find a block the best share has to exceed the difficulty value which is 2.6T, so its very unlikely that my best share will ever do that but its technically possible right?
correct
4) How would I know if I found a block and what happens after that? What is the process like for getting the reward in my wallet and then cashing it out to an actual bank account?
You know when you see 12.5 btc appear in your wallet
5)Also when I did the configuration I put in my electrum wallet address as the user but is there supposed to be .0 or .1 after it?
only usefull if you have multiple machines mining so you can see the statistics per machine on the website
Thanks in advance, basically just want to verify that I'm actually mining and its working.

GPU mining btc is not feasible anymore. Theoretically it is possible to find a block with it but practically not. The big problem you are running into is probably working too long on the work given to you by the pool because of the slow hashrate so that it is outdated/stale by the time you find a share and send it back to the pool. I think you need at least one of the earliest asics, i.e. asicminer usb stick at 333 mHz, for it to work; still a very very very very low chance though.
If you're doing this for fun and to learn mining then fine but otherwise I would save your gpu and power.

I know it is a complete gamble mining here. But what is a good indicator to know when to bring some rental power on board or the block is getting close?
Theres is never a clue as to when to pump rentals here for next block, you just have to try your luck and pump all you can when you can and Lady Luck is on your side.
right now solo pool is at "diff": 112.0" which means we are expected but not gauranteed. nows a good time to pump a couple Ph

Ahhhhh....that explains it. I was under the impression that nh does strict Bitcoin hashing only.....Thanks!
February 02, 2018, 03:56:10 PM
Question: I run my 6 x S9s for 1 week straight on NiceHash ...[stuff]....
What you let users mine on nh could be anything from ACOIN to Bitcoin to Zetcoin and the "found blocks" could be any one of those; it's only something to value if you know what your rigs are mining (the likelihood that 6 S9s found 3 Bitcoin blocks in 1 week is infinitesimal). February 02, 2018, 03:26:09 PM
Question: I run my 6 x S9s for 1 week straight on NiceHash after which I check their miner status page 2 report 0 FoundBlocks found, 2 report 1 FoundBlock found, 1 reports 2 FoundBlocks found, and the last 1 reported 4 FoundBlocks found the highest BestShare on any of them was 4,410,709,657
So I figure I'm good to go and try solo.ckpool.org!!! I moved all 6 x S9s over to give it a honest effort and ran them for steady for 1 month their status pages all reported 0 FoundBlocks found after 1 month. The configs were good and solo.ckpool.org registered a steady +80TH/S for all 6 x S9 miners.
So, I flipped back to a shared pool and boom after 1 week miners reported a few blocks found here and there.
I understand its luck and difficulty is astronomical but, why do the miners report found blocks individually when on a shared pool but not when solo-ing???
If I missing something I would truly be grateful for some extended knowledge with this scenario.
Thanks All!

it's the date and time in utc of when the last share was found. Should change if yoiu refresh the stats page.
Cool, thanks. So these stats don't show current difficulty then. I need to do some research on how to figure out how close my shares are coming based on these stats. I know with one S9, I'm WAY WAY off, but just learning at this point. Thanks!

So.. does this look right? I think I'm hashing away! 
Please try and include stuff like that in code tags as I've done in your quote. Yep, looks good, good luck!Code:
{
"hashrate1m": "13.3T",
"hashrate5m": "13.5T",
"hashrate1hr": "7.46T",
"hashrate1d": "440G",
"hashrate7d": "63.8G",
"lastshare": 1517518697,
"workers": 2,
"shares": 9008586,
"bestshare": 8294237.55550756,
"bestever": 8294237,
"worker": [
{
"workername": "1PvVLNAcsWXk7gCZjUyH1cLpQXXYFKcFTQ",
"hashrate1m": "13.3T",
"hashrate5m": "13.5T",
"hashrate1hr": "7.46T",
"hashrate1d": "440G",
"hashrate7d": "63.8G",
"lastshare": 1517518697,
"shares": 9008586,
"bestshare": 8294237.55550756,
"bestever": 8294237
}
]
}Will do. Thanks!
Up above in the stats, what exactly is the "lastshare" value? I've noticed that it does not change much. Thanks!

I want to ask is possible to update s3 to latest version cgminer? is possible?
No. February 01, 2018, 05:27:12 PM
I was guess was high for very old s3 machine.
I only notice it in log as all others machines are much lower leading 0

Saw this in the log of the proxy. Is this a "close" share? I saw recent blocks are have 4 additional 0000?
I know is low Diff share.
But is that how block is found when hash has additional leading 0's?
The more leading 0's closer to block for that share alone?
I thought it is possible to find block at any Diff? no? - Luck?
