Title: Are there any pools out there I could join to basically solo mine that pay 100%?
Post by: truckinusa on May 31, 2016, 04:02:25 AM
I believe I am getting a S5 tomorrow off my hashnest redemption.  I'm wanting to mine somewhere where I get 100% if I find a block or maybe team up with someone that is doing the same thing and maybe get 50%?

While ck's pool is 24.750 of the 25 coins he also give you the fees earned

So,when you hit that block you get just over or just under 25 coins.

You also get to use his servers to solo mine.

Much cheaper and faster then self solo mining.

I hit 3 blocks on ck's pool he pays fast .  Direct to your btc addy you provide.


Ck did I get the fee correct?

Yes. For now it's 1% fee, and since transaction fees are almost always over 1% now, and I always mine full blocks, you're virtually guaranteed of 25BTC or more if you find a block.

I guess 1% isn't bad. Does that even pay server costs?  I figured someone had a server that was free.

I run it on very good hardware so no it's not free. Most block finders are very happy and become generous donators though and often the donations are much more than the block solve fee of the pool.

EDIT: Here's an example of a block solo just solved:

I think I tipped about .5 btc for the three blocks I hit.
