Title: Lottery Mining on Legacy bitcoind Post by: dipsi on October 19, 2021, 06:06:07 PM Hello!
I am lottery solo mining with an old asic miner on bitcoin-0.19.1 as I believe this is the last version that allows solo mining. Am I still viably solo mining (albeit with extremely little chance to win, sure) even though I am on an older bitcoin version? Thanks in advance for any help Title: Re: Lottery Mining on Legacy bitcoind Post by: kano on October 19, 2021, 07:53:44 PM Chance - yes.
Probable - no. Also there's the issue mentioned here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5357374.msg57823188#msg57823188 Title: Re: Lottery Mining on Legacy bitcoind Post by: mikeywith on October 19, 2021, 09:17:54 PM I am lottery solo mining with an old asic miner on bitcoin-0.19.1 as I believe this is the last version that allows solo mining.

No major upgrades since the 19.1 version you have, I don't think using an older Bitcoin core version will affect your mining operations, although the other obvious things such as sustained and reliable connectivity and availability might do, you could use a solo pool and pay a small fee, cksolo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237323.0) has a 2% fee, Viabtc charges 1%, a few other pools offer the same service, which is a lot safer than mining to your own node. |
