Title: Question about solo mining with Phoenix Post by: maciekish on May 26, 2011, 03:29:36 AM So, when running phoenix against bitcoinpool.com, it would show something like
Code: [xxx Mhash/sec [23 Accepted] [1 Rejected] [RPC (+LP)] However if i run the same phoenix command against my local bitcoin.exe -server, i get the following output instead Code: [xxx Mhash/sec [0 Accepted] [0 Rejected] [RPC] Is that normal? Is everything working like it should? I do have all the blocks (126000+) When do i know if i solved a block? Any way to see progress to that or "it just happens"? Thank you for your time!

The standard node client isn't impressed unless you've got a valid hash that meets the current difficulty target. For most people, this will be never. The pools, however, accept hashes that only meet a much easier target, so that they can allocate shares to the miners.

If they meet the needed criteria they get inserted in the database as a valid share(bit might not meet the target).The standard node client isn't impressed unless you've got a valid hash that meets the current difficulty target.

The pool does shares, and I'm pretty sure the right word for that process is allocation. |
