Do you have someone who you trust who can also take care of the platform in case you are busy?
No, alas I trust no one. I've also paid up hosting costs for the pool hardware for another year. There have been enough block solves to cover the fees for now, so that even though the community offered to fund it, for the time being I'm still happy running it without funds. At some stage I may need to revisit the hardware being used as we've moved a couple of generations of performance since I started the current iteration of the pool and it may benefit from faster hardware with more storage now. |

Sorry about that. The bitcoin daemon finally lost its shit and the pool went down since the bitcoin daemon stopped responding. I've restarted the pool. I will have to look at updating the bitcoin daemon at some stage in the near future, along with updating ckpool to work with it, but for the time being nothing has changed.

I've setup a NERD MINER v2. My hashrate is 20KH/s... Yea I know, I'm just messing around. Long time miner so I'm just asking is there a minimum hashrate for my stats to show up on the pool? I've been online for 17 hours. I've tried... https://solo.ckpool.org/workers/<my wallet> and http://solo.ckpool.org/users/<my wallet> There is no minimum, but the difficulty is set to 10,000 which would take a few days for you just to find one share. If your toy supports the --suggest-diff command, set it to 1 and it will happen sooner. I'd prefer if you didn't mine with it except for playing for a short while though; you are not really doing anything useful and are using almost as much of the pool resources as the biggest miners. I won't stop you, but I will discourage you from trying. |

I downloaded CrazyGuy's custom Antrouter R1-BTC software to be able to use my Antrouter on this solo pool. However, I am not getting any accepted shares. Any idea what could be wrong?
If your hashrate is ridiculously low, the pool won't report anything for ages. Don't try to mine diamonds with toothpicks, folks. |

noticed that port 4334 diff is 1m while only 500k required by nicehash.. any possibility if port diff drop to 500k can raise catching block chances?
It doesn't work that way. |

does any body know the tx fees i will get for mining 24 hours using 1 EH/s on this pool if I hit a block how much am gonna get along with it in miner fees
It varies block to block so it's impossible to predict. |

As I said earlier, the only logical way is to pay for total shares rather than a hashrate.

Okay, it was fun, but please don't turn this thread into your personal blog. Stick to discussion related to this solo pool.

Lets get back to math!
what are the chances of finding a block (or more-how many?) using 1.00 EH/s for 24 hours?
what are the chances of finding a block (or more-how many?) using 2.00 EH/s for 12 hours?
Which is better to consider if both are the same cost?
See solochance.com Makes no difference if both are run within the same difficulty period; only how long you wish to watch your statistics. thanks for creating all these tools very helpful do you know any better place than nicehash and miningregrental? I already started renting from users here but I need big hash amounts I did not create solochance. No idea where else, sorry; most big farms mine for themselves. |

been few hours and didn't get any block yet:   Haha.  |

this is part of a new business model for me I am renting 510 th to
CryptoHFs
Should have it stable later today.
The fairest deal is for him to pay for a fixed number of hashes rather than a hashrate then if it's not entirely stable or up to full speed. |

There seem to be quite a few newcomers to solo mining thanks to the recent spate of blocks found here, who don't quite understand some things so I'll try to make it clear:
Solo mining is gambling.
Unless you personally own at least 700PH with some kind of depreciation/deprecation plan, the vast majority of miners will lose money mining solo. (This estimate of required hashrate will go up as bitcoin difficulty rises.)
Renting hash long term and mining solo will never make a profit, as the rented hashes will end up costing you more than any rewards you make.
700 PH on nicehash roughly costs $52,500 per day how much does it cost on average for miners? No idea, and wildly variable depending on access, infrastructure, and electricity costs. They also have a depreciation plan for selling them off when the next generation of more efficient mining hardware comes around and invest in that. |

Using the cost of a cup of coffee in your hand and the 24-hour lottery draw, waking up one day and suddenly becoming a rich life is also a good story (only if the cost of the cup will increase in the future and the computing power T value will really decrease over time)  There's a huge difference between running a cheap lottery year round, versus dumping $50K daily in the hope of poor double or nothing odds. |

to mine through nicehash using this solo pool what level of nicehash kyc needed 2 or 3? do we need the latest tier that contains ( - EasyMining reward claim (Catch the Block)) or this doesn't refer to withdraw this solo mining profits?
this solo pool sends the profits to my own personal wallet or will send it to nicehash if I use nicehash mining power?
You don't need to KYC yourself, I have not tried super large amounts but I guess at some point if you go too big you are going to have to go through a KYC of some sort, other than that, you should be good to go. This pool will send the payout to whichever BTC address you set in the worker field when entering your pool details on nicehash, nothing goes to your nicehash wallet. can someone post a filled screenshot of " Add new pool " on nicehash settings
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org
Don't type the whole URL, this is what's giving you the error, Nicehash already has the initial part of "stratum+tcp://", all you need is there's one error is it fine? Pool host solo.ckpool.org resolved to IP 51.81.56.15... OK Connecting to Stratum proxy for region: EUROPE... OK Selected mining algorithm: SHA256AsicBoost... OK Sending mining subscribe request... OK Sending login information... OK Unknown message... ErrorPool host solo.ckpool.org Pool port 443 Pool user ****** Pool pass x Algorithm SHA256AsicBoost Port should be 4334 |

If bestever will retain the best value, then when each miner pulls from a small computing power to a large computing power, and hits the bestshare of the block to return to 0 and restarts, Then everyone will draw lots from the best interval, or return all to 0, I don’t quite understand the meaning and definition of the so-called best number  It's just a number, and totally meaningless apart from for your own interest, and has no effect on your chance of finding a subsequent block whatsoever. |
