ads I hope my post was not thought to be negative in any way...I think it's awesome that you hit it that hard!

I'm just confused by the numbers because I suck at finding blocks (1+Ths for 4 months none found).  Like in your best share column it says 137M but the difficulty is way higher than that (I think that is what is prompting the alt-coin questions).

Hope your luck continues solo mining

hmm you don't know if ghash was down and that found block was from another pool that was alive while ghash.io was down (ie an altcoin)

Are you like...100% certain that it was you who found those blocks....a block every three days with 180Ghs is an insane amount of luck.

Interesting setup.  You're using p2pool locally with no connections to the network.  I'm assuming you've got bitcoind running on one machine and that's connected out to the internet, and p2pool running on another machine with no connectivity to the internet.  I've never seen it used this way, so I can't tell you explicitly whether or not you're properly solo mining.  Having written that, it certainly appears to be executing properly - the payouts look like a block reward, and the expected time to block of 12600 hours would seem to be pretty accurate for your 180GH/s.  You must have your very own share chain that is being created, with only your address having valid shares in it... the difficulty is silly low because the entire pool is 180GH/s.

Most people when they solo mine just point their miners to the bitcoind and have at it.  I like how you improvised and setup a p2pool network of 1

That is kind of like playing the lottery.  Your average time for that setup to find a block is a little more then a year at current difficulty.  You could find a block tomorrow or you might not find one ever.

P2P pool makes more sense for me. 

I followed a guide on here to mine solo with an S1, it works perfect for BTC but when trying to mine another sha coin (frc) it returns the following:

"Couldn't link returned work's merkle root with its handler. This should only happen if this process was recently restarted!"

what would cause it?

nets = dict(
    bitcoin=math.Object(
        PARENT=networks.nets['bitcoin'],
        SHARE_PERIOD=30, # seconds
        CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=200, # shares
        SPREAD=3, # blocks
        IDENTIFIER='fc70035c7a81bc6f'.decode('hex'),
        PREFIX='2472ef181efcd37b'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=9333,
        MIN_TARGET=0,
        MAX_TARGET=2**256//2**32 - 1,
        PERSIST=False,
        WORKER_PORT=9332,
        BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS=''.split(' '),
        ANNOUNCE_CHANNEL='#p2pool',
        VERSION_CHECK=lambda v: 50700 <= v < 60000 or 60010 <= v < 60100 or 60400 <= v,
        VERSION_WARNING=lambda v: 'Upgrade Bitcoin to >=0.8.5!' if v < 80500 else None,
    ),
)
for net_name, net in nets.iteritems():
    net.NAME = net_name

Strictly speaking, this can not be considered solo mining, another recent p2pool hashrate very low, so it seems worthwhile

Price is no longer 1BTC I match Bitmain price - When you order it will be dispatched within 24 hours tracking on same day delivery with 2 - 3 days max 5

Thanks

Yup.
