Pools closer to where your miners are located will lead to less rejected shares, less wasted work, and lower chance of orphaned blocks.

Hmmm... maybe I should first get my money back from what I spent on these miners, then start to “gamble” on solo pools? What would you do?
The solo pool is my pool, so what do you think I'd like you to do? Then again if you don't want to mine solo I'd also tell you to mine at my other pool, cpool.org . |

I have 10 antminer S9’s (They hit like 150Th/s). Should I mine at a solo pool or regular pools?
Only you can answer that. Do you want a small steady income that may or may not even pay off how much you spent on your antminers and electricity or do you want to throw everything into a gamble that you earn far far more by solving a block or nothing at all if you don't. |

It's rare for a new member to become staff. Congratulations.
I can see that you guys are doing a lot of work in this section, it's starting to look much better and cleaner.
Thanks. In fact there was always a lot of work going into this section. The thing is I rarely left a redirection notice when I moved topics all over the place so it was completely transparent to the forum members. The reason I didn't leave them is they pollute the page with nothing but redirection notices since there are far more redirected threads than legit forum topics. I only left redirection notices if the thread I was moving already had traction with a number of other people posting on them. Even then, after a few weeks I would go and delete the redirection notices too. |

I'm hoping someone has already encountered this and has a quick answer. Otherwise I'll do some digging this weekend. I have set up the ckpool on just a clean local server. If I'm reading the error correctly, it's the URL in the ckpool.conf file that's throwing the error when trying to bind to stratum port. I also haven't seen any info on increasing the rcvbufsiz. TIA.

Assuming you have the correct IP address and you're not trying to bind to a privileged port, usually that means something else is bound to the port already. The rcvbufsiz message tells you what you need to change in your linux config (sysctl.conf). If you're only going to be using ckpool locally it is not needed. |

Welcome. It never occurred to me that a crazy high BTC price would alter the dynamics of forum moderation, but it obviously has.
And it's not just people new to mining, the number of scams, trojans, referral spammers and trolls goes up too. Unlike other forum sections which do NOT moderate scams, I generally nuke anyone who posts obvious trojans and links to scam sites since I feel qualified to make that judgement here. The "legit" mining companies are big enough scams already, we don't need overt scammers in addition. |

This doesn't look like "software" for miners but a service... and unlikely to be anything but a scam but I'll let users decide for themselves.
|

99.99% of these are scams. The rest are just a waste of money.

Okay great, but I still don't understand what your question is. |

What do you mean "saying one was expected"? As far as I can see from your hashrate you are CPU or GPU mining. Only ASIC miners are welcome here, please don't do that. Read about mining here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0 |

I was using my nicehash BTC wallet address for the pool, do I lose all my work if I change to another wallet?
"accumulated": 5815992.817247814
"herp": 9019192.741226209
You don't lose it but it goes to another address which means you don't accumulate as much in one address. If you were below the payout threshold and abandon the address then it will never get paid anything. I highly recommend using one address as much as possible. Well... Here's to hoping nicehash comes back online. Hate to lose my work because of their misfortune. If not, I guess I'll just have a learning experience. The problem is that I can't start allowing people to change addresses unless they had a way to prove they owned those other addresses through signing from the original address. Remember the cardinal rule with bitcoin - unless you own the private keys to your address, you do not have control of your money. Always always use your own wallet where you are in control of your address. Time and time again any time there has been a hack, only those who have not used their own wallets were adversely affected a great deal. |

Not much surprises me in the bitcoin world, but holy shit!

Do rentals help? I just added 1.2 Petra for 4 hours to see if it can help our luck!
Hashrate is hashrate. Unless there's something malicious going on from the person you're renting the hashrate then every hash counts and increases our chances of finding a block. |

With the rise in price of bitcoin the number of newbies coming to the forums and mining section at large has gotten out of control and the demand on me as the only active moderator was becoming excessive. Welcome aboard frodocooper by my recommendation as a new moderator to help keep the mining section under control.  As a meta post about mining and not strictly about mining this post will be moved after a week or so. |

Congrats to 12iSvuwsDwUCFKpXnUmtFJNGPmMm2Yt6cS for solving another block
Hi, Ckolivas. I also wanted to ask you about this moment... there seem to be some trouble with the best share status, on the pool. I am seeing this for the second, or third time. Here is an example, You see, my best share is 46,704,108,526 But the pool is showing that the best share is 34,321,330,328   Yeah it's not resetting properly. I fixed the pool not resetting but that broke the users' resetting. |

With BitMinter, if my rig discovers a new block, do I receive half of it like Slushpool, or just a proportion of my work for the discovery? TIA!
That doesn't happen on slushpool either. |

Thank you sir. This will make it perfectly clear for me. I just want to make sure i understand.
is it my total pool lifetime hash or only current block total accumulated hashpower contributed divided by total pool hashpower toward block or lifetime?
or is it my current hashpower divided by current pool hashpower at time of block solving?
Your total over the last 5 blocks' worth divided by the pools' over the last 5 blocks worth. The fact we haven't gotten up to 5 blocks' worth means that it's whatever it's been till the start. |
