Hi Guys i am getting 10K 13K Diff is it possible to get Higher or it doesn’t matter.
Doesn't matter. |

Bestshare resets when a block is found by anyone on the pool. Bestever never resets.

Rookie question.
What happens if the miner is interrupted? Does it literally start from scratch again or are previously submitted shares still valid?
Makes no difference. There is no such thing as "progress" in mining, and previously submitted shares here on solo ckpool aren't worth anything either. |

First time poster after lurking after your BTC Magazine article. And that's why I'm here. In that interview (talking about the multiple solo miners who've recently earned their BTC) you say ..."People believe that you need a powerful enough ASIC to actually solve a block, and that’s not true... but even the smallest miner can solve it.”
Now you're saying 'get an ASIC'. I'm actually going to get one of the new Mac Studios (very favorable terms thru connections) - already have a MBP for Xcode, was going to set it up and solo mine, knowing the odds, but just for the exercise of getting the Linux on, inst your software, and let it crank away. In some ways I'll be helping the fruit company tax their new rig, see what it can do. Am I taking your answer to the previous poster out of context? Thx in adv.
Longtime tech guy - FORTRAN - so respect what you've done.
I said you can, I never said you should, and the article is a significantly summarised version of the whole interview, as mining is far more nuanced than that. You can mine by hand with pen and paper too, but you shouldn't do that either. A realistic minimum would be a USB stick miner. Less than that the odds are beyond astronomically low and the energy waste is enormous. Additionally the mechanism of mining with something other than an ASIC is so different that it doesn't really teach you about modern mining. |

Hello all, new Solo Miner here testing my luck on solo.ckpool with some CompacF's I was able to snag a few weeks ago. I had a couple newbie questions/clarifications for you guys if you dont mind...
- I came across a post that mentioned cgminer may not support BECH addresses for solo mining, only p2pkh addreses, is this still the case? (I am currently using my "bc1" BECH address)
- Also want to confirm the - p (password) to be entered can be any random generated password and there is no need to enter this password in the cgminer backend?
- If I wanted to occasionally rent some hash I would use the same pool address (cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u xxx.0 -p xxx) with possibly a different "xxx.worker" name ?
Thank you all, I really appreciate it!
bech32 addresses are supported, bech32 m (AKA taproot) are not. |

Pool's humming along finely as far as I can see. Almost certainly a routing problem from your area to the pool.

Hi, ck hero,
Please allow me to ask you a question?
In your solo pool, there may be some extreme fast solo miner running in front of pool with new block header, can it cause slow miners to run on the same local work (block headers generated locally in cgminer) which have already been hashed out by those fast miners?
Is the coinbase data the same for all solo miners in your pool?
No |

Hello,
How to configure CG Miner on Ubuntu to mine without ASIC, simply from a PC that has a single CG 3070 ?
I did not find the solution
If we don't have ASIC :
[2022-02-18 11:43:32] No devices detected!
[2022-02-18 11:43:32] Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
Best regards
Get an ASIC. You can't meaningfully mine bitcoin with a GPU, and I removed the code to do so from cgminer almost a decade ago. |

Are there multiple servers to point miners to? I only see the one on the 1st page. I did see on a separate website these were listed but I am not sure if these are valid. Can someone confirm?
Asia
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:443
Europe
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:443
Alternative servers:
solo.ckpool.org:4334
solo.ckpool.org:3335
There is only one pool. The de pool was dropped many years ago, the official documentation is only at the website, and not from some other random places. |

Actually this is happening right now. Someone takes all hash power from all regions at NH with price 0.01 BTC / PH. Typical price is slightly above 0,005. Total hash rate is about 450PH now. I'm curious where is it pointed to. It must be another solo pool? I don't understand this. It makes no sense to me (to overpay that much). If anyone has any thoughts on this, please comment  People just get carried away in the spur of the moment. Nothing more I'm afraid. |

5PH so a solo pool.  I wonder what's the most PH in this pool from a single user. I think the group buy was doing 20PH Wondering here too, at least what the maximum speed is that the pool can support in total, for example, if a 100PH connected to it would it be a problem? It could probably handle all 200EH of the current bitcoin mining network if you could find it. Last big rental was 500PH. |

I'm staying right with you CK must be loving seeing all this hashrate on the pool!
It's really something else... Good luck! |

Quick question CK. Why do rentals show shares like this with lots of zeros at the end I noticed most rentals I do have this but when I rent single miners or put some of my own on they show the shares as full numbers? Rental Example "hashrate1m": "0",
"hashrate5m": "0",
"hashrate1hr": "0",
"hashrate1d": "1.35T",
"hashrate7d": "42.4T",
"lastshare": 1643974944,
"shares": 14695000000,
"bestshare": 19554100453.00714,
"bestever": 19554100453
Non-rental "hashrate1m": "0",
"hashrate5m": "0",
"hashrate1hr": "108M",
"hashrate1d": "3.45T",
"hashrate7d": "1.75T",
"lastshare": 1644465743,
"shares": 312323777,
"bestshare": 650426091891.621,
"bestever": 650426091891
Because the share count is a multiple of the share difficulty, and rentals are using shares on a port with a minimum difficulty of 1 million, so they'll always be a multiple of 1 million. The other port doesn't have a lower limit. |

So has anyone tried running their asic on solo ck pool for a full year?
Quite a few people have been mining here for years on end. |

you are very pessimistic. I think people will stay. And for my part I would stay even 5 years if necessary, even if I do not solve any block. At least I would have participated in decentralized bitcoin mining. This reason alone is worth all the gold in the world.  Thanks, but I've been in this mining game for 11 years. I'm a realist, not a pessimist, but appreciate your sentiment greatly. |

The hashrate of the pool its now at 854.91ph/s https://btc.com/stats/pool/Solo%20CKImagine for a moment that we could reverse the trend and that more and more miners would join us. And that the norm becomes solo mining. No it's not. The pool predicted hashrate from block explorers is based on average block solve frequency - if a pool has a period of luck, its hashrate appears higher. In this case solo's luck has been very good for the last 5 blocks so it grossly exaggerated there. The correct current pool hashrate is what you see on the pool itself, and is around 30PH, which is still a lot higher than it's been for the last few years as a result of the recent publicity. It's impossible to know if this hashrate will be maintained, but it's my guess the next unlucky block will have many miners leaving when they don't get any rewards, and the hashrate will slowly peter out back to its original ~5PH baseline. |

Hi guys,
What do you think, what is more efficient in solo, one 14TH asic or three asics with 4TH? Who is understand how it works?
"Efficient" is a word implying hashrate for power usage, but you are not listing power usage. If you are talking about your chance of finding a block, only the total hashrate matters. 14TH is more likely to find a block than 12TH. |

man - what does that make this year? 5 or 6?
5 in short succession, all very lucky blocks. It can't continue indefinitely. |
