`cgminer` says my difficulty with P2Pool is 715 and 746 for my two identical miners, respectively. Mining with Eligius, my difficulty seems to be in increments of powers of two (either 512 or 1024 for my miners). It thus seems P2Pool allows a much finer resolution on the local miners' difficulties. Why is this?
There's nothing "fine" about it. It's a coding decision to set the share submission rate closer to 60 than 20 (like regular pools use), and p2pool's diff is meaningless apart from providing you with an estimated hashrate. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=274023.0 |

I cannot redirect my miners from stratum-proxy to solo.ckpool
No idea what you mean as there's very little information here about your problem. |

I have a question. Are we all working at the same time on the same blocks? Or is it different all the time for every worker? for example if I have 10 minors under one worker and I rent a large miner it then ends, will it continue on the same block or will it all everyone has a different clock to work on. Also if somebody has a very small miner does it chances are way lower than something that they have 10 times that? Or is it just pure luck?
Everyone mines their own random data on the same network block as everyone else and there is no such thing as "progress" in mining. Your chance of finding a block is purely proportional to your hashrate at the time. What you mined before, and what everyone else is mining, has absolutely no effect on your chance of finding one. |

I would guess that this probably has something to do with why one of the BFL threads was recently apparently locked.
No that was sheer coincidence as I locked it without knowing theymos was facing this. |

Statistically, 650TH should hit a solo block in 3.78days or sooner with luck (Like in this case), right?
Indeed, but (s)he hit 2 blocks in less than 2 days. |

Why is it more diff to get a solo block with such high rented TH?
It is no harder or easier. That's the network difficulty. |

Congratulations to 1EMV3c5h7zeALZxE4VaGfCoV7VNDcUKNUk ! Definitely a lucky streak for them to get that many blocks with that many hashes.

It's also worth noting that unlike pools that occasionally mine blocks with no transactions included to work around their inefficient code, ckpool code never does this as it's bad for bitcoin and we don't need the workaround. This last block solved included a huge 888kb transaction list, and the reward consequently had an extra 0.24116096 BTC in transaction fees.

But isn't that part of the mined block? They can't fudge around with that once it's mined…
Do you deconstruct the data sent to your mining hardware to know what you're mining? I don't understand what or why you're asking this. Because that's the only way you'd be able to confirm that it's actually part of the mined block before it's mined. There is also nothing that stops them putting less than you deserve into the blocks you are mining while you are mining them. You'd have to audit the pool hashrate somehow accurately and track each and every payout no differently to any other payout scheme. |

[...] Sure [...] Well, you could at least put up a link in the thread you locked pointing people towards the new thread in the service discussion topic... Aye, good call. Done. |

Are pools in which the miners are paid via the generation transaction (e.g., Eligius, puddinpop) immune to fraud?
Not in the slightest, no. How could the manager of a non-P2Pool that pays its miners via the generation transaction claim some or all of a freshly-minted coin? By not including your quota in the generation.. But isn't that part of the mined block?

No. Stratum doesn't include enough information for miners to submit a block to bitcoind themselves.

New user with only one post posts a mining pool? A pool needs to be run by a reputable person who knows what they're doing and are already well known and respected in the community. Your post doesn't even remotely make sense with contradictory links, different payout schemes, a mangled post copying bits and pieces from other pools' announcements... No one in their right mind should trust their hashes to you.

Modz = Godz, and they love BFL so much, we won't get an explanation for this excessive turn of events.  Sure you will. What a crock of shit!!! Gleb does what Bruno does,you mods know how he is....& you mods ban him for 5 days...no warning,just an outright ban & lock the thread You mean like this? Just wanted to let you guys know that a mod was kind enough to let me know that I was in trollin' territory and that I should chill, in which I thanked him for givin' me the heads up.
And mods don't ban, admins do, all we need to do is point admins at behaviour and let them decide. Please don't insinuate I'm trying to protect bfl in any fucking way. I left the thread in hardware for much longer than it deserved to be there because it had started before I became a mod and people were looking for that thread there even though it didn't belong, in the hope it was somehow useful. A few times I posted on that thread to try and get people back onto meaningful discourse but it kept getting derailed. I didn't delete any of the last few posts as it was an unsalvageable mess. Take a look at it for yourself and try and convince yourself it was in any way a mining hardware thread. |

Are you sure you want to do Solo Mining? Why don't you just mining in a Pool? It will be more effective I think.
A cpu is too insignificant to mine anything in a pool. Better to gamble and mine solo. But, which one will be more profitable? Pool or Solo? Neither. Both will return zero. You'll never find a block solo, and no pool would ever pay out the one share you'd find every hour at that hashrate as the denomination would be too small to pay out even after a year. |
