Sorry for being off topic.
Where does one go to find the Bitcoin price on a give day for tax purposes?

I'll be implementing unwanted events and access limitations in ckdb code today or tomorrow.
(that's what I've been working on over the last week or so)
Good to see improvements continually coming. Any progress on the single payment per 24 hour period? My payments are getting really small and having them grouped will be nice. Thanks, Sam |

Mining with CPU hasn't been viable for over five years and GPU hasn't been viable for going on three years.
ASIC mining hardware is now required to mine Bitcoin.
all good, i have many servers with very high specs, i am not talking for a 1 machine job. i have a bunch of servers. High end servers aren't going to have good AMD gaming GPU's, they typically have Intel GPU's which never were any good for Bitcoin mining. Even if they did that still wouldn't equate to one current Bitcoin Miner. So get an Avalon 6 or a Bitmain S7 and put in your data center. |

Bestshare will change only when is a new block found Best share will change when a higher diff share is found. It is reset on block find. Best ever is sticky through blocks. |

Is there any reason why when I browse any thread in the pools section of the forum except for this Kano pool thread my browser shows a green secure lock, verified, etc., but when I browse page 488 of this thread (and no other page) the security reports as unverified / yellow lock? It only happens with viewing this one page of this one thread. Strange.
Same here. Odd. Edit: BLOCK!!!!! Page 484 does the same thing. The yellow blob says maybe graphics aren't secured. |

The fee -ck has been charging was fine for an experimental pool on very low end hardware. The pool may still, technically, an experimental pool but has exceeded far beyond anyone's expectations.
So increasing the fee I think is just fine and required for the increased hardware and nodes. Yes one can solo mine with Bitcoin-QT, but lets be realistic, Bitcoin-qt's reliability has been faltering since the 9.x versions. I am currently running 11.2 and have it in my failover list's but it will spontaneously consume all RAM and max out the CPU. I have to change the affinity every boot up so that it only consumes one physical thread (Core).
So solo mining only to ones local Bitcoin-qt just isn't feasibly reliable anymore if you have a large mining hardware investment, which I don't by the way. So these and the previously mentioned reasons clearly show the value of this pool and more than ample justification for a fee increase.
Thank You -ck and Kano for your continuing and expanding contributions.

I recommend not using Coinbase in any regard and use another means of conducting your business with bitcoin. I can see this becoming a BIG mess. I now have to make sure I'm DEFINITELY organized. I can see a visit from the tax man very easily this year. If that happens, I will be on a mission to put an end to anyone doing business with Coinbase.
I doubt this is Coinbase's fault. They are a financial institution and there are very strict Federal regulations they have to adhere to. When you make a large deposit to your checking or savings the Bank will report it too. The transaction limit just smells like a government bureaucrat that probably can't even spell Bitcoin.  But please keep us apprised of the situation I would like to know what our liabilities are here in the US. Thanks. |

New solo miner. Read your instructions and have a question about the following statement:
"Proxy support: Miners with many devices wishing to consolidate their devices into a single connection to solo ckpool are recommended to use the complementary ckpool code as ckproxy stratum proxy (for linux)."
I have 7 miners.
Is there's any advantage to using the proxy support versus just setting all 7 miners to the same payout address?
In particular I'm wondering whether it makes the overall odds better due to some increase in processing efficiency or provides some other advantage.
Also, with regards to overall odds of one of my rigs solving a block, does it make any difference whether I use the same payout address for all 7 miners or whether I give them each a separate address?
All that really matters is your total hash rate. If you want to use 7 different workers and BTC addresses to help manage your systems that is fine. |

I only just now noticed that the pool reports new bestever share to the mining software in the live view. Nice touch. Thanks.

Nice contest !!! Thanks Kano and avalon, this will be fun. I do have a problem with this part though : "If for any month, the miner isn't won, it will continue into the following months until someone wins it." If we dont find a block for a month  Thanks for thanking both party's for their generosity. If the block finders are below 300Ghs or over 250Ths then it will carry over. No use giving an A6 to a largish mining farm. |

if I were to add my U3 (or any other miner for that fact), would i need to adjust the "suggest-diff" : value? I.E if i were to go up from the current ~7.2Gh/s to lets say 68Gh/s, how much would i need to increase from 5 or decrease from 5? Is there a formula? How proportional is suggest value in relation to 1K Diff? Sorry if it seems a dumb question but i would like to understand.
Also, can I “uncomment” or “comment out” lines in a the configuration file, in order to add my own notes and help me navigate around code? And if so, how is it done? Do i just drop the speech marks?
Thank you again.
I wouldn't bother with the suggest diff as it really doesn't matter. Your miner will find a few 1k diff shares eventually and adjust down automatically. And if it finds a share meeting or exceeding current difficulty you will have found a block anyway. To comment out a line in your .bat file just put a "rem" at the beginning. That means remark and you can put your explanation text after the rem. Edit: I don't know about the .conf or configuration file. I only use .bat or .cmd files and put all my commands in them and use the rem statement allot. |

Wonder where they get their data as Slush surely isn't 147PH either.
It's calculated strictly from the block find rate. Same as the total network hash rate. |

What no blocks in 10 hours ? Kappa  What? Something must be broken!  Come on now! Kano needs a break from calculating and sending payouts. I'm sure he has other things to do too, like sleep. |

Congrats on the pool growth, glad to see kano.is starting to get the hash it deserves.
So, does higher pool hash rate drives better overall revenues? And how? Well, uh, it's like this. The higher the hash rate more blocks are found more Bitcoins generated, and more Bitcoins distributed to us miners. functionally it's a little less Bitcoins per miner, but more often. so it balances out. You and Stonebone are, of course, more correct than my quip. |

Also whats the the point in setting difficulty from VARDIFF to your own ?
That sentence makes no sense to me. But variable difficulty has no bearing on solo mining. Pools set a higher difficulty for accepting shares to reduce bandwidth. If a pool set your miner difficultly to 1000 then that means approximately one share out of a thousand will exceed the 1k diff and the pool will pay that share as if it were 1000 diff 1 shares. |
|
|
|
Could some one explain to me what does the best share actually mean when you are solo mining.
That's the best share you have found so far. To find a block at current difficulty you need to meet or exceed 103,880,340,815. |

Afaik you have to restart bitcoind to get rid of the warning
OK - thanks - I didn't know that. Guess I'll just ignore it forever now. You can get Bitcoin-qt to run forever now?? I'm lucky to get a week out of mine. The last reliable one was .9.5 although .10.0 wasn't too bad. |

Hey guys new here. Have an S7 on the way (first week of January should be hopefully). Pretty excited to start hashing, just sold off my USB miners so a bit bored waiting for the S7 to come in. Have a lowly 3GH/s Avalon Nano running right now Well, get to mining! Merry Christmas. |
