Hi all,
I have been mining for the pool for 5+ years with a gekkoscience 150mhz (16Gh/s) with no luck, however I've got some free electricity to use on mining.
Which miner would be the best for solo mining hashrate/price wise.
I have seen some cheap used antminers on ebay/marketplace, however I am not sure which would be the best.
Could you please give me some advice?
Thanks.
I can't give you any tips about miners. But I'm curious and would like to know how and where you can get free electricity legally. It would interest me and probably others too. Can you provide more information about this? Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend citb0in I've got a house under refurbishment - so I dont live in it. It has 7kw solar installed on the roof generating electricity. Since the house is under refurbishment I've got at least 6-9months where I would just sell the leftover electricity (most of it) for the national grid (non-UK) for pennies. Instead of this, I rather buy a retired antminer or whatever is feasible and use the energy to try my luck  By the way you can get used panels and inverters for cheap and build an offgrid system to get electricity. Not sure about the country / city restriction in you home country so - cant go further with the advice. Hope it helps. |

Hello There,
I mine more for fun and to learn than to have a profit, as I know that my harsh rate is really small. However, I have been mining with CKPOOL for around 3 months in a row and I didn't receive a SINGLE payout.
I have 3 2PAC running around 250 mhz, I can see my miner statistics but it does not help!
Can someone please explain to me where the hell in those provided statistics I can have an Idea of any outstanding balance to be paid??
If it's not available on this, where can I check it? On other mining pools, it's easy to see this info... Almost moving out of CKpool ...

This is a solo pool, you only got paid if you find a block, if you want to get paid find a normal (not solo) pool. |

Quick one, Can i point the miner to a coinbase wallet address or I need some other sort of bitcoin wallet for mining?
In the other hand which wallet is the best on the market? (low rates, fees etc)?
Thanks.

Thanks. What would be the ideal number to add? You mentioned 40 which is fine as it isn't working with 4000, I am wondering how this number affects the whole mining activity. I am playing the lottery as well, with my gekkoscience 2pac ASIC miner. Sorry for the lame question I am new.
For a 2Pac, use 90 as the suggested diff. Ok, thats done set to 90 now. Could you please help me to understand what is this difficulty level, and how do we calculate them? Thanks. |

Awesome. Thanks for the explanation. That makes me feel better before I throw more miners to the pool.
I tried using cgminer, being ck's pool and whatnot, but I couldn't figure out the bat file. Eventually I gave up and tried bfg and it worked. This stuff ain't easy for those of us who aren't technical...
Hi, I am having the same issue with my Gekkoscience miner running cgminer.. What should I do to have lower rate? If your miners are working, just wait. Once you get a share above 4k difficulty the pool recognizes you and lowers the assigned difficulty level. Cgminer lets you change the difficulty, but I couldn't even figure out how to use it, so you'd have to ask on another thread for support. Just add or whatever you want to set your diff to to the end of your cgminer command. Is it really that hard?  Thanks. What would be the ideal number to add?

Hi guys, I am new to bitcoin mining and raspberry pi as well, however I decided to build a bitcoin lottery setup. no risk no fun. I've got a raspberry pi, older model, a powered USB hub (Logitech), and a gekkoscience 2pac. Today I spend a few ours to install raspbian onto the pi, as well as cgminer. It is still not ready, however I followed the descrption on the fisrt page of this topic. My questions would be:Can I mine to an online wallet? if not how can I create a local one to the pi? When I need to add username/pass - what sort of username and pass should I add? (I mean in this line: cgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --btc-address). Is it normal when I plug the Gekkoscience stick into the Pi it gets really warm. Without even mining? Sorry for the noob question, I am challenging myself with this project.. Thanks. |
