It is now possible to run your own mining pool on Umbrel with the software from Public pool. That's really fun to be able to do. If someone ever finds a block this way, how can we make sure it doesn't become an orphan block? How can we ensure that the luck of ever finding a block isn't spoiled by an orphan block.

We should have Public pool broadcast its block fast to important distribution points. These would then quickly broadcast the block across the network. The Bitcoin node is, of course, also connected to its own peers, but we don't know if they are fast enough.


My question is what can we do to ensure that the chance of an orphan block is as small as possible.

Did some hit a solo block again?

Block 736107

Hi,

I'm running a bitcoin loterymachine. The miner only has 4Th witch i'm running at 1Th. There is something i find hard to understand and could not find an answer to. In the admin screen of the miner it talks about difficulty and diffA.

After a couple off days running the diffA sits at around 40.000.000 . After i turn the miner off it starts over again starting from 0. If i look at the difficulty of the new blocks they are around
40.000.000.000 or so. Is it right that the miner needs to run for a couple of weeks to even come close of the todays block difficulty? Or i'm i compleetly wrong.
