thanks, how do you restart the bestshare/bestever for the same address?
Bestshare is automagically updated Even if its not higher than the previous share right? as now the best share is lower than bestever so it updates with every next share or when it does decide that now i will show a new bestshare? Bestever never resets. Bestshare resets everytime a block is found on the solo pool. So if someone found a block right now your bestshare would reset to zero but your bestever would not. edit: from -ck himself: Bestshare resets when a block is found by anyone on the pool. Bestever never resets.

Looks like the rental has ended and unfortunately no block. Thanks for running the block party Willi!
PS at what rate did we rent?

Hi gws24, have Update the list in the German and pool topic.
Welcome and cross our fingers for a new block.
Best regards,
Willi
Willi, I updated my payout address to a bc1 address (bc1qd5cd3rja642979whapf4pjhlczufhm46aqvsnv) almost immediately after posting via an edit but I guess you saw the old one. Could you change it? |

LTC Funded Blockhunt.
NOFI but this a solo pool for btc not for altcoins. Please make your own thread in the appopriate sub forum. Damn, missed that it is a btc run but funded with altcoins. |

Thanks I'm going against that URL through a React app and get the error even if I deploy it to my server. Usually I've been able to email the owners of the requested site and they disable CORS. I mean, if you provide an API then you shouldn't really care about CORS.
Maybe I missed it but what API are you talking about? AFAIK -ck only provides the website for statistics but I could be wrong. I can't seem to find the owner of solo.ckpool.org. I just hope they are here reading posts. -CK is the owner/operator and posts here regularly. |

Did you start to mine? You need to send some hashpower to the pool using this address "1EZT1JkFiCV4ks6qWAvqw3V2GyMhqqxkt1"   without that, what do you expect to see ? Or you could use an address that already had mined on that pool, then you can see the statistics there. For example you can look at our historical runs of our BLOCK SOLVERS mining group. You get our past stats for the mining address we're using for our runs. I’ve been mining this address 1EZT1JkFiCV4ks6qWAvqw3V2GyMhqqxkt1 my bitcoin account How much hashrate do you have? If it's very small then it might take a while before you even submit a valid share and as long as that doesn't happen the website does not show any statistics. |

Do not use an exchange address. Some exchanges do not allow newly generated coins as deposits Then I would use a different exchange. For one, since 2014 Blockchain.com has never had an issue with any of my mining rewards deposits. Considering that some exchanges don't like 'tainted' BTC I find it rather puzzling that they would take issue with sparkly brand new minted ones... I don't understand it either but if you have an exchange that does allow it then fine. I would add that I have never had an issue with a new block reward getting to my Coinbase account when I hit a block here as well.
And no issues moving off to a hardware wallet just as quickly!
Great that it worked for you but in the quoted text in my original answer the user specifically asked coinbase and got a negative answer. Why not just mine directly to an address of your hardware wallet if you're going to send it there anyway? (just curious) In general I would say that most likely you won't have a problem using an exchange address but you do open yourself up to a third party risk where you don't need to. |

@NotFuzzyWarm
Unfortunately the first post does not say anything about wallets, if we can use one from Binance or Bitcoin Wallet for example.
Do not use an exchange address. Some exchanges do not allow newly generated coins as deposits (probably because it screws up their system because new coins can't be spend until 100 confirmations so their systems can't move it to cold storage or hot wallet which they normally do after 3 or 6 confirmations <== my guess). This has been discussed previously: Guys quick question, until now i've always used the binance btc "regular" address for solo mining.
Since there is also an option to use "btc segwit" and the address is different, lets supose i mine a block, would it be a problem to use "regular" btc instead of segwit?
Which "wallet" do you guys use when solo mining?
Don't use an exchange wallet for this unless you are sure they allow coinbase (newly minted coins) transactions. In february/march we had a discussion about it because someone wanted to use their coinbase (the exchange) address. Ultimately the answer was: Hello, is there a way to get notified over email if you hit a block?? It would be a nice feature. Thank you.
Just get a wallet with an app that notifies you of a deposit, nice hash, binance whatever 1) Those are third party sites and not under your own control: not your keys, not your bitcoin. Don't think that is very smart. 2) some sites do not accept coinbase transactions as a deposit so if one is to use one of those 'wallets' then make damn sure they allow it. When you say make damn sure they allow it..... How does one do that? Ask them So, that's out. I am running a full node so i can always use that address. Good to know that coinbase doesn't accept/allow that. Now, I don't know if Binance allows it or not but I wouldn't want to risk hitting and not getting it in the end. Use the bitcoin core client as -ck says or for instance the Electrum wallet. Both are completely under your own control. So, use an address from a wallet you control yourself. And in terms of what kind of address, all types are supported, i.e. 1.... (P2PKH) 3.... (P2SH) and bc1.... (bech32) |

Oh thanks  I'll give a try to electrum. Also, got a Trezor One, can i assume there will be no issuea with that one right? Using a Trezor address is fine |

With this payment, Nice Hash pool will give you this power for a few days at today's price
Now, according to the calculator book, with this power, at least 61 days of blocks can be obtained.
How many days did you manage to gain power with this money?
I think it will be 30 days, right? If I am right, your chances are 50/50 and this is relatively good.
In your first sentence you (correctly) state that they can buy a few days worth and in your last sentence you state 30 days, does not compute So I don't know how you got 30 days but the group run uses about 0,18 btc and with that you can buy approximately 1 day and 17 hours (~1.7 days) worth of 25PH so the odds are something like 2.8% of hitting a block (1,7 / 61 * 100) or very roughly 1 in 36. By the way, easier way to roughly 'calculate' this is to just divide the block reward (6.25) by the used amount (0.18) to buy hashpower: 6.25/0.18=34.7 The odds in reality are a little worse because of Nicehash fees and the fact that hashpower is more expensive there. |

What is Bestshare really?
Why does 4 numbers appear after the dot?
Within the Asic diffA and diffR appear, why does it not match the CKPOOL data?
I'm trying to understand this but I can't find the information I need to fully understand it... Please someone explain it to me in the best possible way.
I use a translator, I am Spanish.
Bestshare is the value of the highest share you found since the last block was found by someone on this pool. Bestever is the value of the highest share you found ever and never resets. Assuming you are using an antminer then the bestever of CKpool should be equal to the bestshare in the summary of the antminer miner status. As to the 4 numbers behind the dot: share values are not integers but floating point numbers* and can be rounded down any way you want. CKpool rounds it down to 4 numbers behind the dot and antminer rounds it to whole numbers. DiffA is the value of the last share Accepted by the pool and DiffR is the value of the last share rejected by the pool and both continually change up and down. CKpool does not show that information. What you are looking for, again assuming an antminer, is the accepted stat under pools. That should correspond to the shares stat on CKpool.  |

Thanks. Yes, in the past several exchanges warned against doing that because their systems couldn't handle it. For instance, most exchanges require 6 confirmations before they credit your account but a coinbase transaction (indeed newly minted coins) cannot be spent until 100 confirmations. Exchanges routinely move btc from your deposit address to a cold wallet or use them to payout other users and that can't happen when the 100 confirmations aren't reached yet. It could be that exchanges have updated their systems but I would check with them first before doing so. |

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)
ckpool solo supports bech addresses - 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? Any random password will do. Don't understand the last part because the -p option is entering the password in cgminer so what backend are you talking about? the -p argument can be anything you want. - 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 ? Use the same btc address as worker name but use a different port. For instance Nicehash requires a higher difficulty port so use port 4334 as mentioned in the topic start. |

So if this is me... and I understand this correctly.. I need my "bestever" at the bottom to be above the network difficulty.. which is currently 13,912,524,048,946?

Yes, but current network difficulty is 26,690,525,287,405 ( https://btc.com/stats/diff) not the number you wrote. In order to find a block you need to submit a share higher than that. The pool also requests you to submit shares higher than X but lower than the network diff, what you called a pool share. This is purely for information purposes* and load balancing. By submitting shares, although lower than the network diff and not good enough for a block, the pool can calculate your hashrate and show it to you, basically giving feedback and confirmation that you are mining. X is different for each miner depending on hashrate but is adjusted continually so that you submit 14 (or was it 18) shares a minute on average and in this way the server is not unnecessarirly burdened by submissions of every low share. If that wasn't done then the pool server would be flooded with diff 1 shares and probably smoking hot and dead by now *in other pools where the block is shared it is also necessary for accounting and payouts. |

Hi guys. So I see in my mining stat in the ck pool, there's
lastshare —> last share high of difficulty what you have send
shares —> the number of valid shares what you have send to the pool
bestshares —> best share diff sinze the last block found
bestever —> best share diff what you have ever found under this address
Some of it is self explanatory but what is the difference between say lastshares vs. shares?
See inline your text Almost correct, Lastshare is the unix timestamp (=number of seconds sinds jan 1st 1970) of when you submitted your lastshare. Most of the people mining right now should see something a bit higher than 1643994000 ( https://www.unixtimestamp.com/) |
