For some it's all or nothing, that's just as valid an outlook as any. My dust miners are pointed to a pool, however, when my A6 and S5 were running I only pointed them here. I think Patrick Henry summed it up when he said, "Give me a full block or give me death." or something like that.

WOW ! Nice man.. look at that usb miner.. I wish I have that just for the start.. And the fan too, it's cute man.. Can I ask how much you spend to all of that ? What do you mine ? Bitcoin ? Can I use it for mining other crypto ?
Thanks. Most of your questions are answered above, I should take an updated pict since I moved my 2nd gekko stick to this little usb nest and have a 2nd fan going, too. This set-up dust mines bitcoin, but at current prices even dust has value now-a-days. The A6 quoted above is no longer in use, however.

Hey, fellow runners, I'm pulling my gekko stick out of the fun run to earn dust on a pool I've been dust mining on for a while. With BTC approaching $4500 even dust has value now-a-days. I'm leaving my ant pointed to the fun run, though, so I'll still be participating a little bit.

Yes, but if a block is "accepted" via normal solo mining, then that means you found A solution to the actual block. On ckpool, your submissions are "accepted" but are not necessarily actual solutions to the block. Or at least that's per your communication.
Your understanding is the same as mine and appears correct. CKsolo functions like all pools do, in that it "accepts" shares regardless of if they are greater than network difficulty, and like I mentioned (and CK is quoted above) this is shown as feedback so you can see your miner working. You could set the vardiff to equal network difficulty, then you would only see an accepted share if it had the potential to be a block solve.

Its just that this isn't the same as solo mining even though it is represented as "solo mining".
It is solo mining, the only difference being you are not mining against your own node and you are using Ck's architecture which should increase your chance of a successful block solve being accepted by the network, in exchange for 1% of the block reward. From the home page: Advantages over regular solo mining: Mining at solo.ckpool.org avoids the overheads of running a full bitcoin node that requires both great storage and bandwidth for optimal performance. Solo.ckpool.org is extensively connected to high speed low latency bitcoin nodes for rapid block change notification and propagation. Unlike regular pools, ckpool never mines transaction-free blocks due to its ultra-scaleable code which has miners on both new blocks and transactions concurrently.
