Sidehack stick solo pool club

[TheRealSteve]

is there an easy system in place tho to tell what the worker shares are?
[...]
hmm i was actually thinking, dont the shares reset after ck's solo pool finds a block? it could be hard to track.

-ck added a "shares" parameter in the json output for solo.ckpool.org .  Just a matter of grabbing stats A. once when the round begins, and B. again when a block is found, then B-A = shares for that period.  -ck mentioned that worker shares are not reset.

this should make it trackable for us.

The goal with this is grow side hack sales maybe the pod next time.

I really see this type of pool/club as the future for many home miners.

If side hack can do a working pod in the one hundred gh level it would be good for this pool.

I really wish bitmaintech would see the value in selling side hack two thousand s-7 chips.



A five or six chip miner with s-7 chips could do four hundred gh at under one hundred watts
Maybe eighty watts. This would be a perfect miner for a pool like this. It would also make bitmaintech look good. It would also create a viable mining option for smaller miners.
2000 chips would make say fourhundred  five chip miners.
This would not hurt bitmiantech it is only about onehundredsixty th. small enough to not hurt bitmaintech big enough to allow for a good pool setup.

the 50/50 split between a stick worker and percentage of total shares per block sounds good to me.

one of my sticks wont be run beyond what a single usb 2 port and passive cooling can provide, currently 185 Mhz and 10.something Ghs at 55-60 C on the heatsink. it lives on my HTPC in the living room so must be silent (per the wife).

the other will get a y cable on usb 3 and a fan plugged into my freenas box in the basement if i ever get some free time, whatever that is.

If he could get a hold of next gen chips -- game over for the Big Boys.  That is why I think they don't respond to him about chip requests.
I don't mind though.  He is able to squeeze efficiency out of last gen chips and keep it affordable.  What we all hoped for may finally come true - trading in old hardware for a discount on a new shiny thing.

So on the Pi in linux you can run multiple instances of Cgminer from the terminal?

 ck has takes his fee which is .25 or .5  

Pool's fee is only 0.5% which is only 0.125BTC

I think you would need to open up 2 terminal windows and keep them both open all the time?

I found the easiest way (for me so far) is to do both instances of cgminer's in the "/etc/rc.local" file and add just above "exit 0"  2 lines:

cd /home/pi/cgminer-gekko (if thats where you got it and your using cgminer-gekko) (and the next, all 1 line)
screen -dmS sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX._XXXX_k --usb :1 --compac-freq 350 --suggest-diff 19 --widescreen --worktime; screen -dmS sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.Jake36stick --usb :4--compac-freq 350 --suggest-diff 70 --widescreen --worktime;

Using the ";" let's me putty into the Pi from the main computer and use "screen" to check both cgminer-gekko's stats or add backup pools, if you don't use "screen" you can omit ";". Added benefit is if the power goes off, the Pi boots and starts mining as soon as the power is back.

The ';' just separates 2 (or more) commands.

a ; b

it's the same as running it on 2 separate lines:

a

Thank you.  I will give that a shot.  Tired of typing in terminal on my Pi's 5" screen.

Making some changes to my mining strategy so will be less concerned with daily hash power and payouts. As a result, I can keep my s3+ pointed at the pool all month for the October run to increase our odds.

Converted my riskable BTC to PACMiC contracts so I won't be tempted to play with rental hash which hasn't been very profitable lately. Going to just sit back and let things run for a while.

My tiny farm:

Antminer U3 - Pointed at Antpool for the hell of it.
Antminer S3+ - Pointed at Sidehack Stick Club
Antminer S5 - Hosted at Hashnest
Antminer C1 - Pointed at CKPool
3X Sidehack Sticks - Pointed at Sidehack Stick Club
2X Sidehack Sticks - idle

Pointed 2 twords pool again.  Had network issue with new router.  Running 2 routers at the moment so a bit more complex then needed.

But I should be back up again.  I need to install something to remote into my RPI it is a pain to find out it's down after looking at web page.  I wish they had teamviewer but looks like other options.

the 1d avg is kind of low, we had a storm and the power went out but its back online now.

[toptek]

I pointed a S3 donation miner at this pool. I'll  leave here till tomorrow around 12 noon est or until the beta is over unless asked to do different . .

I am pointing a stick at the pool for you until you get yours.

thanks you are welcome to keep it past beta and you would earn a bit extra under the new setup.
