Solo Mining on an S3 with 51.1 Difficulty - here we go! UPDATE: Block Found!!

[PanneKopp]

Not too shabby considering one of his chips is wonky and X's out after about 10 minutes.

Try powering it off for 5 minutes and then firing it up again.  Sometimes I get an X and this always has cleared it up.

... try 2 switch down the timer one step (wt cold restart)

Just joined in on the solo mining with this setup, 6x S3+ runnning at frequency 231.25. Check out the picture.  Plan on keeping this going for a bit to see what i get.  With pool mining I have been averaging aroung 6$ a day worth of bitcoins at the current exchange rate.

Good luck with the solo pool, nice little setup you have there, does it get hot in the room?

Hi Folks,


I stopped my nearly brandnew S3+ miners at BTC passing 400US$ (S1 -> S3 selfmade Upgrade),
though I have 2 pay high energy fees.

With the winter comming in, it got reactivated,
and the better one (~478GHs) is participating in this S3 Solo game (the other @nicehash).

... after 16 days, I got a respectable best share,

{"hashrate1m": "338G", "hashrate5m": "434G", "hashrate1hr": "447G", "hashrate1d": "460G", "hashrate7d": "433G", "lastupdate": 1449149542, "workers": 1, "shares": 178751257, "bestshare": 749187554.6695118, "bestever": 749187554}

but no goal yet.

... I will keep it running for about 120 days.

P.S. I do not believe, it us useful to permanently reboot the miner - strong wishes do not provide good luck ^^

Cool, keep us updated I'd love to see you find a block, since I'm also going to attempt solo mining once I get my S3.
I think 120 days is cutting it a bit short though.. Just my opinion.

Anyone,

it would help if anyone can help me step by step on how to start a solo mining pool??

Windows if possible but if it ubuntu i dont mind setting it up... i have '0' knowledge about ubuntu.

downloading ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso

This is the closest I could find to what you're asking, it's not a guide for creating a solo mining pool, but it will get you started.
Luckily it's still up to date I believe.

Clock settings nor resetting work on Sparky. He just has a bad chip. I've run the gammit on repair options, even re-applying thermal paste to his heat sinks. He just refuses to fire that one chip up for more than a few minutes. I've learned to live with it.

Nice hashrate! You've got a much better chance than me of hitting a block. Just don't give up!

You can use 1 for the two. The "sprinkling" of additional data each miner puts in to generate different hashes keeps them from working on the same results. Good luck!

Yes, 120 days is very short. You wouldn't try to catch a fish with only 15 minutes of fishing! When is your S3 coming in EternalGloom?

I've got a self hosted pool all set up on Ubuntu as a virtual machine here - I'll be posting another upgrade to it this week though so you might hold off if you go that route.

Once you fire it up and configure it you just have to point your miners to it and off it goes.




Update: Sparkys best share is - 408,491,826

[mewhoyou]

Awesome ... i will get a fresh windows 10 with vmware pro prep for your new update ...

I'm still comparing different options at the moment, I'm set on getting an s3, it's just a matter of finding one at the right price with relatively cheap shipping.
Import tax is also something I need to factor in possibly (am from Europe).

[mewhoyou]

Option 1

2 S2 on 1 pool or

2 S2 on 2 pool ...

i think its more of a question of how luck do i feel

[flagpara]

Ok, you convinced me, I gonna try solo mine with a small miner like a usb stick =D

It's just too cool. Maybe I'll mine with an s3 ^^

Yes it gets pretty hot, I have a window fan blowing in cold air.  If it wasn't winter time I'm not sure what I would do about the heat.

[helloeverybody]

Makes me want to give solo mining a try but the odds would be against me ever finding a block , Congrats on your block.

[AllysaNathalie]

well its amazing to know that there still exist some solo miners into the mining process,wont make you rich but will get an income ,that can turn into profit with some work.

[sobe-it]

someone hit a block on cks pool last night!

[Blawpaw]

It is just like playing the lottery. I many time did your miner spent mining before it found a Block? I take it that it took a long long time. Is it feasable?

[madmartyk]

someone hit a block on cks pool last night!

That was me.  Rented 55T for 14 hours and hit the lottery!!!

very nice, nearly 1/72 chance to hit it, where do you have rented such a huge amount of tera and what was the price?
