what happens if I reset cgminer while mining solo?

May 04, 2013, 09:57:26 PM

Can someone explain what would happen if I am in the middle of mining a block and I restart my cgminer? Will I lose the block? or will it just pick up where I left off?

Thanks

With Bitcoin Solo mining the only share you send is a block solve if you find it. So if you restart your miner it will get a new batch of work for the current block and work on it. Nothing lost.
