How do you know is xmr-stak has hit a solo block ?

[bytiges]

I (like others) have pointed my rigs at pools. A few of them are running monero with xmr-stak. I am rondering, how do you know if stak has mined a solo block ? There's the top 10 results, but how does that correlate to current difficulty?
Can I assume that if the best result is > difficulty, then a solution was found ?

Your question is kinda unclear but I'll give you some insights to it.
Your miners are pointed to a pool which is mining Monero and your miners won't be the only ones.
All the collective hashing power is trying to find a block in Monero network which when found provides block rewards to the pool.
The rewards are then proportionally divided to the miners according to their respective contribution.

There is nothing like a solo block.
If you are mining solo or in a pool, you're trying to find a block in the network.
Finding a block depends on the luck of miner/pool.

The pool must have a statistics page which may display the found blocks with a timestamp and block number.

I'll try to make it simpler.

Is it possible to know if one our shares mined for the pool was actually good enough to be a solution to the whole block ?

In other words, is there a connection between the block difficulty that the pool is working on and the best result achieved by the local xmr-stak instance ?

1) No, I don't think so there is any possible way to find out if the shares of your miner solely contributed to finding a block in a pool.

2) Again No.
