Decided to quit pool mining and go all in solo!!
Wish me luck

Ok, Good Luck!
That said, personally I prefer solo mining at a other pool that only charges a 0.5% fee vs 2%...

Has your favorite pool ever found a block?
The handling with rented Hashpower from nicehash is not so easy, you need a Proxy, or?

What do the data that appears under the TH, Lastshare, Shares, Bestshres... mean or what is the use of.

[Colinb83]

TH is the hasrate

Lastshare is the score of the last share
Shares are the total amount of shares you have done
And best share is how close your best share got to the prize

[-ck]

Please stay on topic. It's plain fucking rude to promote another pool in this thread. It's also not a support thread for anything unrelated to mining here directly or indirectly. Carry on.

[Colinb83]

Thanks for the hardwork you do Ck on running our pool, I see the 2% fee as perfectly reasonable and worth it to keep it running

What I want to know is if you can get information from that data without the miner doing it well...
Or is it data that does not yield useful information?

[Colinb83]

As a solo miner the only real info you need is knowing the hash rate is what your expecting from the miners

Other than that the only real info you can hope for is a notification from your wallet that 6.2btc has been deposited

Finding a block is binary either you do or you dont

[Marco48]

I'm not a miner yet. But can I do it with my laptop? Or is that a bad idea? Because I don't know what the earnings are in a month qua BTC? Maybe stupid questions!🤣

[Colinb83]

Mining on a laptop for btc is essentially pointless, also solo mining won't give you a monthly income, I'm running 12kw/hrs of asic miners and even at that only gives me an average chance of finding a block once in 13yrs

Very very bad idea  . cpu's are nowhere powerfull enough these days. In the early days of bitcoin it was mined by cpus but then mining with graphics cards came along and after that asics. To give you an example according to http://solochance.com/

cpu = very very low megahash range. For instance 1 Mhash gives you a chance of 1 in 3,641,973,524 years which is in the range of the remaining lifetime of our sun
gpu = high megahash range. For instance 300 Mhash gives you a chance of 1 in 12,139,912 years
asic = Terahash range (tera is 1 million times faster then mega). For instance current antminer s19j pro 104 Th device gives you a chance of 1 in 35 years

Your better off buying a lottery ticket then mining bitcoin with a cpu or gpu.

edit: -ck explains it even better in a stickied post in the mining forum:

Mining BITCOIN is done exclusively with dedicated BITCOIN mining hardware based on ASICs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit . You CAN NOT meaningfully mine bitcoin today with CPU, GPU or even FPGAs. Bitcoin difficulty adapts to match the amount of mining done on the network and has reached levels trillions of times too high to mine meaningfully with PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, webpages, javascript, GPUs, and even generalised SHA hardware. You will not find software in this section to help you mine bitcoin in this absurdly inefficient manner in this subforum. It would cost you thousands of dollars in electricity per year to earn only a few cents in bitcoin. Even if you combined all the computers in the world, including all known supercomputer, you would not even approach 0.1% of the bitcoin hashrate today. Any discussion outside of ASIC related mining, except in the interests of academia, will be moved to the altcoin mining section. There isn't any point attempting to mine bitcoin with CPU or GPU even in the interests of learning as it shares almost nothing with how bitcoin is mined with ASICs and will not teach you anything.[/]

[willi9974]

regarding the two new low speed blocks here on the pool, we start a Blockparty LOW SPEED - LONG TIME Run
prepaid for 6 mounth with 200 THs, if someone will join us, follow this link.

One rental is started. A second one starting / filled up at the moment. if some more interesst here, we can set up a third one

104th s19 earns about 0.00000515 x 104 = 0.0005356 btc in a day. 6.25/0.0005356 = 11,669 to 1 shot or about  31.8 years  it is a rough estimate and is a bit different than your 35 year estimate.

but in a few days the difficulty will change by over 6% that would make it over 33.8 years

Is bech32 supported?  Are there any limitations on the address types used for account and payout?

All 1x and 3x addresses and bech32 are supported, bech32m has not yet been validated.

As Colin says that is correct. I do want to add that you do need to set a password as well but that can be anything you want.


If you have multiple machines then you can set workernames by adding something to the username for each miner like this:

38HRDQeecdfQnCyrnLEtKJGnEsrLG3XUCt.worker1
38HRDQeecdfQnCyrnLEtKJGnEsrLG3XUCt.worker2
etc
So a point after the btx address and then a specific name (you can choose which) per miner

You don't need to do this but it is handy if you want to monitor different machines and how well they are mining because with these extended usernames you get stats per worker on the ckpool site.

One question, what data can you extract to check if the Asics are doing well?
Thanks in advance

Only the hashrate. Basically it is a quick way to see if any of your machines are underperforming (use 1D or 7D average) instead of logging into each one separately*. If one is then you can log into that machine and troubleshoot.

I may sound crazy, but tell me how do I start solo mining on a PC? ) intel processor nvidia video card ! what program is needed for solo mining?

BTC mining not possible, you need ASIC Miner

[Hashedbet]

CPU mining is possible but is a total waste of time and don't bother with it, you are better of buying an USB miner and giving it a crack...

If I give both miners the same BTC address, what happens?

I mean:
(Mineadr)
38HRDQeecdfQnCyrnLEtKJGnEsrLG3XUCt

38HRDQeecdfQnCyrnLEtKJGnEsrLG3XUCt

Without a period at the end as you said and without differentiating one from the other, can something happen?
