Hello all,

The Blockparty 47 is over, no block but we plan the next one.
For any they will join, please post here and you can send your coins meanwhile. I are back in 6 days from my holiday and will post the new blockparty topic later.

See you and best regards,
Willi

Update: And here is the new Blockparty Run 48

Hello all,

let's go to the next group buy from Hashingpower.

As already requested by some forum users I put a new group buy for solo mining. Start at the earliest after the next diff reduction.

~15-18 users for each 0.005 BTC, 0.01 BTC or more BTC can participate. A higher number is not useful, otherwise a possible profit will be much too small.
If smaller amounts than the minimum amount are allowed in a single case, then the calculation of the rewards will be based on the amount of BTC deposited.
Hashingpower is rented on Nicehash and shot on the solo pool.
The status of the group run can be observed during the runtime via the Live View link.
Here you can see what our hashingpower is and what our highest share / bestshare is.

If a block is found, the reward will be paid out to the participants.


Lets go and let us find a block



In the past we had found 10 blocks --> 193 BTC!
Block list: 385022, 394940, 394946, 395087, 396941, 399709, 401934, 706369, 712217, 780525

Those who want to participate send their BTC to the following address bc1qlpd45688hce39lusur8sdnuzy3z2dx4uvrgpkt and post their participation with the following template:

Please send your coins only if there is still a place available.


To make it a little easier in the new year, I've decided to do the reservations differently.
In the new year there are reservations possible for people who pay for 2, 5, 10, ... block party runs in front.
If the quota is exhausted, the place will be automatically free and someone else can use the place.

Specifically, we start with the Blockparty Run 2022-1 and if someone sends 20x 0.01 BTC at the first time, he is practically permanent until the Blockparty Run 20.
If someone joins the Blockparty Run 2022-7 and sends 10x 0.01 BTC, he will be a member until Blockparty Run 17.
This simplifies the organization and places are not permanently taken by the same people, unless someone sends 50x 0.01 BTC for the 50 planned Runs.

If we should not create at the end 2023 the Runs, for which someone already paid, the last Run in 2023 all payments are used around longer to run.

As long as open slots are available the coins can be sent at any time without an OK from me

Of course there is no guarantee that we will find a block, but it would be mega if we repeat the runs until we find one!
Should something happen like: Nicehash account hacked, deposit address in forum post hacked, BTC sent to a wrong address, etc. no compensation for the loss will be provided. Everyone takes this risk or does not participate in the block party if they do not agree with it. However, I assure that everything will be done with the highest care as before.

S19k arrived yesterday and i got connected to ckpool.. Ping is at 80ms with 0% rejected shares! Is 80ms good enough?  Viabtc has a ping of 18ms so considering that but unsure about having a potential block being sent to my viabtc dashboard rather than my direct wallet?

Do I need to add a worker name to my machine or does it not matter since i only have one connected?  Does the screenshot look correct?

 That's a good miner, and connection looks great. You planning to keep this thing on ckpool permanent or now and again? I ask because the odds of hitting a block are small that you can be mining for years (even decades) without success. I have a small little rig of about 500T total, but only have an old and not otherwise used S9 14.5T mining on ckpool full time. Now and again I may direct 2 or 3 S19 types at it.

[SolHarvester]

What would be the minimum recommended hash rate solo mining after the halving? I can imagine the difficulty will increase exponentially making the odds even harder and would need more powerful miners.
I'm using 2 TH/s now and may get a small boost of a few hundred gigahash soon.

On a separate note, for the past month, i've been trying to keep my miners running 24/7, I cringe every time I have to turn my miners off. During that time, I've been going back and forth on weather I should try to mine in a pool.
One reason I would want to mine in a pool is not to get more payouts, but to stack sats and hodl and would be enough earnings to make it worth while.

So far the help I got from the people that run these pools imply to don't bother unless I have a lot of hash power and assumed I was using GPU miners.
Despite the discouragement, I looked at the payout requirements and from what I see there's a common minimum threshold of 0.001 BTC to request a payout.
That would take me several months to get a payout and that doesn't sound like enough incentive to potentially pass on a block reward solo mining.

There may be other factors to pool mining that I'm not considering cause I don't fully understand how it works.
Like I had a question about mining in a pool on days that block is not found. If I only earn what my miner is capable of mining and keep it, or if the hash power of the entire pool (for example 5 EH/s) splits all coins mined between all workers but is distributed biased on work contributed.

When it comes to finding a block in a pool, I only assume that is also split among all workers as well, but also based on work contributed. In my case, it doesn't seem like it won't be that much, especially if it's split with tens of thousands of workers and the lower hash rate gets paid less. I might get a few cents worth.

If all that is true, I don't know why anyone would bother with pool mining with a low hash rate, unless someone can tell me otherwise.

Well your question is hard to answer.  But I will try. 

we are at 425eh. you have 2 th

425eh = 425000ph = 425000000th

so on each block you are 425000000/2 = 212,500,000 to 1. we make say 144 blocks a day. so

212,500,000/144 = 1,475,694.44 to 1 on any given day.   or 4043 to 1 in a year

I recommend adding 0 th unless your power is free.

[SolHarvester]

I would love to add another 0 to get 20 th. Unfortunately my situation makes using too much wattage difficult and dicey as well with very old household wiring and I have to consider noise as well.
My power is technically free, I would feel inclined to share the cost of energy if I use much more wattage.

Something I have considered is getting an asic miner like an S9, but using only one hash board to cut the wattage, but also gaining extra hash power. Perhaps installing quiet fans. That could possibly work.

Even if you add a zero go from 2 to 20 th you are looking at 404 years before you hit a block.

Now I am on a very small pool we have about 400th on the whole pool. I would say our chances are 1 block in 20 years.

Which is a long fucking time.  But like you my power cost to mine 50th there is zero.

You still mining on that small pool? is it still going?

I might fire the old S3's on there they are looking mighty dusty but still in great condition and work flawless.

Perhaps if there was a small pool to join. If I had the hardware and technical knowhow, I would just create my own pool and find people to join it and split the rewards among a small group.
Just got a new miner today, now just realized I need a larger power supply to power it all.

 Think it's covered but I'll had my 2 cents, first all you need to find a block is 1 hash... the rest of those hashes just increases your chances of being the one to find it.

 In your case even if you added that 0 and estimation of time is 400 years, that is a very fluid estimation... it could be an hour or even longer with the difficulty likely to increase.

 As for mining on pools with such a small rig it would take months & months before you get to payout, if you wish to HODL then perhaps just DCA your way.

 With colder months coming about you can double it up as a heater, so helps justify some of that added cost. I would also recommend still using a 220/240 outlet instead of a 120 if you are in North America. Originally had a few S9s, but the ones that were running off 120 power seem to start having issues while the one on 240 still going. That is the one I have dedicated to solo mining.

So 0.001 BTC is the minimum bid to get a spot in the block party? There were something mentioned that participation rules might change where someone might be able to take up someone else's spot that was already paid?
What happens when no block is found, is there no reward?

[paid2]

So 0.001 BTC is the minimum bid to get a spot in the block party?

Nope :

~15-18 users for each 0.005 BTC, 0.01 BTC or more BTC can participate

There were something mentioned that participation rules might change where someone might be able to take up someone else's spot that was already paid?

I've participated in many block parties, and as I saw, a paid spot is a paid spot. You can't lose yours.

What happens when no block is found, is there no reward?

Nothing. It is like a lost bet.

Thinking about pointing my 4 asic 134th miners to solo.ckpool for 30 days to try my luck. My energy costs are ridiculously, so I won’t be profitable in pool mining until about 35,000 (break even) so why not eat the energy bill and roll the dice. My questions. When adding the asic’s do I just add them with the same btc address or should I follow the add many machines in the instructions? Does it matter if they are mining 4 @ 134th or as one @ 536th? I’ve been mining for one month so I’m new to this.

As you prefer. Same results in terms of mining.

4 x 134 th will give you more details on the pool page, you will know what have done which ASIC with precision. But the luck and probability to find a block will be the same.

You can use the same BTC address of course. You can add a worker name with "BTCaddress.workername" or "BTCaddress_workername".
And you can, of course, just use "BTCaddress" with your 4 ASICs, the only negative side would be to track their bestshare and shares individually but that's all.
