So many numbers and so little time

Funny Mining Math:

Pool Luck [US pool] > 99% [seems like it's time]
Pool Luck [EU pool] ~ 44%
Total network hashrate > 775 EH [Yikes!]
Recently Adjusted difficulty > 110T [Yikes!!!]

Pool luck indicates something should hit soon, but the best share so far isn't even 45% of the crushing new Difficulty of over 110T, pus the relatively high total network hashrate makes it feel impossible.

Since the last Block here (where the stats reset), my modest little 290TH allocation has only achieved a 126B as best share in that month since, a painfully low number (and only about 0.11% of what's needed).

Bottom line, perhaps all these numbers don't mean much - so simply stated: good luck ladies and gentlemen! May a small miner find a Block here soon!

LFG!!!!

I've also noticed the painfully low numbers on the shares.

I'm running on eusolo and my rig did hit a 21.14B some time ago ( a few days after eusolo had started) but since then its best has been ~200M and most share subs are marginally larger than the pool difficulty.

I don't know if that means anything in particular, but it does seem odd and its not the first time I've seen this pattern. When I've seen it before it usually follows from a block being found, the next week or two the share sizes were almost always really low. However, this "low" seems to have gone on for ages.

Who knows, its supposed to be random right?

and small rigs with small hashrates should find hitting high numbers very rare as compared to high hashrate rigs.

ie a s21xp should hit more high numbers than a bitaxe gamma.

why is that the s21xp hash 270th and the gamma has 1th

so it has 270x chances to hit a high share over the gamma.

If its truly random, then a low hash rate miner has an equal chance of landing on a good nonce as a faster miner. In essence you could be issued a nonce that only requires one hash in order to find a share bigger than the network target.

In theory at least, the only advantage a faster miner has is that it uncovers more hashes than a slower miner so covers a bigger search area in the same time. nevertheless, any miner is capable of being lucky provided it is issued with a lucky nonce.

What I'm still uncertain of the driving mechanism behind how nonce values are created and distributed to individual miners and if there's any network manipulation of this mechanism.

As to the low returned share values, I have no idea what causes it but its clear to see if you view your log files regularly a pattern does start to show itself.

you are creating a pattern in your own mind you are looking too closely

at a few leaves and missing the forest.

Perfect, you don't want the difficulty to change on your miner once it's found the ideal diff.

Good evening.  I’m obviously new here. Just stopping by to say I have joined the ckpool solo club.

I just built a new office that has no heat source. So I built a little system out of an S19, some shrouds, and ductwork to keep warm. And hopefully find a block.

Thanks,
Pete

Thank you.

Are there any members in this 260 page thread who have hit a block?

Also:

1. I’m using the Braiins OS firmware. Is there a better choice?

2. What is the hash rate cutoff for “high performance” miners that should use port 4334 instead of 3333?

3. If I add a second ASIC, does it make any performance difference if I add it as a worker on my current user or set it up as a new user?

I hit 2 1 in 2015 and 1 in 2016.

Well coldest day in the last three years and my furnace dies. I fired up two units. 6300 watts around 21000 btu in energy.
Maybe I get lucky.

They should have furnace back online by tomorrow.

Wish me luck.

 I also using Braiins and seems to be alright, this allows you do redirect some hashrate for solo.

 Higher performance for difficulty is fine, an S19 or above can do it but if you just have a single rig for part time then stick to 3333. Point of high difficulty is for big rigs of multiple miners that would otherwise take up pool resources, in the end is doesn't make any difference towards you solving a block.

 For the addition you can still use your same personal wallet address (never mine to an exchange) and just give them a name if you like to see how each is doing. Otherwise to the same wallet, it doesn't make a difference if you use the same wallet or use a new one for your second ASIC. Odds will remain the same whichever way you roll. It's a big raffle and every ASIC that is able to contribute 1 hash can be drawn!

I hope I'm very wrong, but I'm getting June/July vibes when we went to 300% (or was it 400%) w/out a Block.

Currently standing at 128% luck (175% if you combine the US & EU pool) but the best share is still stuck at 47B, way short of the 110B needed. My best shares per worker have remained painfully low.

Of course all of this can change in a second, so tick-tock next Block, I hope it's one of us! Good luck everyone!!

One of my rigs hit a 10.6B share a few days ago, but like you the majority of the share subs are marginally above pool difficulty. Certainly a long way off network diff of 110T

The lastshare timestamp looks to be current, it converts to Friday, 24 January 2025 12:49:14

so I would say your stats are being updated properly. It may just be that your best share has not been beaten since two weeks ago, which to be honest is quite normal for a share of 34.7B which is quite high.

Check to see if the shares count is increasing also

There's a DDoS currently affecting https://solo.ckpool.org again. Mitigations are in place and the service seems to be uninterrupted for the time being, but if you experience any connectivity issues this is the reason. I have no idea what the motive for the attack is.
