Okay @ ck   what address?

to send the 0.017

Sure thing.

Just send it to the solo pool address.

https://btc3.trezor.io/address/1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ

we have 0.0175699 left in the account


I went light on fees and will try to push it.

Good got it confirmed and saved a dollar or 2.

Note my trezors are a mess due to multiple transactions the wallets slow down and take a long Time to clear.

At the moment fees are decent so I consolidated the ck funds and they now sit in this address below.

 about 0.01755 btc

Make note if you want to donate to it.

I want to update this.

I have 0.01755 btc in my coinbase account that is the donated money.  I made a lot on my doge holdings on my trezor wallets and found my trezors froze the doge for 4 days.

So I am less happy with using the trezor for longer holds.

I have 0.01755 btc which is about 1053 usd held. I will hodl it till June or till coins get to 100k.

So coins are on coinbase and are safe.

I will then send to ck.

Hi all.  I don't know if I am supposed to just reply to this thread with a new question or start a new one.  Let me try replying and someone can tell me if I did it the wrong way.  Thanks in advance.

I am trying to solo mine using cgminer 4.11.1 to do some hobby/lottery solo mining using 3 GekkoScience NewPac USB ASIC miners.

No matter which flags I use I cannot get past the error of Share above target.

My start command is here ...

       cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u BTC_address_removed.Worker1 -p x --gekko-newpac-freq 200

And my results are here ...

Does anyone have any ideas to help me?
I would sure appreciate some advice.

Thank you!

im not sure, but your diff is at 10K?

is there an option for auto?

[powrslave]

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u BTC_address_removed.Worker1 -p x --suggest-diff 32 --gekko-newpac-freq 200

[vmanuppelli]

Thank you, chillfactr and powrslave, for the replies.  Much appreciated.

I was trying difficulty of 128 before but went and tried the 32 as suggested.  What I never realized is that there seems to be two pools behind this software.  First pool is Pool #0 and the second is Pool #1.  The pool "management strategy" is set by default to Failover so that would indicate two pools, at least.  There is also Round Robin and other management strategies to choose from.

What is happening now is that when I use the --suggest-diff 32, it seems to be modifying Pool #1.  Pool #0 still sits at difficulty 10,000.  And the Pool #0 seems to be the default because when I use verbose display mode it still says 10,000 difficulty.   I can manually force the software to use Pool #1 with the lower difficulty, which I did.  Now it's mining with the difficulty of 32 (well, it raises it to 72 automatically).  Still "Share above target" continually.

What is odd, though, is that even though it prints "Share above target" using Pool Management -> Information I see this:

It seems to be mining anyway?
Unless I am misunderstanding, it does seem to be mining.
Please correct me if I am wrong or if the results don't look right for the hashrate.  I am very new to these Newpacs and to cgminer and I appreciate the advice and expertise.

[Gws24]

@vmanupelli check the CGMiner.conf file in the cgminer directory. I suspect there are multiple pools defined there. Failover is the default afaik so that is not weird, what is weird is that you have multiple pools if you didn't define them yourself. But, as I said, check the conf file and go from there.

edit: by the way, you are mining to the solo pool and at full speed too because afaik 45 GH/s is about the normal max for those babies.

Yes you are mining.  CGMiner is showing hash rate and you have a best share.  What results don't look right for your hash rate??

[vmanuppelli]

Thanks, guys, for the confirmations.

I just didn't understand the "Share above target" message and thought it was an error causing some rejection. 
I just have not seen that message before mining anything else in the past (BTC, ETH, DigiByte, ..., etc.) and just didn't know if I had everything configured properly.

Since it's solo mining and finding a block is unlikely anyway, I could not tell if it was actually mining.

I really do appreciate the help!

[seek3r]

Would we find enough participants for another run? It's time for block 258!

This is just additional info. You can always disable verbose logging in display options, to get rid of that.

[chillfactr]

you can always check your address for mining,
if you get stats, then you are mining

Hi, i'm a new user...but i don't undertand how many BTC i mining.
This is my address https://solo.ckpool.org/users/3LVnW55gppwywvpMEcyEreE6u7u2RNRbRo

And, when i recive the BTC? Every 0,001BTC?

Thx for answer, sorry for my english...i'm italian.

This is a Solo Pool.  Read the top post.

I almost have the same setup, just 2 Newpac Miners but with a big passive custom cooler (yeah, yeah there's nothing I have to compensate ;p), therefore clocked higher and it all runs flawlessly.
I start just the miner with a one-line-bash-script that provides the parameters and not with the config-file. For this sort of lottery mining I didnt define any failover pool and seeing my uptime it's imo a bit of an overkill

You won't get any rewards mining to cksolo unless you find a block and then you get 6.25 btc + transaction fees - pool fees, but your hashrate shows 50 something GH, which means you will probably not make anything even mining to a PPS pool, what device are you using?

Like Mikey said above,

you are on a lottery (luck) pool    this is an all or nothing mining pool

so do not ever expect a payout of BTC here, unless you solve the block, which then, you will get the block reward.

here's your odds
 
50 Gigahash
 
Chance per block: 1 in 2,964,035,084

Chance per day: 1 in 20,583,577

Time estimate: 56,393 years

I would be up for it - haven't been able to buy any gpu's in weeks and didn't bet on March Madness.

Thank you!  Much appreciated.

I will check the generated conf file.  I saw one generated but didn't scrutinize it much.  I will.

Hello yall,

I'm new here, I use USB Gekko NEWPACK.
This week, during solo mining at CKPOOL, the following message popped up:
"New block detected on networkbefore pool notification stratum from pool 0 at height 674900". What does it mean? I have a difficulty setting of 512 and 400Mhz overclock.

Thank you

[os2sam]

"New block detected on network before pool notification stratum from pool 0 at height 674900". What does it mean? I have a difficulty setting of 512 and 400Mhz overclock.

It means just what it says. A new block was found on the network.  The pool was slow in detecting the new block and sending your miner new work.  Happens from time to time.  Has nothing to do with your miner.
