No frills, no fuss 2% fee anonymous solo bitcoin mining for everyone

No registration required, no payment schemes no pool op wallets

Configuration:
Just point your miner to: stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 or port 443
If you use an incompatible rental service that refuses to work on port 3333 or need a high diff, try port 4334

Set your username to your btcaddress with any or even no worker extension, and any password.
eg: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0 -p x
If you enter an invalid address you will be rejected
Blocks solved:

Suitable for:
    Large mining farms
    Regular miners struggling to recoup costs who wish to take extra risk for greater reward potential for part or all of their hashrate
    The last backup for all miners who don't have a solo setup or wish to avoid the overheads of running one
    Miners with old/inefficient miners that will never earn any rewards through regular mining that wish to leave it mining as a lottery

Proxy support:
Miners with many devices wishing to consolidate their devices into a single connection to solo ckpool are recommended to use the complementary ckpool code as ckproxy stratum proxy (for linux).
Ckpool code is available here: https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool

Statistics:
Simple total pool statistics can be found at http://solo.ckpool.org/pool/
Solo.ckpool.org currently only displays minimal per user and per worker information based on btcaddress.
To access this, enter your BTC address at the end of: http://solo.ckpool.org/users/
or your workername at the end of: http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/

Advantages over regular solo mining:
Mining at solo.ckpool.org avoids the overheads of running a full bitcoin node that requires both great storage and bandwidth for optimal performance.
Solo.ckpool.org is extensively connected to high speed low latency bitcoin nodes for rapid block change notification and propagation.
Unlike regular pools, ckpool never mines transaction-free blocks due to its ultra-scaleable code which has miners on both new blocks and transactions concurrently.

How it works:
ckpool automatically takes your bitcoin address and gives you a unique stratum connection mining to your own address.
If you find a block, 98% of the block reward + transaction fees get generated directly at your bitcoin address!
There is no need to worry about passwords, logins, withdrawals, authentication or pool wallet hacks.
You remain anonymous apart from your btc address.
All you need to confirm you are mining to your own address is to examine the coinbase and template sent to you over stratum.
Note that if you do not find a block, you get no reward at all with solo mining.
2% goes to bc1q28kkr5hk4gnqe3evma6runjrd2pvqyp8fpwfzu to operate the pool and contribute to further ckpool code development.

FAQ
Q: Why isn't my miner showing up in the user stats?
A: The pool will only show up stats once it starts detecting shares are being returned. If your miner has a very small hashrate it could take hours, days, or even weeks to show up. You may be able to speed this up if your mining software supports the --suggest-diff option, by setting it to a lower value (1 is the lowest possible) but it has no influence on your chance of finding a block.
Hashrates below 1GH are not recommended to mine bitcoin as it is unrealistic they will ever find a block. Feel free to try them as a learning experience or proof of concept, but I highly recommend you don't thrash such devices and waste your time and energy.

Pool code:
The pool code actually run directly on the pool is all available under GPLV3 and can be used for setting up local solo mining.
Local solo mining is not recommended unless you have a high bandwidth low latency connection and optimised bitcoin daemon, however it is highly recommended as a final backup for any miner.

first  

Tested the pool auto diff behavior on small miners (Block Erupter, U1 / U2 the TTBit and a power reduced S5) and it works ok.

It is also working when the suggest-diff is added into the cgminer.conf file.

"suggest-diff" : "2" on Blockerupter
"suggest-diff" : "4" on U1/U2
"suggest-diff" : "10" on TTBit / 2Pack Gekko

Use of --suggest-diff X on the comand line during starting does the same

Even on S5 I added the suggest-diff line after ssh into the miner under /config cgminer.conf.
But that change is not permanent and get lost after a restart of the miner, so the new pool setting is more usefull for the S Series.

"suggest-diff" : "500" on a half S5

Edit: for reference add the real values

Good luck, and I had no intention of taking it down. All the changes happened without downtime anyway.

Mine on, and knock those blocks over before that halving!

Always have said If I ever manage to solve a block that donations wallet will have a heavy drop into it for his efforts.

Same here, I will send him a large cut, this pool saves us a lot of troubles, and knowing that my chances are slim to nothing, I don't mind paying a good donation to -ck, let alone minding a 1% increase in fees, if that is done on a non-solo pool I would most certainly complain, but solo? no problem whatsoever.

Good luck, hope you hit 2 of them, on a side note and since this is the first page of this new topic I'd like to take the chance and shed some light on http://solochance.com/ which is a very handy website that estimates your chances of finding a block, simply enter your solo ckpool btc wallet or the hashrate.

Thanks for your support guys. Need some solo blocks to bring some smiles back to people in this bizarre world we're all now in. At least you can keep mining while being in quarantine.  Mine on.

Never tried a rental service, but just ordered a 53TH for 24 hours on Ebay to test it out.
