Are there multiple servers to point miners to? I only see the one on the 1st page. I did see on a separate website these were listed but I am not sure if these are valid. Can someone confirm?
Asia
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:443
Europe
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333 stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:443
Alternative servers:
solo.ckpool.org:4334 solo.ckpool.org:3335
There is only one pool. The de pool was dropped many years ago, the official documentation is only at the website, and not from some other random places.

Thanks. I didn't trust they were valid since your site only provided one. ASIC miner software wants 3 urls 2 have to be unique which is why I was looking.

5ph and you didn't find any blocks!?
You seem to be underestimating the current difficulty value, 5ph is just close to nothing, it has a chance of 1 in 41,396 at every block, should difficulty remain flat (which it won't), it should take on average 287 days for 5PH to hit a block, so not hitting a block with 5ph that ran for 1 or 2 days is just pretty normal, you should be surprised if it DID hit a block.

I am seeking assistance.
I ran both the full repository in every way I could think of...and everyway that was mentioned. I get to the part where I am doing the ./autogen and it gives me an error that no m4 directory exists even though it very much does...and since I cannot continue without errors when I try running ckpool or ckproxy I get a "command not found" error.
So I dug a little deeper and found a script on his homepage of solo.ckpool.org and ran it and everything seemed to unpack and install fine, but when I try to run the ckproxy command I likewise get the same "command not found" error.
I am great a windows, sort of new to linux...but a little assistance would be great. I cannot get it running on debian or ubuntu on the pi 4...but I did have it running on an azure install of unbunut server...I literally followed the same instructions...
Thanks.

Hi, you got 17 PH/s huge miner. May I ask you if you can solve one block header every day? I just like to know on statistics purpose.

*SNIP*
In blockparty 14, we bought 20 Ph/s. I am afraid hitting a block every day with 20 Ph/s is very unlikely and I will be closer to the truth when I say that with the current difficulty it is impossible. You can easily calculate the block hit probability here: http://solochance.com/ (but I don't know how correct it is) At 20 Ph/s it is given "Chance per day: 1 in 76", so %1,315789473684211 But we are very optimistic! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Hello,
How to configure CG Miner on Ubuntu to mine without ASIC, simply from a PC that has a single CG 3070 ? I did not find the solution
If we don't have ASIC :
[2022-02-18 11:43:32] No devices detected! [2022-02-18 11:43:32] Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
Best regards

Get an ASIC. You can't meaningfully mine bitcoin with a GPU, and I removed the code to do so from cgminer almost a decade ago.

get an ASIC, such as Antminer, Whatsminer, etc. I am very familiar with that.hope this answer can give you some useful messages. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Hi, ck hero,
Please allow me to ask you a question?
In your solo pool, there may be some extreme fast solo miner running in front of pool with new block header, can it cause slow miners to run on the same local work (block headers generated locally in cgminer) which have already been hashed out by those fast miners?
Is the coinbase data the same for all solo miners in your pool?

Hypothetically, if you invested $100,000 US in hashpower for lets's say two weeks straight, what are the chances of taking home a win? Has anyone ever attempted that? It's a crazy of money but I was wondering if that's almost a 1-in-4 chance of solving a block (depending on how much hashpower you can buy). The ROI is not bad if the odds (and luck) is good.

Time is irrelevant in your question, it does not matter if you spend the 100k in 2 minutes or 2 weeks, it is the number of shares or attempts. So an easy way to answer your question is to look at the average daily profit per th, which now about 173 dollars, so your 100k can get you 578 ph for 24 hours straight ( ignoring all the other variables which i can tell you about in a different post). That amount of hashrate needs on average 2 days + a few hours to hit a block, so your 24h chance is 1 in 2.xx. **Need to be on my pc to give you exact figures, but these rough figures should be good enough to answer your question. Another different way is to look at it is in fiat value, the current block value is about 250k, if you invest 250k in hashrate your chance is 1 in 1, if you invest 25k it is 1 in 10. Of course this is all just theory and luck will be all that matters, but IMO it is very unwise to gamble with half a block worth just to hit a block, the risk to reward ratio is just terrible, you may hit 2 blocks and you may hit zero blocks. The way most of us do this is risk almost nothing in hopes to win everything, it makes a lot of sense that way.
