[∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 288 blocks solved!

[Sledge0001]

I copied and pasted the url.  But, for the username.  I don't know the worker name(s), so I just put my BTC address; since it said I could do it without the worker name(s). Then I put x for the password.  It still shows inactive.

Make sure you don't have any extra characters or spaces in your BTC address.

Also once you save and if you have it setup correctly in the Apollo Gui then make sure you click on Miner and then click start and you should be mining.

If not then it could be your network / router blocking you from mining or your apollo is not working correctly in which case you should head to the Apollo support thread here in the hardware area https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5340015.0

The link you referred to means "SOLO mining on an own full-node". In this case you are using solo.ckpool.org and you can use a bc1q... address of course. Just look at so many posting, a lot of users mining on soloCK pool with Bech32 address. In case it would not have been supported, you would have received an error message All good, you are ready to mine

All right, thanks a lot for your reply!

I don't understand why my ckpool shows different parameters than the Antminer:

In Antminer the following parameters come out:
[minerPool] [minerPoolTip]   Diff   Priority   Accepted   DiffA   DiffR   Rejected   Stale   LSDiff   LSTime


But none of this matches CKPOOL, anyone who can make me understand this, also it would be nice to know what each Antiminer parameter indicates, I find information but it is not well explained.

Thank you very much in advance

I do not use Antminer pool and Antminer mining program. I just guess.
Diff  may be network difficulty.\
Proority  ?
Accepted  may be  how many numbers of acceptance of your submit to the pool.
Rejected  may be  how many numbbers of rejection of your submit to the pool.
DiffA:  sum of all difficulty of accpted submit to the pool.
DiffR:  sum of all difficulty of rejected submit to pool.

Actually useful information for a transparency for pool and miners, I believe, are:
Network current Difficulty, eg 36.8T
Last accpeted submit's difficulty by the pool, and when
Maximum accpeted submit's difficulty by the pool, and when
Number of accepted submit.
Number of rejected submit.
Other statistic?

Hello Willi 

Hope you are doing good !

Any update about the next run ?

Hello Willi  

Hope you are doing good !

Any update about the next run ?

no, unfortunately not yet...
if no more users want to try, then the idea would be to invest the remaining budget of the reservations in a run. If we find a block then, will be divided proportionally of the invest.

or we wait...

PS: next week im on holiday...

There are 2 slots open for run #003 on BLOCK SOLVERS group which will be launched with 5 PH/s. Stake is only 0.001 BTC (=1mBTC)

Hello everyone, I would like to know if a Bitcoin Wallet wallet address can be used for mining here in the pool? Thanks.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

yes.
As is true in all Forums, the 1st post covers everything you need to know...

[microtecpg]

@NotFuzzyWarm

Unfortunately the first post does not say anything about wallets, if we can use one from Binance or Bitcoin Wallet for example.

Legacy and segwit should supported here…

Copy from the first page

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
Asicminer tube/prisma owners need to point to a special proxy at solo.ckpool.org:3335
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

would you seriously use a bitcoin address of an exchange wallet for solo mining ? *facepalm*

Browse to the Home of bitcointalk.org and look at line 7, this a post of theymos which I highly suggest to read.

Do not use an exchange address. Some exchanges do not allow newly generated coins as deposits (probably because it screws up their system because new coins can't be spend until 100 confirmations so their systems can't move it to cold storage or hot wallet which they normally do after 3 or 6 confirmations <== my guess). This has been discussed previously:

Guys quick question, until now i've always used the binance btc "regular" address for solo mining.

Since there is also an option to use "btc segwit" and the address is different, lets supose i mine a block, would it be a problem to use "regular" btc instead of segwit?

Which "wallet" do you guys use when solo mining?

Don't use an exchange wallet for this unless you are sure they allow coinbase (newly minted coins) transactions. In february/march we had a discussion about it because someone wanted to use their coinbase (the exchange) address. Ultimately the answer was:

Hello, is there a way to get notified over email if you hit a block?? It would be a nice feature. Thank you.

Just get a wallet with an app that notifies you of a deposit, nice hash, binance whatever

1) Those are third party sites and not under your own control: not your keys, not your bitcoin. Don't think that is very smart.
2) some sites do not accept coinbase transactions as a deposit so if one is to use one of those 'wallets' then make damn sure they allow it.

When you say make damn sure they allow it..... How does one do that?

Ask them  

I received info back from Coinbase.com.   Answer: "you can not and should not use your coinbase account to receive any mining rewards or block reward."  So, that's out.  I am running a full node so i can always use that address.  Good to know that coinbase doesn't accept/allow that.  
 

Now, I don't know if Binance allows it or not but I wouldn't want to risk hitting and not getting it in the end. Use the bitcoin core client as -ck says or for instance the Electrum wallet. Both are completely under your own control.

So, use an address from a wallet you control yourself. And in terms of what kind of address, all types are supported, i.e. 1.... (P2PKH) 3.... (P2SH) and bc1.... (bech32)

[microtecpg]

Hi friends, thanks for the replies. Now I'm using the Bitcoin Wallet I downloaded from the Bitcoin.org website. My miner is already configuring with this new address, before it was using the address generated on the Binance website.

What do you think of the Electrum wallet to mine bitcoin here? Thanks.

Do not use an exchange address. Some exchanges do not allow newly generated coins as deposits

Then I would use a different exchange. For one, since 2014 Blockchain.com has never had an issue with any of my mining rewards deposits. Considering that some exchanges don't like 'tainted' BTC I find it rather puzzling that they would take issue with sparkly brand new minted ones...

I would add that I have never had an issue with a new block reward getting to my Coinbase account when I hit a block here as well.

And no issues moving off to a hardware wallet just as quickly!

I don't understand it either but if you have an exchange that does allow it then fine.

Great that it worked for you but in the quoted text in my original answer the user specifically asked coinbase and got a negative answer. Why not just mine directly to an address of your hardware wallet if you're going to send it there anyway? (just curious)


In general I would say that most likely you won't have a problem using an exchange address but you do open yourself up to a third party risk where you don't need to.

hi ive tried to go to the 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/
 
and the links do not work

The correct link for the statistics for the whole pool is:
https://solo.ckpool.org/pool/

The link works fine.

this link works fine, too. You need to add the user (=bitcoin address) as suffix after the slash '/' so you get the statistics for that user. Try this example here to see how it looks like:
