[∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 293 blocks solved!

[whoismoses]

There is no minimum, but the difficulty is set to 10,000 which would take a few days for you just to find one share. If your toy supports the --suggest-diff command, set it to 1 and it will happen sooner. I'd prefer if you didn't mine with it except for playing for a short while though; you are not really doing anything useful and are using almost as much of the pool resources as the biggest miners. I won't stop you, but I will discourage you from trying.

Yea, just wanted to make sure it was working. If I keep it going I'll likely point it at the node I've been running for a few years.

When the world's blocks are congested, so the capacity increases, it seems that there is no end to solve, which lucky person will get a super high reward this time?

I've setup a NERD MINER v2. My hashrate is 20KH/s... Yea I know, I'm just messing around. Long time miner so I'm just asking is there a minimum hashrate for my stats to show up on the pool?

I've been online for 17 hours.

I've tried...

and

On that note. I been doing solo mining by renting rigs but when I'm not renting, i do have cpu miners going just for that wild chance. I know when I do these cpu miners its likely nothing, but I didnt know I could be harming the pool? If so I will stop.

What software are you using to CPU mine?

It's not 'harming' the pool, as -ck said it is just a waste of resources because it uses the same amount as a miner that has at least a remote shot at finding a block. It all boils down to the miner being fast enough to even process *one* share.

Remember, on average a block is found every 10 min and new work will be generated when it happens. That means that your miner MUST be fast enough to process at least 1 share and it be accepted by the pool aka 1 'roll of the dice' in that time. Even at a suggest diff of 1 using CPU's are unlikely to do that so on every point it is a waste of resources.

Just a python script. I don't believe I'm using much resources from the Pool with it. I'm just playing around with searching different nonce levels. I know its a long shot but bored.

A short question

i have extend a nicehash rental with the worker extension .LTR5

 ]
}

Can i oben a status only from that worker?  Like https://solo.ckpool.org/users/bc1q7rdwugpgm8ynymchltkqs9x7gmjkcdy9f9kvm3.LTR5 or is it only possible without the extension?

And the better question is, are that valid and if we jump with our best share over the diff, is that valid to catch a block?

Best regards,
Willi

[paid2]

I think the first worker (without extension) will disappear after some time being not used.

And yeah, as long you use a "." or "_" the share should be valid and the block should be safe !

[mikeywith]

I think the first worker (without extension) will disappear after some time being not used.

you are correct, but that "some time" is rather long tho, willi's rental is probably going to finish before it disappears, I am certain it doesn't disappear up to the point of when it has 0 hash on the hour timeframe.

here is one of my miners that mined for a few seconds on the pool due to connectivity issues with the main pool

Code:

  "hashrate1m": "0",
   "hashrate5m": "0",
   "hashrate1hr": "0",
   "hashrate1d": "1.34G",
   "hashrate7d": "5.44G",
   ",

I am not sure if it will disappear when the 1d = 0, or it has to wait for the 7d mark, if CK doesn't answer by the time my 1d is 0, I will post an update to see if the 1d = 0 got it to disappear or not.

@willi9974, of course it is valid, ignore everything at the bottom and just look at the top part that isn't even displaying the btc address, it's all that matters, if it's hashing then it's hashing.

Code:

{
 "hashrate1m": "507T",

Hi, First time posting here.

I'm something of a noob to mining, only just set-up a miner a week ago, ckpool has run flawlessly until today.

So, I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one having trouble accessing it presently. I thought I'd broken something. 

The status pages havent updated in over an hour, so somthing is down somewhere.

Hope it comes back online soon.

Cheers

I can confirm that, the pool "hang", can't connect to any ports. ping to url work, so it may be a pool issue, lets wait for con to head up.

Edit: my last share to the pool was on 2023.5.15 18:18:54 GMT since then no new connection is acepted by the pool
