[∞ YH] US/EU/AU solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 313 blocks solved!

[paid2]

I'm mining Bitcoin solo and have connected my GTS 1650-based ccminer (CUDA) to the solo CK pool. The stratum difficulty was fixed at 10,000, and my miner wasn't hashing. However, yesterday the stratum difficulty was set to 1 for a few minutes, and my miner started hashing. I have some screenshots of this. Today, though, the stratum difficulty is back to 10,000. Does anyone know why this is happening?

You're wasting your time/energy, you should read "3." of the following link:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.0

3. Mining BITCOIN is done exclusively with dedicated BITCOIN mining hardware based on ASICs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit . You CAN NOT meaningfully mine bitcoin today with CPU, GPU or even FPGAs. Bitcoin difficulty adapts to match the amount of mining done on the network and has reached levels trillions of times too high to mine meaningfully with PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, webpages, javascript, GPUs, and even generalised SHA hardware. You will not find software in this section to help you mine bitcoin in this absurdly inefficient manner in this subforum. It would cost you thousands of dollars in electricity per year to earn only a few cents in bitcoin. Even if you combined all the computers in the world, including all known supercomputer, you would not even approach 0.1% of the bitcoin hashrate today. Any discussion outside of ASIC related mining, except in the interests of academia, will be moved to the altcoin mining section. There isn't any point attempting to mine bitcoin with CPU or GPU even in the interests of learning as it shares almost nothing with how bitcoin is mined with ASICs and will not teach you anything.

TL/DR Summary:
 - You CANNOT meaningfully mine bitcoin with your PC or laptop no matter how powerful it is.
 - You CANNOT meaningfully mine bitcoin with your tablet or phone no matter how powerful it is.
 - Mining apps for your phone or tablet that claim to mine bitcoin are almost certainly scams.
 - You CANNOT find software here to mine bitcoin with your PC by itself.
 - You MIGHT be able to do one of the above with altcoins, but such discussion goes into the altcoin mining section.
 - You CANNOT find or post software here to mine on other peoples' PC without their permission.

It looks like our new stats page for the pool has gone on the blink following the block solve. User statistics still seem intact. Please use the basic text stats in the meantime if needed as it may take me a few days to be able to update the stats server.

There was a small frontend mistake with network diff calculations for CKPool Stats.  This will be fixed, but all the stored data is correct, so once the fix is pushed it shouldn't show any interruption in the stats history.
The bug effects the main page updating, so may be delayed a bit for now; the network difficulty number, and the odds of finding a block.
Sorry for the inconvenience, first time handling a new block found that highlighted the issue.

Not a problem, thanks for keeping us updated.

Congratulations to miner 3Hy8NDHMAzBodX1j67zHA7AcsPu9iCMsfV with a massive 150PH for solving the 293rd solo block at solo.ckpool.org!

Congrats to the lucky miner!

With the new 95.6T Difficulty, it almost seems like 150PH of today [currently 1 in 31 days odds of a Block] is like 30-40PH of my first days here 2-3 years ago.

Willi, if you're thinking of organizing another BlockParty count me in for 2x more

Good luck everyone, lets see if we can somehow manage to get mega-lucky and hit that ultra rare back-to-back Blocks for the pool!

Congrats to 3Hy8NDHMAzBodX1j67zHA7AcsPu9iCMsfV! It's always cool to see one more block solved at solo.ckpool

That's exactly what I was thinking... This is getting crazy.. Diff near 100T, I wonder if we'll go over 100T this year ; it seems probable..

It seems almost an impossible target to reach, then you have to remember its supposed to be random so there's always a chance and that's all it takes.

Looks ok you can start a fund rising now to support resources

Still, https://cpool.org providing with the real stats, no glitches, no worries, soon to integrate anonymous notifications.

I would go again as well

[blockhilltop]

Less than 5 full days since the latest CK Solo block and the pool is already at 33% with a Best Share over 48T (which was achieved I believe about a day after the Block) - don't think the pool typically reaches 100% in under 15 days, seems someone is going for it..

Once again calling out to Willi to see if we can get one more BlockParty going!?

While it's not CK pool related, but about an hour or two ago I saw this block [867760] scroll by with the following tag:
FutureBit Apollo Solo

Interesting no? That's probably not a rental, now is..

LFG ladies and gentlemen! Good luck everyone!

See you and happy Mining

Thinking of doing a solo rental run for a Christmas pressent to myself 

What would be better

1PH for 10 days
or
10PH for 1 day?

Thanks Willi,

I wasn't sure if there was a statistical advantage to either method. I guess the total share count is all that matters?

It seems speed would perhaps have the advantage over time.

This was one extremely lucky owner of a Futurebit Apollo II, which is a standalone node and solo miner with only 10TH that runs ckpool internally, and the first identified solo block from one on mainnet, purchased from here: https://www.futurebit.io/

[TIRMINE]

is CK Pool down for anyone else?

[willi9974]

is CK Pool down for anyone else?

yes, it looks like there was a problem.
But my miners are working again right now...

[buzzard34]

is CK Pool down for anyone else?

I think it is just the stats?
