[∞ YH] US/EU/AU solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 311 blocks solved!

[philipma1957]

Hi All,

So I registered and entered my BTC address in the worker line. I didn't sign any transactions through a wallet which I heard you need to acknowledge through a wallet that the wallet is yours. Is this true? Is it possible to do this through a normal normie wallet like through a custodian or the standard BTC players?

Any help would be appreciated, I'm running to Avalon Nano 3's and plan to buy a couple more just so I have one in each room for heat.

Best,

Keeper

So lets try to understand an address in a wallet.

One a wallet can have endless addresses
Two an address doe not hold wallets.

Three there are wallets that you fully control
Four there are addresses that you fully control.

Five there are companies that control wallets with addresses in them
Six those companies control the coins and give you an iou. they can screw you.

So I ask how did you get an address and a wallet?

1) did you join an exchange.
2) did you load software and make a software wallet
3) did you buy a hardware wallet.

1)if you joined an exchange or service you do not control the coins or the address
2) if you loaded good software for a wallet and did it correctly you likely control the coins and addresses
3j if. you purchased a good hardware wallet from a good seller snd followed instructions you likely control the wallate addresses and coins in it.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the worker statistics endpoint?
http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/

Also, is there a way to remove old or renamed workers from the worker array in https://solo.ckpool.org/users/ ?

Thanks in advance!

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/

Another year beginning, in this year 2025 we will see many more blocks in this ck pool, good luck to us, Happy New Year

The question is, on which port do people find a low-power unit? The block is more likely to be found on port 4334 or 3333. If you set it to port 4334, then there is a ball difficulty of 1,000,000. And with low power, which port is better?

what do you mean by "low-power"?

For high performance rigs and rentals its recommended to use 4334 since the minimum diff is 1,000,000


As for likelyhood of findng a block, there's no difference between either port the odds are based on the hashrate of your rig and that is all.

I have ping to euro solo 120. Is this normal? Or a lot, and the chance of finding it becomes much less for a ping of 120. There are many more Discarded errors. What is interesting about these errors. Antminer s9.

[igorokkk]

Hello, the question is, how is the Btc block located? How is the work on finding the block going, each new block is given a new task to equip? Does it turn out that if the block is not found, the next block starts from zero, or does the upcoming work increase the chances of finding the block? For example, we know that I have to find a block at 12.00 (conditionally block 123000). And under what conditions is the chance of finding a block higher at this time. For equipment that has been running for a month without stopping, or equipment that was started 2 hours ago. The power of the equipment, for example, is 100 th alone. Question: will the work of the equipment that has been working longer help in any way, or after each block is found, all the work starts anew?

Yes. After each block is found, all the work starts anew.

I'm an EU resident (de) and have 20 ms to eusolo.ckpool.org and 170 ms to solo.ckpool.org.

Another question I have.

There is the SHA256ASICBOOST (I can turn it on or off in my miners, it changes efficiency as far as I am aware)

Apart from the efficiency, does turning it ON or OFF changes anything related to my odds? Can I mix machines with ON and others with the option OFF?

AFAIK, ASIC boost improves the efficiency of the miner therefor increasing its hash rate marginally, so yes its worth turning on if your rig allows it.

It does both, it improves efficiency and allows for "faster" mining, it kinda takes a shorter route to hash blocks, but that's for a different topic, and, no, it has no effect on your chances of finding a block directly, although given the fact your hashrate should increase with ASICboost enabled using the same power, your chances would increase by the same factor.

In some very rare cases, some pools may not support AB and thus your chance of hitting a block there is exactly zero.

that would be my ping coming from Austria.

Sorry for the noob question but at roughly what hashrate are people hitting blocks on a semi regular basis and thus making their operation profitable?

[philipma1957]

good question.

but power cost

gear efficiency both matter.

If you have 40 s21xp miners which cost big bucks but are efficient.

you have about 40x270=10800 th

that will hit a block 1 time every 400 days if you have standard luck.

so you need to pay power on those machines for 400 days

one day power cost is about 864 kwatts or 86.40 a day at 10 cent power x 400 days = 34560 power cost for 400 days.

plus 75,000 for the machines total 109560 cost to maybe hit that block

plus rent a build plus cool it.

but in theory you would make profit.

also you would not mine here solo you would mine at a pool like viabtc.com and virtually be certain to hit coins.

likely make over 100 maybe 150 k in 400 days.

Can someone explain in detail or point me to the thread that explains how the 2% fee gets paid if the block reward goes straight to the users wallet?

[philipma1957]

2 payments at the same time.

98% to the winner 2% to ck


look at this block hit on ckpool in dec 2024

98% to block hitter
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/3FK6JGHQpvqQatbpzje1yUbPbV9m1YjoKq

2% to pool fee
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/bc1q28kkr5hk4gnqe3evma6runjrd2pvqyp8fpwfzu

transaction did both at same time.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

When the ckpool software creates the work header it automatically applies a pool payout address for a definable % of the rewards as a fee function along with the solo user address or main pool wallet address.

[knowone2much]

Man  ,     Thanks for the info, You all rock!  1 more question is it better to mine to a exchange wallet or a personal wallet?

Entirely up to you, just remember, "Not your keys, not your BTC".

Personally, I use a custom address from my CEX and usually move proceeds from there to my Trezor or trading act.

[philipma1957]

I mine to a trezor wallet address

Funny Mining Math:

Pool Luck [US pool] > 99% [seems like it's time]
Pool Luck [EU pool] ~ 44%
Total network hashrate > 775 EH [Yikes!]
Recently Adjusted difficulty > 110T [Yikes!!!]

Pool luck indicates something should hit soon, but the best share so far isn't even 45% of the crushing new Difficulty of over 110T, pus the relatively high total network hashrate makes it feel impossible.

Since the last Block here (where the stats reset), my modest little 290TH allocation has only achieved a 126B as best share in that month since, a painfully low number (and only about 0.11% of what's needed).

Bottom line, perhaps all these numbers don't mean much - so simply stated: good luck ladies and gentlemen! May a small miner find a Block here soon!

LFG!!!!

I've also noticed the painfully low numbers on the shares.

I'm running on eusolo and my rig did hit a 21.14B some time ago ( a few days after eusolo had started) but since then its best has been ~200M and most share subs are marginally larger than the pool difficulty.

I don't know if that means anything in particular, but it does seem odd and its not the first time I've seen this pattern. When I've seen it before it usually follows from a block being found, the next week or two the share sizes were almost always really low. However, this "low" seems to have gone on for ages.

Who knows, its supposed to be random right?
