[∞ YH] US/EU/SG/AU solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 314 blocks solved!

[Nexus9090]

So far only minor cosmetic issues have come up on the logs, and I've done a few seamless restarts to address them, meaning things are still looking good. On the upside, the average CPU load is levelling out to about 2/3 of what it normally is overall, which is a huge performance increase at any time, let alone for otherwise mature software. It equates to 50% more capacity for the pool. This confirms it was well worth the effort. I'll continue to closely monitor its behaviour. The other two pools will be upgraded only once no more issues - cosmetic or otherwise - show up. A block right now would be the icing on the cake.
Mine on!

Excellent work, 33% performance boost is worth having!

Thanks for your work maintaining the pool for us all.

Here's looking forward to the next block 
 
Mine on!!!

The updated ckpool code has no known outstanding issues and is running very smoothly on the main pool. It has now been merged into the master branch of ckpool, and I will be deploying it on ausolo.ckpool.org and eusolo.ckpool.org shortly.
Mine on!

ausolo.ckpool.org will be down briefly for less than 5 minutes for some scheduled maintenance at approximately 11am AEST. As always make sure to have a backup pool configured in your mining hardware.

solostats & eusolostats seems to be down a while...

solostats & eusolostats seems to be down a while...

eusolostats is still reporting, its slow to update though.

I'm seeing 8-10 minutes between updates which is unusual. Normally its only 3-5 minutes.

Live text stats direct from the source are running fine

[dwightc]

yes, it got back soon after i posted. Both sites were unavailable when I posted. Yes, the refresh time interval seems to have gone to 10 mins after it came back up. may be that was the fix?

Hi. Here are three users on the statisticshttps://eusolostats.ckpool.org  website who submitted the most difficult shares. Number 3 found a block, and it's visible in the blockchain. Why aren't numbers 1 and 2 listed?

...

Listed where?
Miners can make their pool stats private, that could be it.

can see both in blockchain

That's a lot of hash, leave some for the rest of us. 

Congrats!!!

Mine on.

[victor-uniform-solo]

Congratulations, what a nice share, almost triple of the required. 136T vs 363T (a number most of us can only dream about)

Mine on, dream on.

654P for the magic number!   congrats

Congratulations to 3QefyRqPfDJy5Bij4KBS88cTicj93LfPJg for solving this block.

a little "rent" saves the day then.

Random useless fact: The most common best diff share in the last two years on the solo pools before reaching a block solving diff is ~38 trillion. I see no logical mathematical reason for this, it's just an unusual coincidence. It's also wildly variable how long after a 38T diff share that a block is actually solved, so don't use this as some superstitious reason to start high stakes gambling once 38T hits.

That's a fun useless fact. Thanks for sharing. Assuming you have the data available wondering how many % of successful block solvers did hit 38T or better before exceeding required difficulty? a chart of highest difficulty before successful block solved would be nice to have

Sadly no, I don't collect much data at all. It's just something I noticed since I'm constantly monitoring the pool. You'll note ausolo is currently at the said 38T.

This was a big block for solo ckpool, as it was the first Bip54 forward compatible block, first from the updated json + performance upgrades, first to use the new block propagation network I deployed, and first to use the new IPC notifier in bitcoin core.  I've been busy behind the scenes.
