If I hit a block using nicehash and a solo mining pool.. do I still need to keep the machines running for 10 blocks to make sure it's confirmed to me? (until it turns to spendable), or once I hit the block I can shutdown the mining machines and I'd still have it spendable after 10 blocks?
When you hit a block with ck pool the block chain release's the coins after 100 confirms or so.
you will see the block but you will not be able to move or touch the coins for 18 hours or so.
To be sure you hit and keep the block just wait for 2 or 3 confirms.
Even though you won't have the ability to use the coins they will clear down the road.
There is a small chance of a block being orphaned before a single confirmed
and smaller if 2 confirms happened.
we got a decent share on this machine
