Hi - solo mining question re: pools

[rarez]

I got recommended by a Youtube video to mine for solo block at https://ausolo.ckpool.org

But I read on the CKpool website they don't want me to use my bitaxe gamma 601 to try mine a solo block there.

So in keeping with this, where should I point the miner for solo mining?

Thank you. (I'm new to bitcoin mining)

You can use noderunners.network

Or publicpool

https://web.public-pool.io/#/

If you are not satisfied you can visit the link below to see the other available pools but I have connect BitAxe to Noderunner and publicpool, even ViaBTC successfully.

Hope it helps.

Also I hope you understand what you are doing? I don't want to be a bringer of bad news but solo mining isn't a guarantee way to earn Bitcoin, it is very similar to gambling, because you can keep doing this for years without solving a block, I wish you the best of good luck.

Thanks I appreciate the reply. Yes I'm aware but the profits for using it to just mine as PPS are too low for me I'd like to take the risk solo mining.

I can't open that link, but https://solo.ckpool.org/ say different thing.

Hashrates below 100GH are not recommended to mine Bitcoin as it is unrealistic they will ever find a block. Feel free to try them as a learning experience or proof of concept, but it is highly recommended you don't thrash such devices and waste your time and energy.

CPU, GPU, and FPGA miners are never recommended for mining Bitcoin.

Nerdminers are demonstration toys only that simply waste bandwidth to the pool; please do not mine with them here.

They say they don't want you use their service with Nerdminers that only have 78 KH/s. Meanwhile your BitAxe Gamma 601 supposed to have around 1.2 TH/s which is also above 100 GH/s.

You can configure your device to this pool.

Solo pools have two modes. ckpool pays the reward only to the one miner who finds the correct hash. However, there are other pools that also call themselves solo pools, but they split the reward among all miners, regardless of who found the correct hash. For example, this project, although it also mines on ckpool  https://blockparty.rigly.io/

for a Bitaxe Gamma 601, most people use either Public Pool or their own node instead of CKPool. CKPool mainly asks very small miners not to use it because thousands of tiny devices create extra load on the pool. U can point ur miner to Public Pool and still solo mine, u keep the full block reward if u ever find. Public Pool was designed with small miners like the Bitaxe in mind.

Thank you for sharing I most likely will use this pool. I appreciate it alot.

CKPool isn’t ideal for very small miners like Bitaxe. A better option is Public Pool, which is built for small miners and still lets you solo mine (you keep the full reward if you find a block). Running your own node is another option, but more advanced.

Please delete this as it is in error.

Mining a bitaxe at ckpool is fine.

Bullshit.
Anything over a few hundred GHS are fine on cksolo pool or any other pool.

Public Pool is mainly for CPU/GPU mining (at best a few hundred MHS) and using the V1 or V2 toy Nerdminers which only give 75KHS and 350KHS respectively.

He might be joking or just blindly reading this directly from CKpool:

@PocketAurora Bitaxe is running 1.2TH/s or 2.2TH/s at max it's 1,200GH/s and 2,200GH/s it's more than 10x, which is capable enough to mine at CKpool solo unless you mine with any units that hash below 100GH/s.
