Figures, I take off my big rentals after 3 days of nothing, and then it hits 2 blocks.. VA FANCULO.

ckpool is located in the US? when solo mining from EU is it better to mine with a solo pool located in EU?

[Mikestang]

and then it hits 2 blocks.

This is solo mining, there's no "it", it's a "they".  A person solved it, not "the solo pool".

For two identically set up mining nodes, one closer to you has slightly less latency. However the difference is in the order of about 200 milliseconds, when different pool set ups can have latencies in the order of a few seconds thanks to different pool software, bitcoinds, configuration, connectivity and server performance. A great deal of effort has gone into making sure the latency on this pool is very low, with custom modified bitcoind and the owner of the pool being the author of the ckpool software. In all, I doubt an EU node would be better for you unless you found one equally well set up. I haven't set one up because the number of solo miners is still very low and this pool's profitability remains low so if I were to set up multiple nodes across the world I probably wouldn't get any more miners, it would just cost me more to run the pools. I tried early on to use a very cheap VPS to run the pool on but the reality was it wasn't up to the task and a much higher performance server from a reliable provider made a big difference to performance.

Saw it live a minute ago, and again thank you for your pool! I use it even I am in Europe.

Congrats to the next solver then.

I was actually watching the pool console when it happened which is pretty enjoyable. That has only happened once before to me.

Waiting on confirmation...

Block confirmed.

The thread on it is here

It's actually one S3 and one S3+, but the + should have been defaulting to a pool. The S3 solved the block anyway though so right on target for what I intended.

I just wasted a little electricity with the S3+ because I didn't check it when I did the last update.

Anyway, the point is to reach for the stars! Every once in a while one falls in your hand 


Thanks to CK for providing a great backup for all us solo's out there!

[thedreamer]

Congrats man! Great to see an owned miner hit the blocks. Most of all an older S3/S3+, sweet.

[Rabinovitch]

How do you think, should I change the "queue" value to 0 on my Antminer S2?

Use Kano's S2 update instead. Queue does nothing any more on that version so you don't need to worry about it.

"make sure you have "Keep settings:" ticked" - I guess I should uncheck this checkbox when performing an upgrade?
