[∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved!

Then of course there's measuring the block handling and distribution time with a home bitcoind and equating that to a % risk of losing a block ... ... ... ...

I do mine solo at home  CK is my failover as I've said before. I would like to keep solo.ckpool active though and if fees go up, clients may go down, which will result in smaller overall take-home for CK.

Seems I'm in the minority though so raise it to 1 or 2%. I hope the numbers stay the same and more money flows into the pool. I've said my piece. I don't have anything else to add to the subject.

Your missing kano's point, what if your block got stale because your bitcoind was X secs slower then ck pool ?

[Belligerent Fool]

I reckon go to the 1% Fee at the start of next month so 1st Feb, it is true 1% of 25BTC is hardly anything, it will be a different story come halving though so I get where -ck is coming from.

Milliseconds slower maybe, but seconds slower? Not possible.

Heh - you really don't know too much about the numbers do you?

[bctmke]

Lack of research and making assumptions I suspect on his part.

Here is a link to see the seconds difference between the BIG pools on block notification.

http://poolbench.antminer.link/#

Your home bitcoind could be seeing new blocks as much to a whole minute behind the rest of the network.  This results in your miners working on work from the last block during the time it takes to realize a new block has been found.  This work is wasted as no new block can possibly be found on an old blocks work.

You can probably see the difference between your home solo mining attempt and ck's solo pool by just watching the cgminer interface during a block change.  If ckpool is your backup you will notice the announce of a new block will come from pool 1 well before your home bitcoind notices the block.

The fee -ck has been charging was fine for an experimental pool on very low end hardware.  The pool may still, technically, an experimental pool but has exceeded far beyond anyone's expectations.

So increasing the fee I think is just fine and required for the increased hardware and nodes.  Yes one can solo mine with Bitcoin-QT, but lets be realistic, Bitcoin-qt's reliability has been faltering since the 9.x versions.  I am currently running 11.2 and have it in my failover list's but it will spontaneously consume all RAM and max out the CPU.  I have to change the affinity every boot up so that it only consumes one physical thread (Core).

So solo mining only to ones local Bitcoin-qt just isn't feasibly reliable anymore if you have a large mining hardware investment, which I don't by the way.  So these and the previously mentioned reasons clearly show the value of this pool and more than ample justification for a fee increase.

Thank You -ck and Kano for your continuing and expanding contributions.

-ck, you need to put your fees up to 2%.  Even at the current reward of ~25BTC for solving a block, and.... if you found a block every month while charging 1%, that would yield ~250mBTC per month. Thats approx $100 USD, $142 AUD, or £72 GBP at today's prices.

My unlimited broadband connection costs £50 per month + the cost of electric (daily service charge of £0.75p that's £22 per month) and then £0.18 per KWh on top of that.  Even at 1%, I would be out of pocket and be working for free, and that's before my time and hardware is taken into account.

You owe it to your wife and family to do the best you can for them, they should come before your buddies on the board.  Don't give it away mate.  If it doesn't pay, your time is better spent with them than as a Bitslave.

Little blip right there on the "solo" node... DDoS active?

All quiet on the western front. Probably a network issue somewhere between you and the node.

3 mines, 3 different geographic places... could be a nationwide issue? Well... nvm, hashrate back up again
