Hey User,

If you provide your Bitcoin address to anyone, they will be able to make a bitcoin payment to you.

Thanks,

Is generating bitcoins the same as a payment?

Nope, it's not, and that doesn't give a lot of confidence in the response of the above mentioned service.

do I need to install a wallet on my PC ?

My advice to all of you is - you are using a distributed cryptocurrency whose strength is the ability to do away with the need for intermediaries and banks, so don't go looking for a bank. By all means learn how to properly secure and back up a wallet yourself before storing lots of money on your own PC, but use the cryptocurrency the way it was meant by using your own light or full node wallet. Install a wallet now and play with it with small amounts, but take my full advice of what else is required to make the most of it.

THIS!

You guys mining should have a real wallet and not be trusting some "Mt Gox" copy to hold your coins for you. I wrote a detailed set of instructions on how to use Armory to have 100% safe, backed up, and recoverable coins plus there's many other wallets out there that are safe and don't belong to some idiot company.

If you're storing your BTC at any place besides YOUR HOUSE then you're really not storing your BTC. You're just accessing someone elses until they decide to stop you from doing so. The one with the private keys is the owner.

I use bitcoin core at home for a full node and wallet, and I use bitcoin wallet on my phone (does not rely on 3rd party servers or systems).  Keep bitcoin decentralized and only rely on yourself for keeping your wallet maintained!  You'll learn more that way, too.

You'll learn more AND lose less.

Even I've lost 15BTC in the past to MtGox and Weex just due to using them to exchange BTC->$

But leaving all your BTC in someone else's wallet - yep that's just waiting for someone to take it from you.

I now using bitcoin core on my pc, how much bandwidth will this wallet will be using by month ?

I now using bitcoin core on my pc, how much bandwidth will this wallet will be using by month ?  

This may be helpful. It's a line you add to bitcoin.conf

Reduce upload traffic

A major part of the outbound traffic is caused by serving historic blocks to other nodes in initial block download state.

It is now possible to reduce the total upload traffic via the -maxuploadtarget parameter. This is not a hard limit but a threshold to minimize the outbound traffic. When the limit is about to be reached, the uploaded data is cut by not serving historic blocks (blocks older than one week). Moreover, any SPV peer is disconnected when they request a filtered block.

This option can be specified in MiB per day and is turned off by default (-maxuploadtarget=0). The recommended minimum is 144 * MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (currently 144MB) per day.

Whitelisted peers will never be disconnected, although their traffic counts for calculating the target.

A more detailed documentation about keeping traffic low can be found in /doc/reduce-traffic.md.

you have to make one, in %APPDATA%/Bitcoin/

Also, it seems there's a -onlyblocks option now, to stop transactions from eating bandwidth.... that alone reduces 80% bandwidth requirements. (although to see a payment, you have to wait a block).

ck pool down ? getting 503 error on website and MRR rentals lost hashrate and I have all 3 pools there even for backup.

Looks like a major connectivity issue at the data centre. De is still working but obviously stats are offline.

EDIT: I've temporarily put the old DE only stats server back online at de.ckpool.org until the master pool connectivity is resolved

Looks like it's back online now. Mine on.

Thank you for the information. So I want do be away from the Blockchain online Wallet.

Whats about the Ledger Nano | Bitcoin Hardware Wallet USB Stick? Can I use this wallet for Solo-Mining on the CK Pool?


Thank You very much

Here is the reply that I got for Coinbase.com

I’m not sure if by generation transactions if you mean newly minted coins? If that is what you mean, then yes, we do support them, but like any newly minted bitcoin. you’ll need to wait 100 blocks before you can transact with them.
I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions, and thanks for using Coinbase.

That still don't tell me if it is good or not, now I started Bitcoin Core in pruning mode and again it is a lot a bandwidth, MY ISP allow me only 130 gig a month
Is there a alternative wallet ? I would like to go back to solo.ckpool

you may want consider a web wallet. Check out holytransaction.com
my ck-solo block went to this web wallet BTC address.

...

They answered you pretty clearly that yes, they support newly minted coins, i.e. a generation transaction.

There are some posts in the forum that show how much bandwidth a full node uses, plus there are ways to limit traffic to reduce your bandwidth, try a search for those threads.

I'm pretty sure you could get by with a light wallet like Multi-bit and be fine. That still lets you control your coins, but you don't have to run a full node to make it work (IIRC).

I also contacted coinbase.com too and I asked:

Code:

I am planning to solo mine bitcoins, does our coinbase.com wallet address accept freshly found mined bitcoins directly? 

and their response was:

Code:

We sure do allow acceptance of newly mined bitcoins. You can use any of your addresses found here to deposit what you have mined. https://www.coinbase.com/addresses

So I am taking that as a yes that coinbase.com wallet address are safe for solo.ckpool.org? Or to be really sure, anyone solo mined with a coinbase.com wallet address that hit a solo block from solo.ckpool.org want to verify that they received their coins and nail this once and for all?

Do you guys not have computers at all? Anyone mining should have their own wallet. Period. Not some rent-a-wallet from some online supplier that can just take your coins and claim "Oops, dey got stoleded. Srry!". Run Multi-bit and it takes about 8 mb of space. Run Bitcoin core if you have space and bandwidth to run a full node, then use Armory for a secure wallet. It's not rocket science.

I understand where your mind is at, but that is not the point, everyone has their own choices, what people are trying to determine is if in fact coinbase.com accepts generation transactions or not and I was asking if anyone that used a coinbase.com wallet that found a solo block received their BTC to prove that statement or not. Knowledge is always good.

I didn't ask, is it wise to use coinbase.com wallet...

The implication was there. You trust someone else to hold your coins and you're just asking for another Mt. Gox scandal.
