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

[-ck]

ahhh i get you! With that in mind, how fast are CK Pool block changes on average? I mine here solo for this reason and because you have integrity but i am curious as to the exact average time for block changes.

By far the fastest of any full verifying node pool. Block verification and work building time is on average 140ms from notification of a new block.

Note there are other pools that get new work out faster (like the Chinese pools) but they do NOT verify the blocks and build empty block work on top which is a security threat, can potentially cause an invalid fork of the blockchain, and does not confirm any pending transactions so is bad for bitcoin on multiple levels. This site (when it's working - currently stalled on an old block) shows block change speeds, and you'll see solo ckpool is the fastest after the non-verifying pools: https://poolbench.antminer.link/ Note it's hosted in the USA so it's about block change speeds to USA miners specifically.

How do I withdraw in solo.ckpool.org? if indeed withdraw min 12.5 BTC, why my income (Accepted: 14.42636558 BTC) has not also pay into my wallet? explanation please.... thanks

Note that if you do not find a block, you get no reward at all with solo mining.

Please don't quote entire posts for no good reason.

Read the part I left in the quote very carefully. I have no idea where you got "accepted 14.4" BTC from; there's no such measurement or accounting response from this solo pool.

Your so polite...

Still soloing away with my 4 compacs at a total of 55GH.

Best share is just shy of 1 billion at 886954978.

I've promised myself I'll order a pizza as soon as I break the 1 billion mark

How long have they been running ?

I've got 2 x 2pacs from sidehack OTW...

Sorry to plug him but "SUPORT SIDEHACK" in building miners for our community

DUDE I LOVE solochance.com !

I've donated once and will again thank you

Roughly a year now. I'm waiting for the biggie, will definitely get one of those!

I agree sidehack and ck have done great things for this community!

Wow thanks a lot man!  I look to add more functionality at some point!

A reminder if you're looking at the total accepted shares at the pool at the moment, it did not properly reset on the last block found so there are 754G extra shares there. As you know, though, the last block found time is not a predictor of when the next block will be found, but I know people still like looking at the numbers (and some people think they can gleam something useful from them.)

[-ck]

Not much happening so I may as well commit yet more updates to the pool meaning there will be further restarts within the next hour (and your stats may reset along with it again.)

All complete, mine on!

I brook my bad chance now. I believe we will found 2 blocks until 27th January (1PVzpVehisitghFCjk87m6qJ35UizAa1BB)

Well with a 16.64% increase in difficulty and another 15% or so that might be coming in the next jump, solo mining is getting to be ridiculous odds......   never the less I will run my little S5 at half rate, just for fun.....

[sarakuka]

I'm mining on slushpool and planing this week to stop and going to try some solo mining at de.ckpool.org for some months since in EU de.ckpool.org i think is better.

Atm I have 50ths with my Antminers S9 & S7 and extending every month.

I also have some BTC that I'm willing to invest on renting some hash from miningrentals. I know it is up to luck still but more hashrate chances are better.

My question is with my 50ths and If I will rent 130THs for 100-200h should I start with all the max ths 180ths from the beginning or is it better to start first with 50THS that I have from my miners leave it for some weeks or months and then do a push with 130THS from renting for 100-200hours.

Thanks

The longer you wait, the higher the network difficulty will be.

[Eagleone]

I've got 25TH on here for 2 months now adding more all the time. I figure it's a year long investment planning to do it for any less time is unrealistic.

After a year I'll be so far in I'll have to keep it up till I solve a block then call it a loss and go back to the pool

I'd say solo mining has been ridiculous odds for years so it's really nothing different on that front; it's still a gamble - high risk for potentially high rewards (and a little exciting too.)

It doesn't matter how you spread out your hashing, your chance of finding a block is simply related to the total hashes. However as Mike pointed out

The longer you wait, the higher the network difficulty will be.

This is the main risk you take if you spread your hashes beyond the current difficulty period, and diff will continue to rise for some time yet.

I will point all my THS to my only one of my btc adress: 192FAn5iGZiang9B6WAd9Vsx5Uzq64Rpp5 I will not spread. What did you mean about spread.?
I know it's better to have them all together at one worker one BTC address all the hash I have.

I will config my miners that I own and the hash that I will rent with the following config as you can see here in my example.

example:
url: de.ckpool.org:3333
username: 192FAn5iGZiang9B6WAd9Vsx5Uzq64Rpp5
pwd: none

Thanks

By spread, he means you are better off having your hash all within a given difficulty period instead of having it cross multiple difficulty adjustments.

Let's assume the difficulty adjustment just happened and you were going to rent 50TH for 30 days.  You would be better off renting 150TH for 10 days.  At the end of your rentals, you've still gotten the same number of hashes, but with the second option, all of that happened at the current network difficulty.

Great. I have one more thing I would need your advice guys.

I see a lot of post here that mostly S9 found a block. I'm planing to buy 20x Antminer s7 is it worth, if i will be solo mining at ckpool?

I'm more interested in Antminers S7 since I find them way cheaper free shipping used no customs tax and electricity  is very cheap in my country so electricity is not a problem for me.
I did buy and own 2 Antminer S9 11&13ths and they did cost. For 1 Antminer S9 11ths with customs and shipping I paid totally 2900$.
With 2900$ I can buy like 10x Antminer S7.

Can i buy 20x Antminers S7 for solo mining! Maybe I should better get only Antminers S9!

Thanks

Unless it's faulty, any hardware whatsoever can find a block. It doesn't matter what it is, only total hashes matter as I originally said.
