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

[HagssFIN]

So I recently set up my new Antminer S5 to start solo mining here. I don't have this connected to my PC as it's at my shop. My question is how do I know if it's found a block so   I know not to unplug it or something... I've been mining for only a couple weeks at Slushpool so I'm still learning lol.

1. You will notice the additional 12.5 +. BTC on your wallet.
2. Check the FoundBlocks at the miner status page.

You can kinda say that you have found a block, but in a parallel universe)
How much did you spent on your lottery?

$480 a day is an awful expensive lottery buy-in.

True, but you never know!!
I miss the days when you actually had a chance with a 50T rental.  It was a WTF moment.

my first block here was early last year.... when I was cleaning my 5 x S7s and before putting them on kano pool; i decided to put them on solo overnight. The next morning I was about to make the pool changes then I was interrupted by the Fedex man ringing the doorbell. After getting my package... went to my desktop... and I see 25 BTC pending in my wallet.. WTF!!!

Anyone have recent stats of people mining here?

Took the dive recently on some S9s.  Two purchases 1 , then 2 more.  And low-and-behold hit a block on the 1st S9 last week after having it plugged in for ~10 days!!!  Kicking myself because I was going back and forth on solo-mining while building a box for the 3 units.  Ended up mining on slush...  MONGOLIANS!!!!

For the long-time miners here, what are the odds of hitting blocks solo-mining since the halving???

It obviously depends on your hashrate and the difficulty at the time of mining:
www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator/

Obviously it can vary greatly as it is a random process, but this will show you the odds and the odds are against you unless you have a huge hashrate. If you are willing to gamble, then you may aswell play red/black in a casino where the house only has a 2.7% advantage over the player (european version).

Well the pool hasn't solved any blocks of late so just for some interest here's poolbench which is showing block speed changes to a client in USA (slow to load):
https://poolbench.antminer.link/
Note solo pool being the fastest of the full verifying node pools, and that de is actually faster on change than main solo since the server upgrade. All the ones above it mine empty unverified blocks.

Now all we need is a few blocks sprinkled around to make the most of that rapid block propagation/change...
