 Its just that this isn't the same as solo mining even though it is represented as "solo mining".


As your knowledge grows, your vernacular will become refined. Whilst blurring the implied indifference of clarification.

It is solo mining, the only difference being you are not mining against your own node and you are using Ck's architecture which should increase your chance of a successful block solve being accepted by the network, in exchange for 1% of the block reward.  From the home page:

Quote
Advantages over regular solo mining:
Mining at solo.ckpool.org avoids the overheads of running a full bitcoin node that requires both great storage and bandwidth for optimal performance.
Solo.ckpool.org is extensively connected to high speed low latency bitcoin nodes for rapid block change notification and propagation.
Unlike regular pools, ckpool never mines transaction-free blocks due to its ultra-scaleable code which has miners on both new blocks and transactions concurrently.

I don't see how that's relevant as solo mining, such as mining to your own wallet, is different than this "solo mining".  It wasn't a matter of vernacular, it was a matter of solo.ckpool.org changing the behaviour of the program such that it deviated from what one would normally expect from regular solo mining.

Yes, but if a block is "accepted" via normal solo mining, then that means you found A solution to the actual block.  On ckpool, your submissions are "accepted" but are not necessarily actual solutions to the block.  Or at least that's per your communication.

There are no configuration options and all miners will initially start out at diff 1024 but" the pool" offers full vardiff support from ultra low speed devices to any sized massive pooled solo farms. While shares have no intrinsic value at all with this solo mining, they provide useful feedback to miners wishing to monitor their performance locally.

Right, I didn't see that post on the first page for some reason and I had actually read through...well...I guess most of them on the first page, I would say all of the page but I guess i would have seen that had I done so.

Your understanding is the same as mine and appears correct.  CKsolo functions like all pools do, in that it "accepts" shares regardless of if they are greater than network difficulty, and like I mentioned (and CK is quoted above) this is shown as feedback so you can see your miner working.

You could set the vardiff to equal network difficulty, then you would only see an accepted share if it had the potential to be a block solve.

Additionally a lot of drivers internally use the share counter to give you the hashrate of the device and if no shares are ever accepted they won't display a meaningful hashrate. Shares mean "your share of the block reward" on a regular pool but they do not mean that on this pool since only the block finder gets the block reward (minus my fee.)

Have a small number of s3 miners I pointed at the pool they all use the same worker name the BTC address.  

I guess when doing this they work as single units?

Would I need to use the proxy code to connect the miners into a consolidated connection?

Some advice on setting DIFF for the miners would help also as I see they all seem to have vared DIFF reading.

None of this matters. Single unit or spread out it makes no difference, it's only a matter of choice on your part as to how you wish to tell them apart on the pool (or not.) The only reason to proxy them would be to decrease your internet bandwidth requirements. Vardiff also will have no effect either. Just let them mine away.

If it's not too much effort, yes, there were some worthwhile improvements in his changes but no magic performance increases.

Congratz to the lucky blocker!

Would that be a large rental that hit the block?

No, (s)he's been hashing long term on this solo pool and cracked quite a few blocks over an extended period.
