Your pool is shown as incompatible therefore we encourage you to contact pool operator to make sure that the pool is using minimal/starting pool share difficulty which is compatible with our service (and thus compatible with today's miners), please send them link to our FAQ on this topic: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqb3. Thank you!

Try port 4334 for rentals.

EDIT: CK was faster

I believe about a month a go the same question appeared and CK said to use port 4334

Another very lucky and very fat block   23.35 BTC is by far the largest reward seen on a block on the solo pool in the 12.5BTC block reward days.

I wish I could be so lucky! That guy was mining with a couple of asic miners, I guess, and then he has rented some Phs...

I'm thinking its entirely a rental. Notice no worker names? That means he was using the 4334 rental port.

Those pages are probably outdated in this regard. I updated the second one to include some more ports and to change the block reward from 25 btc to 12.5 btc about a month a go. That means that before me the pages weren't updated for at least a year since the block halvening was about mid 2016.

It's nowhere in my current documentation and that's all that is relevant. Wikis go out of date very quickly I'm afraid...

Holy crap! 10.85445524BTC in fees  .

Congrats to 1B5nA9AyLxtRmA16S4YCXR5D1r9Z9j1wBg.

Daaaaaayyyyyuuuuummmm

why's the fee so high  ?

[ComputerGenie]

why's the fee so high  ?

Short answer:
Because that's what people are willing to pay.

Please excuse my newbie question - I've been using pools for a while but I am new to solo mining... I searched but I couldn't find an answer anywhere:

If I mine on solo.ckpool.org, how do I find out if I found a block? Is there any way to find out/get notified if you found a block other than the payment (eventually) arriving in your wallet? That seems weird given that the information (I suppose) should be available to the operator of the pool, it is also shown (as statistics) on blocktrail.com, but it seems like it is not being shown anywhere to the users mining on ckpool. All I can see is the (very basic) stats of the ongoing hash, but not the result (if any).

Am I missing something?

Nope you're not missing much, except one fairly major point - when a block is found, it appears instantaneously (not eventually) in the user's wallet as it's generated directly at their address thus bypassing any pool wallets or waiting for payouts or incurring any extra fees. Since it appears instantly, I can't possibly notify the block finder any faster than that. As for more information, the pool is intentionally no frills and extremely high performance. A list on a page is not going to bring you the block any easier, it just incurs overhead and ultimately is of zero utility. This forum is where all the public notifications occur and we cheer each other on instead of it being impersonal.

I understand and it makes complete sense. I didn't know that the payment was nearly instant, so understanding that makes any other display of result superfluous indeed.

Thank you very much for the quick and helpful reply!

I'm trying to understand the best share and how it relates to luck. What qualifies as a good best share?

A "best share" is nothing more than the largest share your miners have contributed. It doesn't have any actual correlation to anything (other than "bragging rights"). A "good" best share is relative to hashrate and time. At the current difficulty, a truly good best share is one that's greater than 1,196,792,694,098.  

It's as CG says here, it is only for bragging rights, but if you wish to know what a good best share is then the following explanation will help you understand better.

After 100 shares, on average your best share should be 100.
After 1,000,000 shares, on average your best share should be 1,000,000.
After 1,200,000,000,000 shares, on average your best share should be that too, meaning you should have found one block with it. That's why on average it takes current diff number of shares to find one block.

If your best share is less than the total number of shares you've contributed, then your luck is a little low, and vice versa. It has absolutely zero bearing on your chance of finding an ultra lucky best share in the very next share, but it's interesting to watch nonetheless.

Sorry folks - newbie question:

I've got a few block erupters pointed here, so pretty much the minimum hashpower one is allowed to participate with while I figure out the intricacies of mining before I point some more hash power at it. I love the idea of solo mining and using a pool like this is great for those of us who can't figure out how to run our own full node and do it independently. My total shares are over 100K at this point, but my best ever is only 30K - which seems a bit of a difference from expected based on the explanation above, and I'm not sure I can attribute this to pure luck.

My difficulty is being assigned by the pool as a 1/1, and I only occasionally break through with a higher number. I've seen multiple times on this thread that this is merely for confirmation that one is mining and doesn't actually change your chances of finding a block. Its still based on overall hashpower. My question is if difficulty is the TARGET (ie, the correct mining solution must be a number above the target difficulty), how can difficulty be assigned to a miner from the pool? Is it merely a representation of my successful hash's difficulty level (ie, most of my successful hashes are difficulty 1)? Is my difference between total shares and best ever share a reflection of my low hash power and random variance, or my allocation of work by the pool?

Hey I'm using Coinminery for windows 10 and my Log says "Block found"... does that mean I found the block or just someone in the pool found the block?

Likely it means someone found a block on the network, not even in the pool. If the pool found a block, you'd see a lot of posts here congratulating the finder.

It's highly unlikely you'll find a block with your PC, and you shouldn't even be using GPU or CPUs on the pool
