Hello,
     I've been wanting to learn more about and do some Solo mining for a while now. I have a decent sized farm at 20PH and am about to grow that out. I just pointed 10 of my S9's over here and they are running fine. Finding the stats is easy. This sure seems like a really good opportunity. Question; Obviously 140 TH/s isn't much Hash. Is there a consensus on the level of Hashrate that needs to be put to the task that creates better luck/odds. I would guess it's pretty high like 30-40PH?? I can't point everything here but I would move a good piece if truly "more is better"? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

philipma1957 will break down the odds and details for you,  he'll see your post and comment soon

im thinking about 15-20Ph for a month should get you at 100 diff for that block,  but could get lucky and hit it in a week, or bad luck and take over a month to hit it

okay my advice is this.  if you earn 20,000 x .00001791 = 0.3582 btc a day mining on a "safe" pps+ pool

and your power costs are .1582   your current daily profit is 0.200 btc.

You could point it all 1 day a week the loss is 0.3582 on that day (assume a miss no blocks)

the other six days  your profits are 1.200   you net 1.200-0.3582 = 0.8418 a week vs 1.2 a week.

 you should hit a block doing this in around 35 weeks.

 If I had 20 ph  I would do it occasionally   you stand to gain by doing it.

If I had 100ph  I would do 70-90 on a pps+  and 10-30 here.

It  is in your favor to do it  but long  dry spells do occur.

Here I am on a different coin

Wow, thank you so much for your feedback. That's really pretty encouraging. I know there's no hard and fast rules in this arena, but my 20ph power cost is around $25,000.00. pretty good risk reward seems like.

Forgive my ignorance in Solo mining. Even though higher hash rate does nothing for individual miner's payout, does the volume of HR overall on the pool effect the general level of "Luck" on the pool for all members? Like in PPNS pools?

No. ref https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.msg52866169#msg52866169 1 page back.

Even in regular pools where users share the rewards when it comes to any single miner finding a block the odds are the same as if the miner was running solo over any given change in difficulty. Only difference is that there are more folks rolling the dice which vastly increases chances of the pool getting a block and when one pool user cracks a block all share it.

Remember -- no matter what, it is just ONE piece of hardware that finds the block be that hardware a stick running 100GHs or today's latest beasts pushing over 70TH. We just hope to be the owner of that machine. Cheesy

sometimes people will do a side deal.  Say you and I point 20ph each for a day.  


You hit  you  send me 2 coins
 I hit I send you 2 coins.

We used to get a lot more action when coins and diff were lower.

10 man teams .5 btc each  a 5 btc rental when coins cost 200 and blocks were 25 coins it was feasible.

we had 1 set of rentals we hit 2 blocks in 90 minutes

 50 coins spilt 10 ways  was nice

Hi,


Pointing an asicminer towards this "pool" we are told to use  solo.ckpool.org:3335  ...

Coming from Denmark, I'm noticing "Pick the server nearest you - Germany: mine to de.ckpool.org:3333" which makes me think that I should do this. But, am I getting this all wrong or do I just config my miner like this:   de.ckpool.org:3335  ??

Kind Regards,
Dan




http://solo.ckpool.org


Configuration:
Just point your miner to: stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 or port 443
Asicminer tube/prisma owners need to point to a special proxy at solo.ckpool.org:3335
If you use an incompatible rental service that refuses to work on port 3333 try port 4334

Set your username to your btcaddress with any or even no worker extension, and any password.
eg: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0 -p x
If you enter an invalid address you will be rejected

Pick the server nearest you!
Server locations:
US Mid: mine to solo.ckpool.org:3333
Germany: mine to de.ckpool.org:3333

Pool code and pool operated and created by Con Kolivas, creator of cgminer and ckpool.

Hi CK,


Thanks for your reply...


So this is the right format:

Server: solo.ckpool.org:3335
Username: btcaddress.worker
Password: x


BTW, I'm running a full node myself. Bitcoin Core, but on a windows rig. I'm building a system to run on Linux instead and when this is ready I would like to use this to be able to solomine myself. But, what do I need to do, to make this happen?
Yes, I know. Your answer would be in direct conflict with your interest in your full node service here.. But I'm asking anyway Wink

Thanks you for cgminer and this service too Wink

Kind Regards,
Dan

So I thought I would give the lottery a try today.  Enabled my NiceHash account and when I place an order I get a red message that User order temporary locked.  What does this mean and why can't I place an order?

I have done orders I am wondering if I can do an order today.

I moved in 0.0052 coins enough to do an order.  The format looks different.  It is hard to see if the coins are pending they are pending so I can not order yet.

Are your coins pending?

That happened to me and I had to contact support. Took them a couple of days, but they fixed it. No idea why it happened.

OK so I said screw it.  IF they don't want my 12PH rental I'll put the BTC back in my wallet.  Low and behold, my withdrawals are locked as well.  Seems that if you add F2A or change your password everything is locked for 7 days.
That friggan' SUCKS!!  So much for my 12PH rental and my BTC that is now locked there for a week.
