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

[o_solo_miner]

Hello all... I'm hoping someone can help me out here.  I just set up a small ttbit miner on the pool, however - when I try to view statistics I'm getting a 404 not found error.  The miner is connected and running fine - I just can't get to my stats.  Has anyone experienced this problem before?  and if you have solved the problem how did you do it?  Thanks in advance...

You probably haven't even submitted a single share if it's a very small miner. Alternatively you're mining at the wrong pool (ckpool.org).

I just verified that I'm mining on the correct pool (solo.ckpool.org) and it looks like I have submitted at least one share as I can see a best share of 6.4K in the cgminer software.  Not exactly sure what the problem is here.

You haven't submitted a single share. They start at 10k. It's exactly the problem I told you it was.

Got it - thanks!

Try to start cgminer like this, and you will see shares at about 1-10 min. after starting:
./cgminer -c cgminer.conf --gekko-2pac-freq 100 --suggest-diff 7

Note that the '--suggest-diff 7' is just the start value then, the pool automaticly adjust that afterwards.

last block was found using i believe a 12Ph rental

chance with 3Th
Chance per block: 1 in 30,854,191
Chance per day: 1 in 214,265
Time estimate: 587 years

Chance with 300Th
Chance per block: 1 in 308,542
Chance per day: 1 in 2,143
Time estimate: 6 years

thank's for explanation. so far away from my status, but this chance still open. anyone to found a block. maybe for status my hasrate need Time estimate : 587 years chance me to found a block. but if lucky maybe today or tomorrow if i mine on solo.ckpool.org/.

Yes, thats the thing about a lottery,  anyone of us can hit the block today, tomorrow, in a week, or not for another 6 months, or maybe even never.  considering this difficulty climb.   Its all a matter of luck
So solo mine on

Hi all. As part of my spring cleaning I will be restarting this server as well in an hour to freshen things up a little. Downtime should be negligible.

[Lerence]

i am new here. i need help to start mining now i have bitcoin core wallet and my all miner started to mine. need anything else please tell me?
tell me about CKPOOL configuration like bitcoin.conf file. is this settings recomended for mining?

Restart completed uneventfully. Mine on.

What are you mining with and you know this is a solo pool right?, you dont get nothing for your machines pointed at this pool, not even if it hits a block.
Unless its your mining address..

So that being said, give us a little more information

Lets ramp up some PH here again Fellas....
Threw a couple at it today..

that's sure, we're here to solve block.
the best place to test your luck  12.5 before halving next year.

And what happens after halving? Will Bitcoin get cheaper? Or more expensive? How will this affect the complexity of the network? Many questions, few answers)

Difficulty will fall for a bit and then eventually rise back to where it was, and then keep rising. The value of bitcoin people will tell you all sorts of things about, but in my opinion the two are not linked in any way, and any associations people have made with bitcoin value and halving is just associating coincidental movements. I believe the value is dissociated and unrelated.

nice point ck, demand and supply That's it.

My goodness, a voice of reason amongst the din. Jeesus...people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them this. Not to mention the ridiculous assumption that BTC goes up before the halving due to " Less Supply". Huh?? Less supply??? No it is still 21 million. Likely you will see MORE BTC for sale as poorly managed farms go under and liquidate their assets. ( BTC ).

[philipma1957]

Yeah   with 18,000,000 loose and 3,000,000 restricted.  we have a supply of 21,000,000

At least 2,000,000  are early coins

So 16,000,000 easy access.

Maybe 1,000,000 of them are lost.

Still makes 15,000,000 that can be moved and shifted with ease.

So  dishing out

 2016 x 12.5 = 25,200 coins a jump.
 2016 x 6.25 = 12,600 coins a jump.

12,600 coins do not make much difference in the easy to get mined coins.

does make a difference for a miner. 

does make a difference for a builder like bitmain.

I have always felt   that the 3.125 jump  will be the key jump.

not this one.  As the reward to transaction ratio in a 3.25 block  will be critical.

[MoparMiningLLC]

the way I see it, even with a well managed farm, if the rewards half and btc remains where it is, it will still be hard for the farm to stay afloat. Their profit will be cut - by more than half, because what is being cut in half is the revenue not the profit, so their profit may be cut by more than half easily.

I think I will still be ok because at least my machines are way more efficient with using the T17/S17 vs the S9's

Why not. 2.625.000?

A lot, if not all, of the big farms started when btc price was less than $500/BTC; I think they will remain profitable for some time to come...

btc value is not the issue at hand - profitability is.

You state they were profitable when BTC was under $500 that was also when BTC reward was 50 BTC not 25 BTC as BTC was at around $650 when the 2nd halving occurred. Though it was at around $300 about a year before the 2nd halving - if I recall correctly.

What I mean is revenue, which will control the profit. However, there is more to revenue than just the BTC value. There is the transaction fees - which could go up and or down, there is the difficulty when it dips the amount of BTC per TH earnings increases and if the difficulty increases the amount of BTC per TH decreases.



but as with the prior halvings it has shown that with the decreased issuance of BTC has caused the value of BTC to increase to match the supply/demand of the market.

but if the BTC value does not increase accordingly than there has to be some way for the farms to keep the revenue up.  One of the things working for that is the increased efficiency of the newer miners.  For years the efficiency was around 80J/TH but now with miners getting around 40J/TH - This increase in efficiency will help boost revenue by reducing the cost.

There are many factors indeed and farms will work to remain in the green, of that I agree. But if BTC value goes down instead of going up - it will still tax even the best of farms.

I should have went more in depth with my thoughts -and I acknowledge that this is my opinion and could be entirely wrong - but as with all speculation, it is just that speculation.
