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

...
How efficient is cgminer on an S3 or S5 at splitting its time among two pools?  When you choose "balanced" or "load balanced", do you leave " a little on the table"?  I would like to point half my miner to this solo pool and half to kano pool.  If the machines do not operate optimally under these conditions, I may reconsider. Will this lead to more unaccepted/stale shares?

No idea why you think cgminer would lose anything extra in this configuration (no idea about other miners)
It doesn't lose shares/work ... or anything extra from using multiple pools.

Though I do mean cgminer, not the hacked versions of cgminer produced by others, that I can not vouch for at all since they seem to often do stupid things in their versions.

Okay, to put it another way.... does the over head of managing two pools (or three) erode the efficiency of the limited processing power of the on-board cpu enough to make it less efficient than it otherwise would only communicating with one pool?

Don't get me wrong... I like your answer!  It makes a hobbyist like me able to multi-plex my pool allegiance without getting penalized!

I get that you say the answer is 'no', but I question the computing power of the little onboard ARM cpu.  It can walk and chew gum....

It's fine. It takes virtually no more cpu power to speak to 2 pools concurrently.

hmm some reason when i do it on my s3 i get a TON of rejects on pool 2 and 3.
its like its taking the work of pool 1, submitting it to 2 and 3 and they reject it.

ill turn it on for a few and show a screenshot.

edit here is screen shot..
if you notice pool 2 is not accepting almost half the work. every time i refresh the page i get about 30 more rejects 
this is antpool normally i get about 1 or 2 rejects a day..
if i leave it run for awhile. eventually pool 3 will start doing the same thing. i am using the cgminer from nicehash.

I'm not sure exactly what all the numbers mean on the status page, but when I'm mining at solo.ckpool and kano.is and after ~40 hours I get:

GetWorks     Accepted     Diff1#         DiffA#        DiffR#     Rejected     Discarded
6,272           39,247        17,802,130  9,513,774    6,534      27              933,561
5,712           45,135         1,417,002   9,534,231    4,240     20               902,894
 

Are the discards too high?

Discards are pretty much meaningless for anything but vaguely measuring wasted CPU on the miner.
(I removed all the crap from my S2 firmware I released coz there's plenty of "ignore" data on the Bitmain miner web pages)

Very nice solo solve, if you're in the US then perfect for the up coming holiday weekend!

Well,

   I guess I'm gonna throw my measly 14th at the pool.. Wish me luck!  lol

just throw one technobit dice to the pool, good luck guys

Thanks!  And good luck yourself!

But wait... Where is the entire block?.. 

[Gws24]

that transaction isn't from the solo pool. You sure you didn't name some other pool which is also using the ckpool back-end, like kano.is, ckpool? Post the tx-id so we can have a look.

[Mikestang]

But wait... Where is the entire block?..  

ckpool is open sourced and used all over the place; it is not the name of a single pool.

Isn't that the label he would have given that Bitcoin address?

This pool didn't find a block yesterday anyway.

That's correct.  It's a label he assigned to that address.  He could have labeled it "I like beer" and it wouldn't make a difference.  Chances are it's just some spam transaction.  Rabinovitch, post the TxID.  Maybe something can be discerned from it.

He's been online on the forum earlier after Gws24's post and again now.
Clearly he's not interested in it - so just ignore it.

whats the lowest hash on here to solve a block? just wondering if its worth running my 3x S1s on here...

I think in the last 6 months there was someone with roughly 1 TH to hit it.

Didn't somebody hit with 880GH/s or something a while back?  Pretty sure that was here...
