[2015-07-11 07:25:24] Possible block solve diff 77216354250.960800 !
[2015-07-11 07:25:24] BLOCK ACCEPTED!
[2015-07-11 07:25:24] Solved and confirmed block 364822

This also confirms that 3* multisig addresses work fine

Is that the first multisig address to solve a solo block here?  Congrats!

if it was west/nicehash account:
from their page:
"Do NOT mine into this address directly! Mining payments to this address will be ignored and considered as donations! Also, do NOT use this wallet Bitcoin address for pool username when configuring your miner for mining on our stratum servers. Use your own personal or cloud Bitcoin wallets for mining. This is a deposit address only for buying hashing power. Thank you for understanding."

Not sure what that's got to do with this pool or that block solve... Is that a WH deposit address?

yea i have west/nice deposite address with 3J in first address..
i think its risky when use it for solo mining

Provided the wallet provider allows generated coins in your address, then solo ckpool supports mining to any valid bitcoin address. The warning in the previous message was that westhash said you could NOT mine to that address.

We have this in place so that our own miners don't mine into these deposit addresses. When they were doing this, we got extreme quantity of dust, which was hitting performance all over the place, so we decided to prevent this.

This being said; we do not prevent mining from other places to this account which means you can mine from here using our deposit address.

Is there a way to set difficulty directly on this pool?

If you're using cgminer you can use the --suggest-diff argument.

[kenwoll]

How I can confirm I am the one finding the block when using this pool? I am using cgminer. Thanks!

There is no need to do that con and kano are the most reputable members of the community. You will be absolutely safe.

Answering your question - read cgminer read me and learn how to use cgminer api -that does not survive to restarts of cgminer
the simplest what you can do is to check your BTC balance. And you will know that you are the one Who found a block.

Short answer.

In CGMiner, check your "Best Share:", if it's higher then current difficulty (DIFF: 51.1G at the moment), you probably got a valid block solve. (Might be also Stale or Orphaned meaning not valid)

You'll suddenly notice an additional 25 btc in your wallet.

I've Been getting a LOT of stale blocks on the solo pool over the past 3 days.

Can't see anything wrong at the pool end. Last person with lots of share issues was balancing hashrate to a merged mining pool mining random shit coins. Have you changed anything recently in your setup?

The miner that I see the stale share errors (few a day) is a 500GH/s BFL Monarch. Nothing special or new.

If it's just one rig, try it on another pool and see if it's just the miner. Quite a few mofarchs have gone dodgy by now. If it's okay on other pools, then PM me your mining address and I'll extract more debug info to see what specific rejects yours is getting. The pool configuration is unchanged for months now and should actually be lower latency than ever.

Don't sweat it. I'm not worried about it. It happens a few times a day I check the miner. NO need to go hogwild over a small miner like this.

I'm using cgminer 4.2.2 with a antminer usb stick on the pool but the --suggest-diff 1k  command doesnt work on my command line.
It says command not found ?
Is there a particular format for this command..

After a while the difficulty gets auto adjusted from ck pool to suit your devices I have noticed.
