Is it an antminer s3?

So far the pool has solved 110 blocks and hasn't had an orphan. While I've gone to great effort to optimise this pool to minimise the risk, nothing can entirely remove the risk of orphans given the way block solving works. It's a little scary to think about but at some stage someone will find a block and it will be orphaned...

thats always a risk with mining... but its accepted IMHO.  Halving the "value" of a block will a solve the hashrate growth problem for sure;  but the raise in value of BTC will keep it in check I think....  not right away;  but a short time after halving it will pick back up and normalize. (depending on how the value stabilizes or raises in the future)


I have hopes that my little Antminer U3 will hit a block;  if you see "1Q8H...KHQM" than know that a simple 63Gh machine just earned its keep.... lol.  I tried for months to get it to connect to and use a local bitcoind daemon, but for some reason it wouldn't generate any shares...   It was hooked to a PI with Minera... but for some reason after being online for a month straight;  Minera started rebooting the PI randomly, and then started acting like a mining device wasn't even plugged into USB no matter what I tried.   I knew this was happening because that same Pi was my VPN gateway as well.

I'm on the bandwagon for the 'mining' long haul.  I get free electricity;  so I have been slowly massing good mining equipment and hooking it up here and there =)

another sub note;   I have been putting share size on my small machines up high.   Share count means nothing;  share size is everything.  I think it will help on server overhead no?  Plus it keeps my logs compact to see what kind of time spacing between my big shares on them =)

congrats to 1PwftnJ5FhMhTb9dAY61oD2KE8VPvh9Qkt for the Block.

@ck: I think in a year, or one and a half, you will be one of the 7 bigest Pools because of the halfing of
Block reward and a lot of smaler pools will be closing because of that.

Thats Me!!!   Thank you!   I have a total of 34 Th usually mining at antpool or nicehash.  They were supposedly mining at Nicehash when one hit the block.  I set ckpool as the secondary pool on all  23 of my miners.

Congratulations! Good thing for you your primary pool was unstable and ckpool was its usual level of stability Enjoy!

Mr Kolivas,

My pleasure Sir, and thank you for creating this pool which gets no orphans (knock on wood, 8 more confirmations needed until spendable).    I think a tip is well deserved.  forgive me if this is posted elsewhere, what  BTC address should I send a donation to?

This feels really nice.  Makes paying those electric bills seem worthwhile again.

i didn't know until I logged into my blockchain wallet and WOW, my balance was up 25 BTC!  Maybe i will buy a couple new antminers...

Mr Kolivas,

It's actually Dr. Kolivas, but I prefer to just be called Con anyway.

Thanks! Any of my usual donation addresses listed in any of my software projects or the pool address are fine. The cgminer address is 15qSxP1SQcUX3o4nhkfdbgyoWEFMomJ4rZ

Nice for a rollover to hit.

@ Con  what's your phd in?

And pardon me for guessing it is a phd. Just an assumption on my part.

Respect for your work (on both)!

Can I ask what exactly does the share number relate to solving a block? I see everyone posting best shares and wondered if its always the same number or does it change with every new block found? Does higher hash rates equal higher shares?

[philipma1957]

Think of a share as a roll of magical dice.

So the roll can be as low as 0 or one. And the roll can be really big more then 100,000,000,000


61,000,000,000 or higher is a winner

As to bigger machines rolling higher no any machine can roll a winner but a faste more hash machine rolls more often in a small hash machine

[Cobra98]

Yeah but does it always have to be in the millions or billions or can simply be 100 or 10?

[philipma1957]

current diff is around 61,000,000,000 to win you need higher then that.

[Cobra98]

Ahh ok, I have seen million shares before with my little ol antminer usb sticks and was just curious how high the share had to be to win!

How much the quality of internet is matter for solo mining in this pool ? like ping,speed, distance and ...
I live in middle of Asia. how much my chance is lower than someone who lives is USA for mining in this pool ?
Thanks,
