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

[citronick]

I was going to send a PM again to ck but thought maybe I'd ask for a community answer to have the opinion of different people, I'm trying to rent a few rigs and gamble a little of my funds on this.

I tried miningrigrentals and I had a miner with a slightly high rejection rate, ck told me it's probably the firmware of the miner and I'm inclined to believe him. I was going to try nicehash now, I used this : https://api.nicehash.com/poolver.jsp

Error: Difficulty too low.
Your pool is shown as incompatible therefore we encourage you to contact pool operator to make sure that the pool is using minimal/starting pool share difficulty which is compatible with our service (and thus compatible with today's miners), please send them following link: https://www.nicehash.com/help/which-mining-pools-are-supported. Thank you!

Can this be related to the fact that ckpool solo hasn't hit a block in months? I'm honestly a complete noob with miners so I'm just here asking for more info. Thanks.

You should read the main post on page 1.

====

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

as citronik said above.   
if you do some reading all the asnwers are here
thank you -ck

the regular address gets blocked due to low diff

but port 4334 working like a charm at 1000000 diff

Hello.
I need to point my miner to: stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
Is it correct to write like this in miner (antminer s9): "solo.ckpool.org:3333" without "stratum+tcp://"
Do I need to rewrite all my miners? Now they are working like this "solo.ckpool.org:3333" without "stratum+tcp://"
What is the difference?

stratum+tcp is the difference!
you should use: stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333

[xasmer]

But what is the difference?

[gOCe]

Well in strict sense you need to CONNECT at:
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333

What you TYPE depends on your firmware.

You can type any of this 4:

stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
solo.ckpool.org:3333
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333#xnsub
solo.ckpool.org:3333#xnsub

the thing is you cant CONNECT whitout stratum+tcp://
BUT most of the firmwares just add it for you (check on the miner status and you see is already there)

And the most important thing is the status "Alive" in "Miner Status"

But what is the difference?

And this is correct for european miners, right?

stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333

[gOCe]

Yes

stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333#xnsub

Any of this must work.

But also if you want check the real latency.

To check how close nodes are to you, you need to use a tcp ping program, since some of the nodes you can't use a standard ping.

On windows, check here for psping that will do a tcp ping: Microsoft psping https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psping
e.g. psping -4 -n 10 de.ckpool.org:3333
      psping -4 -n 10 solo.ckpool.org:3333

Yes

stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333#xnsub

Any of this must work.

Hello Everyone!
   I have been looking around and can't seem to find a solid answer to this. What message will cgminer present if I discover a block? I'm sorry if this has already been answered, I just can't seem to find the answer on here. I know ck will post in this forum when someone gets a block and of course I would just keep my eye on my BTC wallet, but I was just curious what would be presented in cgminer.

   Sorry for the super noob question, I'm just happy to be here and to be a part of this. 

Thank you so much!

Bitcguru77, thank you so much for shining some light on this along with providing an example image.

Much appreciated!

"Found Block!" is probably something a lot of people have never seen in their whole lifetimes I hope ckpool finds their block soon, it's been way too long.

"Found Block!" is probably something a lot of people have never seen in their whole lifetimes I hope ckpool finds their block soon, it's been way too long.

Especially in 2019 mining BTC with a GPU  

[achkn]

Still mining anyway. Let someone find a block

I have seen them, but only when mining some random altcoin. Chance of finding a block by yourself, even when using the latest asic unit or a farm of them, is abysmal, and its only getting smaller. I guess its the same as playing the lottery, but i bet someone will calculate that it is in fact easier to win the lottery

[ghostofgoa]

Why is it not possible to check my stats at solo.skpool?
There is always the message "The requested URL /users/ghostofgoa was not found on this server."
By using the BTC address its the same problem.
I use the easyminer for mining with your pool and uses this username.
Can you help me?

If you see the pool accept your shares, just wait for a day. It took almost 24h before i could start seeing my live stats

[mikeywith]

i know this is off-topic , and any further discussion should be done in your thread, sadly it's self-moderated so anything to be said there might be deleted, i commented there to discuss the matter with you,i hope my comment won't be deleted but i am posting this to warn everybody that they must NOT send any bitcoin to you or anybody else without any means of ESCROW.

any further discussion on this subject should be done on your thread and I hope that you do not censor any legitimate questions or opinions.
