Congratulations to 174yX8zgevuCtcGjKnhEVEHXVEYPDJEC3C !

Looking through the logs the pool was about 80TH at the time when this miner found the block. In keeping with maintaining as much anonymity as the miner may desire, I won't say how much his or her hashrate was (no I don't know who they are).

I might also mention it was a nice fat block at 927kb with >0.2BTC in transaction fees

Keep on mining

So, may I ask, Kano, how did you find the link to the found block in blockchain?

I'm still kind of a newb...

I have a popup that tells me when 3 pools find blocks.
My pool (of course), Con's solo and hashmine - my popup is generic for all 3 so I know about all 3.
It's simply a check of the coinbase txn for the text ckpool
When I don't see my pool wallet txn notify shortly after the popup, I know it's not my pool and then simply look at blockchain

However, as Gws24 said, just checking that address (Con's donation from the solo pool) will see the blocks ... once you know a block was found

lol, actually wanted to edit my post saying that you and con probably had some sort of alarm set for a block. Guess I was right

And for my method knowing that a block is found: Because I'm mining here I check the pool's address once a day to see if a block has been found. Not as fast of a notification as your pop-up but it works. And ofcourse this thread usually mentions it as well.

According to http://solo.ckpool.org/users/174yX8zgevuCtcGjKnhEVEHXVEYPDJEC3C, it's currently ~35.5T with 54 workers.

I knew someone would figure the obvious way to get that much out of it. I can make some assumptions based on when people join the pool on this forum thread and how much hashrate appears on the pool who they are but generally speaking I don't know whose hashrate is whose.

I would assume that you are a trusted person on the forum though.  Creator of cgminer, linux contributor, and you have your own wiki page...

Can I mine with a Block Erupter?  I mean it, seriously. Can one BE gets me 'in the door' like a dollar lottery ticket?
The odds..I know. But would it work?

yes

[os2sam]

in the example:

eg: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0 -p x


There is a .0 at the end of the address.  What is this for?  I am assuming I should just use my address for the username without a .0

Yes, the .0, .1,... are for separate workers for the same bitcoin address/user.

And only if you want to use different workers so you can monitor each miner seperately. I personally don't use it.

the math is really difficult 1 out of 180,000 for a day.  but these cost me very little to mine about 5 cents a day.

so for 5 cents a day why not

If you want the math to seem easier try my pool calc page - that's been around for a very long time
Just enter your hash rate as the pool and as your miner to see the details from both points of view - as it is here
(note that the pool is TH/s but the miner is GH/s)
