We'd like to give special thanks to:
Con Kolivas - Core project lead, maintainer, author of ckpool and libckpool (
https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool).
Andrew Smith - Maintainer and author of ckdb (
https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool ). tbdice.org is not using ckdb yet.
Luke Dash Jr and his crew. The "live pool stats idea + some js" were adopted form
http://eligius.st/~gateway/.
Configuration:
Just point your miner to: stratum+tcp://tbdice.org:3333 or stratum+tcp://tbdice.org:3334
Set your username to your "version zero" (beginning with a '1' character) btcaddress with any or even no worker extension, and any password.
eg: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://tbdice.org:3333 -u 1BUiW44WuJ2jiJgXiyxJVFMN8bc1GLdXRk.0 -p x
If you enter an invalid address it will be ignored and earnings will be donated to the pool. The warning message will be printed every 30 secs or so in cgminer output screen
Suitable for:
TBDice owners
Large mining farms
Regular miners struggling to recoup costs who wish to take extra risk for greater reward potential for part or all of their hashrate
The last backup for all miners who don't have a solo setup or wish to avoid the overheads of running one
Miners with old/inefficient miners that will never earn any rewards through regular mining that wish to leave it mining as a lottery
Statistics:
tbdice.org currently only displays minimal per user and worker information.
To access this, enter your BTC address at the end of:
http://tbdice.org/users/and your workername at the end of:
http://tbdice.org/workers/ Advantages over regular solo mining:
Mining at tbdice.org avoids the overheads of running a full bitcoin node that requires both great storage and bandwidth for optimal performance.
tbdice.org is extensively connected to high speed low latency bitcoin nodes for rapid block change notification and propagation.
Unlike regular pools, tbdice (ckpool) never mines transaction-free blocks due to its ultra-scaleable code which has miners on both new blocks and transactions concurrently.
How it works:
tbdice automatically takes your bitcoin address and gives you a unique stratum connection mining to your own address.
If you find a block, 99.5% of the 25BTC + transaction fees get generated directly at your bitcoin address!
There is no need to worry about passwords, logins, withdrawals, authentication or pool wallet hacks.
You remain anonymous apart from your btc address.
All you need to confirm you are mining to your own address is to examine the coinbase and template sent to you over stratum.
Note that if you do not find a block, you get no reward at all with solo mining.
The pool fee is divided as follows:
0.35% goes to pool BTC address 1BUiW44WuJ2jiJgXiyxJVFMN8bc1GLdXRk to operate the pool
0.15% goes to Con Kolivas BTC address 14BMjogz69qe8hk9thyzbmR5pg34mVKB1e as contribution for his work
Feel free to mine using either pool or Con Kolivas BTC address as username to donate to pool or to Con respectively. You can always transfer some BTC to the mentioned addresses also.
