WERE YOU SOLO MINING WITH A BITCOIN WALLET?  --

If so, your share was 100%.  If you did not get a reward in your wallet, it is possible some other miner hit the solution a millisecond prior to you.  Something seems peculiar here.

I was solo mining with my own wallet at stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334...
But the block was not solved for ages after this message, and finally was relayed by AntPool eventually...

I tend to agree. Many miners report "Yay" when a block is solved and "Yes" for a share.
Considering how much is involved it might be worth trying to find out what happened.

I seriously have no clue on what this n+2nd. version of ccminer(what seems to be stable on my old config) should output..
Honestly I was not even aware how these "shares" work, or what they represent.. like 5 hours ago XD
..since that time I already know way too much about the "probability" of getting those 000 in the SHA256  Roll Eyes  Cheesy


YOU WERE "SOLO-MINING" AT A POOL--

With your BitCoin address.  Not the same, exactly.  The pool, as a middleman, will take 2% and should payout the entire remainder of the block reward to you.

Solo-mining on a wallet, for smaller alt-coins, sometimes gets a false "Yay!!!" that fails to confirm.  If there was no orphaned block, or even a good block, reported at the pool around the same minute, there was something wrong.

EDIT:  THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION FOR ANY BLOCK INCLUDED IN THE BLOCKCHAIN--

As I understand it, each block gets only one solution in the blockchain.  However, because the network involved in solving blocks is so astronomically huge, two or more solutions may be found within just milliseconds.  Only one of them is included in the blockchain.  Network latency, variations in time synchronization, and other factors may allow for a false  positive.

Please correct me if I am wrong.       --scryptr
