Ufffff, how complicated.

So in the Antiminer panel that indicates, Diff, Prioritiy, Accepted, Diffa, DiffR, Rejected, Stale, LSDiff, LSTime, it is of no use.

I understand that with a 104Th S19J pro it is very difficult to find a block, isn't it?

I have seen that the last miner who found a block with CKpool had only been mining in Ckpool.... for 1 week.

I spent the past 2 months documenting bestshare numbers on a variety of devices and services. My broken S5 hit 9 trillion on a bestshare and a good working S7 can't get out of the 300 billion bestshare.

Then I used Nicehash to rent 1ph for 24 hours (129 miners) and had a 1T bestshare and then did 5ph (702+ miners) for 24 hours and only got to 800B. Then did crazy runs at 45ph (3400+ miners) for 90mins and got only 334B. Then did 65PH.for 90mins (5300+ miners) and got 119B. And on and on.

It's so clear that it's just luck. Yes the Hash rate matters but it takes just one good Hash and you are there. The moment that some company brings in quantum computing into the mining will be the day I throw my equipment away. They will get almost all blocks, especially when working in parallel univs. It's coming. But until then...MINE ON! (With the awesome solo pool by CK)

I can have a continuous S19j Pro 104 in CKpool, I currently have it running in Ckpool....

With all you know about SHA256, how long would I have it trying to solve a block.....

My idea is to leave one alone in CKpool for a long time but there are times that I think about it and in a year is a lot of money that I will not earn, if it is true that you can find one and earn much more, but the latter is only if you find it, if you do not find it I have nothing....

I really don't know that much about mining. What I do know is to be hopeful, but......don't get your hopes up too high because mining is a marathon not a sprint. You could go years without solving one, or maybe solve it in a day, week or month, etc. It's impossible to know because luck is just that - luck. I have a rag-tag bunch of old dusty miners running in a garage that I never visit. Maybe once every month I will visit to make sure a racoon hasn't eaten into the wires or a fan died, etc.

I've written some scripts that text me when I get a new bestshare so it's fun to see when it arrives. The other night when all of my bestshares reset I knew someone was lucky. Wish it was me, but maybe next time. I'm also renting 1.3ph for a week to see what that can do.

The reason I love CK's pool is that it runs without problems. I don't have to think about it because it just runs and runs.
