Stay connected, don't go to shady solo pools, here you can verify the jobs I send, it's fair enough better

I tried to verify the payout amounts and addresses that you configured on your pool. I am using cgminer in its latest version. Unfortunately it failed completely with your pool. With eg. cgminer you can easily check what happens in case of a block found by querying the pool and see the coinbase transaction it returns.

Here's an example with solo.ckpool.org with a correct and expected output:
Code:
Pool stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333:

    "result": {
        "txid": "497ee53104c2840e3ac3bd41d534711a243537de8d7ee6bbe853f4dcc1390cb8",

    "error": null,

}

as we see, 2% fee (here 0.1260917 BTC) goes to 1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ (owned by the pool operator) just as promised and promoted on his pool site. The reward of 6.1784937700000002 BTC in that example would go to users payout address.

Unfortunately and as not expected, the query does not work at all on your pool as it fails in the beginning with the error:
Quote
Failed json_rpc_call

For me it looks like that your pool spits out some json incompatible data, with which the mining software cgminer or the bitcoin core linked to it cannot process. Just guessing though. However, the query works against all other known pools available out there without issues, just your pool returns nothing but that error. I personally would avoid your pool under these circumstances, because it means for me: if my miner would find a block then I can't trust that I would get paid. Not to mention that the miner would have problems with the call at all because he can't seem to communicate properly.

Can you provide more info on why well-known and widely used mining software such as the latest version of cgminer used here spits out a false check?

 Strange. Have you tried my method ?


I tested the pool with CPUMINER, Antminer, Whatsminer, but not CGMiner.


What command do you use ?
