Please do not say . Join Ck pool or anything like that..
My question is...Lets say I am solo mining with a small geckoscience usb to a local pool on a local node. Is it possible for such a thing to actually solve a bitcoin block. I have seen my little setup get shares as high as 1.8 million diff. Could I check my local little pool one day and see a solved block?
Is it *possible*? Yes.
Early in 2022 Sledge0001 found a block using a Compac-F. BUT... he did it through a solo-pool node that has decent stability and propagation times to relay the Block Found message to the BTC network in a timely manner.
The problem with using a local node is that it is a safe bet that you do not have the connection links & speed and server horsepower to get the Block Found out to the network fast enough to ensure that you don't end up in an orphan race with someone else and lose because their block is confirmed by others before yours is. That would truly suck...
So yes you *can* do it but by using yuor own local node you are just increasing the already astronomical odds against you (using a small miner) by several magnitudes.
What is the last reported solo block on a very small rig and setup i mentioned. You know . Like a person running solo pool with local node. This subject is fascinating to say the least.

Yes, even a USB miner can still be successful.
I did hit a block however I was on CK's pool when this occurred with 9 x GekkoScience Compac F's running Kano's version of CGminer on a windows computer.
If you are to really consider mining to your own local full node then the first step I would take is that I would research to make sure you have it well connected to other faster nodes.
Then it maybe even in your best interest to fire up one of those open-source code pools that offer would offer a better starting place like CKPOOL, BLINKHASH, NOMP or YIIMP which will give you a bit more clarity as to what your miner(s) are doing and allow you to grow if need be.
Good Luck!
Crazy awesome. Would not even be able to walk for a minute if went to my computer and seen that i solved a block.
Okay stop thinking your own node with a usb stick.
last Jan of 2022 sledge hit on cks pool with 9 usb sticks.
I am not anti node mining.
I would estimate a block every 10 minutes means a 10 % shot you lose the block in a race with a fast connected person.
I am assuming you have a fairly good connection to the chain on a decent pc.
you will not find out if some guy is solo mining on a node and hits with a usb stick for the simple reason he is like you a paranoid person wanting full security.
your paranoia is unjustified btw.
mining to ckpool solo is private as the address you created to mine it.
I can look at every block made and see the coin payment to an address.
so wether it is ck pool on a node has no difference on security.
