On that note. I been doing solo mining by renting rigs but when I'm not renting, i do have cpu miners going just for that wild chance. I know when I do these cpu miners its likely nothing, but I didnt know I could be harming the pool? If so I will stop.
What software are you using to CPU mine?
Just a python script. I don't believe I'm using much resources from the Pool with it. I'm just playing around with searching different nonce levels. I know its a long shot but bored.
