Good afternoon guys- weird problem any ideas?
I have been running 3 old T15s on the pool for over a year and a few months ago I upgraded and got a used S19j Pro 96T and been running that instead for better power efficiency. Just for fun I popped over to a SHA256d MAZA Solo pool yesterday so I get the thrill of seeing a few blocks of something get found by my miners. The Difficulty was only 9M and the time to find for my ~100 TH was supposed to be less than 2 minutes but I let it go for 3 hours with nothing to show   and other miners with only 20 ish TH were catching all the blocks-it was showing correct hash rate and millions of shares accepted... I switched to my old test-unit T15 with only one hash board (7TH) and BAM I hit a block ... then after 20 minutes another, and another. I put the S19 back on and nothing again for hours... never hitting anything.
>>Now I am worried that this S19 miner can't or doesn't report found blocks...The T15 has CGMINER version 4.1.11.1 rwlhr, But i can't see the version in the S19.  I upgraded to the newest stock firmware but no help.
I know this issue didn't happen directly on this pool BUT I don't want to run a miner on this pool that can't report a found block.. Is there a test pool using CKpool software I can try to test my unit? Do I need to setup a CKpool instance for testing?
I want to verify that the miner does report blocks found-

>CK does the CGMINER software running in unit report found blocks above the target  or does it report everything and let the pool figure it out and report it?

Thanks

This is an interesting question 7th making multiiple blocks and 100th making no blocks in more than twice the time is very unusual . An extreme long shot in fact.
what it means to me is do not trust that s19 mine at a normal pool. muse you t15 miners on ck pool.
