Out of curiosity, right now my 3 apollo 2's have hit a best share 7,632,598,247. Will it ever hit more than that? if so, is it a time thing or a luck thing?

Time + luck.

In general your best share should trend towards total shares submitted.

On the top you will see "Accepted Shares" this is the total work submitted to the solo pool. In a perfect world this would match your "Best Share".

Since bitcoin mining is completely random your best share is a totally random number. If you're unlucky it will be lower than total work submitted, and if you are lucky it will be greater.

You can get super lucky and get a 1T share which would take years of submitted work to "catch up" too.

And then you can hit the jackpot of course!

Has anyone hit near 1T on their Apollo II yet? Would be cool for you guys to post your best shares. Think highest we have seen is about 500B.

Also thinking about gamifying the Solo Pool and anonymously submit your best share for ranking on a site (and possibly give out prizes bases on best share as a cool incentive to solo mine without finding blocks).

Of course this would be opt in to collect this data and open source(and it would all be hashed data with no wallets or any personal data other than best share and maybe hashrate collected) but if you guys are interested might start working on it for 2.2 release.

This would also be a cool way to public display the state of the "FutureBit" hashrate network and show the impact all of you are having!

This is great to know! Yes Im at 3 billion total submitted and 7 Billion best share. I've only been live on the new apollo 2 units for a little over a week. Going to be sending more hash from my compass hosted units but they are terrible and taking forever.

Gamifying would be awesome!

Also, another user mentioned this but when do you think we will have visibility of units that aren't part of the apollo units that are contributing to a users solo mining? Just trying to see if I will be able to identify units that go down (hosted by compass)
