Re: Best difficulty ever recorded

It's block 756951: https://mempool.space/block/0000000000000000000000005d6f06154c8685146aa7bc3dc9843876c9cefd0f. It has a difficulty of more than 50 quintillion (50 million trillion). For comparison, right now difficulty is 127 trillion. That means it's around 393,000x more difficult to solve.

Imagine that with 900 EH/s, the network has a little over 2% chance of mining a block at that difficulty in one year. With current hashrate, it's expected to find such difficulty only once per 50 years.

That’s impressive! How did you determine the difficulty for this block?

Open Source FTW! Second block mined by this hardware.

Congratulations to a super lucky miner bc1qaxccz85rx6ywy2xw6ugtm6u37mvew6qqn7lgtd with only 3.3TH who solved the 297th solo block at https://solo.ckpool.org with a 480GH bitaxe!

Not sure if this is what you're asking about, but the best difficulty I'm aware of is apparently 700T on a BitAxe. Not to get your hopes up or anything...  Grin

@0id1d
Merit given for that. The crypto magazines of course were late on it and left out all details of course...
Nonetheless, great luck for the miner and glad to know it was personal hardware and not a shitton of rental.

Thank you, much appreciated. Yes, it's great that we were able to get the details this time straight from the person who mined the block.

Surprised that no one picked up on an Apollo II node getting a block on the 21st.
https://mempool.space/block/00000000000000000000b7070e88525e4064ab36df7cfbe34d785bbc6eb491ea
Details
https://bitaps.com/888737
It had a diff of 393T.  393,692,033,929,762 to be precise

What is not known is what miner was used - the one in the Apollo or did the winner point a buttload of rental hash at it.

This was already posted in the support thread with the details. Apparently the node was an Apollo I, not II, and the miner that found it was a S19K Pro.


Apollo BTC MCU1. Ethernet. 270Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. Midwest USA.

The miner that solved the block was an SK19Pro running Brains OS underclocked to 2250 watts, 100TH. I run it at 1250 watts during the day at 1250 watts / 60TH to keep the noise down. If the complete log is helpful, just let me know.

some great best shares, maybe I should drop mine to balanced mode it seems like you guys have much higher best shares yet im stuck for 10+ days at the same even in turbo mode. Thoughts? Does it matter, I am guessing no but you would think Turbo mode would draw higher best shares.

With 1x Apollo2 full node and 1x Apollo1 full node + 2 standard, I'm getting an avg 1hr hash rate of 15 TH/s with all in balanced mode. When the Apollo 1s were in turbo (Apollo2 in balanced) I was getting 16 TH/s avg hash rate. From an efficiency standpoint, it made sense to run them all in balanced.

The best hash rate of 1.7b over 3 days is similar to what I was getting when the miners were running 16 TH/s. My all-time best share has been around 3.2b over an uptime period of 1 week, whether the Apollo1s were running turbo or balanced. Might be worth playing around with balanced mode for a little while?

Guys, what could be version 2.0.6 Apollo 2 every 2-3 days the device disappears from the network, you have to turn it off and on hard. Then it works again for 2-3 days and also disappears from the network. Although Apollo itself works when you reboot it.

I get the same thing on my Apollo 2, around every 4 days for me. I plan to switch to 2.0.5 to see if that helps anything, as per eagleye's suggestion below.

I'm running v2.0.5.  I tried v2.0.6 but it kept crashing on my apollo II.  Have you tried reverting  back to v2.0.5 and if so, is that network issue stable on the old version?  I would think it's a problem with the network adapter, initially.  My node and miner are running happy on the old version right now.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

My Apollo 1 is doing fine, lining up with what garetjax said.

I upgraded my Apollo 1 a month ago to 2.0.6 and not a single issue.  I am also running an Apollo 2 standard off of my Apollo 1.  Constant 63/64 connections.  It's in my office so it is running in eco mode.  I use an ethernet cable.

Hi @willi8874, my Compac F has been having some problems so I'm pointing this at the pool for now until I get it running again:

Device: Apollo BTC
Speed: 2 TH/s

Danke!
Hi 0id1d

thanks for the information, if it is only for some days, i let the old device in the table. is it for longer or ever, i can edit your device type, no problem.

i have also update the miner list on page one and nice to the the new miner and the new bestshares in the top 10 list...

very nice and a block would be even nicer  Grin

Best regards and a nice weekend, happy mining.
Willi

Thanks willi9974

Agree, a block would be very very nice  Cheesy

I added "Apol" to the end of my worker name so that it wouldn't get confused with my Compac - it will probably be a week or so before I get that back to mining with the pool.

Thanks again and a nice weekend and happy mining too!
