cool.  thank you ck!

so as long there isn't some generic work distribution method that different pool operators use, but instead each pool operator uses their own, unique work distribution method, then every ASIC miner in the world should be have unique starting work and have unique hashes...and that is an amazing technology!!!

Yes, thank you for taking the time to answer this question.  So the individual hashing units in an ASIC should be trying unique hashes, but what about separate ASICs in a farm?  Are they each getting unique starting work too?  If so, is that because of the pool software?  I've always been so curious about this.  I don't doubt that it's fair, but I wonder if there is another ASIC somewhere in the world that is getting the same starting work as my weaker ASIC is, in which case, they would beat me to the solution every time.  I would imagine the pools have a way to randomly distribute unique starting work to every worker.  That way another pool doesn't assign the same starting work to a worker in their pool.  That would make sense in my head, but I won't be surprised if I'm wrong

Trx fees are up, would be nice for a solo miner to hit a nice big block - I like big blocks and I cannot lie!

...you other miners can't deny!  had to laugh at your remix 


hey while i'm here....I forgot, how do i calculate what my best share needs to be based on current difficulty?  seems like a couple years ago I was looking for a 12 digit number...maybe?

I've always wondered how each ASIC guesses the solution to a block.  Like if I had 2 ASICs, 1 very powerful and 1 very weak, do they both start at the same hash and continue incrementing up until a solution is found?  If that were the case, the weaker ASIC would never find the solution, so surely that isn't how it works.

So if both of the ASICs are making different random guesses, what controls the guesses?  In other words, how is each ASIC choosing what to input in the hashing function to see if it hashes into the correct solution to the block?

I don't even know if I'm explaining myself clearly for anyone to even understand me lol I'm sure I'm saying something wrong...but if anyone is able to make sense out of that question, and are able to answer, I would be most grateful!

i almost turned on my single asic the night of the halving, but i ended up not getting around to it.  i was wondering if small home miners are still finding the occasional block as they used to.  does anyone know?

Well I've been solo mining for about 4 months or so....My personal luck right now is 0.7%  oh man what am I even doing? lmfao

whoa congrats to the lucky miner. Nice to see someone without a ton of hashrate find the block.

Curious....how can I calculate my own personal luck?

glad to hear you got it resolved

Ah okay. No worries. I was considering switching to pool mining after this pool finds it's next block. Should be due for one any block now. If i do switch, I'll probably come back after i mine a few hundred bucks worth of BTC. Lol i need to at least have something to show for this $7k ASIC LMFAO!

It's a solo pool like this one?

Well darn. Looks like i burned all my luck on those 3 ergo blocks i hit in 2 days with not a lot of hashrate lol

Maybe the 26th block party will be the one

Alright! Nice! I'll try to keep an eye on it and post best shares here and there.

Currently is this
304192616912

Hey I'm fine with that. Even a 1% increase in diff is still an increase nonetheless so if it is doable, i vote for starting before the increase. Have a great weekend guys!

Yeah that's more like it!

What happened to that guys last post? It got deleted? Must've been scam lol

Aaaaa yeeeeaaa We ready to do this or what? Let's go get that block!

Most recent diff change was from diff target 198 EH/s (diff 27692567959233) to 201 EH/s (diff 28174668481289).

thank you!

Awesome! My first block party. We gonna get that block!

cross our fingers for the next block

thank you 

So crossing my finger for our next round, wish us luck !

Hells yeah we got this! 

Thank you!
