Re: NiceHash multi-algorithm SOLO mining pool [BTC/LTC/DASH blocks found!]

I rented some X11 hashing power yesterday and pointed it to your Solo Dash mining pool. It was constantly being disconnected. I used your pool verificator to see if there was a problem. This was the result....

Resolving pool host stratum.solo.nicehash.com... OK

Your pool is shown as incompatible therefore we encourage you to contact pool operator to make sure that the pool is using minimal/starting pool share difficulty which is compatible with our service (and thus compatible with today's miners), please send them link to our FAQ on this topic: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqb3. Thank you!

Is there a way to resolve this?

I had to switch wallets to the Electrum. Much easier to use since had so many problems with my last block. Thanks again for your help! I did find another LTC block as well as DOGE which I will continue to leave as donations. Also, a big thanks for making this site available. For someone who has been unemployed for awhile and not able to have any income this has been an enormous help for me. Its nice to have a bit of luck for a change.

No matter what pool say if you see that your transaction is confirmed by network (20 confirms in this moment) it means it is confirmed and that is all Cheesy

Congrats.
You can always follow blok link and check if your address is in cb generation transaction and thre are at least 2+ confirmations. After that all shall be good
Best

I think I solved my first LTC block a few minutes ago. I saw my address LaMK7NeVwwYq8A4LWRKyj4TEXArhAgtEqw under Block History. I just wanted to see if it were possible to confirm on your end and make sure everything looks good. Thanks!

wow! difficulty dropped down to 158,427,203,767.3920 first time I've seen it drop since learning about bitcoin last August.

Thats good but unfortunately wont make any real difference to most miners.

yeah. it would need to drop to the millions before I'd ever see a chance, but I'd like to be able to say I got a block once.

Me too, been trying for a few years now dont think it will ever happen Embarrassed.

it's good to know I'm not the only one around the forum who hasn't had any luck. I figured I was part of the minority around here.

...

Total noob here Huh

Noob + solo will probably lead to disappointment. Try kano.is first, then after you have mined some there, come back to solo. Soloing is hard... been 110+ days on that with ~25 THs and i'm still empty handed Wink

No necessarily. I got a block with 100th in 13hours.

All about luck .

I want to be one of those lucky ones for once, the most I have ever won on the Lottery is $43.75 Cheesy

I'm hoping my fortune will change soon. I've rented 5PH, 500TH, 100TH and have had no luck. Being unemployed and gambling away what little you can scrounge up from time to time isn't smart on my part :/ I just rented 5TH for the heck of it. Desperation I guess. Crossing fingers, congrats to the latest winner and good luck to all!

What would setting S3+ difficulty look like with just an address? do I add it to worker or password? I'm sorry if it has been posted before I did make an effort to look for it, but there's so much to read through.

Go to https://www.kano.is, all the directions are right there, easy to read and follow what to do.

To mine your S3+ to just and address, use the following in the miner config page:
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333
{your BTC address here}_{any worker name here}
x

You cannot configure difficulty if you only mine to an address and really there is no need, especially with just an S3+, the pool will adjust it for you.


honestly your better of just signing up with a user name. Everything become so much simpler to use and more stats are available with a user name vs btc address.

+1 to that.

Register and create a username vs. just your BTC addy. But, concerning setting the diff...let the vardiff do that for you. It really is the best way. I am mining with 2xS3plus. Works fine.

     Cool

Big thanks to you all!

Pool settings
The pool is configured to start you mining at 1042 difficulty.
The pool adjusts the per instance difficulty to maintain an average share rate of approximately 3 shares per 10 seconds (18 shares per minute)
However, there is a lower limit set on the difficulty of 42.
If you mine with a username, you can login to the web interface and set a minimum difficulty for mining.
If this value is below the pool calculated value, you'll get the pool calculated value.
If you mine with a BTC address as your username, you can use the cgminer option --suggest-diff to set it for each cgminer.
You can, of course, also use --suggest-diff if you mine to a username.

& it will be worse in the future. less and less solo blocks will be found!

Do you think it would go down during the halving? Or even if miners stop running since fewer blocks are being found?

I don't know whether this means anything or not, but it's been nearly 24hrs since the pool went down. While down I switched over to DE since it was still working. Being in the US I didn't think that DE would do very well for me, but in one day on DE I have no stales listed. I normaly average about 4+ stales a day. Does this mean that my S3 is hashing better on DE?
Luck, coincidence, random chance, moonlight, starlight, solar flares...

No, you're better off in the long term mining to whichever pool is closer. The main pool was not disconnected for that long.

Luck? Hehe. Not lucky enough Wink I may run it just for a week and see what kind of difference I get. It couldn't hurt much then again it could hurt everything :/ I'll post back on it in a week just to see what it does out of curiosity.

Did the pool do down? Huh
Looks like a network outage of some sort, investigating. DE is still up and running ok.

I may switch over for the time being. I hope it's an easy fix.

Will a power outage affect the miner in finding a block on the solo pool? Is it basically just starting over when it resets after the power flickers?

There is no "starting over" you're rolling the dice 1 million times a second. What you get this roll has no effect on the next roll.

Thanks. I was afraid the outages we're having lately were going to hinder any progress.
