Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 300 blocks solved!
Using AxeOS latest version
Version: v2.6.5
ESP-IDF Version: v5.4
Board Version: 204

FWIW:
I just got a new nerdqaxe++ in the mail today.
It came out of the box with a best share of 5.51m; so this shows my seller runs them before sale.
I have it already up on ckpool.
It currently has a best share of 4.13m.
Odds are if it has a bigger share then you have ever seen since using it; probably its from before you acquired it.
you are going to have to check the qaxe firmware docs on how to reset the BD variable if you wish to do so.
Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 300 blocks solved!
Ill throw this into the bucket as well:
If you boughgt your Bitaxe from a 3rd party vendor; there is always the possibility they have modified the firmware for it to redirect hashes. Its a very real possibility; I always flash the firmware from a fresh download of the original releases... no 3rd party links.
I also buy my bitaxe units from plebsource and everything reported so far on mine has always reflected pool side.
My first two Gammas both have 4.15 and 6.44 billion (G) results as all time highs.
This last block solve reset reset my values as normal aside from total shares, which did not reset for some reason.
Soon they will be on their own vlan with no direct connection to the internet; only to my own full node which is processing and getting ready now... ironically using CK's solo pool released code =) This will keep all my miner traffic only able to ever report to my own node, and never a chance to report to a 3rd party node. Im skeptical on everything with mining since the beginning. Thats why I wrote plaintext profit switching batch files and released them here years ago.

Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 299 blocks solved!
well when do these inactive worker reset / drop forever from the wallet worker history?
Only on pool restart for the most part.
Please consider having a script purging inactive workers data - might optimise storage but definitely improve user experience. There's definitely a bug with workers stats section - possibly associated with renaming the workers or switching between unnamed and named workers wrt inactive workers.I can say user/worker data gets purged at some point.
Mining history from quite some time ago was gone when I fired up some new miners this year.
Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 299 blocks solved!
to put it another way.
Doesn't matter who it is, or where they mine BTC to.
If you only have a Bitaxe 601 and are trying to hit a BTC block; you have a ~0.007% chance of hitting a block in one year. Anything more or less is just a lucky nonce. Nothing more, nothing less.
Shares on a solo pool are just a measure of if your miner is still reporting things to the pool... they dont count for anything other than a heartbeat.
If you are doing merged mining (merged pool share mining, not solo); your shares count for your share of the winnings; but thats in relation to the difficulty of shares being given. If your machine is reporting shares at 1,000+ difficulty; they will be worth less of a cut than the other person's shares being reported at 100,000+ difficulty. in fact, 100 times less.
See how it works?
BTW; congrats to the recent pool winner. I noticed my miner's high diff result reset the day the block was found. Since I finally bought a house and could afford to; I finally got and plugged in a lottery machine after all these years of absence. I moved away from my old spot where I had free power (back when the S7 was brand new, I ran one in my RV for many years all for free). But hey, power in Wisconsin is not anything compared to the cost of Cali where I was originally at.

You think your electric costs are high. Try living in the UK. $0.33 per KW/h
some instances it was over 0.40/kwh....

Thanks for the good words.
Yep; just working hard and paying off the home. Times have been rough for a lot of people, but hey.... you gotta find good in the bad.
For instance, in no way would I ever have imagined that I could sell my old gridseed orb miners for $50+ each right now on ebay. Unheard of. I think when I bought a massive lot of them I paid $10 each ages and ages ago when they were still "efficient". Gonna jump on that and list a bunch up because; well... I cant pass up the deal on something I will probably never plug in again.

Just putting more into the ether... now that its been another 4 years.
I am still alive and kicking.
Still doing funny stuff as always. Thinking of all the old regulars, Philipma, Citronick, Crackfoo, Vosk, and all the rest I havent mentioned... you know who you are.
Was on the ass end of a medical condition for many years which allowed me to be more active on the web back then.
Finally pulled out of it slowly; ended up getting a job offer. Paid to move to Wisconsin from California in 2022... I repair CNC machines for a living contracted to a major equipment manufacturer (they make massive vehicles/equipment). Was too good of a deal to pass up; the only issue was my health. Luckily it was timed right and I've been able to make things work for me and haven't been into the hospital for anything major since 2021.
Bought a house out here in Oct 2024. Only took me a year and a half of hard work and saving.
Been writing some utilities for BTC related activities. If people know how to do a basic bit of gumshoe work, they can find them... but they are also still works in progress. Running a BTC full node from home; along with all the other servers/services that I initially left in California but moved here to home in December.
If one of my projects pays out... Which I have high hopes; Ill definitely share the love considering the amount of payout from a small win on the main project will be world changing for me. It's got odds like solo mining; but it is possible to get a win nonetheless. The hard part has been learning how to do cuda integrations, but I think I have a hold of it now and video cards have so many cores and so much memory; its a lot more promising than when I was using conventional processing techniques.
I have a whole separate idea, but it will rely on the original bitcoin wallet source for a certain aspect of it (don't wanna give away the project just yet).

Re: BUBBLE UPDATE!!!!!! COME SEE A DEMO OF THE SOFTWARE..Game changing new tech
I'd just dedicate one of my CPU's to it; I have several IP addresses I can pull from as far as nodes are concerned;
One of them could possibly change (when major power outages happen in the county, we get a new IP there) But is always going to be fully under my control;
The several others are through datacenter hosts; one being OVH.... I can set up a dedicated node easily (hopefully on my linux distros instead of running it in a W10 VM on one of those IP's) These machines all have static IP ranges we have reserved for VMs already.
I am the main network tech for a few people; and I have full access to their machines and permission to set up my own processes on them... I think I have 3VM's running on one of the machines my client rents.
I'm not sure if ill need the algo information?
I guess it will be built into the node/wallet software... so I had planned on just going that route initially.... I dont plan to put any GPU or asic towards it; My excess useful hardware inventory of GPU's is all gone now; Just the 1080 in my home/game pc, and maybe a few gtx550's in a bin somewhere.
It would be nice to see people being able to get decent stake/POW rewards with just a 2.6Ghz cpu, etc.... So the prospects for that are great.
I need to find my old bub wallet file from the last node I ran; load it up and check its balance. I think there are still a few active nodes running last I saw.
When california had outages early 2020; the IP changed for my wallet, and that machine actually fried all of its network ports from lightning I think. It was acting VERY strangely.

the screw heads go through the bar. or slide inside the rails. gotta adjust them for slack, wiggle em in, and tighten (some bard have holes for through-tightening the round headed endcap screws). I left all screws in their respective locations for easy ID.
Re: BUBBLE || alpha software in testing demo up big news
I’m not sure if the bub chain will be rebooted or continued (yobit fucked everyone in a manner of speaking)...
I could possibly operate as a node with a static ip or a static host name (not sure if it can be configured as a host name in the wallet instead of an IP; it would open up my options)
I have access to a few data center hosted machines

Re: BUBBLE || alpha software in testing demo up big news
I am still confident that I will be ready by 4/20, 00:00 UTC
always a memer XDRe: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby!
Do you guys sell these GPUs at these high mark ups in person or online? I don’t think I would be able to sell them in person at a high mark up. Online it’s different. But when you are doing the transaction in person I couldn’t look the other person in the eye while charging him 50-100% mark up.
I would feel ashamed for taking advantage. And if I was a buyer paying a high mark up I also wouldn’t have a pleasant look on my face knowing that I am paying a huge premium to this individual who was lucky enough to find some in stock.
I never mark up at ebay prices.I would feel ashamed for taking advantage. And if I was a buyer paying a high mark up I also wouldn’t have a pleasant look on my face knowing that I am paying a huge premium to this individual who was lucky enough to find some in stock.
on ebay 1 1080ti and 1 3080 is running for 2900 + tax.
in my listing I ask for a bid from 2100 to 2500
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5320394.0
so you could get it 800 cheaper than ebay. I am not ashamed to take that much profit.
But frankly face to face scares me on any high priced sale. My fear is the guy wants to stick me up.
This is why I meet at a friends house whom owns a LOT of firearms for protection;
Or I meet in a local PD parking lot to do the transaction.
I have done the gas station meetup; but only at ones I know are covered with security cameras and that are very busy... I haven't been robbed yet (knock on wood).
Please message me when ready to do this.
Will do Phil; I plan to box it up tomorrow after work.
I just finished installing W10; Just installed the downloaded ISO while it was plugged into the net; remembered it's old status and activated automatically. https://imgur.com/Flkj9x8
Couldn't install the crimson blockchain driver (no card); so the installer is in the downloads folder for you. netplwiz.exe used to set to auto-login. The user account's password is in a text file on the desktop in case you need it (for RDP and to change it).
I am running it through all the updates right now (thank god I finally got better internet for home out here in the boonies; my cellular link is ~30Mbit now instead of 3).
I'll run it updating tonight until it doesn't find anymore updates to install; then Ill consider it all ready to box up.
Am I direct shipping it to you @DebitMe? I have never done a goods escrow personally yet; its always been direct for me in the past. Knowing Phil has payment; I have zero worries about sending it direct (unless you prefer anonymity).
I can have the shipping cost to give you once I have a zip code and its final box size. I tend to use USPS (typically most cost-effective and reliable), but if another service reaches you better or more reliably, its your choice.
It will ship out of 95037.
Sorry sorry. I am a tax accountant, so I am absolutely bonkers right now. I am ready to move forward with purchase. Philip would you please setup escrow?
Thanks
Yeah; I had a rough weekend myself, but am back on the upswing.Thanks
I just finished taking photos and disassembling it.
I booted it up; and apparently it was last running ubuntu; so i can wipe the drive and re-install windows 10 on it before I package it up if you want;
I totally forgot I had it gambling on finding an address with $$$ in it =)

I'll tape antistatic over the mainboard to protect it from the padding Ill be putting in the dead spaces; and probably use something to secure the PSU to the main tray back as it was; it seems that smarter way to ship it being physically attached to the frame.
If you want me to disassemble it more, I can probably fir the frame into a tube mailer; but this seems the best way; easiest to re-assemble; the frame protects the mainboard in transit, etc.
I will help do escrow since this is for JaredKaragen I will wave my $20 minimum fee.
I will charge only whatever coinbase charges be to send it to the seller.
JaredKaragen and I go back for years.
I sold him this board in 2018

I believe this is the correct assembly manual for the frame. https://spotswoodcomputercases.com/wp/?page_id=9152
Yeah the manual was close for getting it assembled; but I remember there being some differences in mine.... I think there are a couple slight differences with the way I set it up because of that I think.
It will be easy to put most of the hardware back into its locations when disassembling; making reassembly a little bit easier.
I have some more running around to do today, help a friend drop a set of rebuilt heads back on his 460; and go to my other friend's auto shop and give him a hand for a few hours to pay for use of his shop lift yesterday.
If I don't have anything pop up for tonight; Ill get on the imagery and disassembly tonight.
I'm not sure if I have the bag with the allen screwdriver tool and extra hardware the frame came with for assembly... If I find it I will include it.
At last look (we will see for certain soon) I believe I had 4 or 5 dual-ended PCIE power cables still attached to that miner frame. If you need more; they are the standard pinout/interchangeable so easy to add more from a spare supply.
