I took profit at €0,36/CRO and bought back in at €0,24. I do get good value out of the cashbacks.

Ich habe meine Geräte relativ günstig aus China bekommen und ich hatte glück weil sie gut Laufen.

Strompreis beträgt 27,44 ct/kWh

Ich habe Spaß an den Geräten auch bastle ich gerne, Stromversorgung, Kühlung, Overclock usw.

Momentan Versuche ich zu verstehen wie die Pools funktionieren um den richtigen Pool zu finden, ich habe die besten Ergebnisse bis jetzt auf Kryptex.

Ich weiß das ich mit meinen Geräten solo Minen sollte aber irgendwie ist mir das zu langweilig 😅


Wieviel minest Du pro Tag?

CRO is now at €0,30 - Personally I've found it pretty fascinating to see CDC go from "Cronos/CRO is just an utility token that Crypto.com happens to use" out of fear of the law, to CDC now fully becoming a "Make CRO Great Again" flagbearer.

From a Crypto.com point of view (and a pure business perspective) the move is clever as it will gain access to a market it did not have and people on Truth Social will just buy in. For me personally I hold a good stake in CRO and will continue staking on Icy Rose card as bundled with Curve it gives me some cashback and does not cost me anything. If there were better cashback-options in Austria through local retailer, I would have switched.

The CDC move is certainly risky as it is a fine political line they are walking on. With the CRO unburn I anyway expect that the token will normalise around €0,06-€0,10, but with the hype it will jump in the next few weeks.

Not sure what to think about these news: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2025/08/26/trump-media-crypto-com-to-build-usd6-4b-cro-treasury-firm-cro-jumps-25

Quote
Trump Media will buy $105 million in CRO tokens while Crypto.com takes $50 million in DJT stock as part of a partnership that makes the Cronos token central to Truth Social’s rewards system.

I am happy that I am invested in CRO, but I hope that this is giving the CRO-ecosystem some longevity. What are your thoughts?

Ich sehe gerade dass du wohl das Netzteil auch in Betrieb hast? Auf dem Foto bei Amazon stehen 24V. In der Beschreibung aber 12V. Also kommt auch das passende 12V Netzteil an?

Ja, ich habe das LRS-350-12 bekommen.

The same question could be asked of yourself, why did you bother making a docker for it?

Been tinkering and added a front-end for my local CKPool

Live logs and stats

Any reason why you do no just use the standard CKStats? I did a docker (which is a bit heavy, as CKStats also needs PSQL) - https://github.com/magicdude4eva/btc-fullnode-stack/tree/main/ckstats

Hallo zusammen,

hab mir nun auch einen Nerdqaxe ++ besorgt. Leider ist hier nur eins dieser China-Netzteile dabei gewesen.

Noch zwei Fragen:

Kann ich an den zweite Lüfter Anschluss einfach nen 120mm Lüfter klemmen damit ich zusätzliche Belüftung habe?

Ich habe beobachtet, dass wenn ich für PID eine tiefere Ziel-Temp einstelle, geht der Lüfter natürlich hoch und alles wird kühler aber die Watt anzeige geht um ca. 5 Watt runter. Hat dafür jemand ne Erklärung warum das so ist?


Danke fürs Feedback!

Warum kaufst Du dir nicht ein Meanwell Netzteil? Dann kannst zukünftig bis 3 Nerdqaxe++ (wenn jeweils 100W / NQA) damit betreiben - link: https://amzn.to/4ox6LZD

Ja, Du kannst einen zweiten Lüfter anklemmen. Dein Stromverbrauch steigt damm um ca 5-8W je nach Lüfter (bei mir von 79W auf 86W)

Wegen Lüfter/W-Verbrauch: Das konnte ich bei mir nicht so feststellen. Bei mir ist Target Temp 55C und Lüfter ist 100% und 2700RPM.

I am using a NerdQAxe++ which i bought from mineshop.eu - perfect litte device, I cracked 1.94G last night running against my Docker stack (https://github.com/magicdude4eva/btc-fullnode-stack). The device is on it's default settings and consumes about 80W and hashrate is 4.3 to 4.8TH/s (sometimes breaking out to 5.2TH).

Waiting for that block to drop  Grin

I think in Europe is easier to get Trezor or Ledger from official websites and it's better

I bought it from Trezor.io - it was shipped to Austria within 2 days - super impressed.

On my Synology I added last night to run a special script to disconnect slow peers (in my case any peer slower than 3 seconds):

peer-filter.sh - this runs every 5 minutes
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# peer-filter.sh - Disconnect high-ping peers (Docker version)

THRESHOLD=1.0 # seconds
CONTAINER="bitcoin-node"

# Fetch peers using docker exec
for peer in $(docker exec -i $CONTAINER bitcoin-cli -conf=/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -datadir=/bitcoin getpeerinfo | jq -c '.[]'); do
  ping=$(echo "$peer" | jq '.pingtime')
  addr=$(echo "$peer" | jq -r '.addr')
 
  # If pingtime is above threshold, disconnect
  if (( $(echo "$ping > $THRESHOLD" | bc -l) )); then
    echo "🚫 Disconnecting $addr (ping: $ping)"
    docker exec -i $CONTAINER bitcoin-cli -conf=/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -datadir=/bitcoin disconnectnode "$addr"
  fi
done

It logs this:
Code:
...
🚫 Disconnecting 123.100.246.248:8333 (ping: 6.793595)
🚫 Disconnecting 203.11.72.218:8333 (ping: 2.599044)

Eventuell wird da der Stromverbrauch, nur des ASICs angegeben (auch wenn das für mcih Schummeln ist) und nicht des ganzen Systems, Netzteilverluste, Kühlung etc.

Quote
Energy Efficiency: 15j Th/s

Wäre dann die Angabe bei 4 Th/s nicht bei 4.8 Th/s



Wäre dann voll schummeln. Auf meinen NerdQAxe++ habe ich 60W nur durch massives runterdrosseln und ca 3-3.5Th/s hingekriegt. In then default settings bewege ich mich im schnitt bei 4,5Th/s und nach unten selten auf 3,5 und nach oben bei 5,3. Stromverbrauch ist konstant auf 79-80W. ASIC = 52.6°C / VR = 60.1 °C / Lüfter ist auf 90% mit 2500RPM.

Re: self-hosted solo mining pool, free and open-source
by
MagicDude4Eva
on 05/08/2025, 16:31:16 UTC
Hey everybody,

which free and open-source mining pools are currently available that could be operated via self-hosting with an existing full node under Linux? I know that there is the soloCK pool available on bitbucket, but as far as I remember it was said somewhere that this code cannot be used like this but requires some customization. Is that still true or false information?

It is wrong that it is incomplete - I have been running at full stack for a few weeks on Docker - https://github.com/magicdude4eva/btc-fullnode-stack/tree/main/cksolo (it compiles from https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool-solo/src/solobtc/) - if you do not want to run it under docker, you can pretty much just follow the Dockerfile commands to compile it locally and then create a systemd file like this (untested):


/etc/systemd/system/ckpool.service
Code:
[Unit]
Description=CKPool Solo - Lightweight Stratum server for Bitcoin solo mining
After=network.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
# User and group to run ckpool (create a dedicated user for security)
User=ckpool
Group=ckpool

# Working directory where ckpool binary resides
WorkingDirectory=/opt/ckpool

# Environment variables
Environment="CKPOOL_DIR=/opt/ckpool"
Environment="CKPOOL_CONF=/etc/ckpool/ckpool.conf"
Environment="CKPOOL_LOG=/var/log/ckpool/ckpool.log"

# Start command
ExecStart=/opt/ckpool/src/ckpool -k -B -c ${CKPOOL_CONF}

# Restart behavior
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

# Resource limits
LimitNOFILE=65535

# Logging
StandardOutput=append:${CKPOOL_LOG}
StandardError=append:${CKPOOL_LOG}

I am perhaps of the wrong opinion, but I am thinking: what are the chances that with my ping being below 500ms and me finding a block and then loosing the race against some other miner trying to confirm the same block. Not sure what the probability for this would be and if it is something to worry about.

I do agree that self hosting requires resources and monitoring. If I would go and spend €150/month I could also upgrade my 250mbps fibre line to 1gig and possibly improve latency.

Thanks, that's exactly what I'd have expected to see.  Grin

I would think ping below 100ms would be rare in a home-setup. Makes me wonder what pings then pool-websites have.

Also mein Verständnis ist das "bitcoin-only" hardware wallets sicherer sind, weil sie nicht die libraries zur Unterstützung von anderen coins inkludieren und somit eine geringere Angriffsfläche haben.
