Congratulations to miner bc1q~jr38 for solving the 307th solo block at solo.ckpool.org, with only 200TH!

A miner of this size only has a 1 in ~36,000 chance of solving a block each day, or once every ~100 years!

It's all about your network setup and why would you add such proxy in your setup? Of course it brings more to latency.

In Whatsminer settings there ain't things you can do to make latency better.
I aggregated with a power proxy. And I set the difficulty of each device to 262,000 without rejection. Is that okay?

Anything you stick in the way of your miner and the pool will only ever increase latency it will never decrease it. I've no idea why you would put a proxy in the way, it makes no sense.

In terms of network infrastructure, your miner should ideally be connected directly by wire to your internet gateway/router equipment. Don't use WiFi or WiFi repeaters unless you've no other option.

After that you have zero control over the network infrastructure and the latency between you and the pool is just purely down to the physical route between your gateway and the pool server over the internet.

Are you using the best ckpool server for your location?

ckproxy stratum proxy (for linux).
Ckpool code is available here: https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool

Yes, all very well. But why would you need to use it?  Huh

Just connect your miners directly to the pool.

Re: GekkoScience has a new stickminer that does 300+GH

What kind of USB hub are you running them from, does it have capacity to run 3 devices at the same time typically you need a USB hub that'll do 2.5-3Amps per port for the CompacF to run reliably.

See this table




I'm using the Gekkoscience 8 Port USB Hub 2.0, which successfully runs 3 sticks in the past.

I can't tell from the cgminer logging if the problem is with the sticks, usb hub, or configuration. This can be seen in my screenshots.



Try a different hub with just one stick at a time. I suspect your hub may be faulty.

I think you must have a better heat-sink than is fitted on my BitAxe Gamma. My temps seem to be 5-10C more than yours.

Hello all,

for some bitaxe user here, maybe the tuning script is nice to know.

https://github.com/mrv777/Bitaxe-Hashrate-Benchmark/

you can auto tune the speed parameter to the best value.


Standard Usage
Run the benchmark tool by providing your Bitaxe's IP address:

python bitaxe_hashrate_benchmark.py <bitaxe_ip>
Optional parameters:

-v, --voltage: Initial voltage in mV (default: 1150)
-f, --frequency: Initial frequency in MHz (default: 500)
Example:

python bitaxe_hashrate_benchmark.py 192.168.2.29 -v 1175 -f 775

try it out, i moved my bitaxe gamma from 1.2 to 1.6 THs

Best regards,
Willi

Hi Willi,

What was the impact on the thermal performance by doing this?

I've noticed even small variation in the voltage and frequency can make a big difference to the temperatures

Hello everyone I have 15 m30++ 110th devices connected to the proxy. What number should I set the difficulty for each device?

It shouldn't matter as I believe the pool will adjust to suite your rate but if you need a default difficulty 2.5*GH/s is a good guide so around 275,000 for each @ 110TH/s.

I'm having trouble figuring out why my three sticks won't initialize and I've posted a few screenshots if someone could help.

My boot script has always worked before:

sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u xxx -p x --suggest-diff 442 --gekko-compacf-freq 425 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 85 --gekko-start-freq 350

Hello ck,
the 4334 is not ok? I mean, it works.. I am finding shares..
Thanks.

Regards, Frank

As -CK said, you need to be on the other port 3333 for lower hash rate equipment 17TH/s will require a much lower difficulty to return shares regularly enough for a stable hash rate to be shown on the stats page.

Port 4334 is for high performance systems and rentals >1PH/s


Use port 3333 things will be better for you.

All seems fine as far as I can see.

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


that was easy: because no-one seems to have done an all-in-one-solution  Grin

Makes sense I guess.

TBH, I think we're in a minority running our own nodes and pools. Most people are happy to use pools provided by others.

I run some of my miners locally and the rest are chugging away split between CKPool and Briians. Been running for over a year on Solo now still no sign of a block though.

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

Yes, because I wanted to do it myself. You don't learn anything by just plugging other people's work onto things I admit there are areas of the chain where we're reliant on other peoples work for example the pool code and bitcoincore as well as CGminer. But at some point I'll probably tinker there too and make my own miner code.

Plus I found it interesting and engaging.

Congrats, the best I've done so far was 146G thats with a mix of workers BitAxe Gamma, Gekko Compac F and some boards of my own creation based on BM1397 and BM1366 running on CGMiner/Raspberry PI. In total around 7.2TH/s combined.

Hi, I like this pool, but I have a simple question! Can 80TH find a block? By luck, for example? And has this ever happened? I want to know some of these things so I don't have to pay the energy cost for nothing.
Thank you.

Yes indeed, its a gamble but others have won blocks with lower hash rates than 80TH

According to solochance.com your odds are

Chance per block: 1 in 12,012,250
Chance per day: 1 in 83,418
Time estimate: 229 years

Significantly better odds than winning the lottery, but still a long shot nevertheless.

But, nothing ventured and all that!

Good luck...
