Da ich selbst auf der Suche nach einer Hosting Location bin finde ich den Beitrag sehr interessant hier.

Was ich erwarten würde als Kunde ist ein Remote Zugriff auf den Miner mit der man jederzeit den Pool selbst konfigurieren kann.
Offensichtlich verwendet ihr ja auch BraiinOS - dort könnte man z.B. auch die Performance remote einstellen und sich auf ein vorbezahltes Kontigent an Power anpassen.
Zweiteres würde ich sogar noch einsehen wenn es aus luktrativen Gründen nicht zur Verfügung steht.

Was ein absoluter Party-Sprenger ist, dass auf euer Wallet gemint wird  Huh Shocked Huh
Da braucht man noch nicht einmal den Pool wechseln (in BraiinsOS ist das übrigens ein Toggle Btn, würde niemand merken), sondern kann willkürlich auszahlen.

Bin etwas fassungslos, dass da Leute überhaupt Kunde werden wollen.

Die Aussage, dass Hauptkunden Großinverstoren und Firmen sind (wo die "kleinen Nebensachen" eher nicht stören), halte ich schlichtweg für erfunden.
Oder gibt es einen anderen Grund hier für jeden kleinen 1-3 Miner Typen zu kämpfen?

2023 und man wird immer noch abgezockt in DE unfassbar.

Just use ckpool, that's what I'm doing

The point of mining solo directly on our node is it might be a little bit faster.
Any fraction of a seconds counts to get the edge.
ckpool is not the best with one block per 4 months and all the intermediate connections.
FutureBit told me solo mining was not ready for release yet.
Hopefully soon.

Solo mining to your own node may have the opposite effect. ckpool's VPS is in very well-connected paid datacentre, and most likely connected to maximum amount of 125 peers. ckpool can push the block to 125 connected nodes, and to the entire world, in a matter of few seconds. What is your home upload? Most likely in tens of Mbits or slower, no match for 1Gbit upload from datacentres. If your block is not propagated well, then 20ms delay you save by not connecting to ckpool means nothing if you propagate your block in 30000ms (30s) and by then someone faster pushes hit block and yours become an orphan.

Currently my node is connected with 18 other nodes and upload for a few kb nonces cmon u dont need 1Gbit. I just bought this full node package for mining the own node. Sure ck.pool is not bad and the only option right now not supporting the big boys like ant/via etc.

When will direct node mining be offered? The full node package would be much more meaningful with mining the own node solo.

Due to the instructions from futurebit

If you want to download the Bitcoin Core wallet (which is not installed by default for obvious reasons) you need to first shutdown the node via the dashboard menu FIRST, then startup Bitcoin Core UI. The Bitcoin core wallet can not run/share the blockchain data at the same time as the node is running. If you are setting up the wallet for the first time, make sure you select /media/nvme/Bitcoin as the default folder otherwise it will start to download the blockchain on your SD card which will cause you lots of headaches (will fix this with symlinks in an update)

I am a bit confused. BTC Core wallet can not run/share data at the same time as the node is running - is this only for the initial process or do I have to turn off the node each time I want to use BTC Core wallet for transactions?
