I did respond to your comment and explained why I don't recommend solo miners to mine on your pool. And I also underlined that everyone is free to form their own opinion and decide where they want to mine. I said that…

Thanks for sharing your point of view. That's why I said I personally don't like potential profit going to a "third" party first. I wouldn't want to watch my >6.25 BTC profit get transferred to you, and shortly after…

Correct. That's exactly what I wrote in the first thread: Your pool has not yet found a block in "solo" mode and therefore the important note, one should not compare apples with oranges and to correctly interpret the…

The screenshots give an impression of which statistical data and functions are available and to what extent a pool is in demand and many users exist or not. If you really care about sensitive data of your users (as you…

EDIT: important info: I checked the solo mining pools presented in the second post for the Coinbase transaction they generate. For those who don't know what the coinbase transaction is --> this is the very first…

Hey fellow miners I want to share some of my experiences, adventures, and thoughts from the past few weeks and months about solo mining. This should serve as both a guide and a review for those who are in similar…

Hi Loyce, I replied to your initial question and hope you'll get it sorted out. citb0in

It may be that he is involved in wind farms and / or has relationships with such persons or institutions. This is not uncommon and some even know one personally and could put a device there that is likely to operate up…

Thanks for this great explanation and linking to the document. Does this explain why nonce2 traversal is so slow in comparison to nonce, because nonce2 cycling is kept in CPU ? Would it be possible to send nonce2 to the…

Very well explained, thank you. Let's assume nonce2 would be also an unsigned 32 bit integer and the ASIC miner very powerful with a superior hash rate. What would happen when nonce2 range is exhausted before a new…

I did so But as I said, I am even struggling in getting the nonce value displayed. I have changed the status bar to see which nonce currently was processed but I get "0" displayed all the time for the nonce. I also…

I am trying to understand and see live what exactly happens in the mining process. Yes, I did "freeze" ntime for that educational purpose in the example above. I did not freeze nonce2 but I increased the timer from…

Hi jack1cryptotalk007, yes, correct. I am working on gen_solo_work because I'm not using a pool, I'm mining on my own bitcoind node. I'm aware of the reason nonce and nonce2 are used. It is very well explained here and…

Hi n0nce, it is just for education purposes, trying to understand and fiddling in the code.

I know that it represents the timestamp in UNIX time format. But I would like to understand where in the program code the 5 seconds are pulled from. I can't find the corresponding place in cgminer.c EDIT: Meanwhile…

Hi Snowy Pear, thank you for creating an extra new account to reply to me. I looked into submit_noffset_nonce, but I just couldn't manage to change ntime variation to a different value every 5 seconds or turn it off…

Hey everyone, I’ve got some questions about how mining works with cgminer. I’ve done a bit of reading on the topic. Here’s a snippet showing cgminer mining on the mainnet (connected to bitcoind @localhost) using a…

From what I've been reading so far I also would say that multi-sig creation is possible with a private key. If I were Alice or Bob I would hesitate to use my "master" key or any other information related to my seed of…

Thanks, will read through and try it. Can you also point to a link related to Bitcoin core which described the procedure? I'd like to test it also manually with bitcoind commands to strengthen my understanding. Of…
