[∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved!

[o_solo_miner]

Think about the cost and time, con spend on it for just having the user happy.
The future will not be better on diff raise and electr. cost for miners, so it will be a decreasing numbers of
miners in lets say 1 year.

The current DE server appears to be handling things fine so I'll leave it as is for now.

Alas mining with a lower ping time won't find blocks any faster.

Another brief blip in the DE server mining coming up.

EDIT: Complete

  watching as always, if i could...

I'm planning to bounce the main pool again today for a minor bugfix (despite me saying it wasn't going to happen for a while) but I'm waiting for either the next block find or the heavy hitting rentals to calm down. It doesn't mean I want you to stop hashing, this is just advance notification that there will be a very brief blip in mining coming up.

And  I'd like to point out that block was only 3 minutes after the previous block but was still a full block.

Now I'll be restarting the pool as I discussed earlier.

EDIT: Restart complete. Mine on!

Here we go...Just joined. S4 + S5, little overclocking, 3,600 GH/s.

Edit  ; changed my mind. I prefer to wait in january.

Just dicking with the tube proxy on port 3335 at the moment so you may notice some up and down action.

EDIT: The dicking is over, tube proxy back online working as it was previously.

Con,
Would you be so kind to explain what is the story with this commit.

Don't use persistent connections to bitcoind
https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool/commits/d2d5a5daaad5d6e2f969d8479b6752ef667e4b06

I never had an issue with presistent connections to BTCD and lo-127.0.0.1. In my understanding it will take longer to reopen tcp on each rpc call or I am missing something.......

Thanks

Newer bitcoind keeps dropping out during the rpc calls meaning they needed to be reopened and repeated and I needed a workaround - I couldn't find out why it started doing this. In my benchmarking, reopening the connection every time added less than 1ms to rpc calls when the rpc calls themselves take up to 100s of milliseconds but stopped them dropping out in the middle of the rpc calls.

Thank you very much that makes sense.

Con,

How much could a dishonest pool operator influence who gets awarded a solo block?  is it even possible at all?   

I am in NO WAY implying anything about CKpool.  I am just curious about other altcoin solo pools coming online now.  Can they be trusted?
