Congratulations to miner bc1qdyqjq9qccp34pyv3kxmsrkn7p0amnsqqy8kdeq with a wildly variable - presumably rental - hashrate peaking at 100PH for solving the 317th solo block at http://solo.ckpool.org! Despite the chaos from the hardware wallet exploit, bitcoin just keeps on doing its tick-tock next block.

Stratum V2 is now live on all

Solo CKPool - Anonymous Bitcoin Mining

servers after extensive validation and testing - thanks to all who pointed their hashrate to the experimental server. Regular stratum (V1) mining continues unaffected. Restarts also would have caused no discernible downtime to miners. SV2 is accessible on the unified stratum URL on discrete ports: stratum2+tcp://stratum.ckpool.org:3336/9anrRNhBh7869XtNnFcCuGBRZP51E635qGbu457J5kHdszhfRc3 and port 4336 for highdiff mining rentals only. As per stratum V1, you will be directed to the lowest latency pool for your location. Job declaration is supported on port 3337 but I am recommending against using it until further stratum V2 developments make it sensible to use on a solo pool. The sv2solo domain used by testers will keep working as an alias to the stratum domain so you need not reconfigure your miners if they're already connected. Final shout-out and thanks goes to mineracks for providing hardware and hosting for the AU server, and dealing with my demanding support requests. Mine on!

Solo CKPool - Anonymous Bitcoin Mining

now has a unified stratum endpoint for all the servers at stratum.ckpool.org. This will automatically choose the lowest latency pool for your endpoint, and fail over to the next nearest in the unlikely event of any outage or internet routing issue. Stratum connections are very long-lived, so if you do fail over, you may not fail back even when the best pool is available again. You may still use the existing direct configurations to each of the pools but without the advantage of failover support. It will however guarantee you only ever connect to the endpoint of your choice.

For anyone mining at @Rigly's blockparty, know that you can mine at any of the the solo ckpools as they combine stats and the aggregated stats will be at

Congratulations to RiglyBlockParty with 150PH from their combined party for mining solo block 315 at http://solo.ckpool.org! This much hashrate has about a 1 in 50 chance of mining a block each day.

New stats site for testing:

CKstats

Real-time and historical statistics for the CKPool Bitcoin mining pool using data from their API.

. This site aggregates the statistics for all solo pools on one page. Assuming everything works as planned, it will replace the need for separate stats sites for each solo pool, making it easier to deploy more locations.

Congratulations to miner 3Qef~LfPJg for solving the 314th solo block at solo.ckpool.org! This was a big miner who's been renting 500PH for the last 5 hours.
