We're hosting a team solo mining run - aka Block Party - for Whitepaper Day 🎃
What is a Block Party?
A block party is a solo mining run with a team.
How it works
- Many folks buy-in for a large amount of hashrate, which is then sent to a solo mining "pool" (CKPool) where the miner who finds the block earns the full block reward (6.25 bitcoin + fees!)
- If a block is found, the organizer distributes the reward
- Block parties do not use a traditional mining pool, there is a large chance of earning no reward

Fun, im in 🙂
Hurray!
If a block were to be won, how is the payout distributed ?
The share of reward is based on how much hashrate you contribute. See “potential reward per TH/s” on the details tab.
^ and you’ll enter in your btc address in your account profile (there will be an email reminder for this once the mining starts)
Oh ya but how do i actually receive it, i get an email to provide a btc address ?
Look under “refund address” under View my account.
You’ll get an email reminder to set this, too
Do you offer solo mining on the regular or is this just for the white paper bday ? Or is regular hash renting only possible via pools with accounts? Thanks
Today's block party is a special event.
Normally, we just sell hashrate and you send it directly to your mining pool account.
Rigly sells hashrate in 2 formats:
Spot hashrate allows you to start mining right away. The auctions allow you to buy hashrate in future difficulty epochs - with open market pricing.
Fascinating. Ya i just tried out the instant hash, worked perfectly. So is that an individual machine that is delivering the hash from some maker working with you ?
Nice!
Yes, we have a couple mining farm partners who sell hashrate via our marketplace.
Their mining rigs point to our stratum proxy, where the hash is forwarded to your mining pool account.
I paid for 88 terahash and so far getting about 100. Guess i got a good machine ☺️
Gotta love this post where the user gets a negative 1546 margin using rigly

somethings not rigth
Hi, I just replied to that thread -- the low earnings appear to be due to mining on Braiins pool, for a short time frame when the pool found few (or zero) blocks.
Different pools have different payout formats which impact the per-day earnings.
honestly the project seams nice.. but those numbers came out bad

Doesnt matter what they earned, did they deliver the hashrate ?
dont ask me.. Seams not with those massive losses..
better buy your own lottery miner i guess..
never before had seen such loss on a mining order.. i had losses on orders, like a minus 3..
having a minus 1500 is plain ridiculous
"Lottery miners" like the nerdminer are worse than lotteries.
Although a bit dramatic, Luke Dash Jr echoes some of these sentiments:

I don't know what -3 means to you here but mining isn't always profitable, especially if it's only over 24h and with a potentially weak hashrate (the linked post didn't say). I don't know how you arrived at the conclusion that you'd never have any losses with mining, it's just not realistic.
i had losses.. in small amounts,
If you calculate the margins a minus 1500 means a HUGE loss..
I know lottery miners are shit but at least you get your tiny hash running everyday with better odds i guess
Block party started
Details to come!
And ... no block found this time :(
