welcome to Rabids quick tips and i'm going to show you a quick way to find the best solo mining pool
for yourself first thing you are going to need is this two miners stratum ping tool so you're
going to come into here link in the description to this github page scroll on down and just pick the
operating system that you do use tutorial purposes this will be done in windows so you're going to
download this extract it and move on to the next step so now you're going to want to pool to kind
of test out now most of us know two miners does except for ethereum classic i am using ethereum
classic in this case and they have a solo mining pool but it's 1.5 so i don't want that right away
i'm like hell no get out of here so i'm scrolling down and wooly pooly actually has a 0.9 solar
pool now they don't have the btc payouts but if you're in it for pure profitability i do think
etc has the potential to maybe times six to times eight at the current market to the next bull run
where bitcoin will is the safest bet but it could potentially maybe only see a four or five times so
for future gains purposes i think it's safer to huddle the etc coins again do whatever you want
two miners does have that btc payout option so i am on wooly pooly now i went to connection here
and now you're going to want to pick the closest stratum too now remember when solomon you want
the lowest latency as you possibly can find i'm going to go with canada here to test it out we're
going to open up our tool i'm gonna edit the uh ethermine one here and we're just gonna change
the address i already have it in the wooly pulley it will normally say ethermine here so you're just
gonna erase that pool copy in that save it and then we're gonna run this ping tool so if i double
click on it now it's running a ping test over to wooly pooly the reason we want the lowest latency
is that you can send those shares to the pool the fastest with the least amount of latency and
potentially have less stale shares and be able to get the reward if you do find that solo block now
if you find the solo block and some other pool or some other miner does at the same time it could
potentially end up as an uncle so you do want to get to that pool as fast as possible and that is
why finding the lowest latency is key now once the tool has been run we can see our latencies at the
pool so minimum average and max 75 79 and 85 so that's actually not too bad but you are going to
want to test other pools depending on the fee that you do willing to pay i guess for yourself but
you're going to want to test out other pools to find the absolute loss so if i'm just for testing
purposes i'm going to try two miners to see what my ping is so to test out two miners we're gonna
go back to mining pool stats and find the two miners pool i also see that hero miners is only
0.9 percent so i'm going to try that one as well so now we're just going to right click here open
a new tab find the 2 miner solo pool we're going to want to click a quick how-to it how to start
find the stratum we're going to use so usa is the closest for me where i am they don't have a
canadian option now we're just going to edit this file again so we're just going to delete exactly
what we just put in earlier for wooly pooly bring that back paste that in file save it and then
just run the tool again and now we'll be checking actually that's the wrong one we need ether mine
so now you can see we're doing etc two minor solo here and it's running our ping and it should say
we're at 93 95 and 97 so our latency is a little bit higher here on top of having a higher fee
i'm not going to go with two miners unless you want that btc payout and for one final test i
did run over to hero miners because it's also 0.9 so i'm just going to copy that edit this one more
time so you can really see what's going on three examples should be good and then you should have
this figured out so we're gonna copy that in save it go back into our tool now if i could find it we
got our tool and now we just run it one last time it's running through the latencies here and we got
a hole 185 187 and 189 so i am definitely not using hero miners and that's a canadian connection
which i'm about to try some now because if this is an east coast canadian connection maybe a west
coast north american usa connection is probably better so this might be a nice example to showcase
for you guys so i'm going to do this actually one more time just to see if a usa would be
better because like i said that could be an east coast server where i am on the west coast so we're
just going to close that open it up ping it one more time and see if this usa west is any better
and we're still 193 195 197 so that does not look like the case hero miners you're a giant x for me
i am going to go with wooly pooly if i was to solo mine ethereum classic all right guys so i hope you
enjoyed this rabbids quick tips guide here on how to find potential solo pools the fastest you can
go another method like setting up your miner and then pointing out a pool trying it for a while and
seeing what kind of latency is on your shares but utilizing this two miners tool makes it that much
quicker thank you for watching i'll see you on the next one Rabid out thank you for watching my video
and if you haven't seen one of these be sure to check them out and if you already seen them
maybe you missed some might have to watch it one more time and if you just let it play in the
background that's all right as well i do try to live stream every weekend as well as every couple
days during the week so be sure to be subscribed so you don't miss that as always have a great day
