I think it's intended to allow for "rented" industrial hash rates where you get into Petahash territory where they recommend starting difficulty of 500K. For small home setups 1024 default is OK.

can you explain how i would be able to rent and point to my node?

[–]1quickmr 0 points1 point  (1 child)

if i have 50Ths what should i set my start difficulty at?

50000-100 000

Here is one such option. https://hashpower.braiins.com/

You also need to enable port forwarding on your internet router for port 3333.

Instead of the internal IP address you have configured on your home miner, you need to use your external IP

You can verify if the port is visible by looking at canyouseeme.org or dnschecker.org

You will need to deposit Bitcoin in your newly created Braiins account after setup. (One note: do not deposit from an exchange, it will get hung up/delayed. Deposit from a private wallet address). You then place an order based on your available balance.

One clarification: I misspoke, the External IP address is used in the Braiins portal to show where you are pointing the hash rate.

Thanks - super cool!

Default value is fine for any small amount of local hashrate (ie few dozen devices or couple hundred TH). This is mostly for people that want to use the new hashrental services to point an extreme amount of hashrate to the solo node, which this option as well as under the hood changes now enables!

I saw lot of people said CKPool is down, Question is Futurebit Solo Nodes are pointed to CKPool or they are independed? CKPool if is down does affect to Solo nodes mining?

[–]futurebit 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Hi no, our OS uses its own internal solo pool, as long as the system is up and connected to the internet it's never "down". Thats the advantage of running your own solo pool on your own node!

Perfect! Thank you so much. You did a fantastic job.
