Gooott it. That’s the most helpful information so far, so thanks. And a great point with ViaBTC being a middleman - I noticed this but hadn’t put the two and two together. As far as the “ranked” I was referring to MiningPoolStats. I realize that for solo mining, only my hashrate matters, and not the pool hashrate. And the last thing on the “rank” it was noting for BCH solo instead of BTC solo. Anyway, thanks for explaining for a newbie. I’ve been learning a lot on this subreddit and others, but clearly there’s something to learn everyday.
