best share would be better as % luck on luckpool.org if possible
Hmm are you saying the miner with the âmostâ amount of shares should be rewarded the entirety of the block?
No, the miner which find the block should be full rewarded 
You spoke about %luck. Do you mean a Page with Statistics like Block: ⌠Mineraddress: âŚLuck: ⌠or Realtime % Luck such solorider.io. I would prefer the Stats Page only. I hope you understand what I mean ^^ Sry for my poor English.

I pointed 1 rig at zogpool. Diff is fixed at 0x00800? I think its very low.
Upping the difficulty now on both zogpool and luck pool. I agree this is too low.
may be this 0x000f0f0f or its a bit high?
Itâs equivalent to solo mining. Which support for solo mining zcash is currently lacking.
You can use this pool like a proxy service for connecting all of your mining devices over stratum protocol. So whether you have a 20kH/s farm or only a 120H/s gpu, you can use http://luckpool.org like a solo mining wallet.
This is good for large farms who expect to frequently find blocks and do not want to split the reward for doing so. As well as though with small hash power who still want a chance of minting a block.
We had someone with 200H/s mint a block on zogpool so I know itâs possible, however very unlikely.
I have lowered the target on http://luckpool.org
Could go even lower
New target
0x000f080000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Should be good until if/when zcash diff reduces by half.
Edit,
the stats api is linked to the shares atm, so reports are off. Working on a fix.
Thanks for the update. Still no block.
How do you compute the reward if i may ask?
Someone just put 40,000sol/s on luckpool so they should probably get a block at some point in the next day. The difficulty is up to 39,000,000 sol/s a second. Even with 10,000 sol/s you wont see a block for maybe a week these days.
I added a luckFee parameter that takes the luck percent away from the block reward and gives it to the person who found the block regardless of how many shares.
Finder gets the block reward
how did you fix the stats api after you changed the stratum diff ?? i have done the same but i dont know for sure what to change to fix the stats api
Iâm new to mining, could somebody explain what solo mining reward means?
Our luckpool user with 40kH/s has found two blocks within a few hours. very lucky

Congrats!
Hey, solo mining just means that if you find the solution to a block, you get the reward. Pools split the winnings usually by collected shares. Here shares are ignored. Winner gets everything as shown above.

@voxelot Can I use Claymoreâs miner on luckpool? If so, what does the config look like? Thanks!
Yes you should be able to.
The stats reporting is incomplete if you look at the code base. The difficulty stratum message sent to miners is hardcoded. I am spending some time completely overhauling the api and will submit PRs to the public repo to support eXtremal when done.
But first some turkey breaks.
the first block was mined by a different miner then the luckpool shows in the stats page.

Same with the second block. The software is designed this way and working correctly. https://explorer.zcha.in/blocks/00000000013a97e69000f8198baa3e9cf711ae9500b64592e20a3ebe6adebeff
Itâs because the pools wallet generates the coinbase tx so that is the pools address. This is unlike the only other solo pool I have seen that puts the winners address in the new block i believe (canât see their code).
This allows our pool to mine directly to exchange addresses that donât accept coinbase txs. This also helps prevent txs from getting lost.
We also move the coinbase tx to a pool z_addr before rewarding the winner to improve anonymity in the future if requested. This is zcash after all.
2nd try with luckpoolâŚ
no better situation. Rigs keep fluctuating⌠massively
Not stable as with zogpool, i just donât figure out why.
Checked DSL/DNS/network ⌠no issue
As soon i go on zogpool, all is fine
(Ethos 1.1.6 with optiminer 0.3.4)
I have fixed all of the bugs on my end and luckpool.org is now running the same way as zogpool with my updates.
We also have had no issue with a 40kH/s from one IP with optiminer so my only suggestion is to check ethos.
