Title: AntMiner S5 FoundBlocks Post by: apap on December 24, 2015, 06:07:37 AM My AntMiner S5 is report 2 FoundBlocks after just 15 hours running.
I'm using nicehash pool. Does that mean that if I were mining solo I would have 50 bitcoins by now?

They even include a hack in their cgminer fork version that allows them to do this without you even knowing and no log of it on the console in the normal running mode. It was obviously mining an alt-coin if it found blocks. ... hopefully they paid you for that mining also ...

This will be a more probable explanation. The blocks are not bitcoin but other altcoin. If they are bitcoin, you are very lucky. |
