Bitcoin Forum

=============
====Objective===
=============
To pool money together to solo mine blocks as a group.

I collect money to rent mining rigs from nicehash, then I point them at http://solo.ckpool.org/ (http://solo.ckpool.org/) and hope we find a block.

You may get money back, and you may not get money back. It all depends on if we find a block or not. If we do find a block we will divide the block up and give each person that bought in the exact same amount. If not, you will receive nothing back. Invest / Gamble at your own risk

If you would like to withhold some funds as a donation to -ck for running his pool and being a great developer in the community. I will hold it and create a transaction including everyone's donations and post on -ck's thread that will include everyone that chooses to donate.

If anyone was interested in this idea, I wouldn't mind running it for free.

====Template====
==============



==============
=====Terms=====
==============

• Once 10 people have joined a group, 24 hours will be allowed for any straglers that want to join (or up to majority rule)
• Payments and information will be given/processed ASAP.
• Rentals will be for roughly 24hours worth of hashrate. If majority rule, it can be set to a certain amount of hash (like an ounce, a pound or a kilo. wait wrong hash)
• Questions should be posted in the thread incase other people have the same question, unless it involves private information.
• No IOU's.
• Have fun, but not too much that you go completely broke. Only risk what you can afford.

====================
=====Extra Mining Rigs====
====================
If you do choose to donate extra mining rigs and hashrate, it is on your own dime. But it increases our chances as a collective. And also Thank You if you choose to do so.
I only ask that you name it a worker, please name it something other than BBUGxxxx. This will help you and me identify workers.

This no doubt is coming from a reputable forum member, can some one please check if this account password have been changed lately.

I can provide signed messages as far back as my first trades, but I only recently staked my address in the address staking thread by tomatocage.

I only wanted to offer this because some other pooled funds have come up, and I wouldn't want to see people get burned on it.

Checked . No changes with the account password recently.

Great then, how long will 0.5 BTC gets a little over 100TH run, i can see 24 hours.

At 0.0045 per TH its 111TH for 24hours.
At 0.0047 per TH its 106TH for 24hours.
At 0.0048 per TH its 104TH for 24hours.

i hope i got a 0.5btc :3 but i think i can join right? you will mine on may 28 right? so maybe i can gather 0.5 btc at that day :D

If this is successful, I probably will continue it for a while. The poll only is meant to end so that after 120 days I can see the results.

noted mate. but i need to collect 0.5 btc :)

Put me in the group for 1x 0.05BTC ;D

I most probably will end up investing more :)

in regard to this, when would you be starting these runs? feel free to pm me, i am quite interested.

thx

Once we get 10 people, I will leave it open for a day or two to gather extra people if the group wants that.

which group are you primarily trying to fill? .05, .5, 2 BTC? and have any others already contacted you and put their name/btc in?

Starting out, I would like to fill the .05 group. But if people are wanting the higher then I will also do those.

i am fine with any of the above. i'll try to keep an eye on this, but in the event you are looking for that last person to fill a slot and I have not yet posted in here please pm me.

1 ticket for the 0.05 club please :)

Just made a run at it myself and currently found 1 block using 800TH power.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.msg13723757#msg13723757 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.msg13723757#msg13723757)

Don't think I'll invest until you start running the 1 or 2ph groups, I don't really see 100th getting lucky enough. Each run the EU counterparts did, it seems they were running 500th-1ph. If you want to bump it up and try 500th instead of 100th, I'd probably down for that.

That's pretty cool, Congratulations.

You're in. I will update the list once I get home.

Do you have an address available to send Bitcoin back to in the event of a win?

I'm feeling lucky :D Just let me sync up my BTC wallet and I'll send 0.05BTC to the 1st Group address and PM you my return address.

The more the merrier !

Working on building up my BTC stash and then count me in for sure! I already run an s1 at solo.ckpool trying the lottery anyways :) I'm glad to see groups trying to split the cost of this... 800 TH/s is quite pricey for a low-level miner lol

Add me to the .05 run

Added, best of luck :D

Currently 3/10 positions filled for Group #1 (0.05 per person), which will rent hash with at least 0.5 BTC once 10 people join.

i wanna join! :-*

Just copy and paste the template, and send funds for the appropriate group. And you'll be in :D

i wanna join!! but please wait more few hour ;D i hope can make it on time.. waiting for some payment today..
im goin for 0.05 group ;D hopefully that enough..

We will start mining once 10 people join, so don't worry. Once we get 10 people there will also be room for extras that join within 24 hours, if the rest of the group wants it.

Hi ezeminer,

   I'm just new to bitcoin and I have 0.05 on my wallet, want to join this thing since you have a very good trust rating, but could you please enlighten me on what this is all about? I want to learn and at the same time I want to earn.  ;D Pardon me for my noobness.

Lets do this ;D :)

Sure I wouldn't mind explaining this.
So everyone pools funds together to rent hash. I rent the hash for everyone and point it back at the address you send your funds too. If we hit a block the address will have a new input for roughly 25 BTC. I then divide it among all participants and send out all payments, also ask if you want to hold back any funds for donations to -ck. If not you get your cut.

Added, Good Luck!


Bump.

Hard to believe only three people signed up so far!

4 people are in Group#1 so far actually ;D

Be interesting to see it hit 9, pm me when it does.

cmon now throw in your  0.05btc just to help the ball roll faster

Even though I said to myself I wouldn't participate, I will join the group to try and get more people into this.

I want too

I wonder how long it'll take to fill these spots?

Hopefully soon. I know the German group currently has 1PH for like 4 1/4 days, or 22 BTC worth. So far at least through a day or two.

maybe we should set a time frame and start a round regardless of the number of players?

It is up to you guys, I am down for whatever happens.

I personally have tried with 400TH for a few hours a few times and got nothing, 3Hrs gives you 18 Chances on average to hit a Bitcoin block, the longer the rental the better, I say wait for more participants.

^^ slow and steady wins the race, figuratively (patience is a virtue). you are already only going in with only 100th, so you would definitely want as much time on the cock to increase your odds. the German group is running at 1ph, and they haven't found anything yet, so that should tell you something. why be impatient and decrease your odds.

They have like 10 coins left, and a couple hours on their 1PH rental, so almost halfway done there. 22coins, and 1PH rentals is like 4.25 days worth of mining time. That would be crazy if they did not hit a block AT LEAST. But it also wouldn't surprise me, mining is a gambling game, it just depends if you have enough luck.

here's what I thought we do a run,  post the results and start a new one

How about this, I'll wait till Saturday about mid-day to start. Rent 24 hours of hash and we will see what happens.

Sounds good

Actually looking at the difficulty adjustment, we should probably start sunday at mid-day. Just because the difficulty will change roughly when I am sleeping.

I hope that doesn't bother you.

Can I still join with 0.05BTC ?

how many do you have as of now?

Yes you can, just send your investment to the Group #1 address and post your return address & TX id.

LOL, I mean its 0.05 BTC ~$20, pocket change, why not. Hopefully we get enough for at least 100th for 24hrs, to make it remotely worth it hah. Should be not have enough by time your ready to run it, pm me, I'll probably add more to ensure at least 100th.

Added to the list.


And honestly, congrats to them. They threw 22BTC at it, you would hope they find a block :D its like an 88% chance of hitting a block with that much invested into hashrate.

I know, congrats is in order, wonder if they will just break even or find some more..?

I will join in the fun, reserve me a spot for group 1 and I'll send the 0.05 when I get home in a couple of hours.

Alright. Fair warning I will start the order at 8PM GMT Tomorrow, anyone that has not sent funds in by that time is SOL. So far we have 8 paid, totaling 0.4BTC

Thanks

No problemo.

Update for participants: I added a little extra (0.075) for a little good luck bonus. Currently the wallet has 0.525, and can be confirmed here: https://blockchain.info/address/3AgQHPwfXddFoSn9qY3sn1rbPmto75T42V (https://blockchain.info/address/3AgQHPwfXddFoSn9qY3sn1rbPmto75T42V)

0.45 from participants (including me) and 0.075 from myself. If we were to hit a block, the current payout would be split 9 ways, but Angus would receive two of those based on the amount put forth (0.1 total).

Based on the difficulty, it looks like hash rental prices will drop 20% by the time we start mining. It'll be a change of 0.0044 to roughly 0.0035 per TH. We will have 150TH for 24 hours at this moment.

Good luck to you my friend hope this ends well :) and i hope i can join soon :)

Well if he's going to do it... Double me up as well.

Y'all are getting happy :P

when are you running this?

Once this last transaction confirms I'll place the buy order.

which last transaction? the one the the rentals? or someone else getting in on it?

I sent the rest of the money from my wallet to the nicehash wallet. The only reason I keep this setup is to return money without having to pay nicehash's fees of 0.0005 to return it. It also makes it easier to track money because each address holds different variants of funds.

got ya looking forward to seeing it run.

Great ! Lets pray to the cryptogods we find a block !

I might have been trying the different workers to see what happens.

Good stuff let's see where this goes.

Hi, I'm from the german team.
I wish you all the best I can. I tell you, it's fu**ing exciting ;-)
I hope you get a few blocks...

This is great idea
too bad i dont have enough BTC to join

So what are the approximate chances of finding a block if I mine solo? :P

Depends on hashrate and duration of mining. But it also depends on current difficulty.

http://solo.ckpool.org/users/1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX
Am I reading this wrong 0 hashrate?

Yes.

People are buying at 0.0039 and 0.0040, I'm just waiting it out a little because there are two orders above us for a combined 2.6ph.

If the group wants to bump up the price it is possible, just slightly less mining time. If prices go down then I could drop the price a little to try and get more mining time.

Mining address is wrong use a fullstop and not an underscore, that is why hashrate is reading 0 right now.

Edit: Just seen the msg above, Didn't want our hash to go to waste, I will throw a couple of my own rigs onto the address with a different worker name just to try to increase our chances  ;D

The master address:
http://solo.ckpool.org/users/1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX (http://solo.ckpool.org/users/1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX)

This is the worker that I am mining to:

The BBUG1001 is an identifier for me,
"Block Breakers United Group 1 (attempt) 001"
is what it really means.

  ??? We are far off the 150T mark

Edit: I missed your post about waiting in line for rentals

Danke Schoen!!!!

No problem. Looking at the numbers, if you add 0.0001 to the prices, you lose about a half hour with our funds and our current hashrate.

The ExtraLuck workers on the statistics page are my own personal miners that I have pointed to the Group#1 address for "Extra Luck" ;D

how much are you pointing at it?

Just my older rigs, about 1TH give or take.

I see, maybe I haven't read or seen it, but why is the main one hashing so low?

Pretty much sums it up, now we wait :)

What happened to the prices at nicehash ???

Edit : never mind I was looking at scrypt, to much to drink tonight :P

Bitcoin Network difficulty has gone up from 120G to 144G, Hopefully our group gets very, very, very lucky.

indeed

Reason why I held over the start time a bit, we would be paying .0045 instead of .0038 :P

please give us a bump on the thread when you start hashing :)

Also for extra luck I'd like to point my sp20, should I just input the btcaddress.whatever or do I have to create an account?

Cheers !

were hashing again

Our order is looking good currently, luckily the bigger orders have calmed down.
We have 0.355 left, hopefully we can do it :D

https://i.gyazo.com/246ce3e98a47c1eed82a624553630edd.png

Can you explain me how will it work?
I mean suppose I am investing 0.05 BTC here. So what are the chances of getting ROI and in how many days will it reach ROI?
And what percentage of shares will be distributed to each investor after a block is solved?

Also how about using that address 1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX externally as worker by me on ck pool with my miners? What will be the subsidy then? ;)

This is more gambling, but it requires people to invest to pool money together to rent mining rigs. We then point the mining rigs at http://solo.ckpool.org/ (http://solo.ckpool.org/)

So say 10 people invest 0.05 each, we rent some rigs and find a block. The block will be divided equally among each person that has a share. If we get a block, then you ROI. If we do not get a block there is no return. This is like buying a lottery ticket, you may win, and you may not win.


Edit: Updated the OP, trying to work on creating a cleaner format for users.

But better chances then the lotto, with 24Hrs of rental time the miners of the network have on average 144 chances of hitting a block, it comes down to hashpower and luck, renting big power for long periods of time is expensive by yourself that is why this service exists so it takes some of the risk out with others throwing into the pot together to achieve the same goal.

Hey ezeminer nice job throwing this together. I was wondering if you might consider opening smaller pools? I know that alot of ppl get weekly signature payments(i know because i employ them :) ) but those guys may be interested in say a 20 person pool at .025 per person. Just an idea of course but you may find a few guys

It could be an idea for the future, it is just that 0.5 BTC on rentals realistically gets you roughly 2% chance of getting a block. The more people that join, the harder it gets to manage. But i will consider it.

What happened to the rental ? Hashrate has dropped down to 50TH... was it a disconnection from the stratum server ? Maybe try using port 3334 for the US Server, also are they DE Rigs or US Rigs ?

How long is left as well ?

The rental was beat out in price for a little bit of time, thus decreasing the hash for a little.

I'm renting on the westhash side to mine at ck's solo pool.

Roughly 6 to 7 hours is left on rentals, I'll have to check when I get home.

I fired up my S1 threw it at the pool, although I gotta disconnect it in the morning, the hotel doesn't allow it, calls it a fire hazard  ::)

Well if the miner does hit a block, it would be on fire. It couldn't comprehend that it beat astronomical odds :P

Also an Update, we have 5 hours left.
https://i.gyazo.com/c3c7de60648c51fc9dcd63f579007ef2.png

So the rental is over.

Our bestshare:
7,144,260,711

Just multiply by 20 and we are good :D

Could you brief me about this...
Since you didnt get any block...
Do still profit from Our bestshare: 7,144,260,711?..

No, nobody profits because we didn't hit a best share over the magic number at this point in time of 144Billion or to be more technical over 144,116,447,847

The next difficulty change its going to get hammered with a predicted difficulty of 174,430,176,444 in 10 & a half days time almost.

Oh well, maybe next time eh :) thanks for organising this.

too bad, but it was an insane lucky shot  ;D better luck next time.

I have joined the German Lotto guys, let's see if we are lucky there, 1PH for several dyas..  :o

Ezeminer are you starting a new run

I will be. I reset the list.

I'm in, same deposit address or are you changing it for the second run?

Same address. Also updated to have a changelog for my changes and resets.

Added both of you guys, also added a start time for February 23rd (in case 10 people don't fill spots fast enough). It looks like that will be a couple days after the difficulty adjustment. For the most part rig prices look to be higher around the difficulty adjustments.

I've been trying to get attention with it in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1352073.msg13768735#msg13768735   add your 2 satoshi's to bump it the top every once and awhile

Hey guys.. is now round #2 for 10 members open yet?
how the results for the round #1, have any luck?

Round #2 is open for Group #1

Our bestshare was 7Billion for the first run.

Put me in Dude..  ;D
And where I should send the 0.05 for Group #1 ?
** Anyway, might if you put the polling address to your SpreadSheet.

In the OP under the pricing there are the addresses to send funds to. This is the same for the spreadsheet.

In the OP there is also a template to help me setup information for the spreadsheet.

Do you think people would also be interested in setting up a Solo Merged Mining Group for LTC Blocks & DOGE Blocks combined ?

You could incorporate it into a separate side of the OP or a seperate Announcement with a "much lower buy in" for a better chance of finding a block but of course a Litecoin one.

Every LTC block on average equates to about 0.2-0.25BTC ATM if selling them.

I have taken the risk by myself not that long back & hit a LTC block & a few DOGE blocks, so it is viable.

I have kind of narrowed down the luck to bigger rigs instead of many small ones, but then again that is just personal preference.

What are everyone's thoughts ?

We are the Block Breakers & we are United :D

I like the idea, but I'm a gambler at heart

I like the idea, but it would be more than I would personally like to handle. Also I am not exactly an alt-coin holder, maybe dogecoin to help the Jamaican Bobsled team.

Hi guys,

a made a little PHP Script for the Lotto-Run-Statistics

feel free to test it

http://pastebin.com/GkpJm5x5

you need to edit Lines 20/39 everything else can be as it is
upload to webspace with php and here we go :)

Live from the German-Lotto-Run: http://cig-bitcoin.lima-city.de/test.php

pretty neat

thanks
i am still "developing" ... just getting ideas and little code optimisations.

20 people said they'd participate according to the poll but only 3 participants 🤔

Thanks ammi for the script!
The script has been set up and uploaded to my website: http://zeroxal.xyz/

@ezeminer
Please give me the pool info once the mining starts, so I can update the script to work. (Its currently using 1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX_BBUG1001 as worker at ckpool)

Question:

1. For Group 1: Can I enter 2 entries?, ie. worker1 and worker2

2. What is the estimated BTC payout for members in Group 1, if we hit a block?

If 10 members join and we find a block that contains exactly 25 BTC, then it would be distributed evenly throughout 10 people - everyone gets 2.5 BTC

You can do 2 entries. You will get 5BTC instead of 2.5 based on 10 entries.

I will update all the entries on Monday, so do not feet if you don't see yourself on the list.

Cool thank you.

It will just change from BBUG1001 to BBUG1002 when we do start Mining.

Prolly in about a week I will start a pool for >1Ph run btw. I will start another form once I have my funds in place. Anyone that wants in, start getting your funds together as well.

Everyone has been added, list has been updated.


I will still start the 23rd because that is a better time to buy hash. Usually in the past the prices for mining rigs goes up around the difficulty changes.

Thank you everyone so far that is entered, and best of luck :D

this seams like a pretty smart thing to do.

just got fee questions.

what's the chance of getting a block to earn your btc back. correct me if inam wrong but to do this your don't need to mine at all before or have mining rigs right.?
thanks and might try this if this one gets a block.

So overall on 0.5BTC we have a 2% chance of mining a block. But on the other hand if we do, we get a 5000% profit (50x profit).

To get a block you need to be mining. It is like dice. As long as you throw dice you have a chance. If you don't have dice you have no chance. Mining also isn't progressive. Either you have a share that is above the difficulty or you do not.

I hope that helps.

Hi ezminer,

Thanks for adding my 2nd entry. I checked the spreadsheet and I think the BTC address you recorded there is wrong for 2nd entry.
The last digit is different from the BTC address I have given you.
Both entries, should have BTC return address of:

1GUz34GXCa5j5gCdtbyQKiBCrg63ETBBt8

Please help correct the error. Thanks!

No idea how that one number changed, but thanks for catching that.

Still have room to improve the odds for everyone :D

no problems... I think you use copy-paste and that will change last digit to next number which is 9 :-)

how many slots left? I can chip in a 3rd entry if needed.

You can buy in any amount of times, I only ask for 10 entries to start because it doesn't make sense doing much less than 0.5BTC for mining.

If anyone has complaints of too many entrants please express your concern early, rather than late.

more is better

can i win big amount?
interested too..

You can, currently we have 10 entries, if you join it would be 25BTC divided by 11 entries, and give each person 2.27BTC.

Hey, thanks for your confidence :D

Hopefully you get some funds, and join the fun :)


Also I will buy two tickets when I get my funds hopefully soon.

The script has been updated. It will show the stats after the mining has started. (Make sure to use BBUG1002 as worker).
When will it start?

can i join 2 ?? i dont know if it full now ?

i have 0,05Btc 2 spend

follow the instructions on the first page original post

February 23rd, it should be safe enough for renting rigs by then once everyone gets down from mining a little.

1 ticket of 0.05Btc please :)

I just need an address to send btc back to, in case we hit a block.

Stop shitting on someone else's thread.

::) ur right :

1M3vvtW4Rebxdpo5aT1JC5V86VdMsMCieH 

tia

Also you sort of straight up ripped the terms, the extra mining rigs and the objective.

Probably a Scammer.

I said based off your group.. So naturally I inherited that. Take it as a compliment. I thought you did a good job thinking of everything. I'm just interested in a larger group run, but seems like that wasn't going to happen in here with this group. So sorry I offended everyone, was just trying to get things rolling. I'll remove it all, and take a refund of my funds please.

Ohh there is, but it's invitation only and no thread shtters invited.  :D

I can refund tomorrow night, sorry that it happens like that. Trust me, it is hard getting a good group going. It is also hard to sell people on the idea. If you work to being a good person in the community, trade, be polite and stimulate the forum you can build yourself a spot.

This is true, I started an idea similar to this & ezeminer offered his services as an Escrow/Running it on the thread (This was before Block Breakers United was set up)

I decided that it would be better to instead join forces with him since we could both bring in potential risk takers & try our luck together instead of just scraping at it by ourselves hence the whole Group/Pooled Address Solo Mining.

Yes, I'm pretty sure everyone knows there is a German solo mining group as well as a few other hush hush groups that supposedly rent Th-Ph per day but most are run by low level members with no trust or post history or in another language also note that they are higher hashrate rentals on average for bigger buy-ins and BBU is just getting started with its second run.

Block Breakers United also offers bigger groups if people would like but it is best to invite others before applying for the group as you don't want to be waiting for a while for participants because of such larger buy-ins.

If there is something good going on then you should stick with it, there has been a lot more participants/buy-ins this round in the short space of time.

We may get lucky with our hashrate that we rent & hit a block OR we may not, that is the joys of gambling :D

Yes, I understand all that. It's fine I'll stay in the group for the run ezeminer. I was just being salty. I just dislike other people shitting on me \ disrespecting me even after I apologize. There are better, more respectful ways of letting someone know what they did wasn't cool. It's not that I was trying to "shit" on this thread or any other. Simply was trying to get the attention for the group. So I am sorry again.

 BTC  8)

Is this already start? Im interested to buy 1 position of 0.05..
Will make payment after confirm that this not run yet.

Check the date.

ezeminer is running it on the 23rd

Still have one day left.  So i just need make payment to the address isnt it?
Coz i saw more than 10 people right now.. i thought its still running.

All you need to do is use the template in OP and send to the address of the group you would like. I set a date because I was expecting it to be slow, and also timing the rental buy can get you better rates.

hello ezeminer,

ive just sent payment for group 1 thats 0.05btc ;D

Oh so close ;D

Please tell me when it has started ;)

5 more entries than last time, this will be an interesting go.

i guess this will start anytime later on ;D
good luck all investor here to hit nice block, seriously abit excited about this lol.

Ditto. Let's get some blocks.

The Germans got block, Willi's group. I think they rented only  250-500 THs

Really?, they are quite lucky with those blocks! with the amount of people we have in the upcoming run I would imagine we should get 250TH ish you think?

It'll be about 200-220TH this run.

Sent all the funds to nicehash, so should be running shortly.

https://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/fcf977b2f91dddcd7ce07128f796f4a9a62eaae9c91266895afbdd178b1bc10e (https://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/fcf977b2f91dddcd7ce07128f796f4a9a62eaae9c91266895afbdd178b1bc10e)

Also included my signature payments for a little extra luck. I will not be participating this round, so best of luck to all the other entrants :D

Don't run them at these prices...

I'll set an order at like 0.0033 or .0032 and wait for these massive orders to die off. Gives us like 220 to 230TH

Good idea. The asshat renting at 200% deserves to be beaten.

He must hate his money. OR he is destroying an altcoin, or making tons of money on one...

Good idea. Let's wait it out and get more th/s with the lower cost.

not really sure but wanna ask ;D is this already running? or do need to wait confirmation on txid?
how can we see our miner eehehe just curious and excited actually

i wanna join, still place on team 1 or i need to wait for team two?  8)

The asshats are paying higher again.

i guess need to wait for another round? the funds already sent to nicehash..
but i still not sure if this already running or not ;D hopefully this will hit block..

yes good luck guys, count me in the second round. willing to take the risk :) i am watching this topic so i assume u will post when second round starts. thumbs up

The transaction finally confirmed this morning, I was waiting all yesterday for it to confirm. Darn network *grumble grumble* (or me for doing a low fee or something)

I can either start the mining or leave a couple hours open to allow stragglers to get in.

Edit: I also snuck in my 0.05 entry if that is alright with everyone.

This is so exciting ::) ::)

I'm happy to wait a couple if there are people that want to join.

Damn missed this run, put me down for the next one please :).

Order 1038278 is that USA or Europe?

USA

Is the rental pointed to the US port 3334 (Rental compatible) or US port 3333 ?

are we live into the run - whats our run period again?

Great, good luck guys. Prices are back to norm again.
Just to help the cause, I am personally adding 25TH for a bit to our solo mining cause. ;)

Hey thanks, hopefully we see a block this round :D

Good luck to everyone! It will be awesome if we find a block.

im ready to in for another round this time, but can i know what are chances getting block? is it hard? if found a block.. the reward are 25btc? or its random amount of btc?
well good luck to all who invested here :) hope you guys make it.

We're going to hit 3 blocks I tell you!.

I pointed 25TH a bit ago to the solo pool sing the '1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX_BBUG1002' worker. Looks like it's working.

Depends on how much btc we use to mine with. If we use 1BTC we have a 4% chance. 10BTC 40% 25BTC 100% chance. but the 100% chance is not guaranteed. It is theoretical. We could hit 0, we could hit 3.

This also has been said many times, it doesn't matter the amount of hash when renting, it is how much you spend.

WOW! We just passed that billion mark very early..... 3 blocks here we come!!!

Just gotta beat that 163 billion mark :D

Is there an elapse timer thingy like what Willi's group did?

Last I checked it was not updating the numbers, and the worker name is exactly 1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX_BBUG1002

omg.. :o
so we have a chance to hit block? its possible to hit 3 blocks too?? this is getting exciting for me ;D
what if hit 3 block? is it 25btc x 3block? im not good with this mining project.. good luck all people, feel great to see this post.

Anything is possible  ;)

I went with a group that hit two blocks, the Germans hit two or three.

You always have a chance to hit a block, even with 1 th or less.
One block gives 25 BTC + the tx fees of the txs included in the block. If you hit 3 blocks, that is ~76 BTC which gives each of you around 7.6 BTC.
To get the block, your "share" needs to be over the network difficulty.

anything possible? yey its great to hear, so if 3 block will get around 76btc? wow i never had over 1btc in my wallet, hope this one will do it ;D
i dont know about you guys, but im praying right now for this project ;D even i dont know much about it.

GL All, hope we hit one!

4.7B

WOW! just 150 something B to go! At this rate, we will be hitting blocks by half-time!

*** keeping up the spirits ***

I've pointed a 1.6TH Rig Rental to the address but different worker, hopefully it hits the lucky share & gets us there :D

So ive got some simple bitfurys ( 2 G/s) if i run these for 24/7 i could hit a block, at what chance? proximily it will use max 20 watt p/h

You have a chance but a very, very, very, very, etc slim chance, maybe in a millennium hahaha, I had my 3 Antminer U3's running at 180Gh/s combined for 3 months and not a share was close to the Block busting one required to solve the Bitcoin block, I think the closest I ever had with them was in the higher end of the Hundreds of Millions.

It would on average be every 11,285 years you would find a block. Assuming difficulty doesn't change. That's why those miners are usually referred to lotto miners. Best I have seen on mine is a 1 billion share.

I've just aimed my 120T to our pool, it has 2.5 hours left, figured there's more chance together :)

1FuL4PkG4MWGEh6JzUzu25CK67LVMyPbYX_tiggy

hopefully we find something

Our turn yet?! hah

you find one ?

cool, hope you get one.. now i have a question, bit qounfuzed, saw BTC address for Group two already there so can we start entering already? would like to participate in next round.. please confirm, thanks

None left.

I reset the spreadsheet for new entries.



New entries can be accepted, I can run any or all groups at the same time. Like group 1 and 2 can be run at the same time.

Group addresses are static and will not change unless for some reason, which will be mentioned in this thread. Group 1 is the 0.05BTC, group 2 is the 0.5BTC and group 3 is the 2BTC. These will not change either, unless people want different amounts like 0.25 or 1BTC.

oh just saw group two entry is 0.5BTC that's a bit too much for me.. group one can be started again when enough participants?

Each group is there to allow different increments of BTC. This means if you want to risk 0.05, make an entry for group 1. If you want to risk more, make an entry with group 2 or 3.

Understood now, thx. my entry:

I don't have a specific date, but I might bump up to 20 entries, because 1BTC has better odds than 0.5BTC.

The first run had like 0.58BTC while this run has 0.78BTC.
The first run best share was 7B, this run was 17B.


Everyone that has entered has been added. Thank you for your continued group support.

what about once a week regardless of entrants? Of course some kind of minimum should be met like the 10 entries, I dunno I'm willing to do this every week just like buyin lotto tickets. Just my two cents I'm happy with any setup as long as we gamblin ;)

i seen a 7 billion share with just 500gh rental for a week the more tries at it the better the odds

How is the work going?  ???

depends how you look at at it, if you enjoy gambling it awesome. If you don't well.... This is the lead up to the third run soooo... Third times a charm! Jump on in the, operator got a pretty smooth ride going on in here.

we all put funds together to rent Bitcoin mining equipment and then point the equipment at a solomining pool and if the equipment finds a block (25 btc) it is split proportionately amongst those who paid into it. The Original post on this thread is where you can find how to add your funds to the group you choose depending and the amount your willing to risk :)

sorry I missed the point..... Solo mining means you try to solve a block by yourself instead of mining in a group (pool) and getting paid per share, although we are a group it's nowhere near as large as the big pools running

The analogy I use is, this is pretty much like buying a lottery ticket. The group is like pooling together money at work and splitting a winning lotto ticket.

Come on people buy in so we can have another round :).

any space for group 1 ? i got 0.05btc in my wallet

There's always room for more :D

brill will sort it out tomrrow :)

When another round will start? Im gonna deposit again for next round ;D its fun and exciting lol. Hopefully we got block for another round.
Will deposit anytime soon.. hope not yet start

Hopefully when we get 10 people. It seems slower this round.

Count me in but I will enter and send funds once it fills up more.

Count me in too here. Will deposit as soo got some payment later on or tomorrow.
I might follow every round until we found a block ;D
Good luck to all people who join or made deposit here.

Just wondering, why you are throwing around a referral link?

No.. Let me explain that to you...
I am a newbie member.. Can't create a pretty signature like anyone...
I didn't know that a newbie member has 50 characters for making a signature...
So i decided to copy any signature for me with any comments  i wrote it before...
If that make a problem with your topic.. I will be remove it...
Regards...

You're alright, as a newbie I just posted my referral link in my signature and over time I grew to utilize the different ranks I was given.

i will be sending payment as soon as i get my payment from slushes pool with is tasking forever for some reason

HI ezeminer,

I will have another go.

Thanks for running the Lotto.

You've been added, and you are welcome :D

I'll be in for this 3rd run, will send funds over later today.

How close are we to a 3rd run? :)

I count five people claiming spots and four of us already entered

Ok thanks we're getting closer then :).

heyheyhey)
you do have plus one)

had have no clue to insert the screenshot(
Let's win
Aum)

May I know if ever a block was found until today?

Sorry if I am ignorant but I did not check the previous posts before asking this.

And how far it is being successful?

I think placing contracts on Miningrigrentals will be profitable since thy are having low fees than Nicehash if I am right.

Here are my funds.

It depends when you rent. Miningrigrentals is more expensive than nicehash in my experience. Right now MMR is 0.0002 more per TH than nicehash. But also depending on how many TH we need, we would need more orders.

We have not found a block yet, so now is a good time to get in.

The chances increase by roughly 0.2% per entry. If we have 10 people we have a 2% chance, with a chance to multiply your investment by 50x.

I'm hoping we can hit one this time round (this is a really crappy bump)

It's all good, thanks for bumping :D

I'll be away for a couple of days, so I will not be updating the spreadsheet. I will update and answer any questions that are pending when I return.

Tough crowd this round,  or is it just me? The  wait is  killing me

yes, where are u guys  :o lets do this, no risk no profit!

Hard crowd to convince. Still taking entries :D

Huge risk for me. Id love to invest, but the total mining power is an exahash (I think).

What's the chance of, let's say 1000 THS, (1 BTC per investor) getting a block? It's miniscule?

4% per BTC

The chance is small but its worth a punt for 0.05 each :)

Same with any lottery 'you gotta be in it to win it' :D

true that

чe? ктo гoтoв пoддepжaть oтцa pyccкoй дeмoкpaтии?))

ezeminer - I would like to submit a 2nd entry to quicken our lotto to 10 entries. Let me know if my 2nd entry is acceptable. Thanks.

Btw, i hit my first solo block recently by pure luck. 19TB only - 4 x  S7s in 6 hours - so if you still wondering if the stories about small miners getting any solo blocks are true - i can personally say yes.... it's randomly luck just like any lottery. Experiencing good lucky streak lately, so I hope my 2nd entry to the coming lotto will bring us luck as well! Cheers and keep on mining!

I remember you hitting that block recently citronic, that was very nice ;D.

I'm glad you're in with the group hopefully you will bring some of your luck :D.

You're always welcome to submit multiple entries. Also congrats on that recent block.

MRR seems to be leveling with nicehash

What do we need, four more entries to start?

That would be correct

Hi Ezeminer,

Just paid the 0.05BTC for my 2nd entry.

Just throwing in a bump.

Taking quite a while this time round, strange as there were 35 people in the poll that have said they would be interested and we have had a couple of runs so far, fair enough no block hit but that just means we still have one to come (at some point)

Do you think we should set a cut off date and then at that point just go with what we have?

I was debating that, I will give it until Wednesday the 16th, then cut it off and run with what we have.

Giving this a little love and a little bump.

NC has 0.0031's now -- could you find better?

 ;DBTC ;D

I hope we hit a block with less people ...... Better payout 8)

Today is Wednesday, does that mean it is cutoff date ?

If so I will be sending 0.05BTC for a Group #1 Entry ;D

Wiped the lists and reset with a deadline of March 30th.

If we keep getting people I will try and keep this small project running. If not I will probably shut it down, I know there are bigger groups that consistently hit blocks and keep the fun going.

Oh well never mind, everyone knew the chance was small to hit a block.

I'm in again for the next round anyway :).

Thanks again for running it :).

Cool, nice to have a deadline as well and thanks for running this so far, hopefully it will pay off in the next couple of runs.

nthused mentioned solo ltc mining. I looked into it and would be willing to run on that side of the fence. CK made the solo pool as well. Any opions?

Thanks for the tryout)
Would be glad to join you in a bigger group) just let me know please)
Good Luck!

I can't seem to find a thread to the ck litecoin pool would you mind linking it ?

If we were going to go ahead with the Litecoin Solo Team then I would be pointing it to the Merged Mining LTC/DOGE Solo Pool http://ltc.tbdice.org

It is essentially built from the same -ck code used for solo mining BTC on -ck solo pool.


LTC/DOGE Merged Mining Solo (http://ltc.tbdice.org)
LTC: If you find a block, 99.5% of the 25 LTC + transaction fees get generated directly at your litecoin address!
DOGE: If you find a block, 95.0% of the 10 000 DOGE+ transaction fees get generated directly at your doge address!

[/quote]ts exactly what i was talking about

Nthused are you willing to run it ?

Sure, as long as there is enough buy-ins for a round.

For a 4Gh/s (Scrypt) rental for 24 hours it will be around the 0.45BTC mark and it would take 3x Litecoin Block finds in that 24hours to be in profit if no DOGE Blocks are found.

Although even if the buy-ins are smaller compared to the above and rental hashpower/rental hours is lower, profit can still be achieved with "LUCK" :)

Just wanted to say this is sweet way to gamble. :D
Definitely gonna give it a whirl for the first pool March 30th one.
Hopefully a block will be found, who knows.
Maybe I can pull some friends in for more hashing power. Ha

Cheers.

mos def a cool way to gamble 8)

Well this Service/Group was fun while it lasted.

Good Luck to everyone on their adventures for a Block :)

Cheers to that!
