Title: My first run with NiceHash/Mining Pool Hub Post by: tf2addict on July 19, 2017, 06:47:56 PM Bought 0.04 BTC worth of 5 GH/s hashing power mining ETH on Mining Pool Hub. The run took about 5.5 hours and at the end I cashed out 0.043 BTC, about a 7.6% profit. During the run the price of ETH went up around 5%. Is most of my profit a result of that price increase? What would have happened had the price dropped 5% instead of rising 5%?

Title: Re: My first run with NiceHash/Mining Pool Hub Post by: tf2addict on July 27, 2017, 12:50:29 AM I bought the hash power through NiceHash. Mining Pool Hub is the pool.
I should have been more clear. I paid for the hash power using BTC and I mined ETH. I was wondering if most of my profit came from a change in the price ratio between those two. It was a fixed price order. I'm now using standard price orders. My last run was a 10% profit.

Have you been mining for how long? Bought 0.04 BTC worth of 5 GH/s hashing power mining ETH on Mining Pool Hub. The run took about 5.5 hours and at the end I cashed out 0.043 BTC, about a 7.6% profit. During the run the price of ETH went up around 5%. Is most of my profit a result of that price increase? What would have happened had the price dropped 5% instead of rising 5%? Maybe it's because of the price change, just watch for a while longer, I read a statement in MINING POOL HUB: "- Upgrading DB server. Website would be slow than usual and may not show hashrate correctly. Mining is well working. - About bitcoin fork Bitcoin withdrawal, auto exchange to bitcoin will be paused at 31 July 12:00 UTC and will be re-enabled when both network operation is stable and safe from replay attack. Equivalent Bitcoin-cash balance will be credited to all bitcoin holders. Bitcoin-cash pool will be ran for payout only and will be closed about a month later. - Influx, Crevacoin, Checkcoin, Ufocoin, Digitalcoin, Phoenixcoin, Smartcoin, Adzcoin will be delisted at 29 July" https://miningpoolhub.com/?page=statistics&action=autoswitches I would like some tips on MINING POOL HUB, I will send you PM with some questions that I have and would like you to clarify these doubts if it is not a problem Title: Re: My first run with NiceHash/Mining Pool Hub Post by: swogerino on July 30, 2017, 04:13:40 PM It is because of the price change. If the price went down 5% you would not have got your ROI or 0.04 bitcoin back. In Ethereum and every altcoin there is this possibility and is considered a gamble this kind of buy. Best is to mine with your equipment if you have, graphic cards and a good PC for mining, having multi GPU running on it.

Solo mining to local pool when difficulty is low... New coin released. And so... You got lucky. Good for you. |
