Title: 0 Difficulty
Post by: zulu860 on April 17, 2014, 06:15:43 PM
I'm renting a Rig from Betarigs and the difficulty is coming out 0 im also using my Gridseed but thats at 202 Difficulty. I'm curious why the rig im renting is 0 have i been scammed. The Hashrate is at 350 khs from the one im renting. Does it not have enough juice im cuious why it would do that and if that would happen to my Gridseed one day.

Sorry, you need to provide more info.

How are you seeing your difficulty is 0 on the rented rig? Are you looking at the pool? 0 is not good, it should be something.

What hash rate is the pool reporting? 350 khs is low, is that what you paid for? Does that match what betarigs is telling you?

For your gridseed, eventually it will become less and less productive as all the new ASICs with higher hash rates are hitting. At some point in a year, or less, your gridseed will be useless. You will spend more on electricity than you get in return. I suggest you sell it in 3 months and get some money back while you can.

I don't know if you're being scammed, but there may be a config problem with the rig. Try another pool and see what that one does.

As far as hash speed, you didn't give any info on what you rented. 350 khs is great if you rented a 150 khs rig, but terrible if you rented a 5 mhs rig. There's no way to know based on the info you gave. You paid for a certain hash. If you're not getting it, demand your money back.

Not sure what to tell you about the gridseed. You asked if it will not have enough juice one day, and the answer is most definitely yes.

 it was a 350 khs that i rented i still got my coins i was curious why it didnt show up

Yea i know the gridseed will eventually be like the asics thumbdrive miner and die out unless you have alot+++++ of them.

Thx for the info
