Title: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: kefir on June 16, 2011, 12:52:25 PM Just looked at the eligius stats now, and noticed that one person is mining at over 45 Ghash/sec.
http://eligius.st/~artefact2/eu/1E8jPYas4iJGTrpwfgRgigjRmjGFNqtcuF That's pretty impressive! Who are you, and what hardware is this on? Is it an FPGA rig? Title: Re: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: brunoshady on June 16, 2011, 01:33:38 PM wow
maybe its a pool in a pool =o Title: Re: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: lebuen on June 16, 2011, 01:35:49 PM Could be several persons using the same wallet, too. But anyway... :o
Title: Re: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: kefir on June 16, 2011, 01:55:22 PM I figure it's a single rig, because it seems to be mining at a pretty stable rate. If it was many people, I'd imagine the rate would vary more.

If it was many people, I'd imagine the rate would vary more. Why? Could be someone with a lot of rigs using a custom pool software and just hooking up to that pool with one connection. This proxy pools allow easy maangement of the uplink;) Vladimir has like 55ghash available ;) Title: Re: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: kefir on June 16, 2011, 04:26:52 PM Of course, there's probably 50 ways to "even out the graph" if you have lots of servers available. But I still think this is one rig rather than someone shaping the curve of their pooled uplink. That's just mean they aren't getting the peak of their traffic, which doesn't sound like a great idea. Why bother?

Post by: kokojie on June 16, 2011, 06:03:24 PM If you had that much power, why wouldn't you just mine your own blocks rather than pool? absolutely not, variance would still be too high even for 45GH/s, he could possibly go on for weeks without finding a single block, if he bought the stuff on credit, he'd be f*cked if that happens. Title: Re: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: namley on June 16, 2011, 09:55:12 PM There are people....uuhhmm PERSON pushing over 200Ghash, closer to the 240 mark.
Title: Re: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: kefir on June 16, 2011, 10:59:35 PM Mechanizm, yeah, could be that guy, the numbers are close enough.
By the way, I'd never buy a rig like that today. Saw from the comments on youtube that he'd already got his rig paid for, which is great, but I don't think you'd ever get a rig like that covered at the speeds difficulty are increasing. I haven't done the math, but I doubt it's worth it. Title: Re: One person, 45Ghash/s? Post by: fcmatt on June 17, 2011, 12:31:40 AM Mechanizm, yeah, could be that guy, the numbers are close enough.

I haven't done the math, but I doubt it's worth it. even more difficult would be trying to duplicate his consistency of hardware.. and if you attempted to duplicate it you would be paying full retail for everything. the amount of money one would have to spend today to create it would be.. oh pulling a number out of my rear.. 50% more then what we all want to pay for ati gfx cards. |
