What is the best bitcoin contract right now?

seriously.

can you recommend a contract please?

What do you mean by contract?

example : http://www.progressivebtcmining.com/

It will be very difficulty to find btc mining profitable at this stage, no matter you buy hardware now, make a pre-order on hardware or buy some cloud hashrate...

i found an hour of 180 gh/s for 8 usd.

all calcs calculate in months not hours.So I dont know if this is profitable.(How fast does difficulty change? i know its every 2016 blocks but cudnt find more info)

what is the best pool?(according to chart: paypershare is best?)

A black averages ~10 minutes So 2016*10=20160 Minutes 3360 Hours 140 Days That doesnt Sound right but thats the math for the numbers you just gave

Check out Varinvmin, BSVM and APG1 at cryptostocks.com
It's better than buying gh/s contracts, because they will reinvest part of the earnings in new hardware, so the value won't go down.

What do you mean contract?

didnt you see th example?

:DDDDD Do you mean mining contract?

http://www.pbmining.com  is one of the best posted on this forum, they pay out on schedule.   Downside :  they're down.  Some website functions are available but there is no buy in ... and it's starting to look bad for buy-ins at lower GH, as they are limited in supply.

https://bit-mining.co looks interestingish... I have only -just- seen them and have no experience with their service yet.

good sources dry up fast... scammers abound with all kinds of strategies.  DOGE is starting to look better ALL the time.

If the odds are good :  the goods are odd.

Thanks very much. Good quote: If the odds are good :  the goods are odd.

i guess so
why are you asking the same question ?

I'm going to toss out a vote for pbminer, being that they change their prices after difficulty changes and offer up 5 year contracts instead of just 12 months.

It should be 336 hours (14 days).
But, as the network hashrate is increasing, we don't need 10 minutes (on average) to find a block, so difficulty adjustment happens every 12-13 days instead.

Pay per share (PPS) is indeed not a pool, but a payment scheme.

PPS is best in terms of lowest variance, but the % fee is higher.
It may be better to use PPLNS or DGM (higher expected payment due to lower % fee).

FYR: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.msg1146110#msg1146110

If you're renting, PPS is better though. You don't want variance when you are dealing with a set amount of time like an hour or a day.

Unless you are renting hashrate for just a day.
If you join a big pool like btcguild, the pool luck wouldn't vary that much with PPLNS.

For reference only: btcguild pool luck at this very moment.
Approximate Pool Luck* (24H / 3D / 1W / 2W / 1M): 92.069% / 101.504% / 98.734% / 102.433% / 101.802%

Though the average luck is at 98.7% for 1-week, you still get more btc using PPLNS than PPS.

bitmining.co is reported as untrusted connection by FF
pbmining.com is 403 forbidden so I guess you are right

So, what was your solution?


Would love to kno!

I still didn't buy anything yet because I need money quicker than a contract (5 years = 70 usd per contract on pbmining.com. although this is the best offer I found as of 20 february 2014 there still might be better ones..) So Ill buy gpu mining rig for scrypt

also meybe my thread will help you : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=456577.0;topicseen

A black avarages :D

you racist :D

damn, this me laugh very hard :D

back to the topic :D

I think mining can hardly be profitable even if you're purchasing a contract  :-\

i would also like to recommend pbmining.com

They seem great!

varinvmin (failing)
bsvm (failed)
apg1 (poof, no more dividends and shareprice in crappa, MAJOR FAIL)
