Title: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: the joint on February 09, 2012, 08:01:17 PM Well, I've crossed the 50 BTC threshold mining through pools. I still haven't solved a block yet, so it seems that I'm starting to drift towards the 'unlucky' side.
What is the largest number of coins you have mined without solving a block? Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: fourd00rgtz on February 09, 2012, 08:32:31 PM I'm pretty well even. Solved 6 blocks as part of pools, nearing 295btc paid out.
Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: ensign_lee on February 10, 2012, 04:10:15 AM I think I hit 130 with slush's pool.
Recently found two blocks, so that helped catch me up, but I'm still under expected value d'oh Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: Valalvax on February 10, 2012, 04:12:48 AM Didn't realize most pools paid extra for the solver
Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: the joint on February 10, 2012, 04:14:11 AM No block for my last 80 BTC mined with pools. Don't know if I'm unlucky but it totes sucks... edit: lol, viewing this topic got me to actually click on the joint singature link, and register on the pyramid game. Damn you, internets! ;D Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: BitBlitz on February 10, 2012, 05:52:18 AM Well, I've crossed the 50 BTC threshold mining through pools. I still haven't solved a block yet, so it seems that I'm starting to drift towards the 'unlucky' side. Heh. I'm not sure I'd call having 50BTC in hand without solving a block 'unlucky'. :)I just realized that I solved 6 blocks in a pool where I've made 105BTC in payouts. Knowing I generated ~200BTC more than I was paid, sure doesn't feel lucky, either. :o Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: Qu4k3r on February 10, 2012, 08:14:43 AM I solved 2 blocks mining at deepbit, 1 block mining at bitcoinpool and zero blocks solved mining at several others pools.
Total payout = 103,77216415 btc And 2 blocks solved mining in solo mode ;D 100,15409796 btc Total earnings = 203,92626211 btc in 9 months of mining.- Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: the joint on February 18, 2012, 01:02:57 AM Just got #1 ;D @ ~59.5 BTC
Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: chiropteran on February 18, 2012, 03:41:51 AM 156.22 BTC on slush's
12 BTC on BTC Guild 13.79 on eclipse mining No blocks found. Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: malevolent on February 18, 2012, 03:11:38 PM It will eventually even out in the end so dont worry :)
Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: thirdlight on February 18, 2012, 03:27:40 PM It will eventually even out in the end so dont worry :) "The end" at which it will all have evened out is, of course, the end of time. ;)Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: the joint on February 18, 2012, 07:00:27 PM It's odd...after solving just one block in a reasonable amount of time at a pool, I really want to solo mine ;D

Post by: RandyFolds on February 18, 2012, 08:01:18 PM It's odd...after solving just one block in a reasonable amount of time at a pool, I really want to solo mine ;D Do it. There is no reason why you shouldn't, unless you really need a $5 a day trickle flowing in. Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block?

There is no reason why you shouldn't, unless you really need a $5 a day trickle flowing in. I think I'll postpone it for a few days. Increased hashrate on Deepbit is giving me like 150% today. And honestly, $5 a day + the weekly guitar lessons I give are enough to pay for virtually all my non-rent expenses at the moment, so in reality the $5-$7 per day I generate is a significant amount. Remember those experiments where researchers had participants try to influence the outcome of a computer program randomly flipping a coin simply by imagining a certain outcome?? I intend to do similar things when I solo mine ;D Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: thirdlight on February 18, 2012, 08:12:14 PM Try p2pool - solo, with pooled rewards ..
Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: the joint on February 18, 2012, 08:14:21 PM Try p2pool - solo, with pooled rewards .. Trust me, I've been very interested in p2pool, but I'd like the g/hash to get a little higher... By "pooled rewards" do you mean that people are still donating extra payouts to the miners regardless of submitted shares? Edit: Yes, I realize my first sentence is a chicken-and-egg problem. Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: V4Vendettas on February 20, 2012, 09:02:01 PM Pool i'm has paid out 101 bitcoins and I have solved 2 blocks so far.
;D I'm up ;D Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: the joint on February 21, 2012, 06:23:22 PM DAMN!!! Now i have find 8! blocks and got 75BTC out. That were 400BTC! I have lost 325BTC! ARGH! I have to change to solomining ... Interesting. Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: Mushoz on February 22, 2012, 12:21:43 AM Mined ~130 with no blocks found ever :( Mix of Deepbit and BTCguild. It's a long time ago I last mined though. 22 eurocents a kilowatt kills any profit :(
Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: ShadesOfMarble on February 22, 2012, 02:25:47 PM Paid out: 112 BTC.
Solved Blocks: 5. -.- Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: JWU42 on February 22, 2012, 05:05:01 PM Been at this too long to be certain for all pools.
BTCmine has me at 896.xx BTC paid and 16 found - so a bit ahead... Title: Re: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? Post by: ThatsWhatsUp on February 23, 2012, 02:47:40 AM how much more of a pay out do you get from solving the block at a pool?
