Works for me one way or the other.

It is not a lot of coin,

I can make a new trezor account  and hold funds.

I will toss in   0.02

well looks like

 0.100 btc covers server for six months.

if we collect

0.300

give

0.100 to ck for server.

0.050 to ck as pre pay for work he has done for us with both pools.

0.050 to the guy that missed the block

0.100 in case of fuck up and in six months use some or all of it to pay the next six months of server

it is a plan.

.15 of the coin collected goes to ck. and server costs

with the reserve of .1 if btc moon 🌝 s it could pay more server costs down the road.

spit balling here.

I can handle funds.

.15 goes to ck asap
.05 goes to missed block guy
.10 held for six months in case of fuck up then goes to future server cost.

.30 total to be. collected.

I am similar to you.

At the moment my power deal is cheap.
I have 1.4ph fully paid gear.

most of it is faster then s9s.

only 300th ls s9.

so the other gear will turn profit.

but for a new guy buying the gear ⚙️ is a set back.
tax laws are complex.

and of course finding a good power deal is very very very important.

why not do a few things.

here is a list

up grade server
pay for six months up front.
give the poor guy who got fucked some more coin as it could have been anyone of us. say 0.125 btc
give ck some coin for running it the next six months

create a fuck up escrow fund it case a fuck up happens. say 0.125


determine what the list above costs.
determine if the list i made makes sense.

we just spent  multiple btc since jan. more then three or four btc.
using nice hash to rent.
and nicehash makes money 💰 not the miners or ck.

what could the list above cost?

we could review this in six months. see if it is a good idea.

I am down for  0.02  in addition to the 0.01 i gave in.

my expertise is not server companies. but i am good at getting shit done.
i am a fair minded guy. and i have an honest reputation.

years ago i was able to help with a missed block here along with another member.

Are you going to keep this one up for a day or 2 more or will it close today?

I would be willing to help upgrade your server if it helped.

depending on what you need.  Maybe we can run a fund raiser to get a better system. Maybe we can chip in we have a lot of players here.

If a server with backup is 4k and it is 100 a month to run it.  That is only 5200  its only .6 btc

lots of us play this pool maybe we chip in .6 btc and revamp the setup.

antpool (yeah right) gets the historic 630000 block

6.25 + 0.90 = 7.15 coins

next ½ ing in 210,000 blocks.

around 2024 Nov

I matched the 0.01012948

https://btc1.trezor.io/tx/8366c1563f7705981329158ffef4d2ccfa47747cfce8474d38fcf5ac578998f1

best I can do.

It is a sad day in the world  of bitcoin.  Still 8 blocks to go maybe it ends on an up side

which address is his I am going to send him a bit of coin.

Would be nice.

we are on Block 929986

almost there.!!

The space heaters are really quite nice.

300 watts 3.3th.  and super quiet with lessor fans

we are below 25 blocks to the 1/2 ing.  I will be picking fans up and s9's on may 13 th.

if you have some room to store them it makes sense.

a hot shit coin could pop up on nicehash like it did a month ago.

or BTC could rally.

we are going to turn off 310 th in s9's

make some into space heaters and sell them.

I can make 11 space heaters.  I will hold 17 s9's in storage.

the rest we will store in case of a price rally.

WE will mine with the rest of the gear.

people are simply maximizing hash rate for the next 40 blocks.

it does let you know how much is offline as most is back up running.

yeah i am doing s17pro as s19pro is not widely available.

s19pro is a disaster 2600 plus shipping plus import taxes

for 29 watts vs 38 watts a th.   and wait for 2 months.

the next 30 days will be brutal.

63 - philipma1957


 please and thank you



oh we are at block 629956 so a few more hours to go.

tell your friends.

I sent  pm's to 7 or 8 people

49 blocks left to the 1/2 ing

At the moment project difficulty is at an all Time high

of 16.7 to 17.0

If we close at a new diff of 17.0 and a price of 8888.88

a 50 th s17pro would drop to 3.35 usd a day pre power cost  if set to normal. It would use 46 kwatts per day

it nets : -------------------------currently nets

2.89 at 1 cent ------------------  6.24
2.43 at 2 cent ------------------  5.78
1.97 at 3 cent ------------------  5.32
1.51 at 4 cent ------------------  4.86
1.05 at 5 cent ------------------  4.40
  .59 at 6 cent ------------------  3.94
  .13 at 7 cent ------------------  3.48

-.37 at 8 cents ------------------ 3.02

that is brutal since that is the most efficient miner

a 50 watt miner 50 th miner vs 38 watts 50th for the s17pro uses 60 kwatts

same 3.35 for free power

2.75 for 1 cent power
2.15 for 2 cent power
1.55 for 3 cent power
 .95 for 4 cent power
 .35 for 5 cent power

-.25 cents for six cent power

I suspect the network is at 60 watts

so a 60 watt 50 th is 72 kwatts a day

same 3.35 for free power

2.63 for 1 cent power
1.91 for 2 cent power
1.19 for 3 cent power
  .47 for 4 cent power
-.25 for 5 cent power

so a 100 s17pro farm at 4 cent power earns 440 usd a day in a few hours it drops to 105 usd a day

now take the following into account it was a small farm and like my setup runs in a place that does other shit.  So no building overhead. No worker overhead since the guy owning it does it himself or has another worker check it once in a while.

This guy can survive.

turn it into a dedicated business and the build is more over head. this miner will struggle.

Oh one more thing in both cases gear is fully paid off.  These small-middle size guys will survive.

Make it a 1000 machine farm with 1 or 2 worker over head build overhead and debt they will be in a lot of trouble.
Make it a 10000 machine farm wit 3-5 workers and high leverage they will fold.

In all cases I am using a farm with all s17pros.

okay i loaded dec 25 date.

i will post back.

---

it does not work I must be doing something wrong.

What to you leave work mode on when you set it up

Normal?

I am thinking either I am doing something wrong or that it does not work with the older firmware.

very sad news.

I will stay pointed till the bitter end.

If i have a miracle and hit I will give 2btc. to the person that lost out.

Sad to read this.

½ ing is under 155 blocks so monday at 5pm eastern standard time it as good a guess as any.

We are creeping up in diff +3.9%

price sucks about 8701  which is brutal for us miners.

My bread and butter is the 15 s17 pros they do 38 watts a th or about 53kwatts a day they will earn 4.08 a day before power


3 cent 1.62    2.46 profit
4 cent 2.16    1.92 profit
5 cent 2.70    1.38 profit
6 cent 3.24      .84 profit

so most gear is worse then the s17pro

and the s19 the s19pro or not coming for months

blood in the water coming up.
