Would there be any advantage if you have multiple workers to have each one on it's own BTC address?  or would it all work out to be the same payout.
If you ever want the coins to go to the same addy (i.e., cold storage, exchange, etc), then you'd want to use just 1 because multiples would cost you more fees to consolidate. Aside from that, it's all the same.

...Btw, any restrictions on S9 v1 to mine here ?
While there is some weight to the "v1 bad luck" claim, one must realize that it would take months of v1s pulling 200+% on "that" pool in order to reach 100% on that pool (due to deficits from rigs that both left that pool and rigs that switched to v2 on that pool); so, in reality, there's no reason for any pool to "ban" v1s. It's hard for rigs that don't exist to raise past stats from when they did exist.  Undecided

I do have a meeting with top-notch iOS developer ... need to see if he would be capable to develop iOS app for us with this budget...
Capable and willing are separate issues.  Tongue

Hey Kano crew...  I recently moved over to Kano from Slush and think I'm here to stay for the long haul!  Smiley  Good payouts.  And like seeing Kano so present in this forum.

Quick question... thinking about scaling up my current home-mine to a larger scale operation (thinking 500TH-1PH to start) and was wondering if anyone here has stats on diminishing returns over time?  Basically, I'm building a "business plan" of sorts and have a large excel xls going to calculate revenue / expense / profit for this operation.  I am very well aware of network diff increases (ie +8% per month), but was wondering if factoring them in in this way was accurate based on people's historical returns?

So, I start with a rough estimate of what a single miners earns in a month on the pool.  For numbers sake, lets say 1 BTC / month.  Would I expect that same miner to make 0.92 BTC in month 2 (92% of mth1)?  And then 0.8464 in month 3 (92% of mth2)?  Etc?

Am I thinking about this correctly to make a conservative estimate (note - I plan on holding BTC price in my calculations static, again, to be conservative)?  Or am I reducing the returns too much since I plan on pool mining and not solo?

Thanks!!
At that size, there's no "scaling up", it's a totally separate creature. Make sure you hire/consult HVAC and electrical professionals, and ensure that you start out with room to grow (your ROI will thank you in the long run).
As for the declining percentage numbers, yes, each month you'll lose from the month before.
Pricing BTC on spec will always be personally subjective; so, while you can get advice, the final answer will be one of what you think will be best for you. We use a "static" of previous 12 days average - 10%.

As for pool or solo, that's all a matter of costs, man-power, hardware, and knowledge. For our CBA, it's better to pool so that we don't have to mess with hardware/software and pool fees are less than a qualified on-call tech in our area (and I'm too lazy to do it anymore by myself Tongue ).

I actually enjoyed Mining FLDC/CURE.

What the hell happened?
You can't mine FDLC, you can get it as payment for folding, though.  Wink
You are playing on word,

but yeah I was 'mining' or 'folding', if you prefer, FLDC on in CURE team.

Now that merged mining its over, it's not lucrative enough to continue.

At least for me!

Have a good day
It's not a "play on words". Nor is it a question of what I "prefer" when it comes to the terminology. They are seperate things, they have separate determining factors, and they have separate ROI rates. As a folder who is also a CureCoin miner, the distinction is necessary. Because of how this all works, miners that shut down have a greater impact on my ROI than folders that shut down (hence my "best news" comment).

And lose the 'in bed with Bitmain' train of thought. You will find very few here fitting that idea.
And many of us that have spent a small fortune with them wish there was a viable alternative when it comes to ROI.  Cry

1929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Protein Folding Research based Proof of Work on: April 19, 2017, 10:45:21 AM
Polo delisting CURE and NOT delisting FLDC is a crock of BS.
They will lose my business entirely if they actually pull this stupidity.
I'm down to only dealing with ~15 coins and, out of all of it, Cure and PPC are the only reason I even bothered with polo in months (since the NEOS swap, where they botched almost 2BTC worth of coins).
1930  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Protein Folding Research based Proof of Work on: April 19, 2017, 03:30:50 AM
.... I think they've obviously done a well played pump and dump....
TBH, any coin that has no value outside of a exchange isn't anything more than waiting for a pump-n-dump. The devs can get cute and fancy with "Cure 2.0", but until you can use the coin to buy something (besides other coins) it has no probative value. The devs are anti-miner and most folders dump it to pay the bills. Since the devs of neither FLDC or CURE want to get involved enough to even get the coins to be able to even buy folding equipment, nothing will change; no matter how "pretty" "2.0" is, it's useless beyond dumping.

Really odd that poloniex is delisting all those coins (including curecoin); they all have a high amount of volume (at least recently).
Their answer is that volume doesn't matter, the devs refuse to make it useful (in other words, all these years later and you still can't spend it).

Hey Cure Dev, What the hell?Huh?
Polo is delisting this coin so i sent my coins to Bittrex and they never got there. Checked the address on the explorer and there's no explorer.
Dev, i need my coins backkkkkkkkkkkkkkKKKKKKKKKK. Do not play game with me.

         Huh   Huh         Huh       Huh
Quote from: poloniex
CURE is scheduled to be delisted on May 2...
That's 2 weeks from now, so you don't need to panic.
The explorer at: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cure/ has a 99.99% uptime.
And no one can check on your tx without any actual info provided by you.....

I missed out on the May and I'm close to sure that the July shipment will have 1/2 the profits by the time I get mine near August. Sad

43 hours! honestly WTF!  Huh
Don't recall you bitching about the 0.323%, 4 minute block.  Huh There's a reason it's "on average".  Wink

Remember all the blocks we were getting till the bragging comments?  ..... Any pointers for a noob?
Ignore any comments about what blocks we are/aren't getting and remember that it all works out above average here, in the long-term.
