What is that behind the S4 in the top pic with a lap top sitting on top of it?
2666  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [9000 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + VarDiff on: October 11, 2014, 06:03:01 AM
I've mentioned in previous posts that I'm adding nothing but S4's from here on out.

Gonna use every BTC I earn for nothing but S4's till I have 8 of them.

How do we add pics?

I'll show you what I'm doing with exhaust and ventilation as soon as I have that finished.

Trying to show the S3's going in an image but haven't figured out how to put an image on here.

As I add S4's, I should be able to get the next one faster and faster.

My little farm is in the recreation room (12' x 26') downstairs. I have two windows in the recreation room.  One window has a box fan sucking cool air in from outside [furthest from the farm].  The other window has a box fan sucking hot air out from inside [closest to the farm].  However, I have much better idea to take care of this as soon as I take the time to install the sub panel for more breakers (circuits) and run new wiring.

Some SERIOUS exhaust fans will be purchased and installed in those windows soon.  Those windows face the back of the house with a fenced in back yard.  So, they are not an eye sore.

Anyone else have slush website down? Grin

I added 2 more S3's to my farm today.  USPS took one to the wrong city "out for delivery."  Thank God they didn't leave it on someone's door step.  Tracking shows it's back at the receiving facility to come to Birmingham.

It works fine when it gets cool at night.  I think the node gets too hot during the day and works fine when it's cooler at night.

Clearly you need to add an exhaust heat management system:

Making progress on the heat removal front!

I call it The Hot Blast Redirectenator.  Got it at Home Depot.  (That is foil tape, absolutely required, amazing stuff!)



And this is its Chimney:



Both the S4 and his two little brother S3's exhaust heat out through a hole in my basement wall (was for a clothes dryer exhaust).  I also have an inline fan that pulls 240 cubic feet per minute, to help push the air flow through the reducers and out the smallish 4" hole, but am not using it yet. 

As the weather gets colder of course, I will rearrange this a bit to let me pipe all that heat inside, possibly upstairs into the main living areas of the house, and then probably use the hole in the exterior wall (and perhaps the fan) to pull in cold air from outside, to lower the ambient temperature inside the closet.

I think the S4 might be able to heat this whole ~2,000 sqft house all by itself!  It's certainly made the entire downstairs half unbearably hot this past week with little to no help from Mother Nature at all...

What do you think?

SWEEEEEEEEEET

I want S4's SO SO BAD RIGHT NOW...

I have 12 S3+'s going right now.  How do we add pictures? I'm working on mounting a new 125 AMP sub panel (breaker panel) next to the Main Breaker Panel this weekend.  THEN I will work on ventilation similar to what you have going on.

I LIKE IT!!!

My internet was completely out at the TIME you asked that question.

It's been out for 9 of us on my street off and on today for a total of about 5 hours.

They are supposed to fix it tomorrow.

^ +1 I'm notorious for saying this. Your best bet is to use variance. Variance is dividing your ghs between at least two pools. The system I use is to keep 80%  here at Slush and 20% at BTCguild. Using this method, on bad luck days u still have the possibility of the other pool being very lucky. It's a good proven system no pool hopping involved. If pool hopping really worked we would all be doing it.

Summary: Dont keep all your eggs in the same basket.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416933.0



I believe I would have to agree with you!
2671  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [9000 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + VarDiff on: October 10, 2014, 03:04:36 PM
Either one of those pools are just as good as the other.  I suppose when we wake up we make a decision on which pool we think will be the luckiest for that day.

Yeah, but when you hop away from Slush, you pretty well sacrifice your shares in the block being worked on.  Best to stick with one or the other IMHO, or both of course, which would even out your variance a bit more.  You might find that's something worth trying: you could put half your ants on Slush and the other half on Ghash.  Personally, I would always stay with Slush - we might get some long blocks, but we certainly get a good number of short ones to compensate. Smiley

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU on the "hop" thing.  Yes, shares (earnings) are at jeopardy when hopping from one to the other.  I also believe it would be best to stick with one for at least a week if not a month before ever changing to another OR doing like you said, "Half on one and half on the other."

This is a follow up to show 60 Ph/s versus a 57.7 Ph/s on GHash does knock down "shares earned" from .00204... to .00191... on average.  So, my Slush and GHash comparisons were pretty much accurate for the most part.

GHash was probably more like .00193933 on average at 60 Ph/s [even] instead of the .00191766 I had previously posted.  But like I said, "It was a CONSERVATIVE estimate.

So, Back to my pool comparison:

Slush is averaging right at 8 PH/s TOTAL hashing power.  At present difficulty, that is approximately 5 hours 10 minutes time for each block found.  To be at 100% Luck for the week [while maintaining a consistent 8 PH/s] we would need to find [24 hours divided by 5.16666667 hours] = 4.64516129 blocks each day during that week.  Again, that's to maintain 100% Luck.

[Slush] 4.64516129 blocks x .01452471 average shares with 4.67 TH/s = 0.06746962 BTC average each day.  That would be 2.02408860 BTC in 30 days (1 month).

GHash is averaging right at 60 PH/s TOTAL hashing power.  At present difficulty, that is approximately 41 minutes 21 seconds for each block found.  To be at 100% Luck for the week [while maintaining a consistent 60 PH/s] they would need to find [24 hours divided by .68775 hours] = 34.8964013 blocks each day during that week.  Again, that's to maintain 100% Luck.

EDIT:  CORRECTION MADE TO GHASH ON AVERAGE SHARES, WHICH CHANGES ALL NUMBERS

[GHash] 34.8964013 blocks x .00193933 average shares with 4.67 TH/s = 0.066767564 BTC average each day.  That would be 2.03026914 BTC in 30 days (1 month).  ALSO, one also gets bonus alt coins as well.  Such as NMC and others.  It's a bonus all the way.  Not sure how well those coins are doing and their value related to BTC.  Haven't really looked into THAT part of it deep enough yet.


Slush = 2.02408860 BTC in 30 days

GHash = 2.03026914 BTC in 30 days

They are both so close to being the same in BTC earnings that it PROVES either pool would be fine to mine.  Yes, GHash does give bonus alt-coins as well.  That may make them a little more attractive.  However, Slush can be a bit more attractive on the days they hit well more than 100 % pool luck.  Does that mean GHash does not ever have more than 100% pool luck.  No, they have hit as much as 60 blocks in 24 hours on some days.

Either one of those pools are just as good as the other.  I suppose when we wake up we make a decision on which pool we think will be the luckiest for that day.

that brief 24 hr. period of no reward was the 24hr test i was running at ghash.io

so man if i make the same regardless of block time long blocks suck Smiley so i guess thats what gave birth to the "pool hopping stuff and all the different payout structures

I dont understand the math behind it all guess thats why I am not a mathmatician Smiley

so what makes 1 block take 17hrs and another to say the average of 3 to 5 hrs or that rare ocassion up above 48 mins dude if i made .004 x 24 hrs I would be a very happy camper definately a good roi  Smiley

 

NOBODY makes anything unless a block is found.  At present difficulty of finding a block, it would take Slush approximately 5 hours and 17 minutes on average to find a block.  However, it can vary GREATLY depending on luck, as you have just seen on Slush.

We found 13 blocks in one day on Slush since I started mining on Slush.  Slush could average 4.5 blocks each day according to their total hashing power on the 22nd of September.  So, Slush did very well as far as LUCK that day.  EXTREMELY WELL!!!

I MUST sleep now.  Have a good night!  And HAPPY MINING!!!  GOOD LUCK!!!

I just dont get the payout sturcture of mining I am new to this
now its showing estimated reward 0.00480299 BTC for the current block so if this is say a 15min block then thats what I am paid ??
so you get paid that same 0.00480299 BTC based upon your hasrate and score regardless of how long a round takes?



YES.

You are seeing your constant shares based on your hashing power in relation to everyone else mining on the pool.

IF Slush found a block every minute [Which would be sweet] you would get that reward for every block found.

Your shares will fluctuate up and down while miners get on and off the pool during mining.

3 of my 6 additional S3's will be at my door step today.  FedEx tracking shows them at their facility here in Birmingham at 23:39 (just before midnight).  I already have 1 Corsair AX860 waiting for 2 of them.

My Amazon order for 2 more Corsair AX860's are also being delivered today via UPS.

typically in 24hrs i get .02+ BTC somethings going on at slushs right now 17 hrs for .004BTC is so not the normal at ghash in 24hrs i get atleast .02BTC typically at slush i get that as well see my earlier post a page back Smiley

I came back to slush  today after running a 24hr test at ghash only to find this 17 hr block for a whopping .004BTC ? I am scratching my head





So, you agree with my post on the previous page as well that they pay out approximately the same IF they both are running at 100% Luck [The SAME luck.]?

Those LONG blocks tend to eat away at my shares too for some reason on Slush.  Not real bad but they do lower my shares a little more than the short blocks found.  I don't know why?

Well, Slush FINALLY found one.

They need to find one again in a matter of just a few minutes.

COME ON SLUSH!!!

I'll come back over IF they find another in less than an hour.  Otherwise, I'm staying here for 24 hours to see how it goes.
