So I am bringing my S3s home tonight to "reprogram" them to mine with BCMonster (huge network, don't have the ability to identify them so I can log in). I do, though, have a few questions.
So I've seen that people can "rent" miners from different places? How does this work? You give them your username and miner and they'll just mine for you? What's the most reputable place? How much does this cost? I'm interested...

After verifying with Laviathon, to qualify for this rounds 1BTC blockfinder bonus, you had to have been actively mining at the time the last block was found. Hope this clarifies things for the miners that dropped off and came back for this new round.
This takes away a lot of incentive for the people who had joined and would have come back and mined through the round. The point is to get people to stick with us. A lot of people see $400 as plenty incentive to tough out 2 rounds with a small pool. |

Once this block is confirmed, BCTeamRental will be back up and running with rental hash. Then I will follow with some BTC of my own on my account. Thanks Johnny, now its your turn  |

Words cannot express how happy I am right now. Now let's get our btc back!

What does "Block Invalid, No Reward Sent" mean from the one yesterday before this 23 hours block?
Stale or orphan I am assuming. |

2 Blocks in 1 Weeks seems not very atractive for my small miners.. i would eanr less than i would orn on an bigger pool with some more ph/s i think thoose like gawminer and some are also using the big pools  It depends on fees of the pool as well. Pay close attention to those percentages deducted. A round like this round small miners make more than us bigger miners that threwe big rental hash at the pool. All the small miners are up in btc, whereas myself and Laviathon are down in btc this round. |

my best share so far is a poultry: 910,529,102
edit: are the difficulty settings too low? an Antminer S7 running 9.56K Difficulty?
can I push my S5 with a high diff like your suggestion for the S7? At this pool you can not manually set the difficulty. Port 3333 is set to vardiff and will set an appropriate diff for your device. We have found that the diff is usually higher than the standard. (IE standard diff for s7 is 4.7k but seeing diff range between 6-15k) The other port 3332 is for smaller devices with a var diff starting at 1 and working its way up to appropriate levels to accomodate slower rigs. |

Im having a problem with my SP20 that I just bought off of ebay.
I have tried getting my SP20 to start and it wont. When I turn on the power supply the fan will come on run for about 5 seconds, then shut off and the yellow light will come on. Then the yellow light goes off and the fan comes on again for about 10-20 seconds then the fan shuts off again. The yellow light then begins blinking 6 times every few seconds. The ethernet lights are both going but it is not showing up on my router and going to myminer.io shows me nothing.
I have tried to sd boot it = nothing
sd reset = resets but then when I take out the sd card and restart it.....nothing
......I even tried the blow dryer trick......nothing
The old owner has been a huge help trying to get it going but so far nothing
Any help would be majorly appreciated!
What PSU are you using? Model and watts. I would start at looking at that. I never had to do the sd boot luckily. Im using a Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200W Garbage psu multi rail so Here is my guess. One rail is 36 amps that is good for one pcie plug not 2 Second rail is 36 amps that is good for one pcie plug not 2 Third rail is 20 amps that is only good if your gear is set to 200 watts per pcie plug So if your gear is set to 200 watts per pcie plug you can only do three plugs not four. I would connect two pcie plugs C. Empty C. Empty See diagram. If it starts let me know If it does not start C. C. Empty empty If it starts let me know If it does not start Empty. C Empty. C If it starts let me know If it does not start Empty empty C. C It should start on one of those patterns With 3 rails of 36 36 20 You could get it to work on careful setup and big under clock. Since the most a 36 can do is 18 x 12 = 216 watts. A setting like 150 watts would be okay. So .61 volts. And 150 watts would be good. But you need to start it to downclock it to thay Ok tried all the combinations....same thing. I even brought up another 1300w that I have and tried them both together....Still nothing Is it dead? The guy I bought it from mined until he shipped it and it worked for him... I was the original owner of this machine, had my sp20e hooked up to 2 corsair rm850s, then underclocked it down to 1. Worked both ways. I reset to factory settings, turned off the device and shipped it out. |

Just crappy luck, difficulty is fine for an s7. Its vardiff so youll see it change from time to time. If you are seeing under 4k then diff is too low. |

Not having any big toys, rig price in Malaysia is crazy high!
Just a tiny s5 help out here..
Every little bit counts. |

Just a heads up guys, Laviathon just let me know via text that 1BTC blockfinding bonus is back next round, the only condition is that you have to be actively mining this round to qualify for the bonus the next, so any of you that dropped off, come on back, help us bust this block, and look towards that bonus next round!

For those of you who rent hash from NH/WH and are curious to know if you've gotten what you paid for, here's how you can figure it out. I make the assumption here that you do not change the price you're paying during the course of the order. If you do, well, you'll just have to run the calculations a few times Step 1 - Determine how long your order should actually last.This one is pretty easy. Take your total rented hash power and multiply that times the price you paid to see how much it would cost you for 24 hours. Don't forget to subtract the 3% fee NH charges! Example, you rented 1PH at 0.0034 per TH and paid 1.5 BTC: 1000 * 0.0034 = 3.4 BTC for 24 hours
1.5 - (1.5 * 0.03) = 1.455 BTC applied to order
(1.455 / 3.4) * 24 = 10.27 hours
This means that your coin bought you 10.27 hours of 1PH power. Step 2 - Determine how many shares you should getTo do this, you need to figure out how many diff 1 shares your mining power would expect to earn in the time calculated from step 1. First, let's figure out how many diff 1 shares per second you expect (I'm using a simplified formula here, but it's accurate enough for this calculation): 1500000000000000 / 2^32 = 349245.97
Ok, now you just multiply your expected shares per second by the total time: 349245.97 * 10.27 * 3600 = 12912322002.84
Great! You know you should have gotten about 12.9 billion shares for your rental Step 3 - Compare to what the pool shows you gotThis is pretty easy since virtually every pool provides you with share information. On my pool, for example, you would have to record how many shares you had at the start of your rental and compare it to the shares you had at the end. On kano's, just look at your worker stats and start adding things up for the shifts. That's it! If the pool shares are similar to what you calculated, congrats, NH/WH didn't screw you over  How did we come up with 9.1b shares earlier? |

I'm a front end developer, that statement didn't mean anything to me.
Are you implying that the limit for a 32-bit floating point number was reached? because the limit for that is 0 through 4,294,967,295.
edit: perhaps you meant the limit for an (unsigned) binary number; 2,147,483,647 ? -which fits the stats
Ignoring the limit 2,147,483,647, you can see my real pplns shares and the appropriate payout for each round. I can assure you we are all getting paid properly. I would be the first to say something otherwise lol. http://imgur.com/vbcfOmK |

That's a glitch in coding. 32 bit front end coding limits pplns shares to show that max value. In reality mine were higher and his were even greater than mine.

Hate to point this out but, the previous rounds stats seem bias towards BC Monster? If you sort by contribution he always gets a far greater share, even more than the block finder in some some cases. Am I misunderstanding how PPLNS works?
Working in a pool, being the block finder means you have just triggered the payout for everyone by finding the block, not a special bonus or payout, unless there is a blockfinding bonus, which there was in the first two rounds that I received. I did not submit the majority shares during the first two rounds I found the block, therefore Laviathon got the majority. The third round and this round, I submitted a majority of the shares, hence the majority of btc coming my way. |

We tried, it looks like all was resolved on nicehashes end. Lets hope next round fares far better for all of us. I took a bath in this round for sure.

Now that the order just completed and the total shares submitted are 9.2billion shares, after doing the math, that seems about right for the rates paid. You’re front end really made it appear that we were still paying for 1ph from 6am-10am when it appears we were not. In the future, to avoid freak outs like this, you should enable a paused notification, just the same way a dead notification shows on your rental for periods of no activity. Maybe instead of the red for dead, a yellow for paused and not paying.

My order is wrapping up now, so I will calculate the amount of shared we should have contributed vs what was actually received and get back.
