Nice, I look forward to the mobile app and checking out your pool.  Just please do not SPV mine or mine empty blocks with your pool!

Good luck.

Someone else posted that, too.  I thought it was this thread but can't find it, might be cksolo pool thread.  Anyway, I think the answer was it's a bug and to ignore it.

I got my R1 back up, still tracking an issue down and the gekko stick is off but the R1 is alive again.  Had a nice 7M share right before the solo block was found and reset everything!

That's what I'm hoping for!  I refuse to support Bitmain and their empty blocks by buying new hardware from them.  I'll buy second-hand bitmain gear from a 3rd party, but not from "the man" directly.  I don't expect to see used S9's any time soon, though.  However I do expect the price on the used S7 market just dropped out from the bottom, ha.

It's an interesting gamble Bitmain is taking releasing these now.  There's no way to ROI before the halving, so you are gambling that they will be able to pay for themselves after the halving, which is uncertain.  I will not buy new from Bitmain, I refuse to support them directly, but once some 3rd party deals start happening I'm going to have to get a 16nm machine, the efficiency is just nuts.

So much network growth, for example check out HaoBTC, they were 9PH when I first deposited some coin with them:

Hopefully we'll stay ~flat this period, but big changes are coming for sure.

+0.7% = Mikestang

My R1 is back in the antrun, and just in time because a cksolo block was found, so a new round it underway!

You're finding altcoin blocks while rented out to nicehash.

I have to take my fun runners down for a bit while I chase down a problem, they'll be back soon.

The last block the pool solved was 410235 BCMonster 05/05/2016 07:55:35, so you might be mining somewhere else and got and altcoin block.

[conspiracy]Would it be a 38% attack if they use it that way?  I would think that if it became obvious that diff was manipulated (not saying it hasn't already been...) then the price would tank once people saw what was happening; it would be a self-defeating attack.  Or are we seeing it happen that way now?[/conspiracy]

My block chain is syncing, so I am unable to check this myself, but can someone tell me if we are current on payments, or still owed a week?  Thanks.

This is what I've been hoping for!  At some point it will not be possible to run the megamines for the reward they receive.  Here's to several hundred more PH dropping off the network!

Hooked up the Avalon6 last night and powered it via 120v.  It ran all night just fine at 3.5TH, 11.9v, pulling almost 1100W at the wall.  Temps on the miner and psu looked fine with my infrared thermometer, but I could tell that the psu fan was kicked up a couple notches vs. were it would spin when I ran it off 240v.  Wish I still had high voltage at the new place, I might pay to have an electrician add a circuit, but good to know I can at least use my Avalon again!  I am going to send it off to be hosted anyways...

That's like over 3000 Avalon 6's, it would look like any of the videos of the big data centers that we can see on youtube and stuff.  Would be cool to see some pictures, though, especially with kano.is showing on a monitor or two in the photos.

We might see a flat adjustment, but I doubt we'll see significant negative until after the halving, if even then.



Looks like the burn-in test of the next gen hardware is over.  My guess is now we will see the last gen stuff coming offline and being resold to make room for the new gear, and then the difficulty will go up up up.  When will we see a 500G difficulty? 

Well wow, I wouldn't have thought to even try it at 120v to run my Avalon.  But your success makes me rethink, and I'll have to try my Avalon tonight.  Even though it works for you my mind looks at the numbers on paper and says it shouldn't work.  I just don't want to burn anything down...

At some point, either after enough halvings or if the price drops enough, it will no longer be cost effective to mine bitcoin on a large scale.  At that time all of the mega mines will close up shop and we will be back to small-time "home" miners securing the network.  I cannot see any other way bitcoin would ever go back to "the way it was".

Rules are rules for a reason, if he made an exception for you (who, by the way, provided no evidence of who you are, just some links; hey, I own the whitehouse, evidence: https://www.whitehouse.gov/) then he would have to make an exception for everyone.  If you are active then you should have no problem qualifying by the next round.

You're not even wearing the signature or in the campaign, why do you care?
