Better to get the bad one out of the way now so luck can bounce back in our favor. All the smaller miners will earn more than us with our big rentals this round.

My final rental for the round has about 2hours left. Lets hope we crack it here. Also, my second s7 will be up and running tonight at my hosting facility with a third and fourth up and running by thursday night. My stable is growing, and will eventually shift all my miners to my hosting facility since my power costs here are insane.

How does the trust system work? I left you positive feedback three times for the three payments I received. Later this week I will have 3 S7's up and running here at BC Monster as I sold my SP20e. All it takes is several more people to buy into mining here consistently, and we will see the floodgates open. Oh and in the meantime, if anyone else is willing to throw rentals in, that will help us out tremendously in finding blocks more regularly.

Pekatete:
You do understand principles of leadership in an industry correct? Companies that are thought to be leaders should lead through innovation by providing offerings or solutions that are not yet provided by other companies. In this case pools. If slush really cared about being a trailbazer, he wouldn't maintain the status quo of "oh well we had a withholding attack", he would do something different and innovative that would make everyone happy and help change the landscape of the mining world. By him not doing anything, it makes it perfectly fine for any other pool to follow suit. Those are just my two cents.

Do you even realize that none of us speaking are pool operators (other than ck)?  All I have been saying is, just because it was okay in the past for pools to have the mentality of "oh well, we had a block withholding attack, nothing we can do about it." ----Does not mean here in 2016--- with difficulty being so high, and virtually every home/hobby miner resorting to mining in a pool because of the centralization of hashrate, that it should still be accepted; nor the norm.

You would expect an OG pool such as slush to understand this more than anyone, and maybe, to have a reserve set aside from his fees, to say something to the effect of "hey guys, we just had a withholding attack, but I set apart an insurance policy wallet for just the occasion, you will be paid out based on the average amount of blocks we find a day for the current month, oh and btw the ip address, machine, firmware in question is xxxxxx, that would go over with all of us wayyyyy better than what has happened. Maybe I grew up in an area of the world where we are taught to be much less trustworthy than some of you, and that is why it appears to us that you are blindly following.

I guess maybe I am hoping for too much, but for someone who claims to have an extensive past in the banking industry, something like this would exactly be in place.

Bump

Thanks for your help and wishes Johnny!

Just bought 2 more s7's to grow my mining rig, testing out a hosting facility with 1, if it goes well, then sending the rest out to them!

Like I said, if you believe there is nothing hidden, then keep mining here. Fact of the matter is BTC was stolen here no matter which way you slice it. BTC was withheld from its miners. Any payouts never happened. The same exact thing happened to cryptsy, and they went under, slush did not, why? Because of their brilliant PR campaigns with favorable articles strategically published immediately after the withholdings came bubbling up in this forum. Also their paid google advertisements have them pop up first for the casual miner when they search for bitcoin mining pool and the like. There is your ignorance.

You guys that defend slush and his pool are baffling. If ANY other pool had attacks on them where hundreds or thousands of btc were withheld, stolen, hidden, whatever the case may be; that site would be a ghost town in no time with no one mining on it. The fact that there was a hijacking of this pool, and you all still mine here is insanity. He used to brag about having higher than bank level security, and you really believe someone could have programmed their single solitary miner to withhold blocks from a pool with this level of security?

To me this is a smaller scale cryptsy event that just happened, where miners were NOT PAID their BTC, yet you people seem to still happily mine here. Carry on with your pools, I know I will certainly never attempt to earn any BTC here ever again and make sure no family member nor friend does so either.  

Another rental up, lets find that fourth block!

I hope someone else cracks this one, so I can throw another big rental into the next one. 

I had a .10 fixed contract that expired prior to purchasing the devices and did not know. It then went to variable starting in January and at peak times they are now charging me almost .21! I cancelled my delivery service with this provider in january and switched to another for a 12 month fixed term of .07. But my power for January and February have been astronomical because it takes 30 days to complete the switch. Good thing I found 3 blocks otherwise I would not have these things still running.

Decided to swallow the power cost for this month until I get my new provider and brought the sp20e back into the pool with my s7 until the sp20e sells. I figured if I am going to pay out of the nose for power it might as well be two s7's instead. So on the hunt for another s7 as we speak. Lets find that fourth block!

bump, S7 no longer for sale, just the sp20e and 2 power supplies

I would ship to canada but being broke is the dealbreaker lol. For the time being I removed my sp20e and might turn it back on next month once my new provider kicks in.

Any of the pool members located in the US interested in purchasing my S7 or my Sp20e along with their power supplies? My variable power rates are killing me here and need to figure out a hosted solution. Shipping out to bitclouder would cost $600usd so thats out of the question.

Looking to sell My SP20e I bought used off of ebay January 10th and have been using it underclocked since then with one RM850. This unit I hooked up a second RM850 to for testing purposes and does show it can achieve close to the 1.7TH advertised (I was hitting 1.6 off of my testing).

The unit is fully functional, stable and can be sent out for the right offer.

Looking to get .75BTC for the SP20E
I had the multiple power supplies rather than the single large power supplies so I can distribute the load to different breakers in my home.

Any reasonable offers will be considered.
Will ship to the continental US only or offer local pickup. (Located in CT)

For those wondering why I am selling so quick, is I got clobbered with electrical costs due to variable electrical delivery rates here in the northeast.

That data is such a minor snippet though- February 7th-through February 13th (not even a full week). How is 6 days worth of mining relevant to performance anywhere? Need at least one whole months worth of data to gather what is really happening currently. Case in point, BC monster solved one block february 6th and one february 15th,  Im sure even more for the bigger pools as well.
