Looks like the time to start modding my S1's to maintain maximum profits as I am now needing to add more hash power to my farm in order to keep my daily reward close to where it was before. What percentage was the last difficulty increase? Knowing that should give me a good figure for how much I need to increase my hash rate. I think I would rather see the 4 Ph/s over the 3.4 we are pushing now...if the pool doesn't grow with the network, the pool WILL get left behind.  never ending story. are you new here? If I understand the question correctly, you are asking how long a piece of string is. **Answer at end of post The best way to work out your new required hash pwr is what you got pre diff change Vs what your getting now V Pools Current Peak Hash pwr V your current hash power V your budget V your expected end game with BTC. The new Diff has nothing but something to do with your current earnings on slushes pool, (Time in a round <Time in at end of Round) V pool hash V your current hash power. Slush is luck at end of day, we have good rounds and some bad ones, I think pool hash pwr on the short rounds only lessons your earnings but on long ones the converse. So look at your new earnings and how much you are willing to Gamble. A piece of string is twice middle distance to end. |

I am at least 2 weeks from being able to make my next purchase...most likely a couple more S1 units and mod those so that I can push ~1 Th/s but on 1/2 the watts! I am picking up a small scrypt asic setup to keep my "mine" diversified and versatile! ...and, by the time those are paid off, will you have enough to buy the next latest and greatest, will it ever end? no. TEEEEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hue hue *cough* TEEEEHeheheee |

Seems like every night (CST) we climb back up to the 4371 Thash/s mark. Wish whoever would just leave it pointed this way so we could work through some of these long rounds quicker.  1st time I noticed we went above 4000 TH was a couple of days ago, prior to that the highest I had seen was 3800 TH and normal peak was 3600 TH that would then drop down to 2600 TH |

I have got a Xia-T-hash ASIC Machine, just like this: http://www.btcgt.com/goods.php?id=8it can mining in slush by "stratum+tcp" normally that is with 1000+Ghashs hashrate, but by "mining_proxy.exe", it only get a 19+Ghashs hashrate, and the ASIC Machine's Control Panel shows it runs in 1000+Ghashs.  so what is the matter, how to make it runs Fully devoted by "mining_proxy.exe". whats your difficulty settings mate? isn't that .exe a bridge for the old getwork only units? |

my earning is cut by half  If its on the estimate, it could just be the normal glitch thing the estimate has been doing for a while, hash power is up on the of late normal rise we get, it was 4000 th for a little then it dropped to 3800 now its back up to 3900 atm. I need more hash powers |

Holy bat crap radioactive man, we just broke 4000 TH

maybe with the difficulty going up and up in future, the bitcoin system will come back to what it was meant to be in the first place, and that is the ordinary smaller miners, but hey what do i know..being a newbie lol  nar that wont happen sorry to say,, to many dollars invested in hardware now I just want this round to end so I can see what my /round pay is |

Did you read it? cause it kinda says that GHash has broken the 50% before
Yes, but they're wrong. Or GHash.IO broke 50% in the same way that other pools have - by solving one block out of two. Or for an hour or two. But not for any significant length of time. The most they've done in a day is 47%, and corrected for 'luck' the best they've done for in any 160-block period is 46% . didn't they do the double spend on a gambling site? |

Not so much, GHash has broken the 50% barrier for sustained periods of time. The old news was they were a threat to but promised never to grow that much. Remember the public statements from them and putting a halt to independent miners joining? The unwritten news is they lied through their teeth and continued to add hashing power to their private stash. You do recall they were already caught once performing a double spend attack, correct? It is new news, a current problem if they continue unchecked. [/quote] Every pool has broken the 50% barrier every block. If you don't get the next block, then you're still at 50% for two blocks. On a daily average, Ghash never got over 50% of the network. On a 160 moving average, GHash.IO might have just touched 50% once for an hour or so. Short answer - no, GHash.IO hasn't "broken the 50% barrier". I'd be more worried abut the fact it even got to 40% of the network. It tells me that many - maybe most - miners are very short sighted. [/quote] Im guessing the real short answer is You can type but cannot read http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/bitcoin-mining-pool-ghash-io-is-unapologetic-risk-theoretical-51-attackYou should try it or you are self proving your theory of short sight [/quote] I have no idea what you mean. What does that article have to do with anything I wrote? [/quote] Did you read it? It kinda says along with the 1st article posted that GHash has broken the 51% before for an extended period and the power been was used maliciously which defies your short answer and view of many - maybe most miners |

Omg longest block ever..12hours.... I've seen long blocks but now I am trying out cloud hashing for 24 hour and now seems a waste...sadden I am. ..
heh longest block ever heh I THINK the longest block was 26 hrs if i remember correctly newbies...soooo cute (stay away from BFL!) Searing Cloud hashing startles me, how and why would a company buy all the hardware and infrastructure just to sell the hash power at less than what the coins are worth, if they are selling the hash pwr at higher rate than the coins are worth, then why would someone pay for the hash pwr. Am I missing something here, or is it a gamble on the company selling the power that the hardware is directed at a pool and it has a stupid long round/s? I'm thinking the money people are sending them is paying for the Equipment and power to run them, all the other stuff doesnt much matter. They can then skim 2% of the hashing power from each machine and go completely unnoticed to pay for a few Porsche's. Yeah it didn't seem there was a fair exchange and a rort had to be somewhere. Combine that with CEX.io only being able to point the miners at GHash pool, seems like an easy way government to get into mining and fook it up for us. Even if GHash lost control of their pool or sold it could fook it. Having the hardware in the hands of individual miners seems the only way for it not to go that way |

I knew it would happen. I had a 2 hour power cut this morning 16 hours into the block. Of course the block was found after 18 hours and I received 0 reward. Doesn't seem fair that I used 16 hours worth of electricity for nothing and yet somebody who hopped in to Slush one hour before the block got a full reward Fortunately it took less than 4 hours for the next round to result in a resolved block, so you got off easy on this one. Just think of it as a 24 hr block resolution and move forward. The likelihood of you having a power outage at just the wrong moment is miniscule. It just as easily could have been that your power was also restored in just enough time for you to have benefitted from a short call on the block. Bahahahahaa way to Glass half full it. |

It just means all the previous blocks have been confirmed in the last 16+hrs the current block has bean churning away [pedant] Strictly, it's the current round, not the current block. Many blocks have been solved in the last 16+ hours, just not by anyone in this pool. When someone, somewhere, solves a block we all start working on the next, and all within the current round, which ends only when somebody in this pool solves a block. [/pedant] Yeah my bad, round not block, and did you mean strictly or retentively hue hue hue |

Is something not right when there are no blocks to be validated on the statistics page? My last block was 305317. It's just something I've never seen in my 2 weeks of mining.

CAn someone explain what happened with Block 305317? It looks like something is wrong with the reward...almost 10% of what might be expected.
The 10% could be extra hash pwr by others, some of your equipment is not working, you had some stale shares, your equipment threw lots of hw faults over the last 13hrs. Mine is a little up on what has been happening lately |

#22220
Similar here and there is a spike on my backup pool, so it was caused from a connectivity problems (from EU?) to the pool well hate to punt to you i work nites and have to crash..never made a ticket...could you do so please? for anyone else lurking on here with same problem as well? if not no big deal...but don't want to deal with this now on no sleep Searing (i know i'm a pain in the butt) #22220 was normal for me, dunno if a ticket will do it for you |

what really sucks about slush method is if your miner goes down in last part of round and you don't catch it in time, you get nothing for last 6hrs or work,, DOH! |

I started mining on this pool just a few weeks ago, but, whats the avg earning / day for 200 GH/s for example?(1 antminer S1).
For example, one day i earned around 8 €, another 10€, another maybe 5€... it depends always on the blocks of course... sometimes a block is found with just mins or 1 hour, and sometimes you have to wait 17 hours xDD
That question is the intrigue of The Great and Mighty SLUSH POOL. Since Slush is not the biggest fish in the sea, there is no "average day" and therefore, no "average earning / day". On the rare day, we may feel lucky to get 1 block resolved, and then on another we may be so blessed as to get 10 or more blocks resolved. These past few days have been wonderful, and that is why I mine SLUSH. I find it boring to sit back knowing that every hour, we would find a block and that being part of a "super sized" pool, each and every participant would receive his tiny share of the reward, but the consistency would be there at at the end of the month or the end of the three month cycle I would find "X" bitcoin in my wallet. With SLUSH, we may have a slow day with 1 block, and the next day we may have a very exciting rush of blocks. Ultimately, and "on average", at the end of the month I would find that same number of Bitcoin in my wallet, but the "roller coaster ride" made it all worth the drama and excitement of mining with SLUSH. Typically any of the Bitcoin Calculators will tell you what to "expect" to earn in a given month. If you work with a "super sized" pool, you'll find that estimation to be fairly close. If you work with a less than "super sized" pool, you'll find that estimation to be fairly close. The way that I look at it is, do I want to be bored while waiting for my Bitcocin bank to build, or do I want DRAMA, and Excitement, and a bit of misery along the path to the bank, and every time, I choose SLUSH. Ride the roller coaster!  I ran a 7-week experiment starting in 11/2013 where I pointed 1/2 of my hashing power to BTC Guild. I earned almost exactly the same but just a little more here. Granted that is an unscientific experiment but it was to silence a current and any future whiner. And I am glad to see you get some excitement out of being here but I was here to earn cash. My old farm of block erupter blades and cubes are no longer generating what they cost to run in electricity costs and today is possibly their last day running as I consider shutting them down. Any new mining equipment these days is priced too high vs difficulty pushing it to obsolescence in weeks, anything even close to ROI is impossible. Even as an enjoyable hobby I'm not spending $1,000 to return $100. Maybe enjoy the ride, I do agree some gear is not worth running now, if you consider what you got involved in, if you want to turn cash around fast and not hold coins over time or at the end you are correct, look at pre last xmas prices, we wont hit them again, but every coin today if you believe in Bitcoin is worth more in the tomorrows to come |
