It is because of the drop in BTC price, probably a lot of people are no longer seeing a profit so they are shutting down until price goes back up. It won't affect us much right now, the difficulty just changed yesterday (I think), maybe it will eventually, someone with more knowledge will need to answer that.
Sorry... poor choice of words....I really meant luck. Always amazed me how it can take a long time to solve and hit a block or sometimes like yesterday , they come in like BAM! Right one another.
Just was wondering how long you have to be out before the system thinks you're a "hopper"
Will being off-pool for about 2-1/2 hours yesterday mess up my shares and payouts and make me start over on the 500%? Just wondering....or is it the block drought we've had since yesterday?
Yep looking at it from a 1TH view, it often slips under a true 1tH. So the 800GH kills two birds with one stone.....takes care of a 1TH slipping and includes folks with a couple S3's.
guys you can pick up a second S3 pretty cheap on ebay right now. I saw a guy yesterday selling seven of them for 140.00 each and paying shipping. Appeared to be well cared for. I almost bought two but decided to order an S5 for $400. (they're on sale for around 350 and shipping to uS here is just under $50.00. Less power needed than 2 S3's. Just a thought, side benefit is you will double your payouts while you're going for the gold. Happy Mining.
