What's the latest on bringing NastyPool online?

Who's Mining Where?

How's Mining going?

How's the PowerWall Doing?

Happy New Year Nasty Fans!

Where do we go from here?

I saw the status posts from OgNasty about Funds, Wind Turbine, R4, and the whole Net split.

It seems that mining on P2Pool isn't happening and if anything we're looking to NiceHash?

As usual, I appreciate any guidance here.

I shutdown my mining operation due to 'non crypto reasons' and in the process I ended
up with (2) Brand New, Unopened S9 Units, in the Box from Bitmain in addition to my
(2) Used S9 Units, for a total of 4.

The used ones have power supplies, the new ones do not.

Any interest in any of these?

I may or may not return to Mining.

Thanks again it has been quite a ride!

I love how those things happen w/o notice!

Switching over to Germany....

Errr.... that didn't work... is 'NastyFans Mining' Down?  11:53PM

Thanks for the quick response!

Germany is Responding now, i'll check on NewJersey 12:06AM

Confirmed responding 12:12AM

Are we down @ NastyFansEast ?

Could be considered old news...

'$60 MILLION' Bitcoin theft: Hackers steal huge haul as value of the cryptocurrency soars to record high of $15,000

Slovenian bitcoin marketplace NiceHash said its bitcoin wallet was raided

It reported the incident to police and told users to change their passwords

Users shared company's wallet address which showed it had 4,736.42 BTC

Price of bitcoin has surged to over $14,000 gaining $1,000 in less than a day

OG Nasty, how you doing with this?

hacked or embezzling?

I'm so grateful!

It is good to have someone as beneficial as you lightfoot, hardware guru, BTC afficianado, and block bringer to boot!

Block!

 

Thanks for that, yes "all other things being equal", your reward would be less, with more users sharing the same block reward.

I've been in a few pools, some of those that are apparently in the 1% of BlockChain  hashing (the smaller of some of the LARGER POOLS), and as I mentioned we hit a few blocks within a few days or couple weeks and ended up with $15-$20 worth of BTC each block, and if I were to extend that pattern, to even say a $100-$200 within a couple weeks, and maybe $400-$500,
in a month.

Being in a smaller pool, and in about 2 months, end up with $3,000 worth of BTC is a huge difference on return, and of I know you can't expect that period after period.

I'm  guessing that 1% and up is too big, and 100-ish or less users is too small, and i'm looking for something that's just right, like .5 % or even .25% blockchain hashing rate pool.

I'm sorry, this is very likely to be a 'terminology issue' on my part.

If you have 100 users, and you hit a block, isn't the reward divided by the 100 users, and
the ratio is of on the hash rate/hashing done by each and therefore if you are in a pool,
with 1000 users, your reward would be LESS?

I'm looking for a BitCoin Pool, Not Too Big, Not Too Small, with some consistent block reward activity.....

Is that a pipe dream?

And if there is such a thing, no one wants to share that in order to keep it that way, right?

Been mining for about 5 months now, ended up with about 1.5BTC thus far, so I am appreciative of that.

I'm just looking for the opportunity to hit a block, more often, in less than massive pool, not that i'm expecting to
get rich quick or make a fast buck, I'd just like a little more, a little more frequently, if at all possible,
and I am going to increase my mining power by re-investing what i've earned thus far.

I've been in pools, and yes we hit blocks every few days, sometimes even more than once a day,
but at .000Xxxxx per reward, after thousands of miners have contributed, it's not the greatest return.

The largest/most massive pools, process that much more of the Chain, and therefore they get the blocks
more often and it's less and less about about luck?

I'm still looking to find out, a better explanation as to how 'reward blocks' are actually available to be processed
by whatever miner/pool/farm in the block chain.


Thanks for any advise & guidance or being adopted by such a pool!

 

There's an inside joke that a few of my friends and business associates say, due to someone's inebriated saying on one of our personal outtings,
which seems very appropriate at this time:

                   Are you F**ken Sh**ting me !?!?!?!

(wasn't sure if cursing was fully appreciated here)

I have a unit that most likely has a bad board, and I was getting ready to send it to the CA Warranty Center... with what you're saying, I'm just
a little concerned now....

WOW!

 

Is there a NastyPoolNode/Server Down/Interrupted or Something?

Thank you Nonakip for the response and your time on this matter.

Please note "expected payout" also appears here (i'll check the other pages and advise):

https://nastyfans.org/miners/

This is an exact copy of content:

NastyPool miners

This page lists the Bitcoin miners active on NastyPool over the past 24 hours. It shows the hashrate of each miner and marks accepted P2Pool shares. It shows the payout address and expected payout to each miner for the current P2Pool mining round. It shows the payout method chosen by the miner.

I am understanding that the Hash rate is low these days, I was only comparing my first 2 months of experience with NastyFans and/or P2Pool, with the last couple months where the "expected payout" seemed to CLIMB and then HOLDS whereas for the last couple of months, it hasn't climbed much at all, and it drops significantly.

i'm in full agreement with "not looking to make a fast buck" @ NastyFans or P2Pool, or Bitcoin Mining in general, i'm just trying to learn
how this 'all works' and get the proper perception via NastFans/P2Pool and you are helping to do that, thank you.

By any chance, is there anything available 'out there' where it gives a a visual as to how the whole block chain, and miners/farms, and blocks, and Block Rewards work on a Global/Pool/Node basis?

Thanks again as always to You, OgNasty, and NastyFans!

Am I missing something here?

Why is this guy and these threads allowed to continue?

I know some of us have fun with responding to such things but I do believe in this case we're just making it worse.

Ban, Block-and-delete seem to be in order.

Yo, just joined up!

Good luck to us all!

Any suggestions for setting Difficulties?  I have 2 ASIC Miners and also is it recommended to make separate worker names for them

Thanks for that response, i've been mining with NastyFans around 2 months now, and so far the experience has been the 'expected payout' has been increasing for the most part.... No, not like a Speedometer, but incrementing until we've hit a block.

I've been watching mine as well as a few other miners, and yes they increase as well.

These last couple weeks+ I had gotten around .6xxxx  and then it dropped down to .5xxxx and it hasn't budged much.

I have been up over .7xxxxx  and another miner was at 1.2xxx before the last block.

I'm hashing between 25-30TH

I've also noticed the other higher powered miner has dropped down their Hash Rate from their usual, and way down from
what i've seen it max out at...

That miner is usually around 30+, i've seen it go over 70, and for the last couple weeks has been less close to 13-20.

Yes I figure they are pointing their hashing power elsewhere at those times.  (would love to know where)

Per your PM, 'everything is working fine' but in the little experience i've had here @ NastyFans, over the last 2 months,
it's been very different.

Thanks again for schooling me!

Or what's happening with the 'expected payout' it hasn't increased in sometime now...

Can I buy a Vowel or a Clue as to what's going on?

Did we hit a block?
