Anyhooooo - if all us pool miners set our payout trigger to the minimum will that increase the number of Bitcoin transactions, and therefore increase the number of blocks being processed and therefore ultimately increase the reward we get for mining!!!!!!!

Quote from: sjc1490 on August 12, 2014, 05:52:12 PM Been mining here since March and today I finally found a block for the first time, not that it means anything but at least I don't feel skunked now. Excellent. Well done. I wish my miner could find one - it would certainly cheer me up!

Quote from: mstrongbow on August 12, 2014, 03:55:15 PM Quote from: Devonian on August 12, 2014, 11:42:37 AM anyone notice that there is a 10% discrepancy between the number of shares their miner gets accepted and the % of BTC allocated? In particular block 315196 : I mined 0.0030% (big woooo!) of the total shares for that block but only got 0.0027% of the BTC for it! And I've checked that I was mining for full amount of time so I don't think the back ended loading can account for it!!! . . . . and another thing - if all us pool miners set our payout trigger to the minimum will that increase the number of Bitcoin transactions, and therefore increase the number of blocks being processed and therefore ultimately increase the reward we get for mining!!!!!!! could that be the 2% pool fee you see missing? block 315196 difference was more like 10%!!!! When does Slush take his share? I thought it was when payment is made into my wallet.

Quote from: RogMiner on June 19, 2014, 05:23:02 PM Quote from: Devonian on June 19, 2014, 03:28:53 PM Thanks for all the quick responses - though not what I wanted to hear!!! Just bought Antminer S1 for £250. Currently mining at 0.007682/day, though there have been two v long blocks on Slush this week. With elec costs here in UK of £1/day I reckon that gives ROI of 154 days ignoring any increase in difficulty or change in £/BTC. As you say, more entertaining than profit earning (and talking to a nice bunch of guys like you!). But I still ask the question - what should I upgrade to , to make some money? Couldn't find any info (in English) on Xia-T-Hash! Anyone any experience of Miners Cube? Are you really getting .007686/day? Is the S1 overclocked? You may have noticed a difficulty change in the last few days, recalculate your average since the change and you may find it is more like .005/day. I also got an S1 recently, but mine came from Amazon and cost loads more. When I plugged the power into blade 2 there was a bang and a flash and one of the capacitor cans flew across the room, a new one is on the way but in the meantime I am hashing with half an S1. Where did you buy an S1 for £250? that seems a great price. .007686 my running average since 12 June 2014. No not clocked - running between 175-185 GH/s. Last 2 or 3 days been pants, but we've just had a 7min block (whoopee!) and 14 June was agood day. Got mine for £253 inc postage via Amazon sourced from HAD Systems in Germany. Ordered 9 June arrived in UK on 11 June. On 11 June Amazon were selling same from Studio K34 for £249 (not sure how much postage). Just checked - that is now mysteriously £319!!!

So what kit can I buy right now <$5k that will get me a reasonable ROI on capital outlay taking into account electricity costs?
