not sure if this is the right place to mention this, but there's not much online regarding renting SHA256 hashrate and I've recently rented some rigs from MiningRigRental (MRR) with the hopes of sending the hashrate to CKpool. It hasn't gone as planed, to say the least.
MRR has been awful, with multiple rig owners taking the rental sats but leaving me with zero hashrate for hours and hours. MRR allows rig owners to extend the rental (for hours) without providing any hasrate (literally zero shares transferred for over 6 hours)..
Tickets opened with MRR are left without any (zero) response to for hours, it's currently about 8 hours since my first ticket, no replies from rig owner or MRR.
[snip] . . . .
TL;DR MRR will take your money and not even bother to reply to your tickets, and/or requests for cancellation/refund for hours. Buyer beware, sadly I feel like I've been scammed basically..
I have use miningrigrentals and have to say these rigs are all run individually, I have encountered rigs going offline and just open a refund request which does get sorted sooner or later. Overall it has been good, but the rate is set by the owner... meaning the rates you saw earlier in the week may have been changed or more likely those are currently rented. When a rental period is up the site calculates the advertised hash rate vs what you actually got, if you ended up with less you are refunded that portion. So, you'll be made whole. Haven't tried NiceHash but sounds like it's timing for both, and don't forget to check the RPI before renting. Thanks for the reply, appreciate your feedback. Yes, I know there are different rig owners - and perhaps it's a coincidence that the same thing happened to me twice in one week using 2 different rig owners. But I don't think it's a coincidence. Two different owners I've rented rigs from both seemed to do the same thing - the rig starts off OK, but after less than 20 minutes the rig goes silent (as the trx fees spike), then MRR allows the rig owner to extend and extend the rental (despite zero shares or hashrate being sent) until the premium moment is over (ie trx fees dropped and I could've rented the same rig for 30% less at the later moment). I waited over 7 hours for a 3 hours rental to pick up again and in those 7+ hours I submitted multiple tickets and was ignored. The rigs (was two rentals from the same owner last night) later started up again after the trx fees dropped to the floor again but I was still charged at the premium rate (as if trx fees were still elevated) meanwhile the rig owner's own rig prices dropped over 25-30% by the time he started mining for me again. So I was forced to pay a very premium rate for a later (very average) moment. In the end MRR allowed this rig owner to screw me out of at least a 25-30% premium and they reimbursed me less than 1/3 of what I was expecting hours ealier (when I wanted to rent, during peak trx moment). Again, MRR allowed a rig owner to scam me and sat by silently (didn't get a reply from MRR for nearly 12 hours) while it happened. I'll never use them again nor can honestly say they are trouble - buyer beware. You could well be right, and in a sense a little exploit hole is being used or not. All I can say is when I used it and when a rig went offline, I know after a rental period it does a check and credits back if the rig fails to meet advertised hash. Just the way I understood & used it there is a set price on a rig, you then just rent it for however many hours which it should run for that entire rental period. I usually rent the cheapest available even if it is multiple and with best RPI rating. Don't blame you for having the same nonsense 2 out of 2 times though. If and when I rent again on there I'll keep a much closer eye out. |

Tickets opened with MRR are left without any (zero) response to for hours, it's currently about 8 hours since my first ticket, no replies from rig owner or MRR.
Specifically I rented earlier today (when trx fees were spiking) and the rig owner sent about 10 mins of hash then nothing (for over 6.5 hours). I know NiceHash does this (leaves you w/o hashrate when other pay more), but they are cheaper than MRR, plus I noticed the rig owners at MRR were suddenly charging about 20-25% more BTC/Th/day when I decided to rent (compared to all of this past week, when trx fees were already up), but did so because trx fees were unbelievable.
TL;DR MRR will take your money and not even bother to reply to your tickets, and/or requests for cancellation/refund for hours. Buyer beware, sadly I feel like I've been scammed basically..

Hello solo mining friends.
Blockparty run 49 are started right now
C'mon 49'rs! looks like we have been really struggling to get any significant hashpower today Yes, some big player rent all the Hashpower on nicehash. We have time, no problem. Best regards, Willi How about miningrigrentals? Not as good? Also curious how long does each block party run for? |

I thought as much, and it makes sense for the ease & smooth runs... and I thought I may not be the only one in the next and the next making it more and more complicated.
Perhaps a Block Party v2 where people that have a slightly larger rig at their disposal pool up like the rental one does now? Would anyone be up for that?
IMHO if you have that kind of capacity available to you I'd personally stick with Solo mining. If you group pooled your capacity under one target address, how would you divvy up the winnings should you hit a block? It sounds like a recipe for a headache TBH. If not from a technical standpoint (which is probably the easy bit) but from the distribution agreement standpoint I'm sure it'd be troublesome even if you're best mates with the people you're pooling resources with. At least with Willi's block party its a single point of contact and single mining resource, so the distribution is clear from the outset. You're right, division would go pretty much the same way the block party goes and each participant would need to have a minimum hash rate to qualify. It would be a little troublesome and can see it giving issues. Ah well, was a thought is all.  |

Question for all block party contributors, is if it is cool just to contribute hash directly? I have a small farm so depending on what it works out per person can simply point my share of hashrate. I understand how this can be a little complicated so completely get if a no go, but only one way to find out! Willi will answer your question, but: The question was asked in another thread (willi's long runs). It's difficult to do this, because as you said, it is complicated. Even if you use a worker name different from the hahsrate rented by willi, it makes sharing potential earnings too difficult (counting and dividing by shares submitted etc..). I thought as much, and it makes sense for the ease & smooth runs... and I thought I may not be the only one in the next and the next making it more and more complicated. Perhaps a Block Party v2 where people that have a slightly larger rig at their disposal pool up like the rental one does now? Would anyone be up for that? |

I would love to add another 0 to get 20 th. Unfortunately my situation makes using too much wattage difficult and dicey as well with very old household wiring and I have to consider noise as well.
My power is technically free, I would feel inclined to share the cost of energy if I use much more wattage.
Something I have considered is getting an asic miner like an S9, but using only one hash board to cut the wattage, but also gaining extra hash power. Perhaps installing quiet fans. That could possibly work.
Think it's covered but I'll add my 2 cents, first all you need to find a block is 1 hash... the rest of those hashes just increases your chances of being the one to find it. In your case even if you added that 0 and estimation of time is 400 years, that is a very fluid estimation... it could be an hour or even longer with the difficulty likely to increase. As for mining on pools with such a small rig it would take months & months before you get to payout, if you wish to HODL then perhaps just DCA your way. With colder months coming about you can double it up as a heater, so helps justify some of that added cost. I would also recommend still using a 220/240 outlet instead of a 120 if you are in North America. Originally had a few S9s, but the ones that were running off 120 power seem to start having issues while the one on 240 still going. That is the one I have dedicated to solo mining. |

S19k arrived yesterday and i got connected to ckpool.. Ping is at 80ms with 0% rejected shares! Is 80ms good enough? Viabtc has a ping of 18ms so considering that but unsure about having a potential block being sent to my viabtc dashboard rather than my direct wallet?
Do I need to add a worker name to my machine or does it not matter since i only have one connected? Does the screenshot look correct?

That's a good miner, and connection looks great. You planning to keep this thing on ckpool permanent or now and again? I ask because the odds of hitting a block are small that you can be mining for years (even decades) without success. I have a small little rig of about 500T total, but only have an old and not otherwise used S9 14.5T mining on ckpool full time. Now and again I may direct 2 or 3 S19 types at it. |

Hello all, Been using ckpool off & on for a while now, usually have an S9 or something pointing at it. Yesterday decided to run 3PH just for a spin of the wheel... and when I checked miner status on one of the ASICs it read 2 Blocks Found. Man, had me going for a minute there  . Not sure how or why it reported that, as I don't quite get the depth of these things... just know my best block has to be above the current network difficulty to even "qualify". Just thought it be a funny little story and good time to say hello. |
