Hey all,

To start - Im looking to start "fun" mining as I basically want an excuse to start a new project . I have done a bit of research into these two pool reward types.  I have "dabbled" a bit with BTCguild and fully understand PPLNS. I pretty much get CPPSRB although have never used this type of pool.

When it comes to a small hash rate, which is the best pool type to pick? Im looking at Eligius for CPPSRB or BTCGuild for PPLNS.

I understand CPPSRB has a cap so my assumption is that with a low hash miner im never going to be close to a cap? Or I am wrong saying that?
Is it also correct to say if you don't hit a certain number of shares with CPPSRB you receive no reward?



Any info/experience with these pools appreciated.

Thanks

Just to note, Low hash mining in my case = 30-40GH/s

Really appreciate the advice guys thanks for helping a noob


Its now been 24 hours, balance is -0.00002234. As I expected its slowly getting more and more negative....absolute madness..


Cannot recommend Ghash's cloud service at all.

Will be selling my GH/s and looking into other cloud mining.


Does anyone know what the GH/s would need to be in order to just break even on the ghash cloud?  I would have though 15GH(what im using) is more than enough to yield a very minimal but positive balance...clearly not.  


EDIT
Balance: -0.00003648

This is ridiculous lol...
 

Hi there,

Just to clarify I am not in this for profit. I am doing this for fun/self project/want to experience mining.

With that being said, I bought a 333MH/s usb miner, set it up and after a day had 0.00000160 in my ghash.io account.

Finding this awesome that i had experienced mining in its most basic form I though why not just buy some cloud and see what happens  ...huge mistake 

I now have negative in my account..I bought 15GH/s. I know they take maintenance fee but I had no idea i would lose bitcoins instantly just from using their service :S

I am currently at -0.00000412 and assuming its just going to get lower.

Iv contacted cex.io about this and they have just repeat said basically...sorry risks involved..

Exact words


and (in another message)



Yes I know risks are involved..but just straight out going negative within 30 minutes of using a service? How can that be legit?

Any others with this issue?
