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!

 

This was the email from Bitmain:

Dear users

New to mining, been running on p2pool.org for a few days now, things look good.

Started to consider to connect with another node for latency reasons, and
this node 73.252.200.173 gives me 40-50% better ping performances and as
I understand, the faster you can send/receive, the better hashing/mining performance, right?

This node is showing the following from the NODE Scanner:
Address                                                    Fee    Uptime    Efficiency    Hash rate    Users    Ping            GBTL      Version

73.252.200.173 [San Francisco, California]    0%   7.0 days   N/A            0 H/s   0           281ms   224.16 ms   unknown

The Ping Results from my network, to this node are better than 50ms which is what started to draw my attention.

i don't know as-of-yet what to be concerned about in regards to the other info, but when I click on the additional node detail, it seems
a little more interesting again.

Is this node good/bad/dead or worse?

Could I get a little help in considering this node, or another node to connect to?
