Why look at the market tickers when we have this thread

Reminds me of this:



UPDATE:
@Sevvero, please give me a price update, it's been 5 minutes already!!!

I predict the price at $0 within 37 hours, when I will buy all BTC in existence for nothing, and I will hoard them forever. I just hope the FBI will sell me their ex-silkroad BTC for nothing. All mining devices will be permanently hacked to mine for me and also hoard forever. There, no more supply, therefore no more bitcoin in less than 37 hours, end of story and discussion. SELL NOW!

P.S.
Nice troll thread btw

I realize this may have been answered in a different post, but the thread is 100+ pages, so if someone (especially nicehash) has already answered, please forgive me.

So the question is this - why does the NH pool request work restarts so often? Even when I'm hashing the same order (I know for sure because there was only one active one and all miners on the pool were assigned to it), the pool requests work restart every 10 seconds or so. This has dramatic effect on the average hash rate. For example I have a really stable 3.5 TH on regular pools, but on NH with all the work restart requests, it drops down to 2.9-3.1. So this actually means that any increase in pay-per-GH over a regular pool will be negated by the significant decrease in your rig speed.

Couldn't it be adjusted so that there is no work restarts unless you change the order you are hashing for, or something similar? See the screenshots, work restarts 10-12 seconds apart.

I do sincerely wish you good luck with the refund.

Still, I was talking about shipments overseas. US to Canada and vise-verse is easy, as a lot of US and CA companies do that and have experience. But ask a US company to estimate customs charges to EU, or China, or Middle East. Or ask a EU company to estimate customs tax to anywhere outside of EU... There are 193 UN recognized countries... It's simply impossible (or rather very expensive for a company to research) until you, as an end-user, get the bill

EDIT:
I'm not defending KNC in any way (not after the wait the forced me to endure), all I'm saying is that for any such equipment it would be good to ask how it is being declared at customs and do research for your country on how much you're expected to pay for import. It's not directed at you, it's generic advice for all our miner buddies out there

Pfff... you may return it to sender, but good luck getting a refund this way. A better option, I think, is to sell it (albeit a bit cheaper) quickly to someone who is willing to also pay the customs tax. But still, you should wait until you get the invoice from UPS, you may just slip through

For anyone else receiving this kind of equipment from overseas (doesn't matter in which direction)- most companies can't estimate what you would pay in customs for your units. I had this exact situation last year when receiving from BFL, I had to pay customs for my order when coming from US to EU. Since each country has very, and I mean very complex customs laws, it's more or less unpredictable for businesses even if they are willing to give you an exact quote. And don't even get me started on shipments from China... Depending on where you are, you can pay from nothing to 200% import tax... So always keep this one in mind

First batch of Titan is 300 MH, according to KNC, and only 2nd batch will be 400 MH. Still, at $10,000 a piece for the first batch, and the chips wafers having just left for the packaging factory, I'd say a similar investment ($10,000) is right now better spent on Hashlets.

Simple calculation:
1. Titan 2nd batch (what you can order right now) - $7000 + VAT if you are in EU - 400 MH unconfirmed - unknown delivery date, especially for batch 2
2. Hashlets - $7000 buys you 437 MH (no VAT, no customs, no nothing) - immediate delivery and hashing - higher payouts from ZenPool at the moment

If GAW continues to be legit, I'd take their deal any day. And believe me, I've been a passionate KNC customer, but GAW/Zen is the thing right now.

Actually they count the introductory as Batch 0 ($10,000), then the $12-grand one as Batch 1, and then Batch 2 is Dec-Feb orders again for $10,000. I'm guessing then you're indeed Batch 2. Any willingness to share first three digits of your order number? Just so we know where we're at. I will understand if you don't

P.S.
I'm 189xx (B2) myself and still not shipped, or even "in production".

Are you batch 2? There is an ongoing discussion whether KNC shipped anything form batch 2 (here, as well as on KNC forums) like their announcement said, and if you are you would be the first confirmed one.

I bought 2 hashlets by 1MH just to try it out. The payouts for ZenPool are abnormally higher than mining any altcurrency. My best calculations show a ROI within 50 days, which is better than any currently available, or even proposed, miner (but only if you use ZenPool). So I'd be a bit weary of all of this, as it looks too good to be true, but I think I can risk for another 25 or even 50 MH, while they are still paying out. Who's to say it may even truly ROI

A note of caution: You can't sell your Hashlets. So once you've bought them, that's it. There is a proposed "market" for buying and selling (I suppose something akin of CEX.IO) but it's in the "upcoming" section for now.

A lot of calculations done pretty fast by the community. I don't think, however, Jupiter and Neptune can be compared so directly - we have no idea at what clock speeds the Neptune chips will run. Though I am almost certain it will not be the same clock as the Jupiters, so in essence we can't compare core-for-core performance.

Does the whole system have to be brought down for every upgrade? It would seem the hash rate drops for a couple of hours before more hashing power is brought in. Is it not modular?

True. I hadn't thought of that. 

Does anyone know at what time (UTC preferred) the difficulty changed? The last 6 transactions to LC address would suggest an average of 961 GH/s. But that's with the new difficulty.

In short - no. We don't know how fast they are hashing, and we have no official statements of moving to another exchange.

Nah, too lazy right after work... Someone please explain it

So, someone got BTC20k out of 1KRj8opQ5y3h2dw8FjnskxuVZ5qtu5Uuid. Who's 1KRj8opQ5y3h2dw8FjnskxuVZ5qtu5Uuid, and why should we care? 

Well, your calculations suck then

No, actually they don't I explicitly said this was a daily (and a 2 day) average. If tomorrow's average is better, I would be glad

EDIT: I'm only interested in sustained hash power. Certainly calculation based on every payment's timing is not the way to go here.

Actually my calculations would show a ~722 GH/s averaging yesterday and today. Averaging just today, it's ~748 GH/s. So not very promising.

2 teams * 15 BFL singles would throw us off the list. It's quite funny how little hashing power we got at the moment. Here's hoping more will be deployed fast.

Uhmm, that means you have to provide your own address, which would be visible to the security issuers in case something happens to BTCT. That has nothing to do with Labcoin, it's just a security precaution from BTCT.

TL;DR: that address is only visible to security issuers.
