0.000116882 average per terahash in the past two weeks.

But past five days has been horrible, 0.0000747 per terahash

Damn, that was a really really bad first ICO to invest in.... 
I guess its so easy for ICOs to make money, just write a convincing whitepaper, start a twitter account, post a thread on bitcointalk, write a few articles and bam.... over $2 million made in a month.

Hey Starscape, thanks for providing detailed instructions on how to participate in the ICO, was my first ICO investment, so was very helpful!

I stumbled upon your fund while researching arbitrage in cryptocurrency, as I wanted to try doing it myself, but I quickly realized that I do not have the capital to execute simultaneous trades on multiple platforms; transaction fees would eat away a large portion of any earnings, and wait times between shifting fiat (since I do not have enough finances to maintain balances on multiple exchanges) from one account to another would limit the amount of trades that I could execute.

I found various good arbitrage opportunities among local currency to BTC exchanges within the EU, for instance check out the CZK price on coinmate.io , BTC is going for $12088 (when converted), its USDT11,276 on poloniex right now.

Only thing that I am concerned is how you will deal with increased capital. I understand you were working with $800,000 of your own money before, but now you will be working with $2,000,000 investor money as well. Since most arbitrage positions are limited in size, you will need to execute more trades to maintain your proposed returns. Just remember most investors, such as myself, would even be happy with 20%, just please be transparent if you notice within the first week that your proposed returns must be adjusted, and do not take unnecessary risks, this should be risk-free after all. I wish you the best of luck!

I was mining BCH during that period anyway, was giving more BTC on a daily basis.
But on the times I was mining Bitcoin I had PPS+ selected, so that pays out transaction fees as well. Regular PPS doesn't make sense on AntPool anymore, it pays out more only when transaction fees are under 1.1 BTC in a block, not sure why people still consider it as an option...

Hey guys, posted this in the AntPool thread, but wanted to share with you guys as well. I have decided to switch pools to SlushPool three days ago, throughout my time on AntPool I kept all of the stats for my income:

30day	Average Hashrate	Average Daily Yield
	41.9	0.007445011

Average TH/s per day isn't available for the first 4 days of mining, but assume it was around 42TH/s.

Green is when I was mining BTC, purple was me mining BCH and converting it to BTC on the exchange, usually I did this as soon as I got the BCH transferred to my exchange(linked AntPool to pay it out directly to the exchange I use). My goal, as is of any miner, was to maximize BTC per day.

I was mining on AntPool with 3 S9's most of the time, on the evening of the 12th I hooked up another E9+ (9.5 TH/s), which just about compensated for the difficulty increase the next day.

I switched to SlushPool after reading these forums, and people giving a figure of AntPool paying about 20% less than Slush and Kano. Unfortunately the first full day mining on Slush (16.01) I got 0.00597, which is the second worst payout I've ever had, the worst came on the (07.01) due to dead ports on AntPool, and me averaging 38 TH/s. But as I've come to understand Slush has a lot more variability, so it was just probably unlucky to hit one of the worst days at the beginning.

Wanted to ask if anyone could give their figure on Average Daily Yield per Terahash for the previous month on SlushPool, just to compare. I will make a new chart, for SlushPool this time, and post it in a month, also accounting for difficulty change. That should be enough to account for variability and provide a good comparison between the two pools.

As I've stated, I have decided to switch pools to SlushPool three days ago, throughout my time on AntPool I kept all of the stats for my income and decided to share it with you guys.

Thats not that bad, on Slush its set to 0.1, imagine mining that with one S9...


Also switched to SlushPool three days ago, I know its been a short time, but its been rough, hoping for a change in luck, cause payouts for these 3 days have been quite below the average I was getting at AntPool. I want to stick around for a month and then compare the figures to see which one pays more. Friend of mine has a miner running on ViaBTC as well, so I'm checking the statistics for that also.

I do agree with you that mainstream media always opt to report on Bitcoin negatively, instead of outlining the potential of crypto currency in solving many issues that are present in financial systems nowadays. The media bias is frustrating.

But on the electricity front, I am concerned for Bitcoin. The consumption of electricity by other industries provides benefits to society and in most cases tangible goods. The electricity spent on Bitcoin is spent on hashing for the generation of a virtual currency, and it is only because the Bitcoin code demands it to be done this way, the generation of certain altcoins is much more power efficient. The amount of mining is increasing exponentially, according to blockchain.info we are at 16,612,036 th/s, we were at 2,830,308 th/s a year ago. Do you not see the dangerous trend here? A year from now Bitcoin mining could prove to be a major strain on electricity networks, and if not regulated it will increase the price of electricity for everyone. We will see it on a micro scale in a place like Wenatchee, as the influx of mining in that town will certainly increase the electricity cost from 4 cents, and residents that lived their whole life there ain't going to be happy.

Its removing the links, guess CNBC is suspicious.

All of the links are on the company that's running the mining operations website:
http://www.salcidoenterprises.tech/news/

A few things surprised me about this coverage:

How cheap electricity can be in the States. I am part of a small mining operation in Siberia, Russia, and we pay 4.5 cents per kilowatt. In Wenatchee it works out to about $40 per month to power an S9 miner...

How transparent and open the coverage on these farms is. Here we had RT contact our farm operator to film the mining center, but in the current state of things it would be highly unwise to let media in. No government consensus on the matter means that the government could come knocking on our door the next day and tell us to wrap it all up and issue us a fine for running unregulated (therefore untaxed) mining operations.

The cryptocurrency craze is helping many people rake in money, but it is also putting pressure on the electrical infrastructure of a small county in Washington state.

"Our infrastructure is actually being put to the test. We're full," Ron Cridlebaugh, the Port of Douglas County economic development manager, told CNBC's Michelle Caruso-Cabrera on Thursday.

Electricity in Washington state is considerably cheaper than in most places in the U.S. The average electricity price per kilowatt in the state is 4 cents. The national average is 7 cents.

Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ripple have skyrocketed in value recently. Last year, those digital currencies surged 1,500 percent and 35,000 percent, respectively.

People have been trying to get in on the action by purchasing these digital assets or by "mining," or creating, them. But the mining process requires a lot of electrical power as computers process gargantuan amounts of data.

Cridlebaugh said the county is building out 100 megawatts (100,000 kilowatts) of infrastructure just in data centers to keep up with demand. "It's going to take some time to catch up because growth has been so quick."

2018

Ebite software didn't help find the IP, but managed to solve the problem anyway.

I bought these miners second hand and it turns out that the previous owner set a static IP for his miners. While the other two miners had reset buttons, this one didn't  I heard that a batch of E9+ was released without a reset button. Of course as would have it the previous owner was impossible to reach.

To find its IP I connected it directly to my computer and used Wireshark to spot its incoming IP. Then I set my router so it can detect its IP and plugged everything back onto the local network, then I was finally able to get onto its page to enable DHCP.

I wish people would reset IPs before selling, although lesson learned, make sure DHCP is enabled before purchasing a used miner.

On the settings page to your e9+ did you set the frequency to 750? Mine was set at 500 when I got it.

Never mind, found it, if anyone is interested here it is.
http://miner.ebang.com.cn/article-8.html
Going to try play around and try to find the IP of the miner now.

I am also having difficulties finding one E9+, bought 3 and and 4 S9s all showed up between the range 192.167.0.1-254 with advanced IP scanner apart from one E9+ which I cannot find. Could you please give a link where I can download this EbiteMinerMini software to find the miner?
