If this keeps up, were gonna drop another PH by Tuesday if not sooner.
Do you mind me asking who you refer, when you say WE. It is more than obvious, that you mine at ghash (I've figured it out from your sig). So, why do you care at all? This answer your question ? What looks so obvious to you just got blown out of the water, so you didn't really figure out anything but mis judge a situation bfore doing your homework on me.  Namecoin investment...  Edit: Ok, so the Cex image isn't showing but the hash there amounts to like 2.36Gh/s or something... all bought with the NMC mined here. |

So, my S2 I got recently hasn't been running smoothly. After some testing and experimenting it now runs stable with 9 blades. With 10 blades I could get it to run about 12hrs at 1th before it started dropping hashrate. If I then restarted the miner process some blades would show up as bad or with x's and I would only be getting 700gh+. With 9 blades, it's running smoothly at 900gh/s for 24hrs+. The one card I removed has only a faulty temp sensor. Does anyone know where it's located on the blade? Or is it inside the chips?
I think the PSU is the problem but don't know 100% yet.
That 100Gh loss is gonna suck for people with say like 10 of these and 4 blades removed with 4 weirded out machines. Although, if you got 10 of these and 4 are having issues then I'd start looking at Bitmain. |

So basically by say, Feb if not sooner, pools will be obsolete and only private farms will turn a profit thus bringing the doom and gloom end to bitcoin.
Pools will not become obsolete as there are some many small miners who have a few miners running in their basements and they want to make a few bitcoins. These small miners cannot solo mine and depend on mining pools for their income. However I expect that the trend for 2014/2015 is that small miners will stop mining as the cost of energy will rise and only large (private) farms will be able to make a little profit. The increase in power consumption moves the miners from basements to professional datacenters and increase the complexity of mining bitcoins, thus resulting in less smaller miners. I still have hope that the small miners remain and bitcoin become available for everyone to mine! ~ Luc This is what I'm saying, if large farms are the only ones able to eventually turn a profit then small miners connected to pools eventually lose. Shutting their stuff off, draining pool power to the point that most pools eventually close their doors. That said, with large farms being the only ones to eventually turn a profit, it wont exactly be good for the network / your average user such as us. |

Difficulty: 16,818,461,371 (+24.93% over previous). We're now approaching the fun territory where it is possible for a shift to go unpaid if a block lasts too long (in terms of shares, not time).
Shifts are ~11b shares currently, meaning the total 'N' value is at ~110b, which is 6.875x current difficulty. This is the largest 'N' value of any PPLNS pool currently, but since the pool is not growing as fast as the network, it is slowly losing ground compared to difficulty. This means that if a block takes more than 7x the current diff in shares, at least one shift will go unpaid. You'll see this on GHash (much more frequently since their 'N' value is very low), p2pool, and BitMinter as well when a particularly long block hits. Again, 'long' in this sense is a measure of shares, not time, though the two are related.
So, .... when are you planning to grow the pool?  All public pools are continuing to shrink in their share of the network as manufacturers of ASICs build up private farms for a fraction of the cost of individuals. Most ASICs these days are not going to turn a profit for an end user, but the manufacturer's cost per hash is significantly lower. In the last 2016 blocks, BTC Guild, Eligius, BitMinter, p2pool, and Slush combined aren't even 20% of the network anymore, and that has been a continuing trend for most of 2014. So basically by say, Feb if not sooner, pools will be obsolete and only private farms will turn a profit thus bringing the doom and gloom end to bitcoin. |

Is it me or does that one blade in your image not have any sort of heat sink on it ?
Also, still looking for five (5) S2 coupons that don't expire for at least a week or longer, just PM me with what you got... will make a sum total 0.4 donation for all.
Edit: My BitMain name is the same as my name here, MoreBloodWine

bitminter has my bitcoins/namecoins and site staff/ owner is ignoring me
I was a little behind on support messages. I wasn't ignoring you or trying to steal your coins. Don't you think it was a little early to assume so? He pushed the panic button ;-) Happens we have all pushed that button once in a while when it comes to BTC/ Alt coins. Myself included. I've smashed the hell out of that button once or twice lol |
