Someone, please! Solve this damned thing already... 25 days...?  |
|

freddyfarnsworth I have done just that. For the past 10 days or so I run 8TH here and 8TH elsewhere. Look at this:  There is another pool out there with ~12,000TH that solves a chain every hour or so, on average. The payout is less, but it is distributed. For them a bad chain is 3 hours long. Right now on Bitminter and with current difficulty to computing power ratio easy chains, let's say 15-20 hrs, are awesome. However, 84 hours to solve ONE chain? Or 77 & 74 hour chains one after the other? You don't make enough to cover electricity costs. Bitminter becomes kind of a lottery now. Easy chain: you make a killing, anything more it turns into disaster. |

I've been on Bitminter since November of 2013
I remember when the pool hit 200 TH. In January it got to 350th/s, and server crashed for half a day.
By the time it came back online, almost half of the people moved to other pools. So it was 200th/s again.
Soon it ballooned to 400, then quickly to 600, and 1,000 TH. Just recently the pool had 1,600 TH/s processing power.
3 weeks ago the string of bad luck happened, followed by some very long chains. I was thinking: one more 99-percenter, got to be followed
by few 10-15% chains, right? But it did not happen.
In August I've made 55% of BTCs I should have made by mining on Bitminter. A half.
Difficulty keeps climbing. We had one stale chain that cost us a day. Pool is at 1k. We have lost 37% of the processing power (from 1.6k we had)
I like Bitminter but I think this pool is in trouble.

Just wanted to say goodbye to our dear departed friend, Block 00000000000000002ceb... You were with us only 15 hours, 20 minutes, we barely got to know ya'  Status of that block says: STALE, what that means?
Stale work means stale blocks. It's not shown in most mining pools, they just throw them away silently. Stale work and stale blocks happen once in a while. There's no income from this.

Yes, it is like making BitCoins and marriage counseling; all-in-one  Given how slow the past couple days have been I thought that I would be seeing less over those days (but obviously averaging out over time) but due to the pool-chaser migration I ended up with a bigger piece of each pie (block) and making more than I would have made in a stretch of good luck. I guess staying put pays in a couple different ways.  |

Bologni! We all know that on BitMinter your favorite color is FIRE ENGINE RED
ON the blocks. Green means it was found before it was expect aka good luck? Red means it was found after the expected amount of time to solve an entire block aka bad luck?
The coloring for CDF is 0-33% green, 33-66% black, and 66-99% red. On average it is expected that each of the three colors will have the same number of blocks. |

I just wanted to let you guys know that BitMain has an AWESOME warranty service here in the USA, and that this options is UNKNOWN to most of you!!!
Instead shipping your stuff back to China they've got a place in Conifer, Colorado!
When one of my Batch 1 S2 Miners went belly up because of a faulty Beagle board they actually shipped me a REPLACEMENT S2 !!! No deposit, no nothing!
When some of my S1 miners developed bad boards (only 2, out of 47) - same thing - USPS to Colorado and a replacement in a week, or so.
If you've got problems, or need some support contact them at 844-248-6246 or sushireview on Skype - this guy is AMAZING !!!
I have spent upward of 150+ BTC on bitcoin hardware, both with BitMain and Sushi, but Sushi will bend over backwards to make sure you are hashing asap !!!!
If you need AntMiners why not spend your money with Sushi and get a ton of loyalty and support in the process?
This post is not commercial in any way, it is just to let you know that there is an option for an AWESOME source of SUPPORT if any of your BitMain products has a problem!
That's all I've got!

This ad is for AntMiner S1 Turbo 200 GH/s Edition.While original AntMiner S1 is clocked at 350Mhz on-chip this one works at 400Mhz, which generates +20 GH/s more!
By incorporating aluminum cover, extra exhaust fan, and aluminum heatsinks the AntMiner Turbo edition has actually lower working temperature than the stock version!
Do not be fooled - without the extra fan and heatinks any AntMiner will work at 400Mhz - but only for some time!
This AntMiner Turbo is rock solid!
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MINE IS INCLUDED:
Pre-configured AntMiner, with cover, and heatsinks applied. Exhaust fan installed, high quality Antec brand ($85 by itself)
+12V 48amps single rail power supply and power cord included.
All you need to mine is an Ethernet cable!
Asking: $280 ($200 miner, $80 PSU, labor, heatsinks, fans, cover, all my work is your gain)
Payment via BTC at preev.com rates of USD to BTC
 Antec PSU rated at 620Watts (single rail rated at 48 amps) - $85 value!!! Exhaust fan is Arctic F12 with fluid dynamic bearing

FeFox was just over 40 TH/s a second ago.
Who is this guy??

I have a total of 46 Antminers S1 connected to a Cisco 2960 switch and a regular $50 Netgear router.
Funny thing is my Explorer and Chrome are just fine, Opera seems to lag a little as far as browsing websites go.
Have to figure this one out one day...

Is that normal? As if blocks below 75% don't exist anymore, or something...  |

HP 403781-001 DL380 G5 1000W Power Supply http://www.amazon.com/HP-403781-001-DL380-1000W-Supply/dp/B001U0EM1WAlso, search eBay for DPS-800GBA-HP ML350/370 DL380 G5 1000W POWER SUPPLY I've got mine for $44 shipped. These were designed for HP ProLiant DL380 G5 line of servers. Mind you, under full load the tiny fans will SCREAM.  This is my mod but I've learned that the PSU uses PWM fans and will not work with any other kind, so I'm waiting for new fans to arrive to finally silence my screaming rigs. Mike |

Hi Mike, I would love to sell you 2 units right now, but I have to be fair to those who placed the reservation. In less than a day, I will sending out PM if the spot on the buy list becomes available. Please stay tuned! I added you on the waiting list for 2. Could you add me to the waiting list for 2, please?
Hard offer, ready to pay now.
Mike

Coinbase takes it's time, but I've done few transactions thu them and they always deliver. The verification process took forever and they insist on texting me an access code every time I log in, but if they've said money will be available Monday at 2pm it was. Just my 2c.

Got 30 Blades on three motherboards at one location. Commercial off the shelf fans cooling them down. I laptop used for proxy server. At home 4 original blades at 13 GH/s and one V2 at 10. 10 USB erupters from when they were selling for $6 on eBay. Someone gave me 10 bitcoins once for fixing his computer. I sold 7 of them for $207. I'm still kicking myself for doing that. At least I've used the money to buy a new stove for my house  Wifey is happy. M. |

And so I've got 360 GH/s in Blades mining on BitMinter
Wanted to join some group buys here.
Can someone take of my training wheels in this forum?
Thanks!
Mike
