With things like this:

PureVPN is the one I'm using. Very fast software with it, loads of servers, plus, there is an app for Android (and probably ios) so all surfing on your phone is over VPN. Some providers don't want skype or something or block certain sites. Very happy camper.

They have a referral program if you'd like to let me profit on their new clientele

I do use it regularly to buy sushi
And last month a VPN subscription.

But that's probably not weird

Maybe take a look at the Antminer S3's. They're doing BTC mining only but with the economic power draw they should ROI, especially with cheap power.

If you use Nicehash or a rental as first pool and then a "normal" BTC pool you should make a bit higher than straight BTC on those.

It's an interesting thought that GAW might just be reselling through rental sites and such and with that earning the higher payouts. Though hard evidence of mined blocks might be a better one.

Is there noone who has good contact with one of the major exchanges? There is surely some KYC needed if you pump hundreds of BTC per day over their systems

I second that, lean and mean is better

Just signed up, will report back once I have details

I should take home 0,065 a month (on average) but I assume I will be missing a week here and there throughout the year regarding not making the required amount of posts

I have to say that though it's still going downwards it's not going as fast anymore as months ago. Though I'm slightly afraid for the moment the megamachines hit the market

I second that. I ran the controla first but after switching to Minera I got about 10-15% more hashes

Traveling atm. Will check back and report back once I'm home. Problem is that one or both of the raspberries end up mining the donationpool as "the pool" instead of just a time period. I'll be back with more details next month

I second that. Have been using Minera for a while now and support from the developer is very good!

Well, I also have two Ant S3's in their ZenCloud so maybe there
It's just that the ledger is open to everyone, maybe it's possible to find some clues there

It's a bit over my head, but has anyone tried to track their payout in BTC to some mining action in the blockchain? To confirm it was mined "somewhere"

What daemonfox says here. I've been critical of Ninja before and am on top of this GB regarding management but he's not a bad guy. So please leave the thread alone if you are not a customer or won't be adding anything usefull.

I have NiceHash, CM, Ghash and Multipool setup. And had the donationpool under it. I don't think it will happen often that Nicehash, CM, Ghash and multipool are down but that the ghashmultipool is up

It's been reported before and I haven't seen a "fixed" notice but I could've missed that

Have tried it a week ago again and when I got home one of my RPi's was running donationpool for more than the 15 minutes I had put in

I wonder what all these price raises will work up to.

Is there a solution already for the bumping down the poollist which ends up on the donationpool?

Because I want to donate something, but would be ok with giving 15 minutes a day but not keeping it as last pool in the list as it will get much higher than 15 minutes a day then

I was mainly aiming at Ghash for their extra mined coins that they deliver with merged mining. In that sense we could cover some of the electric with those coins. Eligius does merged with NMC but I haven't seen a payout there for months.

Getting a few percent extra does a lot for the profitability. I don't think Ghash will get anywhere near 50% again, so I don't see the problem there at the moment. We could vote on it?

And @MWNinja, we've been mining for a few days now. Where did we go for? And is there a place to check the results so far?

Multipool Scrypt I'd go for:

1. Nicehash (with diff set at 256) (with minimum payout to the payout on LTC * 1,2)
2. Clevermining (with diff set at 256)

For SHA256 I'd go for this:

1. Nicehash (with minimum payout to the "average" payout on 1 Th in BTC * 1,05)
2. GHash.io

Since you're in the US you'd be better off with WestHash I think, same system.

Minimum payout refers to the payout per hash that the market at that point gives, if it drops under that it kicks your miner off and lets it drop to the failover pool. Once the payout pops up above your set minimum you'll be mining nicehash again automatically.

Regarding the average payout on BTC, I fill in 1 Th here: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty (atm 0.02109) so you'd end up with a minimum wanted payout of 0,0221445 BTC per Th/day.
LTC same thing, Nicehash pops up and down a bit throughout the day, I keep my miners there when it's about 110/120% above regular LTC levels.

I on average update those minimum levels every week to one and a half week, at least when there is a BTC difficulty change or a bit jump with LTC.

I don't mind getting paid every two weeks if that makes it a lot easier for you from a bookkeeping point of view, higher would be a bit too long though.

Those upgrades are as specified on the Bitmain website right now? The one shipping before 20th of september?

Are those S1 going to run undervolted for the time being until the upgrades are there? Because buying completely new S3+'s will cost at current bitcoinrate 295 USD each which is cheaper then buying 3 x S1's off of you and waiting for the upgrades. Unless we'll be running hashes with them untill the 20th of september. Then it makes more sense.

And I've raised a question before about the GHash multipool, have you taken out the coins that constantly orphan?

And last one, have you considered getting nicehash as the first pool and when price is lower dan actual payout at other pools switch over to backup pools? Nicehash has usually a higher payout than straight mining multipools so it's an easy way to get 20-30% higher payouts. Even if you do a payoutround every three weeks to get to a minimum payoutlevel it's way more profitable.
