All the pools basically employee a similar system of counting your work. All the pools more or less have the see fees.
You can use CGMiner and have it submit work to multiple pools (load balance) and that would lower the influence of variance. This might be painful if you have a low hashrate though since it might take a while to be able to reach the minimum cashout.

Fuck. There was ~2.5 btc on it. Is there any easy way of doing a recovery instead of pulling out hard drives? I'll gift anyone $100 btc if they can help me.
Well, if the machine is in use right now - STOP all drive access as much as possible so the old wallet doesn't get written over. use another machine until you try to recover it. There are a few trustworthy people who might be able to walk you through this remotely or maybe somebody local. Post in the services section asking for help and offer 0.15BTC bounty. |

There are several alternative wallets, some that piggyback on the BitcoinQT. Check the alternative clients section. Personally I have found armory to be very nice since it's documented for idiots (like myself) and it goes through step by step on how to do everything.
The paper wallet options they have the the built in check system to reconstruct wallets helps me sleep better at night.

Depending on how many coins were in the wallet you should do the following (assuming it was worth more than $100). Shut off the machine in use. Pull out the drive (or have somebody else who knows how remove it and do the following). Hook it up to another PC check the appdata/roaming/bitcoin directory to see if a wallet.dat exists and back it up (guessing this is the new wallet if you had reinstalled) Use a file recovery program to see if you can un-erase the file wallet.dat If you have a backup of the wallet.dat file on a USB drive you could recover it that way but it doesn't sound like you had one  |

Most of the people with significant balances (100BTC +) probably have the bulk of their coins offline unless they're trading... in which case the exchange is the point of weakness.
The warning not posting you balances/addresses should be for people who haven't taken security steps yet.

I don't know but I must have done something right as my children will drop everything and come help me if I need it. My oldest son does the majority of hard work around my place now as I can't do a lot.I consider myself to be a lucky man.
Child labor, and bragging about it! How unconscionable! You must have them so scared they tremble when you ring the bell. j/k - I work my ass of for my kids and save everything for them, hopefully I treat them right and they'll return the favor when I'm too nutty to know any better. |

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I choose Girl. If I went the other way, well I could potential be going the other way once the question is clarified if you know what I mean.

Fluoride is not akin to what lead was in Rome. Risk vs Benefit. Even oxygen is dangerous to humans - you going to shut down aerobic metabolism now and stop breathing?
Poor oral health from cavities will lead to septic emboli running through your bloodstream - you'll have strokes starting from age 30.
That doesn't fit in with modern methods though, usually situations like that are treated as an opportunity for growth, cavities are a boost to the dental industry. Wow, you're dark. Do you happen to work for the government by any chance? |

I wish Bitcoin would get accepted as payment by one major retailer/merchant and have the merchant do it's purchasing of inventory through Bitcoin. Right now they instantly convert off all their coins.

Well, you recently lost 25% of what you earn because of the last difficulty change. You're also losing because BTCGuild's luck has been sub-par lately. If you do decide to switch pools, DO NOT use GHASH.IO
He can probably use whatever pool he wants Actually the mandates passed by the Imperial Governor Josh Zerlan in behavior code 16-2-143 clearly state that he cannot use GHash.IO because a new moon has not appeared in the first 3 nights of July. Seriously, please read up the GHash.IO thread, at least the last 10 pages. |

Trust me, their efficiency is not the issue this time (that was the 2013 failed promise). The issue currently is their boards are pulling too much power and burning out. Apparently their engineers at the zoo are busy throwing poo.
BFL advertised a 600GH/s device. Unlike their last go around they can't just give you smaller units like they did with the minirig. Most people only have 1 PCIe slot per machine that could handle that much heat. So they are forced to try to cram 600GH/s onto a PCIe card. It is doable if done by professional. But BFL would have to find some professionals since they can't even handle their own PR mascot correctly.
Assuming it draws 1W/Ghash, there is no way they are going to be able to cool in in the PCI-E form-factor without liquid cooling. They may have 600Ghash/second boards that can't be run in open-air cases  They likely did not think these kind of details all the way through when they were in the development stage and were taking money for preorders. The problem lies in that their "engineers" have enough training to be able to do some basic design but not enough common sense to work on a project. They had the same problem for 65nm where they estimated and advertised 1Watt/GH/s and then they came out with 4-5Watt/GH/s. The SC Single was supposed to be the 60 watt coffee warmer and the Jalapenos were supposed to be USB drives. The end result was almost 1/2 a magnitude off. It's a vicious cycle of incompetence at the top (management) feeding incompetence at the base (production and design). |

couldn't find the "Picture of your mining farm" thread so i guess this will do. phase 1  That's never gonna work with those AC units lol That could very easily work - depends on the ambient. If it's in a polar region there's no need for AC - just vent the top off and use good filtration. Problem is we can't what's off the picture, perhaps they have evap coolers. |

It isn't and every one of you posting this is wrong.
I have bought batch one S3's
I will profit with them
If you can't I don't really know what to say.
S1 owners like phillip (see above) took a chance and got lucky due to KNC, BFL, BA and others delivering late. I have free electricity and I was still skeptical about ROI. Considering all that late stuff is now delivering, I'll make a 1BTC bet with you that your S3 won't ROI it's BTC costs. With the 25% jump this last period it's going to get nasty pretty quick. Last difficulty increase was an overshoot. Manufacturers producing new hardware that was added to the network. All those miners are getting ready to ship out now. The miners will stay in transit or about 5- 7days so hashrate will sort of drop from that. When that hashrate is sold, it only changes hands and the network difficulty is unaffected. We are currently at a 0% increase for this cycle and there will be many more less than 10% increases coming soon. Anyone who tries to predict difficulty outside of 3 months is always way off. If you used one of those mining calculators earlier this year it would have said we should be over 100 billion difficulty by now. Do I really need to screenshot one of these predictions so we can come back to it later? Agreed that projections beyond 3 months are meaningless. Because nobody knows the true pipeline and capabilities of the whole ASIC scene. If people are ordering stuff more than 3 months ahead of time they are brave. S3 and Neptune owners are being given a gift right now. It looks right now like there will be minimal increase. Then again BTCG, Bitminter and GHash have all had below average luck for the last few days. I don't know about DF. The thing I wonder is when those AM chips start getting put into use. 1.5 years ago I predicted that the difficulty would not pass 1 billion. Obviously I did not see BTC going to $1200 and didn't think people would preorder so much that they would lose money. I thought everybody buying miners would be able to work a calculator. How people still manage to place orders with BFL is mindblowing. So I was way off. People will do things that I cannot understand. So now, given people's current fervor and the recent rise in the price, I can see more orders being placed. People have just thrown caution to the wind. |

@DrG, KNC was just on time actually (Q1 or Q2).
Shipping 5 days before the end of Q2 is not really what most Neptune users were expecting. They were expecting KNC's own farm to exceed 5%. When they said Q1/Q2, most were thinking March, April, possibly May if bad, June worst case scenario. It appears also that they didn't complete out their Batch 1 deliveries as promised. |

I am just selling my current stuff.
I'm probably going to either buy a new s3 or something to put in my office (although I pay the electric there so... lol) or wherever I can, because not having a miner running is just depressing lol.
See that's where those obsolete block erupters come in. They can be had for free or near free and still can spit out stats on CGMiner. Set difficulty low and CGMiner will have shares flipping by, just don't pay attention to your pool balance and instead enjoy the double digit electric bills (rather than 4 digit). |

This is "World News".
Yet, we don't hear a peep about it when US/Israel funded terrorists like Al Qaeda and ISIL torture, rape, and murder innocent teenagers every day of the week, for decades.
This is how sick and twisted the U.S. media has become. Anyone who consumes that media should be ashamed.
Charlie, have you ever once posted a single post without mentioning the US? I think somebody's got a crush.... |

Maybe Obama needs to fly down there and give Maduro a little kiss on the lips (I hear it helps sell sweaters).
Ever since they nationalized the grid the quality of life has gone down over there. Coffee costs more per gallon than gasoline. What good is having cheap power if you can't find enough food to live.

What I say is that these workers will be singing a different tune down the road when they discover REAL thuggery in the form of corporate abuse of workers and an inability for them to get fair salaries and working conditions even though they have distinct skills. The pendulum has swung too far back. Unions were created because American industrialists treated workers like shit, and they banded together. Eventually, the Unions became the same kind of monster they started out to fight - full of corruption and greed, and there was a backlash. Now we're starting to swing back toward the conditions that existed when they got started. Unions will be back. Unions will be back. Bet on it.
Unions haven't left... how can they be back? They are still the single largest contributor to the Democratic ticket. With money comes power...Trumka is more powerful than most Congressional reps. He goes to the White House every 3 days on average, almost as much as Beyonce!  |

Well everybody is entitled to run. Doesn't mean that they should run. This country is both a democracy and a republic. You get elected by the majority vote (supposedly) but represent your constituents when you meet with Congress. if you're fringe you will be, by definition, incapable of representing your constituents.
