Ah... Now I got it. I thought it was like this before, but then the 500% thing you guys threw at me confuzzled me. All set now. 

This forum needs a 'Thank You' button like my SMF Forum. Highly usable. 

Cash deal, need it ASAP.

Please PM me with info.

Thanks.

 

So, I'm basically getting paid the same amount for a block that takes 225% vs one that takes 37%. Even though I stayed in the 225% one the whole time, while jumped out of the 105% one while messing with my miners.

I am completely misunderstanding this PPLNS , 500% thing.  *Sorry I'm a bit thick at this*. Usually I'm good at math, but this just doesn't jive with me. LOL

What's odd though, is that it still is a higher income than the Mining Earnings calculators I compared against, so I'm not concerned.

Weird

Ok, so now that the block finished with 225% and I stayed in the whole time at or above the normal TH, does that mean the payout should be 225% of the normal @100% lock, right?

I'll take -1.51 to -1.75

I can be hopeful.

You guys are blowing my mind. Why didn't I get into this 2 years ago. :Banghead:

Ahh. I never knew paypal was so stacked against sellers. Crap.

Ohh ok. So it's residual. So if my TH fluctuates it will still stay at the high % but figured with the combined hash for I have put in.

Thank you

Sorry to keep asking these questions, but I'm learning about all of this.  

I hope I'm putting this in the right area, sorry if not.

I see tons of people selling bitcoins (partials) at 2x-3x normal going rates. Why is that?
Or better yet, why would anyone buy those??

Thanks.

I've heard and saw some reports on high error rates at stock speeds, needs to reset multiple times due to dropped connections and the mounting issues due to the top open.

Still thinking of getting one or two to play with though. Or the C1 maybe, but I hate how they made the watercooling an external 'necessity'.

Another question . 

If I have multiple miners working in the pool at different locations and one or some go down, while others stay up, does that reset my increased pay rate like you mentioned, up to 500% on long hashes, or as long as one or more are active, still maintain my level?

Thanks

From what I read, the s5 is having issues and seems quite loud where most people modify or change the fan.
The SP20s can get rather quiet if you get them to sub 700watt and around 1200GH. No mods necessary.

I'm staying this time to see how that works out. Hehe

Cool. Thank you.

Just for testing this I'm using my PC, so GPU.

I got it working though, using MultiMiner instead. Getting a bit under 800Mh/s. but using 200+Watts extra from my PS for the Video Card.

Question before I fire up an S3 for this:

When I mine solo on this pool, and shut the miner on and off , so it's not running 24/7, when it gets turned back on, does it start a new block from scratch, or continue where she left off?

I'm using GUIMiner because it's simple and works with everyone else.
I wasn't aware it was outdated as I only use it for testing and I've only been into mining for a bit over a week.

I'll check out cgminer.

I just tried setting it up on a test system, using GUIMiner.

host : solo6.ckpool.org
Port : 3333
Username : A Wallet address
password : *Blank*

I get the error :

solo6.ckpool.org:3333 08/03/2015 23:43:30, [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed.

Any ideas?

Actually quite more to it than that.

If you went by that remark, then you could buy an Antminer S1 for $20 with 200GH/s. 
Which wouldn't make sense because of the huge power usage, noise and heat they generate. Just for example. 

Glad it's back online.

Sadly not much you can do against DDoS attacks, unless it's just a small-time dbag doing the offense.
If it's a large coordinated attack, they can down anything pretty much.

I get a few of them throughout the year on my Firearms site from anti-gun groups which I can't protect against for a few hours at a time usually.

Have to grin and bear it.
