We reached 100 000 registered users. Not too shabby Smiley

I know it's probably not a priority, but are you working on some marketing to get the pool growing ?

I am working on things to grow the pool further.

 good and as a point of price drops am is selling blades at a good price.

 if you are in the usa canaryinthemine will sell a blade for 5 coins. I grabbed 3 blades today.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=282785.0  

 if you are flush with  coins am will sell 20 blades for 78 coins

direct purchase

paid for 2 and sent a shipping label for a medium flat rate box. i want to be sure if i send 5btc for a third will it fit in the medium flat rate.  this would be the third blade for the same box.


found info that 3 fit in the same box so here is the 5btc for a third blade

Hey everyone, I am a little new here. Where can I buy ASICMiner shares?


https://btct.co/  


they have pt pass through  not exactly a real share


I have these

https://btct.co/security/TAT.ASICMINER

they sell these also

https://btct.co/security/ASICMINER-PT

one is 1/100 of the other.  these are like a clone of a real share. maybe someone can fully explain

Wow, almost 10TH delivered so far? That is amazing

10th = 2% of the network speed those little usb sticks sure add up and thats not including all the other distributors including europe & asia
the best thing that can happen for bitcoin is to have 7 billion of USB stick miners out there instead of concentrated hashing locations that are 25%+ of the network...
all these new companies are chasing the wrong crowd with complex equipment...



 yeah   if we had about 20 pools with  4% each and a few million miners with 10-20 sticks or 1 or 2 blades it would be better then  2 or 3   100th places like cloudhashing.


The big group  big pool is very tempting to attack.    3 pools with  50% of the hash beg for ddos attacks

 http://blockchain.info/pools

 right now btc guild 50 btc and deepbit add up to 50%

  a well planned ddos with 200 blocks before adjustment  is very tempting. take out the 3 mentioned pools 12 hours before adjustment and the rest of the miners  have easy pickings.  Having 20 pools at the 3-5 % level would truly end this incentive.

BLADES for 3.5 BTC Smiley

KNC/BITFURY killed Wink



no that price is not correct  the correct price is 5 btc for under 20 blades and 3.9 btc for 20 to 99 blades.  


 the 3.5 price is for older repeat customers.  I just purchased 2 blades for 10 btc about (1118 usd) as I do not have enough coin to buy 20 at 3.9 btc each.

 What this does for me is allows me to sell off 40 usb  sticks at  a low price on ebay. Say 40 bucks each or about 1600 usd - 200 in fees or 1400 in my pocket.

 thus effectively trading 13.2 gh for 21 gh and 1400 -1180 = 120.00 usd in my pocket.  AM rules!!

I forgot to add that firstimeuser has electricity costs of only $20 a month!

This was from a message he sent me. Please be patient with him, as English is his second language. Do give him a pat on the back, however, as he knows 4 different languages! I'm sorry this got buried but I'm publishing this now, as this is also a possible option if we opt for personal hosting:

"Hi DZ

Electricity cost me $20/month ALL INCLUDED
I can host and watch(24/7) the Baby Jet for low fee 0.5%
My job is 2(two) min away, next block. I can always leave the job for an hour at any time.

He lives on Staten Island. Phillip, would you be willing to arrange a meet up somewhere highly visible and public? I know if we opted for personal hosting I'd feel more comfortable knowing a backup was in the same city borough.


  yeah we could meet on route 9 south  a big walmart just south of  the raritan river bridge


Store Details
Walmart

 I could bring a canon camera take  a photo his driver license and my driver license.
and of course photo the both of us. and then send the info to John K.   Not quite sure how to do a better vetting then that.   I guess I could make a 2 minute movie of the two of us talking btc  hashing and standing next to  our cars.

Hmm, yesterday I saw other numbers at blockchain.info.. weird.. Anyways, 4% of the network hashrate is a pretty decent amount I guess.

All in all, the most important thing for us is continuity followed by lowest pool fees. Seeing above comments, I think it might be a good idea to run multiple pools straight from the start so we have something to compare. From there we can figure out the best way to work. Luckily the miners should run with cgminer so that gives us a nice option for statistics and comparisons.

Also one thing to consider is the payout speed. 50btc pays out once a week I think, not sure how other pools do that. I'll look into it later today and post how we'll start.

set up your own p2pool, please?
if one thing is amiss, it's one professionally run p2pool for stratum miners.
Are u in favour of a (private) p2pool or against?

Cheers,

I would like bitminter and eligus   50- 50  with 2 different backups.  Run for a week check totals.   Run for a second week check totals.  

 I like the idea of bitminter since I hash 100% with them for about 13 months. I like the Idea of Eligus since it works with canaryinthemine a seller of about 20,000 Asic Miner sticks.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=277332.0 his latest sale.  

both bitminter and canary have shown a good track record for honest dealings and in the world of btc that is not common as it should be. I also like the idea of helping second tier pools.

If  the top 10  pools had 6-8% each.  For a total of 60 to 80 %  and The other 20-40% with smaller holders ; DDOS attacks and the like would lessen since you would need to attack 6 or 7 pools to help your wallet it  would be hard to do.


  I have an interest in both bitminter and eligus.  I mine in bitminter and I buy asic sticks from canaryinthemine. (he suppies sticks to eligus)

here is the canary's trust page

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=18614


this is bitminter's page my name shows up on it a lot. I used to be in the top 50 mining list but since I only have 40gh in hash power I am about 90 on the bitminter list of miners.

 am should go to  www.bitminer.com .

 now that am has finally started selling usb sticks at a decent price . I have decide to buy back some stock.   A lot of people are afraid of knc and the fact that bfl has built and shipped a lot of hashpower


Agreed with www.bitminer.com, stable and fair pool!

What is the "decent price" now? I can't see any of price information in the latest friedcat's post.
What minimal order and where can I buy it now by "decent price" ?



 a decent price is .33 btc a stick while some would argue that is not low enough  it is good enough to buy some for mining and some to sell on ebay.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=277332.0   

  I buy 20 sticks for 6.6 btc .

 I buy a label from the post office for 7.40 usd. I email the label to the seller.

 I get 20 sticks in about 2-3 days.  this works for me and a lot of other sellers on ebay.

J dave we have spots in the usa with 12 cents a k watt even less . while I could run the gear.

 there has to be some one with a better power price then I have.

 also if I see the gear on the site correctly each unit is like a mid size  pc tower.    since the usa is going into the fall season most any home can run 1 or 2 of these and cooling is not a problem.  Oct to april the north east and or any northern state and the heat the unit give off is free heating for a home.    But to be frank my wife is tired enough of me running all the gpus . Now sold off letting me buy the AM usb sticks and take a flyer or two with a group buy like this.

you're not bugging Smiley

blockchain.info is mighty inaccurate at that point it seems..

According to
http://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=4days

Eligius found 5 blocks in 4 days.. While they themselves report 31 blocks:
http://eligius.st/~gateway/stats/recent-blocks

That would put them at the same spot as 50btc.

Both 50btc and btcguild don't show the blocks they've found so I'm unable to verify the blockchain.info results on that.

Deepbit, the second pool according to blockchain only has 1.5TH according to their own site..

I'll try to do some more research, but it appears that the blockchain numbers are way of Sad

 www.bitminter.com   is  a decent pool they pay nmc the fees are low.   I have studied pools quite a bit  I would suggest  2 pools half the hash in each pool.  then use 2 different pools to back up the 2 main pools.

My reasoning is there is a flaw with pools  and a large solo miner or a large miner in a pool  can aid his/her  cause with a well placed ddos attack.  

 pool a 30%

  pool b 25%    

 the villain 1%

the rest of the hash 44 %     .


diff is at  62 mill  scheduled to go to 80 mill   100 blocks left.     the villain ddos pool a and pool b      the last 100 blocks  are sucked up by the villain and the other 44% of the hashers.  

 If you notice every time we get near the end of the blocks hash rate drops.

 the best way to combat this is 2 primary pools with 2 different backup pools   so if the villain takes out 2 pools we still have some hash power running. it is hard to ddos 4 pools.  so to me if we half to bitminter backup with btc guild and half with eligus  backed up by 50btc.  we should be okay.  

 rather then all to eligus backed up by  50btc.

 first setup we have half our hash working in a massive ddos attack. second setup if the ddos attecked both our primary and our backup we are dead 0 hash.

I Have seen this happen  close to every diff adjustment.

POOL MINE AGAIN

when Asicminer was 25-30% of the network, it made sense to hop off and solo mine, but now it doesn't

cheers
true.

 am should go to  www.bitminter.com   <<...>>> sorry missed a key

 now that am has finally started selling usb sticks at a decent price . I have decide to buy back some stock.   A lot of people are afraid of knc and the fact that bfl has built and shipped a lot of hashpower .  Also many people are concerned about the 120-150th that is unknown.

 Some say bfl is holding back on a lot of mini rigs some say avalon is doing lots of off the books hashing and even a few think AM is hiding hash in the unknown section.   All these unknowns have frightened off people causing  AM to drop.  Here is what I see usb sticks sell like mad at a low enough price. I have sold more then 80 of them choosing to make a small profit on each stick no gouging .

the cooked cat ( or is it fried) has said he held back dividends to use to build new gear. I think he has some nice new sticks coming up. Now that AM sees how the sticks will sell  with the right price. They will sell a lot of them.  the people that now have the .336 gh sticks will have hubs they will want to upgrade to a .672gh stick or a 1gh stick.  there is a real gold mine in sticks. One reseller has sold more then 10000 sticks in less then 2 months. I am of the belief that the cat has a better stick just around the corner.

You have a bit of experience IMHO !!
Maybe you know a good secure location in NJ?
The problem I have with a collocation site is that we need security even with one box as maybe we want to expand in the future.
We are actually working with money making machines, that is even if the diff rate is going up x10 its something we have to think about.
Just putting 6k in someones basement is a risk, Hawaii is out until volcano power is feasible, research that DZ!! but in the short term we need an east coast or maybe mid west site to host our first box.
My 2 satoshi's

JD

PS Brazil is out, too complicated with imports. But Venezuela might be something to think about in the future... Cheap power, good internet..




 I could run them in my garage, but and this is the big but,  power is 18 cents a k watt. I ran a 3400 watt gpu farm for about a year and now I am running a 100-130  usb stick asic miner farm about 600 watts rather then 3400 watts.. Not so sure If would want to run it.  Now I just ran this mining calculator and 500 watts at 18 cents is 65 dollars a month.
 


https://bitclockers.com/calc 

  As for security I live in a low crime town my and the wife no kids no smoking no pets. I have a few good quailty ups from eaton I could run the unit for up to 3-5 hours in a blackout. In the cold weather  cooling is not as issue in the heat which is just about to end My garage is attached to my house and does get air-conditioned.

Also I run www.bitminter.com 100% all or nothing 

keeps accounting easy. 

How many different share-holders do we have?

Also even if the usb 3.0 does allow for more power, you are still limited by the hubs power limits. So a higher hashing, more power hungry usb stick would only mean less sticks per hub making the usb sticks even less usefull since extra hardware costs basically just doubled. And what about heat? Tese things get pretty hot as it is. Adding another chip would take it closer to requiring active cooling per stick.

What about the smaller nm asic chips though. Dont they use less power? I doubt it would be enough for usb powered status but maybe


 or lower the volts/tuning and do the 2 chips to hash at 500mhs .

I used to do it with my 22 gpus.  my hd7970's would hash at 500mhs .9 volts  rather then  625-660 mhs 1.1 volts.

 a 1 gpu pc could hash at 500mhs with a 155 watt pull.  crank it to  250 watts it would hash  at 630 mhs.  if you did 2 chips and altered each chips power draw it could work. I would far prefer a setup where a stick hashed at 500 mhs then 336 mhs
