I have over 60 ftc in there.. emailed admin and went back and forth trying to get my money out.. my problem is it will not let me add my wallet address in there so i can't pay out.. 10 emails back and forth (very quick response time) with the admin and as soon as i requested for him to send the coins out and i verified everything on my account for proof, he didn't reply.. no change.. so i will be leaving until 2 things get resolved

-add stratum
-fix payout/wallet issues

until then, i cannot, and will not recommend this pool..

really buggy right now.. as you can see the time between my previous post is about 20 minutes..and between that time i created a new account.. put in my wallet address, locked it.. starting mining again, come back and the wallet field is now blank and i cannot add my wallet.. too buggy for me. moving elsewhere.

Same here..i did not have my wallet locked.. so curious.. did anyone who had their wallet locked see it changed? or was it only unlocked payment address'?

I agree that the ASIC devices are going to be rolling out slow, i just wanted to have an idea as once ALL get rolled out (at least all that are available to order right now) what would the difficulty be, i've seen so many people guessing estimates at like 400 million etc.. and i dont see how that's logical unless there is some crazy hidden asic company that somehow is hiding right now.

I know there are quite a few of these out here, but here is my own version.

This spreadsheet will give you the projected difficulty of Bitcoin by you inputting the Network Hashrate... I know there has been a huge search of "What will difficulty be when..."

So I created this as kind of a ruler:

To think of what the Network Hash rate will be when all ASIC's come out just crunch some basic numbers:

Avalon is shipping about 1500 units in batches 1 thru 3 .. each unit is roughly 70 gigahash .. so 70 * 1500 = 105,000 Gigahash or 105 Terrahash
BFL has 75,000 chips, each supposed to produce 7.5 Ghash so 75000 * 7.5 = 562,500 gigahash or 562.5 Terrahash
Lets just assume there will be some gpu miners staying around so lets just estimate another 80 terrahash on top of those two to account for ASICMiner and gpu and misc..

So you're looking at after bfl sells out of all their current ordered chips, all avalons are online, and all gpus stay up, you're at a total of 747.5 terrahash would be the network hash rate..

Obviously there are quite a few variables that im not accounting for and this is just a rough estimate. But with my chart you can see that at that network hash rate you're looking at the difficulty level of about 98 million ish...

So anyway, here is the link:  (you can edit what you want, but please only change the yellow cells... dont eff up the spreadsheet and make me re-upload it)

BTW - I just threw a new sheet up so you can view the same setup with Litecoin as well...  that way you can try to guess what difficulty will be once the ASIC's take over BTC and all the gpu miners move to LTC

Please let me knwo if there are any errors, or if you think you can improve this

I was thinking about possibly selling stuff on there, nothing looked good to buy, prices were too high and doesnt seem like it gets a lot of traffic.

CGminer and Reaper are the ones that i use, CGminer is an easier setup

thx

5830's are going to be the best if you can find them, i bought 2 about a year ago and they do about 280Mhash each.. so best cheap card.. but they're so rare now.

New here but not to mining.. been doing this about 1.5 years off and on.. and finally gettin back in hard.
