Outside Philadelphia on the PA side or NJ? I've worked in King of Prussia. Also, the pool is up to around 150TH! Good luck to everyone! Let's pop that block  On the PA side. I grew up in Havertown and then we moved out to Devon in my Middle/High School years. I spent many days being a mall rat at the KoP mall  The KoP mall... been there a few times . I stayed in Conshohocken. There's a great pub called Baggataway I frequented quite a bit. Now I'm spending my work weeks in Jacksonville. I might end up moving down to FL, too. Getting a bit tired of the winters up north... of course, so far this year has been unreal... it's going to be 75 degrees tomorrow. Oh... and I joined the pool party with a couple hundred TH for the next couple days. We're up to about 450TH! |

I got sick of the Winters too & decided I wanted to live near the beach, now it's like I'm on vacation all the time  The pool is rocking, I hope we get lucky soon! |

nicehash.com usually. MRR also is a good choice but I usually find their prices to be higher.
And... I can also vouch for nicehash.
I got lucky the two times I used it at a few different pools and they both went on good luck streaks so the PPLNS worked out in my favor (meaning I earned back what I spent and then some).
Thanks guys!!! It took some additional help from Jonny -- but I was able to get it to work here... In the meantime -- I played around with another pool and had the same luck Btcmke had!!! I'm considering moving my machines over -- but I have a question... It appears that mining-bravo keeps your work record -- like forever (until a block is found/built)... In the current pool I'm mining at -- we only get credit for the last 10 shifts... So, my question is: If I mined here for a week (example purposes) and then went somewhere else -- and then 2 weeks bravo found a block -- would I still get paid for the week that I was here??? I'm not advocating short term participation -- I'm just trying to clarify... Thanks again for your help... |

Any work you put in towards the next block will count towards any rewards received. |

I'm not advocating short term participation -- I'm just trying to clarify... Thanks again for your help... Let's see if I can help clarify things. The pool pays out using PPLNS. That means shares have a shelf life. Currently, it's set to 5N, where N is calculated dynamically based upon the shares of the previous 5 rounds. All things being equal, that translates into about 5 blocks worth of payments per share. In other words, if the pool finds blocks at exactly 100% luck, then your share would be paid 5 times. As with all PPLNS pools, there's the concept of "ramping", where you build up to your theoretical expected payout per share. For the sake of this explanation, let's assume the pool finds one block per day. Also, let's assume you mine for 10 days. Here's how it would break down: Day 1 - 1/5 expected Day 2 - 2/5 expected Day 3 - 3/5 expected Day 4 - 4/5 expected Day 5 - 5/5 expected Day 6 - 5/5 expected Day 7 - 5/5 expected Day 8 - 5/5 expected Day 9 - 5/5 expected Day 10 - 5/5 expected Day 11 - 4/5 expected Day 12 - 3/5 expected Day 13 - 2/5 expected Day 14 - 1/5 expected Day 15 - 0 As you can see, it all adds up. You mine for 10 days, and you get 10 days of expected payouts... they're just spread out over 15 days Good luck with your rental!!! I really want to give that BTC to somebody for Christmas! |

Wow! It certainly appears the promo is drawing some decent sized players to the pool! We're just shy of 1 PH now.
Best of luck to everyone!

Does the pool have a live tracker of some sorts? I want to see it live 0.0 |

You can go to the pool's website and see the current hash rate... I don't have any special monitoring apps or anything written (like ZACHM did for kano's pool).

LOL... somebody just put up an infinite hash rate overpriced order on NH... looks like they'll be consuming all the available hash rate for a while EDIT: and it's gone... that was quick  |

It seems like if I try at .0050 - I get no takers... .0053 for consistent -- and .0051 for inconsistent... |

The couple I've seen go up were for infinite hash at 0.0053. They lasted seconds to a couple minutes max. 0.0051 has been pretty consistent... only getting bumped off when those crazy infinite hash orders come online.

Thanks!!!
Btw -- I think your promotion is BRILLIANT!!!
I've always thought that pools should reward the "finder" 1 of the 25 coins -- then equally distribute the remaining...
I guess this is even better -- it definitely brings the excitement back to mining!!!
Thanks to your help, both of my machines are pointed this way...
I'm still unclear on the work performed -- I'm guessing that your explanation says that if the pool suffers "bad luck" there will be a diminishing return...
