Speaking of increasing base hash rate... I have just purchased 3 more Avalon 6 to point here.

[jonnybravo0311]

The new Avalons are up and running.  20TH of my own hardware... If only I had this much power a couple years ago... Lol

nice good luck.

[jonnybravo0311]

Thanks.  I've been watching your solar project thread... looks like a lot of fun (and some good old fashioned work, too)!

yeah waiting to get it up maybe 10 more days and we will have 5 or 6 avalon6's running.

I started back in the summer of 2012. 

bitminter had 1 th

i had 10gh 

network had 21th


what kills me was I really started back in May of 2011 but did not understand it so I put it off.


If I had started in july 2011 and found bitminter when it was new i would have made some good money  from 2011 to 2012

I started with crypto around November of 2013... had heard about it previously but never really got into it, unfortunately.  Around that time Bitcoin was starting to hit the news because of how fast it was gaining value.  I started with alt coins (LTC and DOGE) because I didn't have any dedicated hardware to mine BTC and could still mine the LTC/DOGE with my GPU.  Finally around March of 2014 I started buying BTC mining hardware.  5 U2 sticks and then shortly afterwards a couple S1s.  Hit my first block on p2pool a couple weeks after I fired up my S1s.  From there, I bought an S2 and an SP10.  Then I sold all of that and picked up S3s, which I ran until a few weeks ago... two of which are actually still hashing, the other 6 are sitting by doing nothing.  Now I've got 5 A6s, 2 S3s and 1 S5.

By the way, if anyone is interested in the S3s let me know.

While not exactly overwhelming, the difficulty adjustment will certainly be negative this time.  It also means the prices for rentals will go up correspondingly.  So, get your rentals and crack this block for the bonus!

Oh.. and if we were to hit a block right now?  Nearly 0.9BTC in fees would be paid out to the miners.

Yeah we got that

But the reason for my post is that that block was a 1hr network block!

Certainly helps to push down the diff change in about 6 blocks from now.

Nice getting those big fat blocks.  And that 1 hour block certainly helps push that diff down, even if it is a pretty minimal effect at this point .  Of course, we'll take what we can get after the run of increases we've had!

Turned on the S7. Going to run it all weekend.

[Mikestang]

That's really cool, do you host them or have your own space for them?  I just got my first S5 and that's a big deal to me, to see 1.15TH in my monitor.  

So I just solo mine with the S5 but I think I'm going to point it here for fun, it would see a "significant" payout when this pool hits a block vs. what it would see in larger pools.  Plus it would be much better odds than solo.  I'm shutting it down tonight to install 3D printed ducts, when it comes back it will be mining here for a while, at least for a block hopefully.  

Question: what does the "Monitor" slider on/off do?

[philipma1957]

Same Question: what does the "Monitor" slider on/off do?


and I am pointing 4 avalon6's here today and Sunday.

[jonnybravo0311]

The monitor, if turned on, will send you an email if that worker is idle.  Here is what the email looks like:

One of your workers is currently IDLE: Username.Worker

We have not received any shares for this worker in the past 10 minutes.

Since monitoring is enabled for this worker, this notification was sent.


Please check your workers!

Good luck guys!

Just a PSA...

NH/WH appears to be suffering from some pretty major problems at the moment.  Orders are claiming they are active and working, yet are not submitting any shares at the pool to which they are pointed.  NH/WH is still deducting coin as if the order is fine.  You cannot cancel, or modify your order in any way to prevent this.

Please do not rent from NH/WH until further notice.

[jonnybravo0311]

PSA: It appears the problems with NH have been resolved and all orders are currently properly hashing again.  No word yet from them regarding any kind of compensation for the ~3 hours of lost hashing for which people were still being charged.

look here closely tell me if I am correct. at  least in my case I think I am

[jonnybravo0311]

Yeah Phil, it looks like you're correct.  I worked with krisgt30 to prove that he actually got the shares he should have for the rental he had.

Looking at your screenshots you cancel a ton of orders... I'm assuming NH must refund you back the prorated 3% fee you paid when you created the order, or you're losing coin.

I get back the 3% 

you do lose .0001 for a cancel which is worth it sometimes


I cancel for  a lot of reasons.

price changes when big make it worth it.

also mmpool.org  and peercoin.ecoining   get into bizarre reject mod  you lose 30-50 % of hash so I cancel the order when that starts to happen

[jonnybravo0311]

For those of you who rent hash from NH/WH and are curious to know if you've gotten what you paid for, here's how you can figure it out.  I make the assumption here that you do not change the price you're paying during the course of the order.  If you do, well, you'll just have to run the calculations a few times

Step 1 - Determine how long your order should actually last.

This one is pretty easy.  Take your total rented hash power and multiply that times the price you paid to see how much it would cost you for 24 hours.  Don't forget to subtract the 3% fee NH charges!  Example, you rented 1PH at 0.0034 per TH and paid 1.5BTC:

Code:

1000 * 0.0034 = 3.4 BTC for 24 hours
1.5 - (1.5 * 0.03) = 1.455 BTC applied to order
(1.455 / 3.4) * 24 = 10.27 hours

This means that your coin bought you 10.27 hours of 1PH power.

Step 2 - Determine how many shares you should get

To do this, you need to figure out how many diff 1 shares your mining power would expect to earn in the time calculated from step 1.  First, let's figure out how many diff 1 shares per second you expect (I'm using a simplified formula here, but it's accurate enough for this calculation):

Code:

1000000000000000 / 2^32 = 232830.6436538696

Ok, now you just multiply your expected shares per second by the total time:

Code:

232,830.6436538696 * 10.27 * 3600 = 8,608,214,557.170868

Great!  You know you should have gotten about 8.6 billion shares for your rental

Step 3 - Compare to what the pool shows you got

This is pretty easy since virtually every pool provides you with share information.  On my pool, for example, you would have to record how many shares you had at the start of your rental and compare it to the shares you had at the end.  On kano's, just look at your worker stats and start adding things up for the shifts.

That's it!  If the pool shares are similar to what you calculated, congrats, NH/WH didn't screw you over
