[150TH] [PPLNS 0.5%] Jonny's Mining Emporium (bravo-mining.com)

Lets get this block. Going to add 5 Th rental for just over a day. I know it not that much but you never know.
That is all the Bitcoin i got till we hit a block.

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:

1500000000000000 / 2^32 = 349245.97

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

Code:

349245.97 * 10.27 * 3600 = 12912322002.84

Great!  You know you should have gotten about 12.9 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

How did we come up with 9.1b shares earlier?

You know... It helps if I actually math properly... I changed from 1PH to 1.5PH in my calculations.  Let me go ahead and fix that up... And edit the post appropriately.

Post edited to have the proper numbers.

[jonnybravo0311]

Well,

Unfortunately my rental didn't crack block number 4.  However, the promotion is still going!  We are close to 100%, so if you want that full 1BTC bonus, you'll need to find the block before we cross the 110% mark.

There are currently 131 users registered on the pool, so we are definitely growing and more people are signing up every day.  Spread the word and get people off the big, bad-for-bitcoin pools and supporting the pools who actually care about the health of bitcoin and the miners that support it.

Newbie question:
Just ensuring myself - to set up standalone miner properly (SP20) I shall enter [stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333] or whole [stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333] address?

[jonnybravo0311]

Hi LASERminer,

I don't personally own an SP20.  However, I did own an SP10 a couple years ago.  If memory serves me correctly, when entering the URL in the Pools tab of the miner UI, you put

Code:

stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333

[jonnybravo0311]

Some of you might have noticed a failover.  I did a very quick restart of the stratum servers to enable port 3999.  This is a static diff port with a difficulty set to 999.

If you use an S2 or similar device, please point your miner to:

Code:

stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3999

Hopefully this will help your miners with the abnormally high reject rates.

[jonnybravo0311]

To the user trying to connect as "avalon6", you aren't doing it properly.  You need to create an account, then create a worker called avalon6 with some password.  Let's say you create an account name of BravoMiner and a worker of avalon6 with a password of x.  To connect to the pool, you would configure your miner as follows:

URL - stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333
Worker - BravoMiner.avalon6
Password - x

Thanks!

[LASERminer]

Thx jonnybravo0311 address corrected although it was working with short one as well.
Nice to instantly pop-up on pool stats

Nice to instantly pop-up on pool stats

I know right?  It's fun to point one miner here and be in the top 10 hashers!   

Now let's just hope this 50TH hits a block!  My S5 really wants to generate a payout for me.

[jonnybravo0311]

LOL... I'd be quite content if my 20TH didn't even show up in the top 100 miners

As you should be at that point

I have a question that I do not see an answer to on the website or first posts of this thread, how is payout handled when the pool finds a block?  Is it sent out automatically, or do we have to manually request a payment?  Thanks, just planning ahead for block #4. 

[jonnybravo0311]

When a block is found the payout cron calculates everybody's share and applies it to your balance.  If you have setup automatic payments, then if your balance is above the threshold, your balance will be sent to you when the block confirms.  If you haven't setup auto payouts, then you have to do a manual payout.  When you request the manual payment, the pool will create the transaction and send you the amount you requested.

Perfect, thanks.  It appears that the same 0.0001 fee is added for either manual or autopayment, correct?  I guess I'm not seeing the benefit to manual payment and will set up auto.

[jonnybravo0311]

Yes it is the same fee regardless of which payment option you choose.  I have automatic payout set for myself.

[traxor]

Has the "auto calculate" been fixed?

Or, doesn't it work properly until the 5N can be calculated?

Just curious -- thanks!!!

[jonnybravo0311]

Yes, I have addressed the share calculations.  When we find a block, payouts will be calculated based on 5N.

[Mikestang]

Cold weather moving through, I turned my S5 around to intake from outside and overclocked it - currently running at #5 spot on the leader board. 

[jonnybravo0311]

We just crossed 100%.  You've got to solve the block before the pool crosses 110% to get the 1BTC finder's bonus.  So, get your rentals on and crack block number 4!
