I got in on that group buy, too, the price for a new Avalon6 was outstanding and I couldn't pass it up. He's sending the coins very soon, so I think it's too late to get in on this one.
More hash for me, need MOAR!

Good luck! May the block gods be with us and bless us with at least one, but hopefully more blocks |

I have never rented hash before and just spent all my coins on the new Avalon6, but I think I could get into renting (gambling essentially). I'll have to let my wallet recoup and then give it a shot.
Seems NH/WH is the most popular, followed by MMR. Do most folk at this pool use NH/WH?

Yeah... I typically go with NH/WH simply because their prices are usually better. I like MRR because you can specify multiple pools to fall back on should your primary go down, and you also get a more precise control over the actual time you're hashing. When you rent a rig for 12 hours, you get it for 12 hours.

I also like MRR because looking at the different available "rigs" you can determine if theyre S1s/S3s/S5s/S7s/etc generally. So you can make sure you only rent a pile of S7s/A6s if you want (at least best guess) where with NH/WH you get what you get. But I usually stick to NH/WH because they're cheaper as Jonny said. |

I like to think of the MRR interface as the advanced version of rental sites. With NH/WH, you just say, "I want X hash power and I'm willing to pay Y for it". They figure out all the details behind the scenes. Of course, there's really no true cap on their rentals. Sure, you can tell them you want 500TH... but you're just as likely to see that go to 800TH as you are to see it at 500. With MRR, you pick exactly the gear you want to rent. Sometimes the rig owners tell you what gear it is... for example, "10 S7s". Sometimes they just say, "Really big rig!". However, it is completely up to you to pick out the gear you want and you pay what the owner asks for a predetermined length of time.
MRR definitely offers you more control over your rental, too. You can have backup pools configured. You can swap pools at will during a rental. You can get in touch with the rig owner if you want.
So, if you like the finer details and don't mind paying the usually higher prices, MRR is for you. If you just don't care about the details and just want to get some hash, NH/WH works just fine.
Full disclosure: every rental I have done for this pool has been NH/WH.

I just ordered 100th from nicehash for 2 hours I have never used MRR as price rules whenever I rent I also like spending 0.025 btc and seeing me on top of the pool as highest hashrate.  Even if it is only for 2 hours or so. |

How do you get in on those group buys???
Also -- how hard is it to buy and setup a controller???
Thanks...
The avalon6 comes with a pre programmed rasp pi. I missed your pm and the order was put in. I apologize for that. Sometimes the pm traffic gets nuts I get sixty or more in a day. Then the pm pages roll over and you can miss a new one since it is not on the top page. I have had well over six thousand pms in and out combined since May of 2013 |

Thanks for the response -- and yeah, I figured that I was too late based on a couple of other members feedback... WHERE ARE the group buys posted here? Is it in the equipment for sale forum? Because I've never seen one... Also -- I cannot IMAGINE trying to deal with 60 PM's per day -- lol... |
