Phil hit the nail on the head. I've been trying to recruit new miners to the pool. I've offered a number of promotions - one of which is still ongoing - to try and get people here permanently. Unfortunately, after nearly a year and a half, we're still struggling to find and maintain a healthy base hash rate. I sold off the vast majority of my own personal gear and haven't had the motivation to buy anything new again. I looked at the new Avalon gear, and had some potential deals going with them, but everything fell through. I refuse to buy Bitmain gear, so I'm kind of in limbo on new hardware.
So, it could be quite some time until we hit our next block. Or, it could happen today. The chances are far better if we've got more miners hashing... so find some folks and bring them here. Everyone wins that way.
EDIT: by the way, I'll be updating the pool's coin daemons to 0.14. I will post here when the process is complete (probably end up getting to it tomorrow).
yeah it is hard right now as nicehash is charge top dollar to rent. .5766 and .5765 are current prices they are way higher then .5457 x .969 = 0.5287833 true break even number so renting at .5765 is paying a 10 percent premium. so the block would need to be 14.00 x .995 = 13.93 so if I toss a .1 rental I would hope we get a 14.00 block. so I just tossed a .03 rental at .577 my chances are about .0295 in 12.5 or about 1 in 425  |

After the update, the block was found at 42% BCMonster |

BCMonster finding a block has to do with them getting an influx in hash, not with them updating to 0.14  . Speaking of updating... all coin daemons on my pool have been updated to 0.14. I'm also upping the block finder bonus... for a limited time. If you find a block between now and the end of the day Sunday (3/19/2017 23:59:59 EDT), you will receive 1.5 BTC bonus. Good luck everyone! EDIT: To avoid any quantum entanglements or time paradoxes... the contest end date has been updated |

Good luck everyone! I am unable to travel back in time to participate in the promotion you just posted.  Having stated that -- the thing that frustrates me the MOST is that this pool has never taken off. EVEN if we only hit 1 block a week month -- it would be doable. The pool experience here was way more fun than anywhere I've ever mined. The contests here are the COOLEST and MOST FUN of anywhere. If you decide to change your contest parameters to dates in the future -- I'll be happy to participate! And, more importantly, if we can get some other people to mine here -- I would love for this pool to be my permanent home. |

Re: [150TH] [PPLNS 0.5%] Jonny's Mining Emporium (bravo-mining.com) February 12, 2017, 21:03:42 Reply with quote #1622 Well... the group promising to put at least 1.5PH on the pool has fallen off the face of the earth. Apparently they realized buying, housing and managing that much hardware was a bit more of a commitment than they planned to give. Don't forget folks, that 1BTC block finder's bonus is still available! No complex rules, or hoops you need to jump through to qualify. Point some hash to the pool. Find a block. Get the bonus coin. He increased it until Sunday, I understood
See if it can edit the message

Hey jonny, First, bravo to you for running one of the few pools that does it right. As soon as my two droids make it to the cryptoboreas btc mines on Hoth, I'll tell my house droid R4B2 to start working in your mine. I like your style, and want to see your pool grow. So I challenge all you miners out there with more than 30THs - that's all I'm running atm - and if I can point one of my miners, I mean droids, at jonny's pool than so can YOU. Signing up now, and will send you hash (love saying that...  ) as soon as the transport arrives at Hoth base. We will increase the peeps! Mine on! |
I don't believe in superstition because it's bad luck: 13thF1oor6CAwyzyxXPNnRvu3nhhYeqZdc
These aren't the Droids you're looking for: S5 & S7 (Sold), R4B2, R4B4 (RIP), 2x S9 obsolete, 2xS15-28, S17-56, S17-70
Pushing a whopping 1/5 PH! Oh The SPEED!!!

I'm pointing the luckiest one of my S7's this way. Looking forward to pointing everything this way as soon as the base hash hits at least 4 or 5PH. If everyone participates in your challenge, it shouldn't be long. |

Good luck guys, and I look forward to seeing more miners here on a regular basis!
In other news, I've finally updated the Wiki to include the pool. I probably should have done this quite some time ago, but truth be told, I completely forgot about it until I was recently reminded in another thread that I should. Oops. Anyway, it's taken care of now.
Finally, the block finder's bonus promotion is still ongoing. Until the end of the weekend, if you find a block you'll get 1.5BTC from me.
