Can someone clarify the ramp up/ramp down again for me? I'm a small miner and have less than 100 gh at the moment. I've been mining here for months and managed to earn $1.06 as of a few days ago (not sure my herp/derp numbers as this was from the computergenie site.

Anyway, I get a problem with my miner and had to take it offline for 48 hours before I could start it again... Only to see my prior work is essentially erased and now I'm sitting at $0.05 in pending payouts.

So my question is if it is even worth my time mining here. I can't guarantee my miners won't have downtime in the months to years it will take to get in the payout pool, and if my prior work gets superceded by the guys with the real hashrates in only a few hours I will never earn a payout.

I don't expect to turn a profit mining, I do it to support the network but if I'll never even get a miniscule payout I might as well join the solo pool and give up here.

Work is not "erased". Your payout simply dropped from not contributing for 48 hours so you'll get paid for all the shares you submitted before that and any you submit after that. There is no such thing as "superseding" someone else's work. It's silly to worry about downtime thinking that somehow you won't get paid for it - of course you won't get paid for the period you're not mining... but it has no effect on the period you are mining for. The ramp up/down is about 2 weeks long. If it's not worth mining here, then it's not worth mining ANYWHERE with such a small hashrate. This pool has the fairest small miner/dust payout management you'll find anywhere.

I would argue that  100gh of gear should solo mine

Your numbers are tiny  the power used is more then the   3 cents a day you would earn.

At 3 cents a day  it will take you more then a year  to get to  10 dollars  which is when you would be paid as I think  we are paying at about the 10 dollar level.

You start getting into the queue for a payout once you've accumulated the dust limit which is only 5640 satoshi or 0.00005640 BTC, so much less than 10 dollars, but on average small miners are postponed about 11 blocks at the moment from when they hit the payout limit.

Yea, somehow I was able to "collect" another stick miner floating around here. Going to make -ck and I rich with 30gh on solo.ckpool.

[faheshang]

LET IT RAIN

[minefarmbuy]

Yea, in about 1,000 years. .. ... lol My goal is to collect all the sticks the company ordered. Rumor has it there are six. I have two. Feels like 'Ready Player One' a little bit (to bad the movie was terrible btw).

Tonight's beer: Terminal Gravity Eagle Cap IPA, "Center of the Universe" and a little home grown dab.

Edit for block rain dance.

2nd edit. Wife gave me vegan cheese made from coconut. Please save yourselves from this abomination.

Philip,

I also have a few 2PACs.

Would it be more wise then to load balance between the solo and multi ck pool to have chances on both?

And as backup as a pool might go down.

Well  the math   shows  they lose money on multi ck pool  unless  your power is free.

the math shows  they are a crazy high longshot on ck solo pool.

I have mine on ck solo

but  my pc has a good cpu and I mine an alt  which helps a bit.

A big pool failover has made the hashrate hit new record highs. Here's hoping we get some blocks while they're here.

Yes he is. I know who it is too since he's been communicating with me and they'll be here for at least half a day.

...Time left to block (assuming perfect world 100%): 0 day, -7 hours, -47 min, -32 sec

Iirc, there's a "flaw" in that calc, in that it assumes the current hashrate was the total the whole time. It doesn't work as well past 100% as it does leading up to 100%. 

[userghost]

Having to downsize anyone looking for some new unopened t1's to add to the pool?

[-ck]

And they're gone without finding a block A block popped up in solo instead.
However we seem to have gone up in hashrate concurrently anyway.

[minefarmbuy]

That's alright, you mentioned it was just a fail over anyway. I have that good block feeling.

[faheshang]

We now have more hashrate than kano pool, if this after effect of the whale's visit holds.
