Do rentals help? I just added 1.2 Petra for 4 hours to see if it can help our luck!

Hashrate is hashrate. Unless there's something malicious going on from the person you're renting the hashrate then every hash counts and increases our chances of finding a block.

I was using my nicehash BTC wallet address for the pool, do I lose all my work if I change to another wallet?

"accumulated": 5815992.817247814
"herp": 9019192.741226209

You don't lose it but it goes to another address which means you don't accumulate as much in one address. If you were below the payout threshold and abandon the address then it will never get paid anything. I highly recommend using one address as much as possible.

Well... Here's to hoping nicehash comes back online. Hate to lose my work because of their misfortune. If not, I guess I'll just have a learning experience.

The problem is that I can't start allowing people to change addresses unless they had a way to prove they owned those other addresses through signing from the original address. Remember the cardinal rule with bitcoin - unless you own the private keys to your address, you do not have control of your money. Always always use your own wallet where you are in control of your address. Time and time again any time there has been a hack, only those who have not used their own wallets were adversely affected a great deal.

I just shut my 2pacs down from the pool. When I figure out how to get them and the U3 to play with each other, I'll have a private wallet address. Thank you for the pool. I hope to add my hashpower to it again soon.

*Remember the cardinal rule with bitcoin - unless you own the private keys to the address, it's not your bitcoin or your address.

NiceHash was hacked today for about 4,449 BTC.

Soon it will be nearly an year and the pool is still pretty much the same size compared to the porcentage of hashrate. Tis sad. Pool coded by con kolivas and the only free pool. We should have at least 6ph/s to beat variance and find a block per diff.

Still I mine.

I go offline for 2 weeks and we get  block. Just goes to show you never know. Never give up never surrender.

@CK,

Quick two questions...

1.) Does a higher bestshare increase Herp faster? I see you wrote that we get rewarded for higher shares.. but was that just for smaller miners? or if my machine gets a share in the billions vs. millions - does it increase my herp faster?

2.) If I rent hashrate, is it better to get one rig at somewhere around 1 PH/S - 500 TH/S or Fifty 10 TH/S Miners?
I thought it would be better to get more smaller ones and split them up.. but the bigger machines get larger bestshares.. so if bestshare helps increase herp, than multiple rentals would be better than just one larger rental?


BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK! I can feel it coming baby! Lets GO GO GO!

1. Yes but on average it will smooth out if you have a high hashrate so in practice, no. It only makes it possible to get a bit more if you're a tiny miner.
2. It makes zero difference. The bigger machines do NOT get larger bestshares; that's just your perception. Only overall hashrate matters. Remember that 1PH "rigs" are actually just hundreds of the same smaller rigs.

Basically, there is no way to "game" the system to get better rewards. Just get the most hashrate you can afford at the cheapest price.

Okay got it! Thank you CK!! Appreciate you!



I'm not trying to beat or "game" the system.. Just want to do it the right and most efficient, best way possible.

I just wasn't sure if multiple different "workers" was better than one big hashrate "worker."

Since you said that smaller miners have that bestshare bonus, I just thought that was a better option, and also a better chance of finding a block..

I figured that if I had miners spread out over the world, better chances at finding a block than just one user in one location.. But I guess it doesn't really matter.. Just get the most hashrate I can for the best price.. I only have a 30 Th/s rig here at home, so I like to rent sometimes and "roll the dice."

But thanks for the answers, I do appreciate it!

I had a best share at over 10 billion, was the highest I ever had.. and it was after I reduced my S9 frequency to 550, which I thought was weird..

So when that happened I wasn't sure if that share raised my Herp more than usual.. Wasn't sure if the higher share was better for my herp than a slightly higher hash rate..

Best,

And that's called sheer coincidence. Luck is luck. Altering settings doesn't change luck. Increasing your hashrate increases your chances of a high share; end of story.

We had around 10 for first few weeks but it was all rental hoping for a lucky first block whilst reward was still effectively proportional.

Wooooooo !!!

Congrats everybody !!!


 I was so sad that I ran out of money to buy XRP - as it's making huge gains - and than I look at my account and Bam $500 ...

MOD EDIT: Ref link removed

 We are family here and I think we can help each other out to become the most profitable collective on the scene.

 I love you guys and I'm so proud of everybody. so happy… I'm bringing all my minors over here after this one. :-)


Quick Question CK,

I see I'm still the same place in the payouts… So nothing resets after we find a block?

 It seems that if we get lucky and find like 45 blocks a month… This pool would be the most profitable pool that I have seen including Kano' - which one of my miners is in.
