[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[whispy]

I have for some time experienced considerable fluctuations in my hash rate at various times of the day, but with a downward trend.  This has often also affected my hash rate with BTC Guild: both have been dropping by as much as 50%, and never quite getting back to their original level.  But an interesting thing happened a couple of days ago:  I watched a one hour TV programme through my internet player, something I never normally do.  After a few pauses for buffering, the programme got into its stride and did not falter again.  Then I noticed that my hash rate on Slush and BTC Guild had both increased to the rate I used to enjoy, despite it being a busy time of day, and they have not fallen since.  The only conclusion I can reach is that my ISP had been throttling my bandwidth but then had to increase it to allow the TV programme to play.  Or perhaps I'm just becoming paranoid.  Anyway, it appears to have remained high some 36 hours after the event.  Perhaps I need to become a couch potato.

Nothing wrong with being a couch potato.

Quick question, is 100 Mhash/s good? I'm using a GTX 670 as the GPU, and I've gathered that they are much worse than AMD for hash rates, but I still seem to be getting a tiny estimated reward of around 0.00000050 BTC even after several hours of constantly mining the same block (it's been going for nearly 6 hours now, whereas I started mining about 3 ago).

You can use the calculator link provided earlier. But, for a real world example, I have 8 S1 AntMiners overclocked with each pumping out about 200 Ghash/s or 1.6 Thash/s in all. For the 1.8 Thashes/s I average about BTC0.07/day. With threshold set at BTC0.1 I get a payout every 1.5 days. My electricity cost is about $9/day so I'm still making money at current difficulty and BTC value.

66tbird, same here and nothing wrong as we are 16+ hours deep in trying to solve a block.

Is something not right when there are no blocks to be validated on the statistics page? My last block was 305317. It's just something I've never seen in my 2 weeks of mining.

It just means all the previous blocks have been confirmed in the last 16+hrs the current block has bean churning away

Is this the "Block from hell"  or what?

Strictly, it's the current round, not the current block.  Many blocks have been solved in the last 16+ hours, just not by anyone in this pool.  When someone, somewhere, solves a block we all start working on the next, and all within the current round, which ends only when somebody in this pool solves a block.

What a Bad day for slush !

That's THE "Black Thursday"

Yeah my bad, round not block, and did you mean strictly or retentively hue hue hue

Nice recovery from the "Black Thursday"

Sorry if it's been asked before, but are there any plans to change the minimum withdrawl amount to something like 0.001 BTC? As a small miner it takes months to achieve 0.01 BTC with a small hashrate.

[Moria843]

I've been over my confirmed min payout threshold for about 6 hours and no payout. Has anyone else noticed slow payout or a problem?

My bad! I was looking at my total reward not confirmed reward.

D'oh!

hope you got free electricity

highly doubtful it was lower once upon a time but times changed.. when they forced the payment on tx's under .01 it wasn't worth operators
to pay smaller than that out.

Nope, just block erupters. 

They don't do much anymore, but paired with a Raspberry Pi don't take more than ~12W for 2.2GH/s.

Damn. That's a lot electricity for only 2.2gh/s

Could be worse...could be mining with a Cube! lol

Try Unobtanium, instead of BTC
It still won't ROI but it will earn coins quicker.

I have some erupters pointed at:-  http://miners-point.com:3333

Its their last chance before final switch off.

Also a useful backup pool ( 3rd choice on my S1) in case of BTC network failure.

Edit:- The wallet is more difficult to set up, but is based on the same (sha256) as BTC

Omg longest block ever..12hours.... I've seen long blocks but now I am trying out cloud hashing for 24 hour and now seems a waste...sadden I am. ..
