it takes months to achieve 0.01 BTC

hope you got free electricity
Nope, just block erupters.  Grin

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

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Cloud hashing startles me, how and why would a company buy all the hardware and infrastructure just to sell the hash power at less than what the coins are worth, if they are selling the hash pwr at higher rate than the coins are worth, then why would someone pay for the hash pwr.

Am I missing something here, or is it a gamble on the company selling the power that the hardware is directed at a pool and it has a stupid long round/s?

What you are missing about cloud hashing is that most companies are using the profit from hardware sales (norm in the 20% - 50% range) to fund not only the data centers but their own mining equipment. The assured payback from sale of equip (and even better pre-sales) allows companies to use this cash to max effect (both building new hardware and mining) the cost of data hosting and electricity is usually built into the price of the hardware and nearly all such large operations take place in low power cost areas (South China, Pacific Northwest , Utah, Romania etc.) Most such equip is sold at a rate that is modestly profitable to the buyer at current difficulty rates and prices but very well may not be so in the future (with the future in this business often being next month).
Just my 2 cents.

I knew it would happen.
I had a 2 hour power cut this morning 16 hours into the block.
Of course the block was found after 18 hours and I received 0 reward.
Doesn't seem fair that I used 16 hours worth of electricity for nothing and yet somebody who hopped in to Slush one hour before the block got a full reward  Undecided

     Fortunately it took less than 4 hours for the next round to result in a resolved block, so you got off easy on this one. Just think of it as a 24 hr block resolution and move forward. The likelihood of you having a power outage at just the wrong moment is miniscule. It just as easily could have been that your power was also restored in just enough time for you to have benefitted from a short call on the block.

the only thing u should be mad at is the person who jumped in 1 hour before, HAD POWER and u did not.
Otherwise there are other pools you can join to alleviate this booboo

I'm thinking the money people are sending them is paying for the Equipment and power to run them, all the other stuff doesnt much matter. They can then skim 2% of the hashing power from each machine and go completely unnoticed to pay for a few Porsche's.

Yeah it didn't seem there was a fair exchange and a rort had to be somewhere. Combine that with CEX.io only being able to point the miners at GHash pool, seems like an easy way government to get into mining and fook it up for us. Even if GHash lost control of their pool or sold it could fook it. Having the hardware in the hands of individual miners seems the only way for it not to go that way

Not so much, GHash has broken the 50% barrier for sustained periods of time. The old news was they were a threat to but promised never to grow that much. Remember the public statements from them and putting a halt to independent miners joining? The unwritten news is they lied through their teeth and continued to add hashing power to their private stash. You do recall they were already caught once performing a double spend attack, correct? It is new news, a current problem if they continue unchecked.

Every pool has broken the 50% barrier every block. If you don't get the next block, then you're still at 50% for two blocks. On a daily average, Ghash never got over 50% of the network. On a 160 block moving average, GHash.IO might have just touched 50% once for an hour or so.

Short answer - no, GHash.IO hasn't "broken the 50% barrier". I'd be more worried abut the fact it even got to 40% of the network. It tells me that many - maybe most - miners are very short sighted.
