Dear US east-coast miners, we have resolved recent connectivity issue which affected only AWS part of the pool infrastructure. Everything is fully operational now. We apologize for the inconveniences.

Much appreciated. I was beginning to wonder if the problem was on my end or yours. Luckily my laziness saved me a lot of needless network troubleshooting. Woohoo!

Good to know, was just wondering what was wrong with my little farm.
Thanks for the update.

I have corrected all power, ventilation & added a firewall to my 10 miners.  I feel like I have finally isolated the optimal running conditions for my miners.  I am averaging 140 th/s per day and not having any disconnections for past 2 weeks since I get everything straightened out at my colo.  I have been mining now for 3 months too.

My question is a slushpool question.

Slushpool factors affecting rewards:
1) Look in my pool (like you said it's a bonus if it happens, but only negative impact in short term)
2) Pool hash rate (if hash is rising then difficulty, difficulty mining rises as well and causes decline in rewards over time)
3) Total hash rate of btc network (rises as difficulty rises & decreases rewards over time)(ONLY factor which has permanent affet in profitability of hardware)

Outside of these 3 points above, are there any controllable ways for me to maximize pool efficiency in slushpool?  Along with all miners (I suppose) I am looking to understand if there are any other ways I can decrease the "Expected Payout Period" or rest assured I am doing everything that I can based on assumptions above.

Sorry for long thread boys.... ask ?s first than forgiveness afterwards

Yes, add more hashing power 

[jnewsom23]

well played sir.... I see what you did there.

He's exactly right though, if you want to keep up, you have to add more hash.

Unfortunately so - at least if you want to maintain the same average take home earnings. I was hoping this slump in price would squeeze out some hashing power but noooooo everyone has to add moooore. By everyone I mean the mega miners who don't really care about such pitiful mortal problems such as operating expenses.

Where do you think all of those "brand new" s9's are going...to storage?

lol yeah I know I know. Bitmain is the scourge of crypto. If they could replace you with an ASIC they would! rofl.

Better known as their AI project.

Exactly!  Would cost less in energy costs.   lol

hi
low rewards seem to me brought 6 s9 for test slushpool.
copying exact rewards something wrong what min difficulty should be for 6x S9.

33866   2018-04-07 23:44   00:27:24   3.066 Eh/s      68.34 Th/s   0.00027749 BTC   12.70507557 BTC   99

for 68.34 Th/s reward is 0.00027749 and can some help about min diff at slushpool.
thx

That looks to be about right for slushpool, with the pool's higher hash rate, you don't make nearly as much as before.   

[mustangy]

yes but m i missing what at this point per whattomine daily for avarage 80th/s 0.00579btc but at slush it is 0.00210 ?
 here slush last blocks my rewards for 80th/s this more than double
what is must be min diffculty for 80th/s ??

You should be getting approximately 0.00007 BTC/TH, so the estimation is roughly correct. However the daily rewards fluctuate a bit because of luck (number of blocks found per day differ). It averages out over the time so there's nothing to worry about. You can watch the luck stats here: https://slushpool.com/stats/?c=btc

thanks, sluspool.com adding more all the way up to 200 S9
going up doubled today will add every day when have time.
another question when slushpool total hash is almost same yesterday but slushpool was second at total hash % percentage today at 4th rank and total bitcoin hash is same how come

another question when slushpool total hash is almost same yesterday but slushpool was second at total hash % percentage today at 4th rank and total bitcoin hash is same how come

I guess you were looking on hashrate distribution chart like this? https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hours

Those only estimate hashrate based on the number of blocks found, meaning they are very imprecise in such short period because of the variance – luck.

On the contrary the hashrate reported by Slush Pool is precisely measured in real time.

thanks for quick responses.
will add more S9

Hello, i want to obfuscate the traffic from my miners to slush pool using tor, i have routers with openwrt/lede and tor activated, but i'm using slush pool normal addresses, i read that slush has a hidden service for the pool, how do i set up that for my miners?.

Thanks for any orientation you guys can give me.

Hello, we currently don't run Tor hidden service, neither we support mining via Tor network. It's possible that you can get it running somehow, however we cannot guarantee you anything. Another option could be mining via VPN.
