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

[poorsnail]

I only trust Chinese pools like Antpool, F2Pool, BTCChina,  Very consistent in finding blocks on daily basis. 

Beside,  even if they scam for 2-3 blocks per day,  small miners like me won't get hurt.

On smaller pools,  if the pool operator takes 1-2 blocks per day... it's a big chunk gone and will hurt small miners big time.


Beside that I see more and more blocks with IP addresses on blockchain than the pool name attached to it.

And there you have clearly pointed out your complete lack of understanding of the statistics of bitcoin mining.

Its ok kano, don't feed the troll. Sometimes it's not worth teaching a homeless man to fish. Let them learn to fish on their own or until they are willing to learn. Until then, you'll be talking to a brick wall until their mind is opened.

[poorsnail]

That's why BTC China,  Only twice the size of Slush,  finds 10+ blocks everyday!

Which proves my theory...  1 block per 2 Pentahash Per day!  

F2Pool 67 Pentahash = Should be 33 Blocks per day
Slush 10 Pentahash = Should be 5 Blocks Average per day
BTCChina 23 Pentahash = 10 Blocks Average per day
Antpool  42 Pentahash = 20 Blocks average per day
Bitcoin Aff Network = 2-3 Pentahash = 1 - 2 Block per day average
Bitminter = 1.8 Pentahash  = 1 Block per day
Ghash I.O  40 Pentahash = 20 Blocks per day average

Kano - I don't see your pool name on blockchain... What's up with that?

Would 2 Pentahash be 10 hashes?

Indeed it would

[kkurtmann]

When I started mining, it was all kilohash and megahash. I was too late for the centahash and pentahash days.

[poorsnail]

thankyou, That answers the question


very strange, the chinese pool was able to change it's name from "Discus Fish" to "F2 Pool".

Maybe chinese have more connections to blockchain, lol

Ok. Now you're just being silly.

[organofcorti]

F2 Pool was never called "Discus Fish" by the owners. That was just a nickname I gave it from the coinbase signature of their blocks, and the nickname has stuck in the English-speaking world. The real name is "F2 Pool".

[SargeR33]

F2 Pool is bitcoin cancer. Anyone who uses it and isn't in china is a fool. It is one of the slowest paying pools you can mine if you're running less than 20thash. There are much more effective pools to mine. If you are mining F2 Pool, pull out and put your power into Bitcoin affiliate. For PPS they do extremely well. BA and Slush are the only pools I mine for BTC. Don't support those china pools aka the btc dumpers.

where has all the hashrate gone?

Judith Durham wrote a song about that in the 70's

[Moria843]

Everybody's bailing to Eligius.
Approximately same hash rate:
Eligius: 17 blocks found from 14 Jan to present; Slush 6 blocks found over same period.
The Saint of miners, St. Elegius is working his magic.

I thought it was 'Peter, Paul and Mary" and in the 1960s.

[Mick2000]

Morning,

Just a little question. Im not getting a best share value on my S2, but I am on both of my S3+.
Is this a problem? And if so, how do I rectify?

Many thanks as always.

Mick

I have mined nonstop here since December,2013. This is just ridiculous. I think Slush lost his mojo. Later  trying GHash.IO, can't be any worse than this bullshit

[poorsnail]

I am mining in Antpool

Payouts are consistant and very good.

Ghash.io has more hash power, so there will be less variance. But will you make more in the long run? I doubt it.

Note that this person is running an experiment comparing Slush and Ghash.io real world profitability for two months. It's probably too early to call a winner, but so far Slush is ahead:

https://bitcoinsfaq.wordpress.com/2014/12/19/bitcoin-mining-2-longtime-slush-and-ghash-mining-pool-race-started/#more-93

It's interesting that Slush is ahead even with some pretty bad recent dry spells compared to Ghash.io which is at 40 some odd petahash and as a result is popping blocks on a regular basis.

I know that past luck cannot be a measure of future performance. But there certainly seems to be an anecdotal sense from a number of different sources that Ghash.io is less profitable with 0% fees than some other pools that have fees, like Slush.
