slush must be our lucky ticket, when he was afk pool was either bad luck or just getting by.

now we rolling in blocks.

edit: my god zzzzzzzz blockzzzzzzzzzz

Chyeah triple doublez like bosses

Chyeah triple doublez like bosses

doesn't this just indicate that difficulty will be going up

The difficulty will always go up with ASICs coming about. Sometimes they are just minutes apart and sometimes an hour. The system tries to keep generation to every 10 minutes. We were just lucky to get those 6 blocks in under 10 minutes.

That is the only way they can build in any kind of value otherwise this is nothing more than a great big ponzi scheme.

We need more vibes!

Holy shit my vibes worked

Site skipped 237447 like last time. Gonna have to wait for that manual adjustment.

And all those blocks when my miner was down .
Stupid Windows decided to sleep (after installing some updates) even it is completely disabled everywhere. I have checked again and it still on 'High Performance' with Sleep Never ... any ideas

[Lucko]

Anyone have experiences with those?

There are other group buys but I'm looking at this one since it is EU and relay low price.

Hmm...

Presently at Slush I get approx. 0.002BTC@~600MH/s at each block (averaged). We find around 16-18 blocks per day.
Assuming I were to pay 2.2BTC for this usb 'block eruptor' I would be looking at:

2.2 / 0.001 / 17 = 130 days to break-even, assuming network difficulty remains as-is, which it WILL NOT.

Because estimates of rate of difficulty increase vary wildly I hesitate to _speculate_ further, but it seems to me that there is a possibility this buy will not pay for itself in a reasonable time frame.

There are two more things to consider - let me use some examples:
- I have 5850 cards which use about 80-85W to produce roughly 300MH (or say it the same as that USB key). Here is the USB key advantage - it uses 0.5W.
- I got my cards at $120-150 each. Some are on dedicated mining rigs, some are used for gaming. At the end of the day I can sell those and recoup some of my investment.

My observations about payout are similar to mrm0's - with one rig at 900MH/s my average is about B 0.035-0.04/day (depending on luck). Or it will pay itself off in about 160-200 days (at current difficulty levels).
A GPU card (priced let's say 1.1BTC at current levels) making the same 300MH/sec minus price of electricity (2KW@$0.15=$0.3 or B0.0025) will bring you B 0.01/day or given the same presumptions will pay itself off in 100 days.
So, after the same 200 days each of those cards will pay itself and bring me about $120-150 profit + I can sell the cards for let's say $75 = total profit $200/card.

I'm over-simplifying it but you get the idea.

Bottom line is - if you're just now entering the mining world it is probably not worth the money as there are better alternatives.

EDIT: See this site for calculating the break-even duration: https://bitclockers.com/calc

I think we've seen this before ...

Mine is not much different:
18165    2013-05-23 08:31:16    2:23:19    18307104    2994    0.00000931    237493    25.42096358    99 confirmations left

I looked at my stats at around 8:15 server time and my score was almost zero, so it must've been recently reset (I guess at 8:00). With one exceptions those things usually self-correct after some time.

So - let's be patient for now.

Edit: took me some time to find the previous "famous" such block - it is 17925. The fun starts around page 388 and goes for a dozen pages if you want to read.

Edit 2 : I suspect we may hear from Slush soon - that block now shows:
18165    2013-05-23 08:31:16    2:23:19    18307104    none    none    237493    25.42096358    97 confirmations left

I noticed the reset too - I think the reset kicks in after exactly two hours into a round to stop numbers getting too big to handle.

asi problémik...

[Mowcore]

no problem, this always happens, check again! like now, just fixed it's self!

[Mowcore]

žiadny problém, vždy to stane, skontrolujte znova! ako teraz, len pevné, že je to sám!   if google translate works

Re-translates to:

no problem always happens, check again! as now, and only fixed it yourself!

looks like you are telling him to fix it himself

[Mowcore]

haha, good ol'google translate   I don't think it has ever got it right when I use it lol

edit: That be my rubbish grammer me tinks.
