Harrr!!! I been on this barge for 19 hours and me sees after all this scuttlebut only 2856 pieces of eight. Haaarrrr!!! OT, sort of, but to relieve the wait for the next block... Long John Silver enters the Admiral Benbow Inn, and on being greeted by the landlady answers "I'm very well indeed, Missus 'Awkins, thank'ee kindly for askin'." "But Mr Silver, you have lost a leg since you were last here." "Arrr, shot off by a cannon-ball it were, but I've had this 'ere wooden peg fitted, and now I'm as right as rain." "And you have lost a hand, Mr Silver." "Arrr, chopped off by a sabre it were, but I've had this 'ere hook fitted, and now I'm as right as rain." "You are wearing an eye patch, have you lost your eye as well?" "Arrr, looked up, I did, and a seagull crapped in it." "But surely that would not cause you to lose an eye?" "Arrr, well, it were the first day with me new hook."

If you're mining to turn a profit, maybe. I'm more interested in just making a slow and steady conversion, since my computers are always on, from dollars into the electric bill to BTC. Will I ever need them? Maybe, maybe not. TigerDirect takes them, and so does my preferred site for MP3's, so there's that. That being said - 2 new Antminers fired up today, they'd already hashed more shares in the 5 minutes they were on than my GPU had in what was the 90 minute lifetime of the chrrent block so far. Yay.

I get it, and by all means mine away but let say it went to $20USD a coin hell shutdown and buy on the open market.
my point is, we are coming to a point where the pace of mining might actually slow down, pick up again, later for sure
but for the first time, network hash rate might actually go down or hold steady.
anyway, might not.
it is fun thinking about it tho.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Mining hardware has been pre-ordered already which will probably trickle in all the way to 2015. The odds of the network hash rate going down are pretty low unless the price is low enough that newer ASICs can't even beat the costs of electricity. You can't factor in device RoI for network growth when it's already been paid for and the companies have terrible track records of providing refunds.

Antminer S1's sold out at Bitmain tech.
S2's are way too expensive also and not available. Should have picked up my 6th S1 when I had the chance.
Interesting.

That's just recently. I'm wondering if it was putting downward pressure on the S2 price prior to them being shipped. Seemed the discounting stopped this week on the S1 just before this. The S2 at it's current price isn't a whole lot better deal. Still uses the same power hungry ASIC. I expect that one to drop radically after the first batch or two goes out. Too much more efficient competition for it soon.

Any ideas why 3 of miners (out of 5) would be significantly under reporting M/hash's?
First 2 are fine at around ~200Gh/s that last 3 are at 166GH/s - all locally are around ~190GH/s - 210GH/s (overclocked S1's)

Scratch that, just new blocks being found and the counters catching up. Not used to so many new blocks...

Ahhhhhhhhh YAAA good day for slushies!!! ^^this I already pay to have my computer on all day, 2 U2's drawing another 4W off of the already running 600W PSU is a net zero change. I'll just pretend it's my electric company giving me back 0.1% of my bill per month. In BTC.

300 gh/s Avalon, a 19 hour block and a BTC reward of 0.00002856!!! Might as well be an orphan.
Something's wrong with your stuff. I have only 200 Gh/s and my average block is .0045. My smallest block was .0034 for only an hour since the last and my largest was .0065 for only 29 minutes since last block. I'm using an Antminer S1. On the exact block you are talking about I got: Total Shares Your Shares Reward 18829281958 3130134 0.00410163

Agreed. There's something wrong. On your "account" screen what is it showing under the "Mhash/s*" column? You should see something just under 300,000. Estimated rewards should float somewhere around .006 with the pool at it's current size.

Is this a serious question or an April fool's joke?

600W is the upper output limit of the PSU. It doesn't mean you are drawing that much - if you are, it's too close to the limit for comfort. I have a 750W PSU, but even with with the GPU, CPU, two block eruptors, and a Jalapeño all running flat-out, it draws only about 135W.
