I am mining at eligius with BFL 60GH/s miner. Usually (several months, actually) it averages to 60.7 GH/s, but starting last week it shows 59.9 GH/s
Anyone noticed something similar? If it was hardware issue like one core dead, I believe hashrate would decrease significantly more

Did you cycle the power before this happened? In a BFL 65 nm device, you'd  like see a drop of more than ,1 GH/s if you had a blown core. I've noticed that the hashrate can differ by 1-1.5 GH/s after powering it off and on. After several hours, it often climbs back up to the usual rate, but sometimes sticks at the lower rate for several days. I then try cycling the power again if it annoys me, but this can leave me with the lower rate that annoyed me. About the only thing you can try is 1) wait a while, or 2) cycle the power. If it were to drop to a steady 54% you could contact them for an RMA, but for a less than 1 GH/s drop, they would likely say the same thing I am. Coincidently, I got this same suggestion from their tech support several months back due to a similar issue with my 50 GH/s unit. Good luck.

so how many btc a day do you get with this pool running 60gh/s? I'm curious because I really want to get into this stuff bad. I think I can get a 60gh/s miner on ebay for $600-700ish I can't remember I saw them earlier today anyway.

edit2: this "burnt out power supply" issue these BFL miners have seems super annoying

His figures are a bit off. I'm mining about .18 a day with 80 GH/s. The psu ain't that big of a deal, though.

If there is a pool that will pay 0.18 BTC/day for 80gh/s I'm switching!

I believe you meant 0.018

pfft. yeah. sorry about that. I am under the influence of an 11 day old child.

At 90 GH/s, I'm getting roughly 0.02/day, so at 60, I'd expect around 0.013 or so at the current difficulty (which just changed around Friday or thereabouts). His estimate of 0.02 per day in that auction is based on the difficulty about 2-3 weeks ago. These last few difficulty increases have really stung.

The blown PSU isn't a big deal, in the sense that these units run very well with an ATX PSU, perhaps even more stable.

You can calculate expected earnings as follows:

Daily: hashrate*86400/2^32/Difficulty*Reward per block

At 60 Ghps, this is:

60e09/2^32/ 2193847870.1743*86400*25 = 0.0137543 coins per day

Great estimate, NecroBones!

Why does the pool not pay out even I have over 0.04 btc ??
How Long does it take for the payout ??

[brox]

http://thegenesisblock.com/mining/ to help figure out costs and return... my question is are the statistics on that site calculated based entirely on the assumption of solo mining?

It does not matter for cumulative return, but in practice - forget about solo mining. No one should mine solo unless you are in control of at least 1% world's hash power. Otherwise it is quite possible you mine your first solo block when block reward will be 12.5 BTC or even 6.25 BTC, or simply put - never

yeah I'd never mine solo, I just had no idea if the numbers quoted on http://thegenesisblock.com/mining were based on solo mining or not(and whether or not it even matters).

basically, all I can seem to buy right now that will deliver in feb is maybe 100-200gh/s miners.... and the thing is, from what I have read, If I pre-order some 2th/s device from cointerra or where ever, I will pretty much have to wait till MAY or later, and everybody says by then the difficulty will be so high that 2th/s will be the equivalent of 200gh/s today.... is that correct?

example product: http://cointerra.com/product/terraminer-iv-2ths-networked-asic-miner-may-batch/ <-- by may that thing will be crap and will never recover the cost is what I've read in other forum posts... people were saying if you want to get into bitcoin mining that you should just buy off the shelf stuff from ebay or whatever reseller has on hand and just giv'er shit with it.

I'm starting to think the only way I can break into this mining business is if I buy a slow 100-200gh/s miner now and at the exact same time pre-order a 2th/s miner from cointerra for 6000... does anybody have a better suggestion, or know of where a person can even get a reasonably priced beginner miner for somebody not really wanting to drop more than $5000

Just assume the numbers on thegenesisblock are based on the pool mining (notice field "Pool fee, %"). Change it to 0% and you will get what you want

Thank you, will try today. All I need is open window and temperature will be -20C in minutes

Edit: worked like a charm, 1GH/s out of thin air!

thanks guys, that's actually encouraging to hear, I may actually try to get an antminer S1

I also want to use merged mining. I have a namecoin adres from cryptsy. How do i sign that?
there is no option to sign within cryptsy

I signed with my BTC address and client, go that route.

[Behave4949]

oke thanks,

but still, how to sign with cryptsy or blockchain

[baddw]

oke thanks,

but still, how to sign with cryptsy or blockchain

Steps to do this:

1) Obtain a valid Namecoin address
2) Open up your Bitcoin wallet
3) Open up your Eligius preferences page
4) Paste your Namecoin address into the Eligius preferences page
5) Copy the generated message from the Eligius preferences page
6) Paste the message into your Bitcoin wallet for your normal Bitcoin address
7) Sign the message with your Bitcoin wallet
Paste the resulting signature hash into the Eligius preferences page

So, to be clear: you have to generate the signature with your BITCOIN wallet in order to set up your NAMECOIN address.

Did anyone else have any problem connecting at 6:45? Some of my miners went into failover. Just curios if it was only me. Thanks

I seem to have continuous connection.  When I have such a question, I look at the mining stats of the top miners and see if they had troubles.

The default payout value is 0.04194304 BTC.

It may be changed by going to http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/mystats.php, and following the instructions; but it may not be set lower than 0.01048576 BTC.

You were correct as always there was a drop off for everyone at that time frame. I bow to your superior intelligence.
