Two days ago, we knocked-out 5 blocks in 6 hours, followed by a block that took nearly 12 hours (11:55), then this block. 27 hours and counting.

CDF = 99.6%

Wow!

Let's hope so. I have had more than enough visions of people in red underwear for now (actually it works better if it's a hot chick in red underwear.).

Howdy Ya'll,
Maybe you can explain something to me:

How is it we went for like four days early in the week with single BTCs in the 55+% CDF, and got paid decently, then on Tuesday,
BitMinter gets 4 BTCs with CDF under 35%, and suddenly the pool Ths go up by around 4.5 Ths, and after two days of what should have been a freaking bonanza after a slow week, I got a total pay off of around 0.13 BTC for that 48 hours of work.

Now I pay the 2% pool perks to get paid first, and I know we don't get paid for stale work, but I have watched my return for slow days be better than extremely good days for pay out.

But most worryingly is I watched my daily profitability go from around from 0.48-0.54 BTCs to 0.34 BTCs on the very day of our best discoveries, and there were no corresponding changes in difficulty or network hashing power: only a change in the pool when blocks were discovered.

So while people are complaining about a CDF of 99%+, it really wasn't surprise.  What was a surprise was BitMinters "API was down so weekly network hash rates couldn't be calculated" for the very week I watched my ROI go from 0.48 BTC to around 0.34 BTC per day in the very 48 hoir period when we get our biggest day for a while, and meanwhile there is a corresponding pool hash rate increase of some 25%?

Basically, because we watch the stats in real time, when we look for accounting of how our work was used, we don't get much explanation, even though I see that the BitMinter weekly pool stats in CDF and payouts correspond closely to other big pools.

Perhaps it was a synchronicity that on our biggest day for a while, Network hash rate suddenly increased such that there was a nearly 25% reduction in my daily return from my miner, that had nothing to do with either a software bug, an increase in pool hash rate, or the way the spoils are divvied up.

But I have read such complaints here before and dismissed them when the BitMinter guy comes in an explains why certain things are the way they are.  And also, I had good support from BitMinter early on when I had a question.  Finally, BitMinter, was the only software that worked with my first tiny .333 Ghs usb plugs, so I wanted to show my appreciation by sticking with the pool as it is a smaller one in the top ten, to help diversify the pool computation.

But it seems that if all things stay the same, my ROI hash rate return will fall below  0.1 BTC per day for a BFL 60 Ghs miner within the next 4 weeks.

While I understand that difficulty increases, I used the 61% year over year depreciation stat in the calculator for a purchasing decision.  Now it appears that only true diagnostic for ROI is network hashrate-- not difficulty.  OR POSSIBLY POOL HASHRATE.

I was under the impression that BitMinter had some type of controls installed so that people couldn't easily pool hop.  But maybe that is what is needed.

So it appears to me, that my BFL 60 Ghs miner which was totally profitable less than 10 days ago suddenly became unprofitable by almost 0.16 BTC per day within a single 48 hour period.

I don't dispute it's possible or likely, it just doesn't seem to correspond to what I was getting several orders of magnitude lower with my .333 ghs miners.

The data does not continue to comply with the estimations at higher hash rates, even when accounting for difficulty.

Thus, I need some kind of explanation or I have to start looking elsewhere for any shred of profitability until I get ROI, which should have been Dec. 14, 2013 at the latest and now seems pushed back to June 2014, as of yesterday.

Honestly, I am trying to make a decent go of this, with good accounting, and yesterday doesn't seem to add up-- even when accounting for unclosed blocks waiting to be paid.

It really sucks, and if Network Hashrate is the true Gorilla in the room rather than difficulty, how has that avoided the major avenues of research here on Bitcointalk.org and other newsworthy sites.  Because if Network Hashrate IS the gorilla in the room, then every calculator I've used lacks a Network Difficulty variable to help keep from screwing ourselves.

If our community is so desperate as to need to completely misrepresent the way that difficulty works so that folks will buy hardware from only 4 manufacturers without a real picture of deflation, then we are everything the straight banking community says we are.

And rather than make the next leap to a 2 Th machine to continue mining, after yesterday, it looks like I should be one of the assholes on eBay asking a lot for a machine and get out of the game now....

It's really kind of disappointing.

Any happy thoughts?    Huh

That and wearing red underwear seem to be the key to having good luck.

But more seriously variance evens out over much longer periods of time, weeks and months not days.

Howdy Ya'll,
Maybe you can explain something to me:
<snip>

I think you have a lot of misconceptions about pooled mining, and unfortunately that tends to be the case for many miners. I don't really know where to start, but can estimate the amount you could expect to earn per day as follows:

Code:
miner hashrate / 2^32 * B / D * 86400
B = block reward, 25 btc
D = network difficulty, currently 86933017.771194

So in the case of a 60 Ghps miner: 60e09 / 2^32 * 25 / 86933017.771194 * 86400 = 0.3471046 btc expected per day. In your post you mention 034 btc per day. Given the amount of variance one would expect, this is vary close. I don't think you're seeing anything unusual. Maybe you're expectations were a bit unrealistic?

your single will make about 3.52 btc in the next 10 days.   I use this calc


https://bitclockers.com/calc  


 plugged in  61200 hash

350 watts

 .18 usd a k watt

 10 days time


120 usd a btc

87000000 diff  

1% diff change-----   since we will stay at 87 mill for about 10 more days  

25 btc a block



so just see what you make in the next 10 days   over 3.52 btc good luck under  3.52 bad luck   you pay fees so  3.52 is off a bit.

so more like 3.32 btc    you used .34 which 10x is close to my number.  and in 10 days or so diff will jump and your single will be a little worse.

  you could sell it on ebay  but offer pick up only and btc payment only.  No chargebacks that way.  this one is over 4 k


http://www.ebay.com/itm/Butterfly-Labs-BFL-Bitforce-SC-Single-60GH-s-IN-HAND-READY-TO-SHIP-/221276166796?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3385165a8c  

 I do not think a single will earn 4.5 k over its life.

Okay but riddle me this: How is that my hash rate seems to be decreasing by half every 13 days!?! (according to the Mint Speed of the BitMinter Client v1.4.1).  Friday before last at around 7 PM Central I was getting over 0.6 BTC per day, and now around 0.35 BTC.  

With that rate of change in depreciation, there is no way to argue for even the newest biggest machines, because they would become worthless in a year.

So was there a change in the way that  "Approx Mint Speed" was figured or displayed in the new client that may help to explain the loss of mint speed despite better hash rates in the second week?  

Because external added hashing to the network is the only thing other than that which could explain the high rate of depreciation-- and despite an increase in BTC value from $112 to $145 USD in the same time.

Or maybe larger miners with experience could give some perspective on how long I should give a 60 Ghs machine to get a better estimate?

Thanks.

PS far easier to be an extremely bad drug dealer who was constantly arrested than a legit BTC miner....
