Pretty or not it is time to dance.  LOL
Since I cannot you have to.

Only 2 blocks out of the 20 we have found in the last 24 hours were at 94.6% luck. Do I need to start doing my block dance? I will. It is not pretty, but I will do it.

Only if you're going to post videos!

Maybe Mario can save us!
He is good at finding blocks with coins in them

http://www.mariowiki.com/Coin_Block
Coin blocks have appeared in nearly every Super Mario game, debuting in Super Mario Bros. For blocks that contain multiple coins, in most games, there is a time limit for how long it will continue to give the player coins instead of actually having a set number of coins. If the player strikes a coin block fast enough, they can get 8 coins, usually the most coins a player can get from a coin block; however, quite a few games make it possible to obtain more. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe's Challenge Mode has some Coin Blocks release Red Coins when struck fast enough. In New Super Mario Bros., striking a Coin Block enough times (at least 11) will produce a Super Mushroom. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U if the player hits a Coin Block enough times, five Coins will fly out before the Coin Block turns into a Block.

We should start a mario team on btcguild?

Odd that the pool hashrate has dropped so much over the past couple of days.

[ManeBjorn]

I like this case but it does not have much for ventilation other than the fan.

I have noticed on a couple of my Pi's running very hot that run a bunch of miners.
Hopefully this gives you an idea of what to do.

Found that 3d printed R-Pi case with the fan mount...

Sweet.
I will save up for it.
Sorry to have posted this in the wrong thread.  I had too many tabs open. LOL

No worries. I read this thread daily and don't mind the extra advertisement for my 3d printing, hehe.

We're going to have nearly 30% jump I'm difficulty soon!

Where is all this hashrate come from?  I didn't expect to retire my miners so soon. . They won't make ROI.

[Todd042]

Well with all the new miners getting ready to come out. I would say a lot of testing is going on (like at Bitmain) and some people are upgrading there farms in preparation for that. I am waiting on the s3 that should start to roll out next week sometime, and I hope to get 50 to 75 of them over the next month or so. I would look for the network to add around 20Ph over the next few months. So look out for 25% plus difficulty jumps.

20 PH/s over the next few weeks is more likely.  ASICMINER alone is going to be pushing out over 100 PH/s of chips in the next few months.

[Todd042]

100 PH of chips wow I knew it was going to be a big number but had no Ideal. Well I was hope to outrun the difficulty jumps by 10% or so, but maybe I will just hope that I can keep up. It should be a fun ride at any rate...

Not to worry gents.  Assuming .8 w per GH (we have to be much higher than that currently......) 

With the current growth rate, the network is on pace to consume 1,000 MW by December, 10,000 MW in less than a year, and 122,000 MW by the end of 2015. aaaaand for funs, 10,699,343 MW by the end of 2016....which, coincidentally, is about 10x the total generational capacity of the entire USA. 

Now obviously efficiency is going to improve, but there is a lower bound that we will rapidly approach in the near future.  Also, all of the lower cost sources of power will be exhausted in the next 6-9 months, and marginal expansion will be that much more difficult. 

What I am trying to say is, diff jumping by 20% every 12 days is completely unsustainable.  Unless the entire world devotes its energy generation to mining.  And subsidizes the power cost. 

[ak49er]

What's happening with the PPLNS stats page?  The 1+PH/s user has disappeared, but so have their stats.  They still found the most blocks, even if they're no longer contributing to the pool.

The 1 PH/s user is either having major issues, or has left the pool (haven't been able to identify their speed on a pool that gives public user stats).

The PPLNS detail view shows the exact shares submitted by each user for any individual shift.  The rankings page only shows users active in the previous shift.  The 1 PH/s+ user has had one unit coming on and off, just a few hundred GH/s, so they keep re-appearing on the Rankings page (shares+blocks found), but on the shift details they would be very low.

So it looks like they'e back according to the all time shares and blocks found columns, but they're not showing in the fastest users column.  So this puts them at somewhere around 5% of their 1+PH/s, right?

Like I said in the quote, they seem to have a few units failing over to BTC Guild once in a while, but nothing like what they were originally running.  If they submit a single share in a shift they'll reappear in the rankings for shares/blocks found until the next shift.

[ALToids]

Figures the 6 hours in a month my power goes out and we have the highest luck spike in 4 days.  Sound about right 

[psahx]

I think, the luck is broken again. Is somebody already trying to fix that?

 

[ManeBjorn]

No good luck goes unpunished remember that.  LOL
Who is doing the luck dance?  Get back to dancing.  Hehe.

I am seriously considering buying this.

Do you think every pool member should have one?
