@-ck can you please confirm after the maintenance  work your pool is checked and ready for a big rental? We plan a 500 PHs rental for rearly 24h and i would only start if i have your ok from pool side.

Yes of course, I will tell you once it is over. It is network switch works, the pool itself will be untouched and still running.

[1] How much better is a 24-hour marathon than a 15-day?
[2] Do you enter the game on a private basis or can anyone join?

In that case, let me ask you what is the cost of the entry fee ... Since, as far as I understand, the leased capacity is 15 times more than usual.

I may not be attentive, but I just did not see any mention of a new round.

Here you can follow us with the 500 PHs rental
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5377859.0

At the moment it is a closed round and i organice the run only, not play it selfe (but maybe in the next mega run, will see it is work)
if you start a hashpower rental for maybe 1 BTC it is better to run it for more time with less speed, you will get more shares as other 1 BTC with more speed and less time: how more hashpower do you will rent,  how more will the price go up and in the end you get less shares.

Sorry for my bad englisch, hope you understand what i mean.

[1] How much better is a 24-hour marathon than a 15-day?

With the same hashrate, obviously, 15 days would yield more blocks if you are talking about splitting the 500ph over 15 days by doing 33.33PH a day then there is no difference as far your chances of hitting a block, 100PH in 12 hours is also just the same, the only factor that would change the probability of finding blocks is if a difficulty change happens during the rental in which can make longer periods and lower hashrate more effective if the change is negative, but the difficulty very rarely drop anyway.

The other factor is the supply and demand, when you place a large order that needs to be filled in a short period of time, you could cause a price increase, and if someone is willing to bid higher it means you will end up getting fewer shares than what you anticipated.

What I expect willi to do is to wait 3 more days before firing that mega order since we are expecting a difficulty drop, also try to split the order into smaller batches between asicboost and non-asicboost and probably spread the duration over 5 days if possible since the average total hashrate available on NH is about 700PH combined, by placing a fixed order at 500PH can easily trigger price increase.

[willi9974]

mikeywith thanks for your feedback and yes i split the hashpower over all marketplaces from nicehash 6-8 Orders (i think)
the group member decide to fire 500 phs in 24h so we burn 2,5 BTC in 18-24h, depend on the price grows with our rentals
yes the retarget of the diff in ~3 days i have in my eyes, but it looks like only a drop of ~1% (https://www.bitrawr.com/difficulty-estimator)

will be an interesting thing and i am looking forward to it
but today i start first a normal 30phs rental in the next minutes...

Bitcoin Block Party || Group Run A --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5378355.0

I messaged Willi before starting this.  He is not opposed to someone running another Block Party, but please be clear: this is not sponsored by Willi.

CK, if you don't want me to post this here, please delete with my apologies.

Nothing against you kaulfuss, but you are  a relativ new user to this forum and it seem's that you are just get registered for joining willis group buys.
So I have to point out that for any user, who now wants to join kaulfuss group buy, will be at high risk of loosing the btc eigther on a "new" user or bad luck in the run itself.
I would recomend any of you to use a "well known" user doing group buys, where the trust is a bit higher and it is unlikly to loose your btc before the run even starts.

REMINDER:

According to the problems of the user banche_plus, I did setup a passthrough to solo.ckpool.org
on my server, located in germany, and if someone got problems of connecting to the pool from
his country, he can try this:
stratum+tcp://rfpool.org:3334
Your setup is like at solo.ckpool only the URL has to change to the passthrough.
This get relayed to solo.ckpool.org:3333 and you can check your data on solo like normal.

Maintanace coming soon:
on 27.12.2021 18:00 UTC I will upgrade the server to a the actual debian.
All miner on the paththrough are advised to have a failover configured, so no loss in shares ocure for them.
As I don't know how long it will take in the end to setup all new options I had planed, a minimum of ~2-3 hours downtime has to be expected.
If something went wrong, or there is a delay, I will post it in this thread if needet.

Mine on

No worries.  I understand.  Yes, there is always risk involved with a group buy.  I'm not sure if there is a way to check on this information, but I was a registed user before but had to reregister since I hadn't posted before.  Again, though, I do understand the caution.

UPDATE:
Since this is an early run, and I am a fairly new user, Willi has volunteered to provide a mining address.  The Group Run Wallet Address above will not change, but if we hit a block, the reward will go to Willi's address.  This way an established user can oversee that portion.  Just a reminder, though, this is a risky endeavor, and we may not hit a block.  Thanks, Willi.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

[Hashedbet]

As others mentioned above, you still will struggle to get people interested as you are a new user.

Even with Willi managing the mining address, you are still in control of the original funds that would be used to pay for the rentals.

And if there is that much interest where a 2nd group is needed, I'm sure willi can run it and monitor it alongside the main group it has no restrictions where he can't run multiple groups.

I'm not saying that you are a fraud or insulting you, but a new account with such determination to run another group does smell very fishy and I probably am not the only one to think so.

Anyways good luck, if others are willing to risk I guess you will manage to form a group.. time will tell

you got a 4 t

you need a 24.3t i think


today would have been  my grandmother’s 121st birthday 🎂

maybe she will pull a few strings for you to hit 2 blocks.

It seems 500PH doesn't even scratch the surface of the pool's resources as things are humming along smoothly.

Code:

00:02:46 up 592 days, 42 min,  6 users,  load average: 0.35, 0.27, 0.23

Good luck guys.

Con ...

Was this the OpenSource Code that was releaesed a while back from you? Or a different one altogether?

I am more than happy to set aside a VPS in our CWI InfraStructure and run it until such time it doesn't. If it is easy to setup the Pool, it can be done reasonably quickly and I can allocate the resources this week to do so.

It is a sad thing to see such good SoftWare run and not be utilized readily, but the longevity of such a Pool should remain, even if the cost of the resources are continual - costs which we are willing to bear at CWI if this SoftWare will see life again.

Let's see how it goes - Can't hurt to try can it? I don't think there would be a need to rebadge the SoftWare in any way - maybe just state that it is 'Powered By ChainWorks Industries' as a Label of some sort.

Just show me the Git and we can see when we can start it this week.

#crysx

This is a forked version of that open source code, yes. The git is listed on that thread, but there it is again:
https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool-splns/src/splns/

Can't hurt to try? WRONG! It hurts to watch a pool flagging and listening to users desperately pleading for hashers.

Hmmm ...

Thanks for the details mate!

So you think I am Wrong when I mentioned it can't Hurt to try? Well - that is where you and I differ in a chasm of disagreement. You would rather not see people Pleading for Hashers and shutdown any potential of it happening at al, whereas I agree with the pain that attracting hashers will be inevtiable, but I would rather have the option there and open for Miners to at least have open, regardless of it being used or not.

When it is shutdown, there are no choices for anyone, excep tthe ones that are open.

I would like to see how this goes in 2022, no matter what Pool is used to be honest. I am interested in yours so we may give it a go next year.

Options Con, I seriously believe that is what is lacking in this field and I for one will back 'options' than have to deal with having less and less options (and only the ones we see currently). Besides, you Code well and it would be a pity to see good software just shelved

We have the resources/infrastructure - so now we need the pool. Want to do a Joint Effort here?

Thanks Again!

If you really wanted to bring it back to life, laurentia is still up and running, it just needs hashers... At current network hashrate there's no much point running a pool with less than about 400PH.

Opening Cadence

Laurentia Pool operates a locked server and will open mining when committed hashrate offers an average of a blockfind every five days or sooner. Please visit our commitment page, or telegram group to be added to our roster of miners. #mineon

---

So it is either the wrong Site I have searched or it is the Correct Site and an Ample amount of HashRate is required to open it up - as you have suggested.

EitherWay - there is ALWAYS a reason I ask these Questions and ALWAYS a reason why do what I do - especially opening a seemingly 'non-eventful non-viable' Pool System.

I know what is coming - I just don't release it to the Public!

400PH? OK!

Yes that's the one. They never picked up enough miners by my criteria for opening so I  told them to shut it down, but they wanted to hold onto it (in case they did?) so I'm still remotely involved.
