Mining with an Antminer S1: Difference between Cex.io and BTCGuild

[ContractHashing]

While this is not going to a long post, we mined with Antminer S1s to BTCGuild for about a month and received around .0215BTC per day per Antminer. With Cex.io, we are generating about 0.026BTC per day. While it is not that much of an increase, the multiple payout addresses and easy in-site trading with CEX.IO has to put it above BTCGuild in our opinion!

Interesting post.  I'd love to see how p2pool compares if you are up for more experimentation.

We are getting more shipments of Antminers in next week, so stay tuned and we will post the revenue with p2pool!

Great!  That's the pool I'm most interested in switching to long-term.

Related: were your payouts with cex.io fairly consistent or erratic?

How did you account for the change in difficulty?

I'm assuming they had 2 antminers.  Of course, their 1 month period, if it was done as of their post or within a day of it includes the worst luck BTC Guild has had since it started tracking luck beyond difficulty boundaries 7 months ago, making it the worst 1-month period in BTC Guild's recorded history for luck.

You are correct with the antminers. Although, we only had one antminer in the time frame of the month of february. As for difficulty, even though the difficulty rose, our payouts got higher with Cex.io. We did notice that BTCGuild was only mining around 3-5 blocks per round.

Agreed with ContractHashing...I also noticed the same behavior, ghash is best so far..
