[∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved!

...

Another effect is also blatantly obvious and that is the effect on the pool's luck.
If a smaller pool has regular bad luck, guess what (yeah I'm sure this level of thinking is beyond your pay grade) that will turn miners away from the pool.


...

I am convinced this also happen to bitminter more then once.  back to back 99.5% blocks a 70% block then  a 97% block

this is when I started asking someone to run a solo pool.  less then a year ago but with my 58 year old memory maybe 13 months ago..

I don't worry about renting pools like nicehash or westhash being used as a middle man as much as I do stealth miners with a proxy attacking pps pools.

Scatter the orders a bit on nice-west hash and odds are you are fine as the risk of renting all from one evil dude lesson quite a bit.

But Ban and f2pool as pps run risks.


At  ckpool solo club members  we have  more then 5.5btc left  but price is high so we are frozen.

order #393756  at westhash 0.89993128 btc left

order #393760 at nicehash  4.62483203 btc left

fixed 5th at least we have action order  #394839  at westhash has  4 hours left (my gift to the club)

I wonder has anyone here ever found a block while renting from Nicehash?

I wonder has anyone here ever found a block while renting from Nicehash?

That's a good question. We should ask all the members here to get an idea.

I rented about 6BTC worth over the past 2 weeks from westhash with zero hits on a solo pool

[philipma1957]

I wonder has anyone here ever found a block while renting from Nicehash?

i found a block on mm.pool.org with nicehash.


we have had more then 1 person win with a nice or west hash rental win blocks here.

However, there is an assumption there that is incorrect.

What you want to be checking is the people providing the miners and if their history is as expected or bad at finding blocks.

When a rental pool provides random hardware from random users, you need to be sure the users are doing the right thing - the rental pool has no control over that.

I agree all you can prove is some miner renting to nice-west hash are doing it correctly.
You can do this because rentals have found blocks.

You can not prove every miner renting is honest.
You can not prove 1% 2% 3% 4% even 10% are dishonest.
More data helps pin things down some what.    

  But you would need 1000 btc of rentals pointed here to have a decent sample size to even think luck is up or down a lot.

the pool has made 50 blocks that is 1250 btc.  So right now I doubt there is enough data to prove a thing.

As for data being good bad or indifferent. I know lot of people have agenda's about BTC or any coin.

I have 3 s-3's mining every thing else is a rental.  I only know those 3 pieces are good.

 To date they have done 5.5 billion shares without a block. so they only have 1/9th of 48 billion shares.  they have run for close to 1 year.

this is part of risk a miner takes.

bad pool op = sometimes
bad seller = sometimes
bad rented hash = sometimes if you rent a shit ton of hash some is lost even if it is lost from latency.

Yes indeed it is all 3.

You need to trust who you use to mine (pool OPs) and who you use to supply miners (sellers and renters)

... and yep I fall under that heading also of who you have to trust if you mine at my pool

yeah it is why the game has become so hard for little guys.

If you mine in house as a home owner 5 kwatts in the summer and 10 kwatts in the winter is a practical limit

so with modern gear 10th to 20 th in a home setup is tops.  best gear does .5 watts  a gh.

so a home miner at 10 cents  with 20 th and 10k makes 665 usd a month after power.

at 11 cents a kwatt  593
at 12 cents a kwatt  521
at 13 cents a kwatt  449
at 14 cents a kwatt  377
at 15 cents a kwatt  305
at 16 cents a kwatt  233
at 17 cents a kwatt  161
at 18 cents a kwatt   89
at 19 cents a kwatt   18

Now I have a point  that relates to a solo pool and renting.

20 th = 18 or 19 s-5's  psu's  so to set this up you are near 8000 usd.

with almost no hope of making a profit.  maybe 33 or 34 btc out of pocket.

I can rent 25th from nicehash 2 days cost 0.5 btc point it here.

if I don't hit a block I am out  0.5 btc after 2 days.

Basically it becomes a better chance for me in the summer  to do that then to  do the mining with s-5's or sp20's

Oh I can point hash here or at kanp's pool which I have  or mmpool.org or f2pool or antpool

tried all of them. Money made  with some pools  and some rentals.

My other option is no renting until Oct 1.

services like nice/west  hash   will stick around for miners like me that can not mine at home for various reasons.
