I only have 4 S1s and i replaced them with S3s a while back... not convinced it was the best move if i'm honest lol... the S1s i'm sure were cheaper to run per Ghash! all running off a 1200w PSU

How'd the S3 die?

Not 100% sure heavy plastic burning smell and some smoke from the inside plugs on top are fine no burning so I guess its been something on the board that's burned out need to pull it open and have a look see.

I have x6 running from a total of 2500W
X1 Corsair RM1000x
x1 Corsair RM850
x1 XFX 650

Sounds like fun - my 4 S3s are all running from one 1200w (AX1200) soon to replace all the cables with custom made ones - found the genuine ones to be running too thin cables (been running that same PSU pretty much 24/7 for atleast 4 or 5 years!) so thought it deserved a treat 16awg wires.

We're all munching those numbers in the hope of hitting that willy wonka's golden nonce to the crypto factory!

Come on solo pool crack us another winner!

edit..

"hashrate15m": "8.06P"  pools got some new power I think!

Only like 60% of difficulty, but still a big share for sure.

[RoadStress]

It's as CG says here, it is only for bragging rights, but if you wish to know what a good best share is then the following explanation will help you understand better.

After 100 shares, on average your best share should be 100.
After 1,000,000 shares, on average your best share should be 1,000,000.
After 1,200,000,000,000 shares, on average your best share should be that too, meaning you should have found one block with it. That's why on average it takes current diff number of shares to find one block.

If your best share is less than the total number of shares you've contributed, then your luck is a little low, and vice versa. It has absolutely zero bearing on your chance of finding an ultra lucky best share in the very next share, but it's interesting to watch nonetheless.

Nice info.

What is the difference between bestshare and bestever?

Bestshare resets for everyone any time a block is found by anyone in this pool. Best ever doesn't.

Yeah, but when those big shares appear its almost like a block.
You were kind of lucky, but not enough.

Every share that is more then 100bill, is like that.
Well for me, for sure.

Ive been solo mining for the past 2 years, from time to time.
And I've only had a share more than 100bill, 5-6 times.

Dammmmm..     21.39% The Diff has been rising at a crazy rate since 4th June. 
Look at the jumps before jumps in the prior 5 months to this in the 2nd table.

We only see one time where we have double-figure jump in this period was back in January at 16.54% now look at the jumps above if the difficulty is adjusting up for the additional hash rate why is it now jumping at higher s% than previous even though the hash rate change is still equivalent and yet we are seeing hash rate jump on and off bitcoin on almost a switch.

Could the Diff be manipulated in some way to make it spike like this if you look at some charts of the Diff we are moving up at such a rate now it's incredible to look at.

I think it has more to do with the exponential growth of high-end ASICs and a $998.99 BTC vs a $6,051BTC. Everyone wants some "magic internet money".

Indeed, and the return of a lot of hashrate that was dumped onto mining shitcoin cash instead. A lot of new hashrate may have been initially directed at cash instead for a while and has now started mining real bitcoin.

ouch... someone just hit a bestshare for the round of 1.24T.  Few hours ago before the diff adjustment this would have been a block
