I am kind of bummed because one of my miners glitched out and it was only mining at 20% speed for 4 shifts. A whole day went by before I noticed. UGH

Hey Doc, at what point does it no longer become viable for you to keep Bitminter going? Based upon 8 blocks a month, in fees, you're making less than $100/block. I'm sure in time and resources, it costs much more than that to run the pool. Do you do it out of your good heart or maybe the advertisements you run make it worth it?

A quick back of the napkin calculation tells me that for a 12.5 BTC block not including transaction fees, DrHaribo takes home 0.125 BTC per block. If BitMinter averages 8 blocks a month, DrHaribo takes home 1.0 BTC a month. That is certainly more than $100/mo, but I would agree that it is likely below the break-even point even if you include transaction fees.

Oops. Meant less than $100/block, not month.
$600/mo. may pay the hard costs with low cost VPS/self managed dedicated servers. Considering the time expenditure for keeping things running, it's probably a loss.

As do I, this is the only pool I mine to currently, less than 100GH/s, but hey at least I'm still mining!

Certainly is a big one. But we've always got through it. Hopefully a couple of greens will follow in quick succession *crosses fingers*

Could this possibly be the first 100% block? Is that even possible? or does the world end?  Cheesy

I don't think that is possible as we don't know where 100% is. Smiley
