Today Bitcoin has been live for 11 years!

This would be a good day for another block.

For sport.. Power in UK on average around £0.155/kWh..
My lickle S17 eats around 2.6kWh.. So an hour of mining = £0.403..
1 day of mining = £9.672..
154 days of mining = £1,489.49..
Just need a 0.23BTC share of this next block to break even..! :-D
COME ON BLOCK YOU'RE BECOMING A PAIN IN THE BUTT.

And that's not even taking into account paying off the capital costs/shipping/VAT of buying the miner in the first place.

Mining in the UK is a lost cause really.

Come on blockbuster!! Got to get this thing done before the halving!

Bitminer needs some more hashrate.   44 days shifts are crazy!

Also, the following needs to be corrected..

Work is measured in proofs of work. Each proof of work is given a score equal to one divided by the difficulty at the time it was submitted. Proofs of work are grouped in shifts. A shift is completed when its total score passes 0.1. <---   its at 28.0 now and still shift 1.

[MrZipster]

This block is killing the pool :-(
Wish the %age would just go up, so there was a vague idea how long we might wait.
255 days is crazy :-(

[MrZipster]

Awh, 268 days :-(
Out of interest, is it possible to just "abort" and walk away from the block?!
Or do things not quite work like that :-D
Are other pools working on the same block at the same time?
Over time, is the chance of the block being "stale" increasing?

We aren’t working on the same block for 268 days. Everytime the network gets a block solved we essentially have to start again. On average a block is found on the network every 10mins. When that happens the “hash” that we have to calculate changes, so we essentially start again. It is purely down to luck that one of the workers on the pool will find the correct hash for each block every 10mins or so.

[MrZipster]

Alright, gotcha, so in the 268 days, 38k-ish blocks have been found, but we've been pipped to the post by others finding them first?
