It would be nice to be able to buy something to add to my hashrate soon.  I used to add something whenever I got a little ahead but it's been a while since we could buy anything at all.  Now with equipment failures my hashrate is heading in the wrong direction.  I refuse to pay the insane prices listed on eBay!

It's time for a BLOCK PARTY!

We finally cracked that damn block!
Oddly enough, it happened about 20min after I opened a Slush act and moved a gimpy 1-board R4 there to test the waters...
No matter why we finally cracked the bastard!

Along the lines of hashrate and failures -- I hear ya. Last Friday I had my 3rd s9 blade go titsup within 2 months. Still have the other dead boards sitting on my desk so that makes 3 to send to Colorado when I get the time... Dead are from a batch-5, 11, and 13
Sooo glad my 2 new A741's should ship from Minerwarze in 4 days!

While checking the block we just found, I found this interesting address in a transaction in our block:
https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1111111111111111111114oLvT2

It's obvious that no one has the private key to it, so no one will ever be able to spend the balance it has, but there's already 60BTC in it that people have thrown away!
One transaction sent to it, from only a couple of years ago, was 40BTC

The hash 160 of that address is 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 too - I wonder if it was some default setting that sent money to it.

Looks like its the burn address for Blockstack, some kind of blockchain based DNS service.

Isn't it essentially free for miners to register names?

No. All registration fees, renewal fees, and namespace creation fees are sent to the burn address 1111111111111111111114oLvT2.

Interesting it was 1st seen in 2010 and is still getting inputs. Last was Nov 2 this year!
Burn address eh? possibly to stock a persons retirement portfolio?

Just noticed that our payout for this block is quite a bit higher due to the lower average pool hashrate...that's the good side of the double-edged sword!

[qrnode]

Nice payout... I'm liking the small pool.

Should be getting one before morning on Saturday, just playing the odds.

Heh, no, as I implied, it's a "throw away your bitcoins" address.
No one has the private key for it, it's forever lost bitcoins.
The post above yours explains who uses it.

[firetreeactual]

That was the largest single block payout I've ever received in a pool.

Yowza...

OMG is it a block or am i still watching a dream? Wish me good night and i'll go back to sleep)))

So why would someone continue to dump coins to it if they couldn't get to them?

Traveled to Arizona to give the cows couple more hours of life. Chopping block ready for midnight. Dead cow coming......

Did this save the cow???

Dead cow.

Back in the early days here at the Kano pool the payouts were massive...here's mine with only 20TH/s...those were the days

Of course diff was low and blocks were 25BTC

[YabaDabaDoo]

I got 0.10% on last block with my recent upgrade, previous block was 0.06%

[firetreeactual]

Now, if Bitpay can get me the debit card I ordered a month ago...I could put tires on the truck, etc...

BTW...I was wrong on the "largest ever." I got larger rewards back in Mar/Apr when I was running more machine than the breaker would handle...then the pool rate went up, and yada yada...I'd forgotten with all the excitement. I actually have less machines online, but making more.

Mine on.

If things are right in the world we should be seeing another block soooooooooooon. 

Block Block Block Block Block!!!! Please

Yep, just playing the odds, we should see something within the next 18-20 hours.

[VRobb]

Even better: At any point in time, you can expect it to take +100% diff to hit the block no matter how much has already elapsed. No memory of the past, right??
