ramp question, is it centered around username, or worker name?

I'm trying to help a friend out who's miners are down, and if I move some of mine over to his username will that keep his ramp up?  I don't know and haven't heard from him what his worker name is so I figured I'd check and see what the ramp is centered around?

Yes, Username and it'll add to his account.  Worker name can be whatever you like, say "Username.whatagreatfriendIgot"

Sure seems to be concerted effort in some mainstream media to disparage BTC...interesting...

C'mon, blocks...gotta pay my hosting bill on the Ice Planet... 

I've had to slap down a few Wall Street Commentators re: Crypto.

Oddly enough, Toby Smith, Jonathan Hoenig and Charlie Gasparino remain my friends...

of course Wall Street Media is against crypto... it's taking their business model, and running off into the wild west of legality land.  Ponzi is as Ponzi does and if you can get away with it so be it.  They hate us.  we get to do what they do, without all the regs.

That said. This block is rough.  I suggest burnt offerings at the 420 hour for luck!

Done...and maybe a couple before the hour...love that license...

Got my 2 WhatsMiner M3s setup in my hosting facility so added another ~20 th/s.

Mining on....

On the positive side, isn't it going to be awesome when we find this block, and the next , and the next, etc is < 100%

We'll think we hit the lottery or some such

Well those last few blocks that we did hit were very small...so this is evening it out.   Luck aside, the next block should be much "better" than this one.

But that is all we have. We can't throw lady luck aside.

If luck doesn't help us hit the curveball, I say FY Joebu...I do it myself.

[Thrash]

I think we are all ready to crack this one. Math says we should eventually even out, so yes, hopefully the next few will fall on the other side of "luck".

Come on block!

[darkstars1]

I have made sacrifices to Tyche and Shai to help us get this block cracked

[Runes911]

Long time for this block, please be ours!!

[dkincaid]

Time? Nope - the first block ever found on the pool was pretty slow coz the pool was tiny.
It was also lucky (less than 100%)

However, Diff% is what matters for rewards, and this one is 542% at the moment.

The 2 largest are there on the Web site Blocks page at the end of October - the largest being 928.788%

Now for that CDF related number
0.99557285335217  542.000%  1 in 225.9
i.e. we expect to average, over time, 1 in 225.9 blocks to be over 542%

Out of curiosity what is the actual number of blocks over 542% since the beginning of the pool? Including the block we're on now we have 4 out of the last 88 listed on the blocks page (or 1 in 22).

Didn't we used to sacrifice anime characters when blocks got long?  Maybe we need to go back to that...

Has anyone tried the Mudokon chant on these blocks yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNgd8TeFp0Y

Can someone tell me what the advantage of the Antminer V9, 4TH/s is?
Looking at the specs,

Antminer V9, 4TH/s       253mJ/MH+10%
Antminer S9, 13.5TH/s  0.098 J/GH +10%  

Can someone standardize those specs for me?

[perfectplus174]

I'm assuming everyone is going S9, however Parallel Miner has in stock Avalon's and S7's (new and used)

The V9 is basically a re-branded S7. Unless you have free power, you should avoid it. The theory I saw is that Bitmain is trying to get rid of their internal mining capacity due to the government crackdown in China, so they're selling them off.

[VRobb]

253mJ/MH = 0.253J/GH

Edit- Ha, for once I beat carl! 

Mine on and crack a block already dammit!!

The V9 is basically a re-branded S7. Unless you have free power, you should avoid it.

The V9's efficiency is 0.257 J/GH +10%, not even in the same ballpark as the S9 with 0.098 J/GH +10%.  Notice how they went with a different set of units so you couldn't do a direct comparison?

To be fair, the V9 isn't supposed to compare with an S9. If you're talking all out efficiency, the S9 takes the cake.....and is priced accordingly at almost 8x the initial cost. ROI should also be taken into account, not just power consumption. 

The cost of electricity for different areas as well and may not be as big of a factor for some, if any at all (solar).

Also, don't rule out the reward price in BTC at market value.

My main point is that we all mine at different levels with different factors involved so it's really hard to pinpoint what would/would not work for someone's situation without a better picture of what they were comparing or trying to achieve.

If you were to compare
