where'd everyone go?  982Th?

Good question. Rental hashes have dried up recently. Odd.

Yeah seems everyone who left, did just before we found the 4 blocks

A sweeter pot for those that stuck around.

Whippee...my part just showed up.           That was a day earlier than I thought. I might have this baby back up before the end of the day. I know 500GH ain't much, but every bit helps.....fingers crossed!

I've (in the last few weeks) yet again reduced my mining.
Now week-daily between 2pm and 8pm (when it's ~50c kWhr) I also switch off the S5 - so almost zero mining 6hrs a day
(except 2GHs on an RPi that I never switch off)

But ... the other day I had a think about it again and realised that between 10pm and 7am every day my elec is actually quite cheap.
... then today I actually bothered to work out what it really is for that 9hrs a day ... 9.3c/kWhr
So for the near future I'm doing ~3.7TH/s from 10pm to 7am every day
and I'll dig around my old hardware and see if there's anything else worth running for that 9hrs a day.

So if you notice I'm not mining on the pool, it should only be that 6hrs a week day

For everything you do for the pool and community, I wouldn't give it a second thought if I didn't see you on the pool. Keep up the good work.

That's a hell of a price variance... from $0.50 down to $0.093.  At least you're going to get 9 hours a day, and at a pretty reasonable rate, too.

I normally get around 10.0c/kWhr for normal use...
but soon found that if you go over a certain amount in a month (over what the power company considers "normal use"), you quickly pay up to 13c/kWhr.
That makes a hell of a difference in your electric bill pretty quickly.

So, I decided to scale down significantly at home & started getting hosted w/ sidehack (gekko hosting), who makes the breakout boards for server power supplies. There's a one-time start-up & miner setup fee, but after that, 10c/kWhr. On the whole, I've been satisfied.

I'm running again!!       Now...I hope my little push will help. COMON' BLOCK!

Yes thanks.
Though I prefer mining to donations coz then we are both getting something back.
I just need to work out how to control luck

Well...What the hell....try a restart @48hr...can't hurt? Oh, heck, it's all luck! No 'Magic Mike'. Bawaaaha.

edit; so serious here. Nobody has a sense of humor anymore. I laughed. No magic,.. mike,.. get it mikestang? Oh well.....trizzle, trazzle, truffle..

Okay sent 0.100 via my coinbase account .

Now take that pay for some of your 50cent  power and point a miner  it at cksolopool

Or point a miner during the 9.3 cent power maybe you can hit a block!

That would be lucky!

My quantum calculations are going great, they are simultaneously a complete success and I have not started them.  I would let you observe my work, but...

Yeah, i know.. i could look at it backwards when its moving though, that's if i can follow them electrons passing over the bits. the problem is, every time you hit a block, and look at it, it never happened. i blame kano looking at the logs all the time. or everyone else for that matter, looking at their logs. you'd be a millionaire by now.

you know, our understanding of quantum mechanics, it in a quantum state. we know what happens, but we know nothing about it!

Seems like Eligius pool likes to hide the truth

They deleted my reply to their libellous post about me in their thread

(and send their miners blocks with empty transactions to speed up their slow pool software ...)

This just shows his ignorance.
Empty blocks minimise your stale shares.
Eligius (and probably most cluefully operated pools) send them as soon as a new block is found, so that you can begin mining immediately.
This is also followed up with an updated block full of transactions that miners can begin working on as soon as they receive it.
If your internet connection is 10 Gbps, the empty block might waste a few bytes of bandwidth and you'll get the full block immediately to begin working on.
If your internet connection isn't so fast, you'll begin working on the empty block, then transition to the full one as soon as you finish receiving it.
Of course, this is assuming you're using optimised software like BFGMiner. It's quite possible kano's cgminer is buggy in this regard and will mine empty blocks even after it receives the full one - I don't know, not my concern.

Well since all the other points have be proven not to be lies by your and anth0ny's replies, I'll just point out about this one.

Anyone need only check the blockchain blocks to see blocks with no transactions in them.

Pools using the eloipool software send out empty blocks ... and yes that includes antpool.

Empty blocks minimise your stale shares.

So do miners really think that a tiny number of stale shares is more important than confirming transactions in the blockchain?

Well, you could always avoid it by using ckpool, that doesn't have this design flaw.

... and of course he infers a lie about cgminer - but wont outright say it - because he knows it isn't correct.

... and the stratum code in the cgminer clone was copied from cgminer - because luke posted on the forum that stratum was difficult to write.

But Kano, their pool is perfect! the mining software is made to the pool, nothing could go wrong!

unlike this buggy ckpool software they cant get working, it doesn't talk properly to their mining software! so buggy, so useless!

now start mining empty blocks! make more hashrate numbers!
