It will clear automatically.  I'm not sure if it's 30 minutes or an hour

Ugh... I'm going through withdrawals... Must refresh stats...

[jeecom]

Is this the longest number of days we have waited without a block?

Right about there yep.

[nazzer]

I'm getting block withdrawal syndrome ...

Right about there yep.

My wife's been heckling me saying you guys are going to kick me out for joining and bringing bad luck.

So it's your fault!  No 500+% block, that would mean our luck as a whole would be worse than the Cleveland Browns!

40 more S9's on the way... (march batch)

I share your optimism.  I wish I shared your bankroll.

Good luck on your dedicated mining endeavors.

it's a business........

i paid my dues, i'm tired of dealing with clients and lawyers day in, day out. crypto is a lot more fun............

Amen to that

Sorry guys. We’ve only found one block since I’ve joined. It’s clear who the problem is.

Are we leading up to the part where we draw lots and throw someone overboard?

I assume no cell phones at work?

You are correct.

In this case, you will need to set up the mining facility at your work location.

Don't I wish I could lol

If you mine through MRR you add latency to your shares.
This means higher rejects and an equivalent higher chance of any blocks you find being stale.

As I've mentioned before, I block Rentals for a number of reasons.
I've managed to hit MRR in those blocks recently.

There's a thread I created about the risk of rentals a few years ago also:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1002086.0

To be blunt, I do understand how to very easily withhold blocks and never be detected on any pool ...
... so yeah I'm sure I'm not the only person on the planet who understands that ...

As I said in IRC the other day, on this subject:

it's to the financial advantage of people renting out their hardware to withhold blocks - they get paid no matter what happens
altcoins are scams and most people are involved with them, so it makes no sense to think that rentals would not do something to their own financial advantage
renting risks a loss to everyone mining on the pool - so I block it

I'm not the only one then 

My first week back we found 4 in a weekend. Wasn’t even close to full ramp. I’m thinking a weekend like that is in store. Dance dance dance.

Did not know that, no more proxy mining for me :O

Hes implying that the pool can find a block, he claims it and no one knows. 100k plus.

No one can do this.

Please understand what block withholding means before making stupid comments.

Care to clear up why you deleted this quote?

Because it was what I thought it might mean when you first posted it, you didn't read what I typed and then responded with what you wrote.

The word is "withhold" not redirect.

Edit: so I just deleted all the posts about it except one and my reply.

Par Avion - I don't know how many people I speak for on this pool/forum   Please leave.  You have been nothing but an idiot complaining.  I read posts quickly, and I come across general questions answers and opinions, then I read a really stupid negative one, and just for fun, because I really never look to see who posted it, on the negative ones, I see your name... ALL THE TIME

Maybe it was you that brought bad luck?  When did you join?

Others, please Register your vote - to Kick or not to kick  :-)

I wonder if cryptostar makes a profit

[AerialGopher]

UGG.  I just did the calculation for electrical usage at my new floating rate for Feb.  will be close to 670.00 cnd to run 7 S9's and 1 big fan to extract heat..  Think of all the natural gas I am saving on though.

looks like it will be 7810 kWh and also the 600 or so I use for the other stuff in the house. So  yeah,  I think a jump from 600 kWh to 8400kWh will probably end up with a phone call or a ring of the door bell  :-)

If I am doing the math correctly, that is like 7 cents USD per kWh?  That is incredible!  Which province are you in?

Alberta  .05183 cents for electricity,  .010047 Distribution, .019463 Transmission  plus tax 5%,  Total is .085407 cnd
I assume 1100 kWh per S9 and 110 kWh for the fan I have extracting the heat.  These are per month.  ( I used a meter for a while and calculated the monthly /30 day rate )

EDIT: There is fixed fees of like 0.47 per day for local access fee  maybe some toher fixed fee, but those are constant even if I dont use any power, the above is what is extra becuase of the miners.
These are residential rates, the distribution and transmission fees go down on commercial rates,  probably by 1 cent total, and get a bit more on the higher commercial plans.  Although the daily fees go up a bit,  you will still pay less if you use enough electricity though.  Easy in this business.


Back in December the rate was .03996 for the electrical portion. Distribution and Transmission was the same.

[jeecom]

That's really incredible.  I am paying 16 cents USD per kWh until end of April, and then for summer it increases to 23 cents USD per kWh.
