According to this bitcoin calculator ( http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php), I should be getting 4.53BTC/day. I have 1100MH/s split up in the following manner: 5850 - 265MH/s 5850 - 265MH/s 5770 - 172MH/s 4650 - 22MH/s 5870 - 370MH/s I'm mining with deepbit.net, and recently changed from PPS to Proportional. I haven't had a machine go down at all over the last 48 hours, and have been watching the "BTC in last 24 hrs" counter on the deepbit website. It's been down as low as 2.96, as high as 3.68, and mostly in the 3.10-3.20 range. Right now, it's 3.30. Why the large discrepancy between what I am getting and what the calculator says? Just bad luck? I would expect luck to even out quickly in such a large pool. It just doesn't seem right... Has anyone else done this sort of analysis on their own mining? |

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Deepbit had some brief downtime today. That might account for some of the discrepancy.

Even in the previous 24 hours, it never went above 3.68.  |

3% fees, bad luck, and downtime all conspired against you.

Has anyone else done this sort of analysis on their own mining? Yes a few times and mine over a longer term (a week for example) and has always come in about what I'd expect. Over a day the sort of variances you're seeing aren't unusual even in a large pool. Apart from the "real" luck you might also be happening to view the stats at times of day that don't look so good because of a long round either (or both) sides of the 24 hours. |

Deepbit had a unluck of 33% there, no way to change that.

May I recommend BTC Guild? It's in California and the Pool owner is pretty awesome and friendly. Fairly new with growing pains but it should get better fast. |

So many people, starting mining...
With very little knowledge of how things work...
I think this is bad sign for everything...
These people will not stop mining...
When cost of mining > profit...
That day is fast approching gentlemen...

Look at the Statistics page for current luck situation. We had 33% worse luck yesterday. Now it's already normal. |

Btw you should be getting a lot more from your 5850-s. Somewhere around ~340 Mh/s with just clocking the core to 900Mhz, which for most 5850-s doesn't require increase in voltage  |

Yes, and with difficulty expected to rise 50% soon, mining is going to come to an end for a lot of people. |

MSI afterburner won't allow it, that is for sure. I think it stops at 800MHz and I run at 775MHz without difficulty at 291MH/s with Phoenix 1.48. |

Yes, and with difficulty expected to rise 50% soon, mining is going to come to an end for a lot of people. Unfortunately most of them probably don't know it. It may take some time for some of them to figure it out, and some probably won't. Those types will (hopefully) get frustrated or bored eventually. Then there are the believers who run the hardware despite profit just to add something toward secure the network, though I'm sure they are quite a smaller percentage currently. |

I have an XFX model [basically reference but a little better cooling ... some pipes and a fan]. I'll report back if it gives me any trouble Thanks again. EDIT: It worked. I couldn't push it to 900MHz with Aero running, but I switched to basic. I lowered my memory clock to 800MHz and am running the core clock at 850MHz and getting 320MH/s, so I am happy with that. The temperature is sitting nicely at about 76C and fan ~60%, so I am going to stick with that for now |

I believe that calculator gives you a very rough estimate of of the probability of solving blocks while mining solo in a totally static environment, but I could be wrong. I'm under the impression that it is kind of a "best case" estimate.

Yes, and with difficulty expected to rise 50% soon, mining is going to come to an end for a lot of people. Does a 50% increase in diffuculty directly translate to 50% increase harder to mine? So 2BTC/day would go to 1BTC/day? What's the proportion? |

Yea, think so. |
