Great video.  I subscribed.  Nice to see someone giving out easy to understand mining info without a hidden agenda or crazy speculation.  I've been GPU mining since July and I think ASIC is the next logical step. I will keep watching.  And ironically I have read a bunch of posts in the pool section on this site about zpool's payouts being lower than they should be.  There are a lot of accusations and theories but the most popular one seems to be that if you want to be paid out in a currency that isn't bitcoin, the pool converts the coins you mined into bitcoin, then back to the coin you want to be paid out in, even if its the coin you mined.
Awesome thanks for watching and subbing Cheesy / That's pretty interesting, which could equate for some obvious profit loss, where have you been mining and how have those results been?

i dont think so.  I'd just buy these man.  These are high cfm and solid build.
I’ll definitely check them out, see if I can get one in place of where my other 3 are

Buy these bro:  BEST bang for the buck as far as ventilation is concerned

Sale right now I bought 4 more for backups.  I have 3 houses with 3 in each for massive airflow =)
You think that I could swap the actual fan component with this fan?

I've had freaking 2 of these die on me, almost one failure per month, I've made a couple adjustments on the first one that went down so hopefully that will solve that issue . .

Love the vids man, I subscribed.. will try to remember to like and comment and all that extra stuff that increases earnings (I think)

Would love to see a vid of the outside of the shed and giving a full tour of everything.. Not sure if I want to make a shed as well or alter my barn, I live in a super hot climate so it's going to be tough anywhere I go. Currently in the house, using the home office. But it is unbearable to be in there.. dealing with the fan noise/heat.
If definitely does man and I also saw your comment so thanks for that ! That's high on my to-do list for you guys, again there's other members here with much much crazier setups than mine but mine is. .  functional I would say xD lol

Yeah I certainly understand that my garage used to be a stagnant baking 100 degrees when I was mining in it a few months ago, will get the shed series up asap!

@beepxbeep thanks Cheesy

@korriban thanks and really appreciate the sub!

Vosk,

Nice vids, love the channel. Best of luck. I like that you gave Zpool and Granat-gas pool a shot. So as of current, whom have you pointed your miners to? I know you had originally been a fan of prohashing.
Thanks man I really appreciate that Cheesy

I certainly like prohashing still, but uptime has been an error plaguing them for months now . .

I would definitely recommend granat-gas as my preferred pool to mine on with prohashing as my backup pool and nicehash as that backup pool

Hey guys I've finished my video on my overall x11 mining pool comparison along with what I'm currently making with my Bitmain Antminer D3. Again these tests are limited time frames because well . .  the x11 market has been changing rapidly. . pools discussed are prohashing.com, granatgas.pool.info, nicehash, zpool.ca
