Power wise it looks like the S5 is better suited for my needs. Spondoolies are great but suck power like crazy.

I know it's 1.1TH vs 1.7TH but the S5 uses half the power. So surely that must be more profitable.

The pool is still over 10PH. The VIP accounts must be greedy today.

haha S1's those are dirt cheap on ebay I seen a few go with power supplies for like $75 worth it just for the PSU but I dont think I would mine with the S1 unless your getting free electricity they are going to burn more than they make.

S3+'s are going for around $100-$150 even seen a few of those go for like $90 at ebay

The S5's are ridiculous at ebay people selling them for $430-450
which is nuts because you can get them direct from bitmain for $370

Gawminers is selling used S4's for $475 I just bought 2 on sunday they will be here tomorrow got my fingers crossed hoping they are in good shape. I dont trust gawminers after their whole paycoin mess. Have a suspiscion they are liquidating there S4's to cover the loss. Or they are upgrading to S5's

there are a cpl used SP20's on ebay for like $400-$450 I am considering buying one but man those things are power hungry figure 1.7 THS at 1100w where as the S4 puts out 2.2 THS at 1400w
so a used SP20 for $450 + a $200 PSU for 1.7 or a used S4 for $475 built in PSU until gaw miners runs out of them ofcourse. Also hoping they are batch 2 and not the batch 1 with the PSU meltdown issue I bought them on my credit card so i have some protection from the CC company I will do a follow up tomorrow when fedex drops them off  and i figure out what batch they are. If all is well will probably order a couple more.

   

Damn someone needs to seriously look into this 10+PH long block issue every single time the pool crosses 10PH these long block times appear. I am not the only one noticing this. it makes absolutely no mathmatical sense what so ever. Unless the pool just cant negotiate the traffic at higher than 10PH. 

How much are they going for nowadays?

Yay. Got another cheap S1 on its way. Every little helps.

Crap!!  It's just popped 10PH.  Streak over.  Watch this one, 15 hours at least.

6 blocks in 9 hours

Don't jinx it!  Umm...   Stupid pool, hours again!  There, that should balance things.

Lucky day so far 

I have not mined on slush for over a year and I am glad I tried it out again as  it looks like a good day today so far.

Edit:  5 Blocks in the last 6 hours. Nice!

Kano it was not just that it happened for a short time period (as if I had been paid on time with my payouts set for 2 hours) but due to the fact the pool did not make payments for over a week+ so it effected a larger amount. Also when the payments went the other way when the difficulty went down... how many would have noticed their pending payments going up?? heck that is what most expect to see a increase when they mine on a PPS pool, so unless you were watching the moment of difficulty decrease nobody would notice this larger increase in their pending payment.  Since payments have been so delinquent people are watching them closer now than ever.  Also I have seen my pending payments in the past go up sometimes due to the pool fixing payments that were missed or not done right or payments that did not go thru, but once again nothing is said so most never know what happened.  ( this rant was to answer why or how nobody came forward or notice when the difficulty went down and they may have received more pay than they should)  These are things that should be fixed with out submitting a "ticket" and sounds like s0br has done this.

The 10% bonus was stopped on December 24th of last year. It went to a 4% bonus and then after the New Year it became 1%.

That's strange, s0br advertises 10% in his sig...........

... so the result of aurel57 and myself questioning that "miscalculation" of shares that was grossly in the favour of BAN ... i.e. every time there was a diff increase BAN profited from it (it was not in their favour the few RARE times there was a diff decrease) ... the result now is that they've repsonded and said they'd fix everyone's payouts rather than only those who knew about it and submitted a ticket.

Fuck ... I've caused a problem now

Moved my response to the BAN thread
