Yes, your miners must have disconnected from the internet if they did not power off.

Shitty internet then must of Disconnected... son of a gun.. my small miners are at Slush my big miner is over on Antpool :p

You don't have to guess. You nailed it bang on.

23422 - 570904/111674000562=5.11e-6
23421 - 527624/145118640763=3.636e-6
23420 - 473827/78629110635=6.026e-6

For the earliest block you made up 0.0006% of the pool's hashrate (I'm guessing around 60GH/s?). That dropped considerably in the next block, and was still down in the block after that. If I had to guess, I'd say your miner went offline a little more than halfway through 23421, and didn't reconnect until sometime in 23422.

My miner never turned off as far as I know....

I got a reward. Are you sure you were mining at the end of the block?

No reward?

Noobs gunna be nubes, you already knew that part. As far as sheeps and herds, look no further than reddit's r/bitcoin, and there's your answer. Nothing new to see here, move along folks. My bet is won.

I haven't read anything about Chinese pools being bad. In fact, all I hear about AntPool, for example, are good things. I could be wrong, so can you post some links you mention reading (about Chinese pools being a problem)?

I'm always interested in the things on which people base their assumptions. "Chinese pools are bad" is a new one on me so I wanted to see if it was part of a new anti-chinese bitcoin movement or something.

Seems I almost spoke too soon.

Well I'm out on slush pool for now.....except for the week or so of the paycoin POW (at 10x BTC at the time) have been with them from
Oct 18th 2013 with my KNC 550gh Jupiter and made almost exactly 50 btc as a result (still holding boy I'm dumb) anyway just shut it
off on Jan 18th 2015 (could run it a bit longer made a dandy space heater!) but even with that just don't fly to run vs 15c kwh elec
anymore at these prices and difficulty

I'll probably come back IF and I mean a big IF I ever home mine BTC again ..it does not seem likely

anyway thanks slush hopefully will catch your pool again on the rebound in the future with something new btc equip wise

Searing


p.s. I'm sure my 550gh I have just 'yanked' will increase everyones profit from my *ahem* adding to the drop in difficulty
'your welcome' lol

If you have 1thash of power, your payout from f2pool is 0.01097974 per day. With 1thash on power on Slush you will make the same amount with 3 - 4 blocks, depending on pools power and the luck. Apart from the last week, and only the last week, I've made approx .03 - .04 btc per day from Slushs pool. This is not even over a 24hr period. From BFA you will stand to make .012 btc per day and that is not including the bonus if I recall correctly. Sure power to pay scales the higher you go, but like I said, for a small user, you will be slaughtered with power bills running a miner 24hrs a day to earn <$2.50 USD per day. For what, a pool which quite likely insta dumps the btc they find. The pay on Ghash.io is also far too poor to be effective. Honestly I've had better overall luck at MMpool than I have at any of those big dominating pools. Sure you get consistency but its such minute amount its not worth it at all.

I may have made a mistake about ghash.io being a chinese pool, I bought two miners from a local here(who was chinese) and he mined ghash.io because "they're a chinese pool". It took him 6 months of mining ghash.io 24/7 with 2.25thash to break even with his miners cost, this does not include power. This was factoring in my purchase off him too.

I've read here many times that those Chinese pools are a problem. I don't think btc is being treated the way it was intended to be. Its severely abused. Especially when you can find miners being dumped on eBay from China as "Brand new" when you know they have been thrashed and run non stop for who knows how long.

Newbs gunna be noobs? Sheep follow herds?  What kind of answer are you seeking here? Because I bet it will be at least as interesting as the ones you were quoting.

No, not close. Not even chinese-ish.

Is Ghash even Chinese?

SargeR33, can you explain the following comments?

What other currency are you mining?

Unless you have big power, any of those chinese pools are going to pay very poorly. I switched my miners back on today, and lucky I got in on 3 blocks found today after a slow painful week.

I've been mining another currency at the moment which when converted to BTC pays better than mining any of those junk chinese pools.

If you support those chinese pools(f2pool, ghash, btc china etc) you're part of the problem btc is facing. Get out of there.

Ghash.io has more hash power, so there will be less variance. But will you make more in the long run? I doubt it.

Note that this person is running an experiment comparing Slush and Ghash.io real world profitability for two months. It's probably too early to call a winner, but so far Slush is ahead:

https://bitcoinsfaq.wordpress.com/2014/12/19/bitcoin-mining-2-longtime-slush-and-ghash-mining-pool-race-started/#more-93

It's interesting that Slush is ahead even with some pretty bad recent dry spells compared to Ghash.io which is at 40 some odd petahash and as a result is popping blocks on a regular basis.

I know that past luck cannot be a measure of future performance. But there certainly seems to be an anecdotal sense from a number of different sources that Ghash.io is less profitable with 0% fees than some other pools that have fees, like Slush.
