Aye.  So do I, as I have only a little more than you and sometimes see the same thing.  I'm waiting for the next batch of S3+ to be released, when I might consider investing my accumulated BTC, as I don't seem to be using them for anything else.

So I just need more power.

The figure on the web site is only an estimate, back-calculated from the shares submitted.  As the minimum difficulty threshold set by the pool is now 8, which is a bit high for your hash rate (probably 2-3 would be better), it could be that you are effectively under-performing.  That is, where on a setting of 2 you might submit 6 shares and be credited with 12 (6x2), on the higher setting for the same period you may be submitting only 1 share and being credited with 8, even though your farm (vegetable plot?) is working just as hard.

I also find that at certain times of day the peak loading on the internet can slow everything down, with a noticeable effect on my results.

My Hash is (a whopping) 6.63 GH/s however on the my account in Slush it is only: Total average hash rate in last 60 minutes: 4.309 Ghash/s

I was just having fun and i get slammed from several people so yup i dont forget.

Is this normal?  It's been like this for weeks, but I just bothered to check.  I have two antminers and a bunch of old Block erupters.  They are connected to a Raspberry pi with three hubs.  Would I need to separate them out as different miners to get them to work? They worked at "full power" until I added a second antminer.

Thanks!

I would have to say probably a lack of power.  What kind of hubs / Power adapter amperage do you have?

You guys kill me "We are Slush, we do not forgive, we do not forget".

OMG! How dare you mention S1's are next to nothing on ebay... when someone is trying to sell them in this thread, and selling them quite well, and more selling right now as I type!  regardless of your inconsiderate mentions of proper prices.
How uncaring and unprofessional of you! I mean it is ok to bash bitmain for charging too much but if u note someone is seeking 2x todays prices then OMG OMG... red face angry man time.

Yeah I could load up on tons of S1's in my server room but I would put the circuits at too much of a load... sigh!
that is why I went with upgrade kits. although I probably should have just got s3's and sold the s1's even though I would only get around $75 for them at the time... but it is good to know people here will pay $130+

and BTW, I moved some stuff back here so we are going to have 10 hour blocks again. SIGH...
I was staring at it last night and went to do something else, come back check and block block block... each time oh well

Will you guys keep mining even when your electricity is equal to the current exchange rate x rate at which BTC is mined? I think I am going to. I will gladly keep supporting the BTC network in the little way that I can while also hoping for an exchange rate jump in the future...

I look at old threads where people owned thousands of Bitcoins and wanted to sell them for less than $100......................................... I used to have some eGold back in the day (was rewarded it for something that I can't remember) .... if only I had some Bitcoin instead!

As we know, it ought to help not hinder, but it never seems to happen that way.  Perhaps over a longer period, it would go the way that logic suggests.  Problem is, the longer period never happens, because as soon as the blocks start to run dry, all the extra noses disappear from the trough.

Yep, we have seen it time and time again.

^ That is actually a good observation. We get in a good pocket of solving blocks, the hoppers come and "rock the boat" and out of the pocket we go.

Last night I upgraded my Antminer S1's to S3's but left the firmware the same. Later on I upgraded the firmware and set about setting the clock speeds to see what hashing rate I could get.

After nearly 24 hours I have a stable S3 hashing at 499GH/s and one S3 hashing at 466GH/s if I try and push the second one to 499GH/s it starts to show errors so i guess that 466 is its limit.

Anyway that two successful upgrades and here's hoping that they will generate enough to pay for themselves and maybe even make a little on top.

It's great to see that luck is currently on our side but remember every bit of good luck will one day be matched with a similur bit of bad luck. I love mining with Slush and will keep going as long as I can, I have tried GHash and others but Slush is just more fun, I do however keep GHash as my backup just in case Slush goes down, although to date I have never needed to use it.

I am happy to keep mining even though the Bitcoin price is dropping as I am quietly hopeful that one day it will bounce back and when that happens my Bitcoins will be worth something substantial, until then I guess i will just keep swapping electricity for Bitcoins.

In an attempt to help with the electricity costs I have recently invested in some solar panels so as soon as they are fitted to the roof they will pay for about half of my bitcoin energy usage, and i hope to upgrade the solar system later on next year to cover the other half (Happy days!).
