ya this sux...I have been gpu mining LTC for last 2 months,,, and this week I went through and cleaned up all my rigs,,, and said I think ill mine on the ol slushs pool for a few days....

Why stop mining LTC with GPUs, while profitability is at 2.25 times BTC?

LTC mining is much harder on hardware. I had a MOSFET on my mobo catch fire while mining LTC. I won't do it now; my unused GPU power will either get sold or turned to an SHA-256 altcoin.

you can buy them for less than $100 now on Amazon now. i was thinking more like 1-5 USD.

Um, from what I can see, only if you buy 30 of them...lol

Or link please. Bitmit has some close to $100, but nothing that I would trust has hit that mark yet.

Well ya could yesterday, there were some for $92.95 + $4.75 shipping, but they are gone now. Tongue

Group buy for K1 Nanos: ~$55 per USB miner:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2805819

thats preorder. dont know why you would do a group buy when its cheaper to buy directly form them
https://bigpicturemining.com/klondike-miner/k1-nano

$49.99 + 4.95 s/h + 75 s/h per extra one
so buying 2 is already cheaper than the group buy. but its pre-order... blah blah

Oh and asic usb miners are $100 on ebay now that is where I was going to buy a few

Buying one saves you $13 in the group buy. Buying 2 saves ~$9. Buying 3 saves ~$8 and buying 4 saves $3.50

For those interested in ROI $13 is a decent savings for one. Even at 2, $9 could make the difference between profitability and loss.

I agree though, over 3 there's no reason to use the group buy.

Hello, I'm newbie here. I just tried this pool yesterday and already produced about 13-15 shares (I don't remember exactly) and then I turn off my miner and go to bed. This morning I saw my estimated reward become zero and nothing at my unconfirmed/confirmed, so what I've mined yesterday is totally useless?

Thanks.

This pool doesnt use Pay Per Share as a reward system, it uses a different system which is a bit difficult to explain as I dont completely understand it, but your reward will quickly drop to zero if you quit mining... This is to combat pool hopping. Leave your miner on through the end of round until a block is found, and you will be paid your reward for that block. Other pools have PPS as options, but the fee is always higher because of pool hoppers... Happy Mining!

I do not think it is very difficult. The value of each share you submit is calculated with the following formula:

score_share = exp(t/C)

where t is round duration in seconds, and C is a constant, currently 200. This means the value of each share is exponentially growing, so old share have significantly lower value compared to recent shares. So if you stop mining while others don't, your part of total pool score for that round will decrease exponentially. You can read the original post about this reward calculation method here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50002.

Additionally, based on measurement I have found that each hour, t is reset to zero and your score is divided by exp(3600/C). This is probably to prevent an arithmetic overflow (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_overflow).

Hope this helps,
T

Yes, saddly, this is not a pool for part time miners. you might want to try btcguild.

i just noticed that it broke thru 25 TH/s

that is the highest i've ever seen the 30-minute average for slush ^_^

gg

It is cuz I added another GPU Miner... I do that and someone adds like 200 Jalapenos!

I feel that way everytime i add a ASICminer stick. Undecided

I was going to buy 4 ASICminer stick yesterday... but first I went to the calculator to see much my monthly BTC would increase.... then I increased the diff from 31256960 to 36256960 and noted it negated 2 ASICminer stick, so every 10 days 660mh/s gets negated... So I decided maybe I should stop chasing the diff. the Video cards I can sell at a profit, ASICminer stick will be useless soon. well to most people! people with 50+ already will love every single one tossed out heh

or sold for cheap. Grin

That's what I'm waiting for. It won't be long before you can get them for $100 or less...

you can buy them for less than $100 now on Amazon now. i was thinking more like 1-5 USD.
