I did, you're the politically (in)correct "chinaman" guy
Quick recap : you started mining 2 weeks ago and then your unique view on the interplay of the market + this pool's size + the "chinaman"s enormous hashing power, convinced the "chinaman" to leave this pool?
To go where? To mine elsewhere for less profit? I don't get it.
(also, maybe he's simply no longer listed in the stats but still mining away)
I didn't claim to convince him of anything. It wasn't as profitable for him as mining litecoins. He posted that in the same place he posted he had 4000mhs. If he is not being listed, than h20 is being dishonest and reporting inaccurately but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't even need a pool with the amount of power he has. He's paying 0% fees mining litecoins. That alone is 3.5%+ margin.
Anyway, a new miner is on with about 200mhs who has only been on 5 days. It could be the commotion going on in this thread earlier about the newer addresses being more profitable lead him to try this under a lower load to see what's going on. His decision is going to be profit-driven.
