Topic: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com - page 319. (Read 829922 times)

270 is one of the best for the $. They use little power, and they run very cool.

For the cost, you can substitute a $4 milk crate instead of a case, a PSU like the seasonic 860 goes for $185, and you can even find 270's for $180.

I just checked the graphs and there is a MASSIVE Dip in hashpower, almost asif it dropped down to half my hash rate power for an hour or 2?

Whats going on? Half way into Monday now I thought there was going to be a fix in the D/C. Seems to still be happening

I also hear my rig drop in FAN- RPM and rise again Numerous times - This is telling me that temperatures drop below the AutoFan setting of 70c which again means my Rig is not in full use. Mot likely because of D/C & re-connects and various other things

Do you have a secret to building cheap rigs? I'm not being sarcastic, just really wondering how it is possible to build a 4x270x for under a grand.  by my calculations:

4x270x Rig   
ram   $25.00
processor   $42.00
mobo   $60.00
psu   $210.00
hd/memory stick   $20.00
# of gpus   4
gpus total cost   $800.00
hardware (rig/case)   $30.00
adapters   $30.00
   
   
Total   $1,217.00
$/KH   $0.68

Always interested in info regarding cutting down costs on rig building.

Considering 3x290x rig in comparison:
3x290x Rig   
ram   $25.00
processor   $42.00
mobo   $60.00
psu   $210.00
hd/memory stick   $20.00
# of gpus   3
gpus total cost   $1,887.00
hardware (rig/case)   $30.00
adapters   $30.00
   
   
Total   $2,304.00
total KH   $2700
$/KH   $0.85

so actually seems to be cheaper builds on the 270s, obviously costs would go down with more cards, if u compare 7 cards u get:
7x270x = $0.61/KH
7x280x = $0.66/KH
7x7950 = $0.76/KH
7x290x = $0.80/KH

I find this interesting, I had just assumed that 280x was best due to everyone saying it was next best to 7950s.  Obviously this doesn't consider power consumption, but i believe the 270x are pretty light on power anyway.  But obviously you would need a lot more cards to make up the same hashing so maybe power consumption is a big factor.

that's some sick hash right there.
That would be about 26 mining rigs with 4 R9-270x cards in each. (about 25k worth of hardware)

Here's the proof that was private messaged to me that shows H2O is scamming and taking much higher than 3% fee:



I've mentioned to someone for a few weeks now that MiddleCoin is starting to have the earmarks of a pool scam, like ArsBitcoin and Bonus Pool have done.  (Look up threads on Burning Toad or Clipse for more info, or I can find the threads if you like...)

I see even more earmarks lately.

H2o can clearly run a pool.  But, suddenly, he seems to not be able to run a pool anymore.  Two servers even running completely different configs.  Clipse pulled this same stuff.
(Actually, i wouldn't be shocked if Clipse has returned as H2o, but I haven't investigated that possibility...)

Suddenly MiddleCoin isn't even mining the most profitable coin.

Ridiculous accusations you say?

Here's my typical farm on MiddleCoin:

Here's a rig pointed the past week or so at MiddleCoin, but sneakily using a different wallet (nothing wrong with this, but I wanted to see if the two graphs would differ):

http://middlecoin2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/reports/137Y2XKQH9qHRDPL5dBNq7xUL3XSeL9uPg.html

As you can see, in the past few days they really look different.

My farm's unexchanged is actually going down (after H2o "fixed" some DB error whatever), while the single rig is going up.

Look at the previous days' graphs, they all look similar.  Until the past few days, and the past 24 hrs especially.

I did this split rig deal as my graphs were looking quite different from the pool's total graph.  Unexchanged was going up, while mine would flatline.

And yup, move a rig to a different wallet address, suddenly it looks better.

New wallet?  Give it a better payout.  Bait them to stay, make them think higher payouts will come.  Then lower them cleverly after a few weeks.

Seen this before.  And I'm seeing it again.

It's a scam pool.  Same people defending it tooth and nail right now will be the same ones crying foul when H2o splits with hundreds of BTC (which by the end of the yr, will be valued at millions $ or so...)

I just got this spat at me by the EU server:

a bunch of rejects
rejected (Job 'DOG_a2' not found)

DOG?  Isn't it on LTC? That's what H2O said he switched it to

That guy a crap-ton of hashing power (150,000 hash rate) Obviously he knew it was time to leave.
(and his graphs look like my farm, instead of like my single rig/pool graph.  His mining wasn't following what the pool was saying either)

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
