er yep...
at one time Searing was 12 on the all-time list on litecoinpool...and I was as high as FOUR on the daily list...
now look at my standing (sigh)
daily standing is 834 and now my all time standing is 193...
...sh*t changes...but yeah....some folk did have bucks to toss into mining...blew past me they did in the last year or so
(then again..when I was doing this stuff LTC was $4.15 USD.....perspective don't ya know)
Sorry if I'm still starry-eyed here, but this is really fascinating to me. It is difficult to fathom the scale of a single node investing so much. That hash rate is roughly equivalent to 24,000 Antminers. There's gotta be a big warehouse in china just draining the power-grid or something?
Currently, my ranking is at the very bottom... probably because I am CPU mining. I understand no one can compete without special hardware these days. At my current rate, I'll have a penny's worth of LTC in about a week!
So what got you into mining Searing (if you don't mind me asking)? Did you get into mining for profit or was it more of an interesting hobby? Currently I'm looking at it as more the latter, because I think I'll really get a better idea of the technology that way.
Regards!
