We all know the feeling how it sucks to have your farm earning less than 1 BTC per month when it used to earn dozens.  Roll Eyes

i decided to +1 more ant to my order today ..

Order ID: 00120140220151736568JQNfQIF5065A




Even though I know it probably wont ROI I'm tempted to add a second to my order. Addicted to Hash!

eligius works great for me. 5 antminers clocked between 375-400MHz average 990GH

agree... something i went through myself... guild appears to be well optimized as my miners always hash at their maximum being assigned constant amount of shares each round, unlike ghash.io where my miners used to hash 20-30gh lower and variance sucked so badly.. so far guild was rock solid to me.

What made me decide to go with BTC guild?

1. set up your pools like this, first pool pointing at ghash.io, 2nd pool at BTCguild
2. Keep an eye on the shares at BTC GUILD and look at your antminer status overview to see the last dates it used the 2nd pool.

You'll see it regulary switches to btc guild because ghash.io is just instable.

Then turn them around, guild as 1st pool and ghash as 2nd. For me, after quite some time, it still says "never" if you look at when it used the 2nd pool, meaning btcguild is just up all the time.

Besides that, people complaining about fees. Take a closer look. Yes ghash.io is without fee, but orphaned shares aren't paid out. Guild asks fee but also pays out orphaned shares which is usually somewhere along 2% to 2.5%
And bringing up DVC and IXC as argument is also not valid imo because they're worth fck all. You can trade them on cryptsy but then you're left with like 0.0001 BTC which you can't withdraw to another wallet because the volume is too low.

So taking this in account, instable, no orphaned shares payout and useless coins, for me guild is by far the best option.

why this instability happening to ghash. io?  i noticed this long time ago. miners at btc guild working constantly with same speed where on gash. io is jumping between 80-100% of mining power. I noticed as well that difficulty setup by gash. io some this differs from what really should be.

My guess is some sort of "regulation" of hashing power maybe?

After all it is 0% fees right?

I had all my kit on cex for 48 hour
And I was getting .008 per shift
So I moved them back to btcguild and we are now getting .017 per round

That's normal because ghash.io solves more blocks, meaning you get the 0.008 more often than the 0.017. Anyways btcguild is a really great pool and probably the most stable since a long time.

is one pool mining website for BTC, NMC IXC and DVC? where you pool mining?

I think either ghash.io or maybe P2P. I looked up how much the IXC/DVC chunk might be worth... not much. For me I think sticking at Eligius with the 105% NMC is probably about the same or maybe even better?

btcguild gives you NMC, IXC/DVC isn't worth anything.

ghash.io gives you 4 coin merged mining, but afaik you can't even trade the IXC and DVC on cex.io

Merged Mining is on Ghash.IO
You can unload them on Crapsy
Yeah, but if you knew anything about bitcoin, you wouldn't be mining at Ghash.io...
Agreed

What is an acceptable HW error % for an Antminer getting approx. 200 GH and what is the risk of running with a high HW % 24/7 ?  What is so bad about HW errors when your GH is where you want it?

error rate <1% is the ideal. If its more than 2%, at 200GH thats roughly 4GH lost - and so is the energy you are wasting on created hardware errors

Ive had my S1 for 30 days to the day EXACTLY!

total BTC mined 1.13633586
about 8 NMC
about 12 IXC
about 450 DVC

The next 30 days will be interesting to see how close I come to ROI in BTC. I suspect next 30 day will MAYBE be .75 BTC - with selling the alt coins mined with it will probably hit ROI

Then I will unload it

by the way, if you're crazy enough to suffer with an Antminer running in the same room as you where you spend most of your time, I highly suggest setting up wireless and putting the Antminer in another room  Grin

you can get a wireless antenna on ebay for 5 bucks

If he could produce ASICs that Mine and cools the air it would be a big hit! Especially here in Arizona. My Electric bill will hit $400 a month here in about 3 months.

How many TH/s you running?

I live in your State and paid $384 this month. Didnt have to turn the heater on at all but we are a little unseasonably warm.

Regards,

only 270GHs - My Jan bill was $294
It was 87 today and we get as high as 120-125 here Mid summer - Atleast we have the Colorado river to keep us somewhat cool
