Topic: Anyone mining at ghash.io ? Any anecdotes ? (Read 10907 times)

They have 8 orphaned/rejected blocks out of their last 18

Besides having more than a share of the mining power right now, In my opinion their support is rude.
Still don't like their withdraw fees either.

No, exactly, and at this point, it seems like the operators have enough market power though to fix the market, allowing more people to buy in at the ~0.007 price...

I have been getting a massive amount of duplicates mining BTC the last few days.

multi.ghash.io has been down since approx 1PM BST today? Just me?

Cpuminer has fallen to my backup pool but keeps probing multi.ghash.io for life every other minute. Keep getting "stratum_recv_line failed" on multi.ghash.io

Edit: their support says:


Edit 2: appears to be back online now (4PM).

Yeah I am starting to think that the cex.io system is rigged or just dominated by stupidity. I think it even astounds the cex.io people because they would have priced the May shares much higher if they thought the market would have accepted them.

Currently trading at a 15% discount to GHash, and pays the expected value automatically...just sayin'

Like in real life, I keep my mining claims secret

GHash is a good fallback pool for when the main line goes offline.

It's not profitable because there's too much hashing power for smaller players, under 1TH to make a a comparable ROI as with other pools.  Where I make BTC0.022 with BTC Guild, I make BTC0.0200 which is a 0.002 difference.  After 10 days, you give a whole days hashing for free to GHash comapred to BTC Guild, which I don't mine there anymore either, their stats are boring but probably have the most robust website.  You do get more venues to make money with GHash's merged mining but no one uses anything other than namecoin from merged mining it seems.  The stats at GHash are mostly live but so is BitMinter, who's interface makes Ghash look like it came out of the 70's.

I keep GHash as fallback because I know it will take a lot for them to fail, I can promote as an affiliate and make money trading hashing power.  Although all I want to do is hash with my own equipment, I like the fact of multiple income venues that are available to me.  However, it doesn't warrant the 0.002 daily loss vs. other pools with much lesser hash rate.  I don't mind waiting and get my electricity's worth. I did this test 3 days on 3 random days within 1 week.  They were all the same results so luck has no effect on this test because each has the same chance to get the same (mal)chance as the other.

I also won't promote GHash nor CEX.io, they're too big, I also won't promote anything that doesn't pay me, so....  hint hint other pool owners, offer miners an incentive to gain and keep them.  Don't wait for me to release a pool because I will have one in time and will blow everyone's mind, that's how CEX.io became huge, get affiliates to do all the heavy lifting for you and offer state of the art interface.  

Now I can't change difficulty on my workers 

I had a temporary issue connecting as well. Its too bad no one else merge mines so many other coins. Well, there is mmpool, but I don't want to wait 10 days for a payout.

I'm new to the environment, what do you mean by low returns? GHash is the biggest pool.
Where do you mine? Eligius?

I used it for a while but returns were too low for my liking.

Stats reporting are probably the best though.  Live stats of your miner's GH/s rate.

It's not bad, not great, was not profitable for me.

I am on uk1.ghash, seems to have been an issue but only for some minutes, operating normally now.

Anyone mining on uk1.ghash.io? I just got kicked out and cannot reconnect

They seem down at the moment. Pool speed under 1/20th if their usual.

Does anyone know if its possible to set up idle worker notification on this pool?
EDIT: yes, it is.   found it in the dash options somewhere a few days ago.. can't remember where!

Also I'm a bit puzzled by the concept of multi-coin mining.. if its more profitable than straight LTC mining (and allows auto conversion to LTC for the payout), then what is the point in straight LTC mining?

I heard SXC has been corrected and paid out yesterday.

I am enjoying my experience at Cex.io quite a bit, I moved from BTC Guild and my revenue shot up. The pool speed is now over 22 PH/s and we are finding blocks rediculously fast. One day we had 9 in a row... talk about luck. I had a record $15 day with 2 Antminer S1's and a couple dozen cloud GHS.

I post for free  

I use ghash with Antminers, that's what I post about as that is my interest. Oh just looked at your history 10 of your 20 posts are hate posts on CEX - give it a rest. Yet another hater shill 

10 of your 20 posts are about how wonderful cex are - give it a rest. Yet another cex shill.
