Topic: [BitAffNet] How we're the #1 Bitcoin Mining Pool In The World (or so we thought) - page 23. (Read 99088 times)

So technically, pools are slightly lowering your shares by setting up default difficulties?

Say the miner puts out a nice downward curve of shares based on difficulty. Lots of 1s, less 512s, fewer 1024, etc and the setting is for 1024. Aren't you losing out on all the 1023s and lower as shares or is that just the price of mining to not flood the pool? Or does the share calculation factor in all the lost shares that were too small?

I see default difficulty swinging throughout the day, and am trying to figure if it's a good idea to lock it in at the high end. My S3 that I overclocked is preforming better and more stable than it was before, and now I have it locked on a diff of 512. It's always over 500gh/s average for the hour now. Just need to know if the stock s5s would benefit.

Since your query wasn't answered...

You've shown the value of a share.  That's easy to calculate - take current block reward and divide it by current network difficulty.  Now you have the value of a difficulty 1 share.  When you are mining and you up your difficulty to 1024, 2048, etc... you are only submitting shares of that difficulty.  Each of those shares is equivalent to that many difficulty 1 shares.  At the end of the day, when a block is found, the pool looks at how many difficulty 1 shares you've submitted, multiplies that by the value of each share and voila - you've got your payout.  Obviously I've simplified it a bit, but that's the general idea.

Does anyone have info about how shares are calculated? I was thinking of raising the difficulty on my miners to lower network use, but I really need to understand shares first. I know it'll cause variance, I just want to know I wouldn't mess up my shares in the long run.

Payout changed due to difficulty yesterday.

Why do trolls have so many newbie accounts?

hey you hit  a block on this pool today cool.

That's better.  This thread looks so much better now.

Count me in on this too - it's about time s0br posted some explanations like he said he would.

Why so quiet s0br?  Answer the damn questions already. Man up FFS.

S0br promised answers on his scam thread, was unable to do so, then ran off into hiding for 2 months.

S0br then opens this thread, promises answers, then goes silent again.

I believe that entitles anyone to ask him why - especially here on his own "transparent support" thread.

..Really? (that's an awkward name!) is perfectly right to ask questions here, as is anyone else. If you are so upset about it - tell s0br to keep his promises & answer him or anyone else - simple isn't it? 

Do you mine on BAN?  Are you owed money/btc?  If not, is your life so empty that you have appointed yourself some sad watchdog for us?  Move along and waste your time elsewhere.

Then use the ignore button if my questions offend you 

@ s0br: Stop being a chicken sh*t & answer the questions like you keep saying you will, or stay the proven scammer you are.

Are you s0br?

No?  Then don't speak for him, there's plenty of spokesmen for him already.

Is s0br not man enough to post for himself? He's the one the questions are aimed at - nobody else.

Yeah, I got one of those emails. So has s0br paid every miner back for the last six months? Seriously?  

And what about his promise to post here? Hardly transparent is it?
What about the stolen hardware claim with proof?
What about him going into hiding after his scam was exposed?
What about the fake accounts he owns?
What about his fake pics he promised to "investigate"?
What about the two wallet thefts at exactly the same time he ran out of BTC?
What about all his lies?
Etc, etc.......

S0br doesn't post here because he knows he'll get exposed & ripped apart again, simple as that. Instead, he uses fake accounts/shills to post with, the guys got no balls to face the music & relies on other accounts to talk for him - it's pathetic. What's even more pathetic is that some people actually believe him, no matter how much evidence is placed in front of them. Seriously, how can anyone trust this scammer? His history is atrocious. Maybe if s0br actually plucked up the courage to answer peoples concerns/questions on here like he keeps promising to do, you wouldn't keep seeing the same questions being asked over & over again. Any honest pool operator would jump at the chance to prove his innocence, but s0br keeps hiding behind fake accounts & relying on a few shills to do his talking for him.

It's the noobs I feel sorry for, they don't realise - but the rest of you should know better, but if you still don't, you deserve to be ripped off by him I'm afraid.
