Ouch! Pool is down to 9PH... Aside from the Halong/btcDrak cabal leaving, where did the other folks move to?
Sadly... Pool is UP to 9PH... At the last block solve, mid-December, the rate was +25PH/s
One day later, down to 10PH/s
A day later, down to 5 or 6PH/s where it has remained until the past few days. In the past year, the Pool's Rate seems to go up (marginally?) whenever we hit 80-90% Difficulty... I'll let others decide if it's people/entities letting a bunch of us little guys do the heavy lifting to get to the 80-90% and then jumping in...
Personally, it doesn't matter as I always get paid for every share on this pool.
For those using `beefy' miners, the electrical cost must be becoming prohibitive considering the low BTC Reward values (if you use them to pay for mining).
BTC.com shows the entire pool at above 50EH/s in October, down to the mid 30's in December and just lately creeping over the 40EH/s level...
So where did everybody go? For many, the answer was `away'... hopefully they'll be back when the value of BTC goes back up again...In the meantime, my herp and derp keep growing much faster... and I'm in it for the long game.
