From what I've been told, the US server is better for connections from Asia.

Thanks will test both once I'm ready to move over to BTC guild. Still working out some electricity calculations to make sure our rigs have 24/7 up time.

If your experience adding upwards of 4-5 TH/s in the next coming days would seem viable to get a decent share? Or would I be better off going with a smaller pool?

As of 0230 am on 3/20/14  the past 200 closed shifts have earned 1962 blocks for a per shift average of 9.81 blocks per shift. That might not be the same as PPS but its not as bad as it seems at times.

Depends on where you are in Asia.
If you are closer to EU try that one first.  Then you can test the other if it is not up to par.

You guys wanna see bad luck, go look at Slush Pool, they had a 25 hour block. Sad

You think that's bad? Over on P2pool there has been a 5 day streak of no blocks recently. Looks like very bad luck this month all around.

um, looking at p2pool.info?  Don't trust it.  I think it's wrong because of the blockchain.info problems.

We had a block 23 hours, 40mins, and 58 seconds ago.  And I know there was one yesterday before that as well.

I meant a week ago... Almost 5 days without a hit.

We had 3 blocks in the last 30 hours though.

Still in the hole for the month luck-wise.

Variance is a bitch.  The lower the hashrate, the worse it can be.

I miss PPS, im making half of what I was before it got dropped :/
Wait long enough and you'll be making twice as much.  Maybe. Smiley

I'm also making half as much as I was, and I've been on PPLNS since the beginning, such is the joy of variance.

I hope so, its only a hobby but it was nice when i was making enough to buy a few more miners a month.

Suzukii, don't ask questions too much...or god don't ask the same questions twice if you forget. The entitlement brown nosers will come out of the woodwork (the ones who know it all) and try to belittle you so they can make themselves feel better. You have been warned!


Hi Opentoe. I hear ya.
Yea, I've kind of been burned once (or some have attempted to), but I've learn-ed that when I encounter those that feel they have intellectual prowess over me I ignore them & they eventually get the hint (after they've fired off a dozen or so emails with no responses). Fortunately, I haven't had to experience that more than once on this forum. It's usually a bunch of friendly, knowledgeable & generous group here.  I avoid the scandalous threads once I feel it is going down that road.

Personal text my ass....

Hi OS2sam.  Thanks for the replies in advance.
I should've mentioned that.  They're all on separate workers so I can troubleshoot them easier when one goes down.  So for now I'll set them to a diff. level of 128.  Correct?

Would it be better if I have them all mining with one worker?
PS:  (I was an OS/2 v1.2 guy back in the early 90's myself).

... I do agree that each miner on it's own worker is an easier way to find out which ones are not performing to their peak so that's more of an ease-of-use/preference kind of decision.  I do think that you might make slightly more running them all on one worker though...

Hi BRADLEYPLOOF. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try that soon.
As for miners I started with a few block erupters, which I still have, then added three 5gh/s BFL cubes, then had a great income tax return (busted my butt for it last year) & bought a few Antminers. I'm going BTC crazy. It's like crack to me, (not that I've tried it.) You'll get there.
Thanks for the input.

Approximate Pool Luck* (24H / 3D / 1W / 2W / 1M / 3M / 6M): 54.837% / 83.785% / 85.667% / 88.272% / 95.374% / 99.645% / 101.365%

I didn't realize this pool's had bad "luck" for 3+ months!

Not to get all conspiracy theorist here, but it does make one wonder if someone's dipping their fingers into the pot. When a pool has 6.3 PETAhashes (or 18% of the total network), you'd expect variance to level out sometime short of 1/4 of a year!

I'm sorry guys, a 3% fee and inexplicably horrible variance.... yeah, I'm outta here.

It all evens out in the end.

According to my calculations, Eligius is at 97% for 90 days.
