So I decided to give the GPUMAX 'Purchase' service a try last night, since I have been contributing shares for a while now...I figured it was time I gave it a shot on one of the more popular pools to see the results.
I am actually embarrassed to say, but my overall return on my purchase price was less than 40% in total.
No, not 40% after costs recovered, but a whopping 60% overall loss, unfortunately.
Upon making the purchase, everything started out quite fast but the speeds soon fell to nearly half, which resulted in approx 1.5 hours to complete my purchased share delivery and spreading out the shares amongst 2 of the pool's rounds, which really hurt the end result, as I ran out of shares before the final round ended (Slush's Pool) so it literally killed any chance of any further recovery of investment due to the 'points system' and degrading share value over time.....lol
It's really too bad that speeds did not maintain throughout, as I could have done really well, but alas, a lesson learned
I think I will just keep submitting shares for sale, rather than purchasing myself for a while.
On the upside (for the pool, not for me) I managed to find one of the 2 blocks that I was a part of, but it wasn't even with my GPUMAX Worker...lol....it was one of my private workers that I also sent to the pool to accompany my purchased share delivery.....LMAO
How's THAT for luck
