Topic: I found a block !!! - page 2. (Read 8855 times)
That's unreal, congrats
Unfortunately I was pool mining...
Note that I did not receive anything extra for finding it!
But still! One of my Antminer S3+ found a block shortly after I restarted them.
Has anyone else found one?

I am new to mining. Whats the approximate amount you get if you find a block? Isn't it around 50 BTC?
25 BTC per block

congratulations.. wishing i could find a block myself too 
I found 4 all in the same day with the same S3+. I wish I was solo mining but it was on a pool. I was like mother f***** but I'm happy I contributed.
Whoo! 4 in a day!!! On which pool?It wasn't really a pool but it was on a hash renting site. I don't want to name names because I don't want to be looked at like a shill. I use M's Ant monitor for all 12 of my S3s, I went to bed and didn't bother to watch the monitor at all the following day. When I finally looked at it in the evening, it showed 4 blocks found all on the same S3+. I couldn't believe it so I checked in the Antminer Web UI for that miner and sure as shit, it also showed 4 blocks found on the status tab. Whoever rented my rigs made out like a mofo.

You should have bought a lottery ticket on the day it happened.

it's it close to a miracle considering it's from an Antminer.
I just checked up my eclipsemc account and saw that I already found 2 blocks for this pool.
And I use 2 Antminers S3 here.
Congrats - you are insane to have that many tabs open in chrome BTW
Congrats DarkRavenGamer, I remember when I found my first block!
haha very nice, good luck you have there.
CONGRADS 
It was really lucky that if you could find a block, too shame you were not solo mining...

Since I'm not in the club, I don't know how it works.
Does your pool send you a notification with congratulations?
Do they send balloons to your workplace and help you celebrate?

EDIT: I've noticed that ghash.io isn't paying as much as the calculators are saying I should get. I will give it a few more days to get it confirmed, but, any pool recommendations?

Did you get a bonus for finding a block?
ops.. there is one more option.. cheating.. but this is short way to win in this business anything
care to expand your knowledge of "cheating"?I'm not aware of any methods of "cheating" in mining that don't end up being unprofitable in the long run...
I write it here just because author of this thread is newbie.. and it may be useful for him ..Don't take it personally please..
. I just wanted to clarify that all of the methods that I have read about that one would label as "cheating" when it comes to mining seem to be more expensive than just mining "fairly". Unless you can predict the future or have a secret charm for luck, that is. I'm a bit worried to aswering
you know why.. ) but in short way - this is abouy cloud meaning stuff..
Finding a block must feel like winning the lottery, congrats
