Another block by Transtor1970

I use to rent 2-4ph on nicehash. throwing all of it at ck solo pool. I don't dare anymore, wonder if I hit any blocks that were withheld? I'll never know.

Cryptomafioso and the pool godfather Kano said)))
Yeah, there is a Russian saying "money loves silence"

I could tell you the details, but then I'd have to kill you ...

when it comes.... it comes rushing in!!!

A newb question: How do you withhold a block intentionally? by skipping a specific share that was locally verified to be the solution of the current block?

Slow block is slow ...
But anyway ... block by LuisFernando to break that one

You've explained this before, Kano...but this time I think it's clearer (at least for me). The reasoning, and the transparency, are why many of us are here.

A specific IP was well behind in blocks vs expected.
It was also at the top of the bad luck statistics.
As I mentioned before, since it was rental that means no one will take responsibility for it, so it's safest to simply block it earlier than a normal miner, rather than risk it continuing.

As I've mentioned a few times
1) There is no way to get anything back for loss from rentals - they won't tell anyone who or what and keep anything they determine was withholding
2) That rental site gets paid no matter what for all good and bad mining
3) The withholding miner on that rental site gets paid until (IF) they are detected
4) It's a lot easier to hide a withholder of size M in a total hash rate of size N, if N is a larger than M and there is no separation of the actual miners ... i.e. by definition: a rental proxy - as a pool sees it

Edit: and I guess I should add - for the sceptics ...

It's to the advantage of people who rent out hardware and rental sites to withhold, if they are paid no matter what (as *Hash is)
The more blocks they withhold, the fewer blocks found and thus the lower the diff change each 2 weeks.
This all leads to the mining hardware and rental sites making more BTC long term ... at the expense of the pool they are pointed at, and that pool (it's miners) have no recourse.

The rain is falling pretty hard at my house right now. Sadly, that means I have to shut my miners down for lack of a safe/dry fresh air intake. I think I'll be able to fire 'em back up later tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, lets hit a few BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
My 5ND has me covered for a block or two.

Mine on!

Probably it's some kind of "fishy" definition used in poker slang    (a not experienced player who can be easily manipulated and left with no money)

Nicehash admitted in their thread that they withhold blocks. Only under fishy circumstances, I don't know their definition of fishy. Or how many they are withholding.

Not sure if I got it right, but some rentals were showing hashrate with very poor luck and in fact were withholding the blocks.

I wasn't aware Kano had found the exact reason yet. What was it?

Now, as I know, the reason of bad luck was found.
I am interesting - do you plan to unblock Nicehash?

Thx.
