I was able to fire up my four S9's about 30 minutes ago after being off all night. I'm good until around 1:00 or 1:30 until the lightning/rain storms roll back in. At least that's what the weather channel app says.
So that's where the blast of high-speed hash is coming from - all ~47TH of it! LOL.
Seriously though,
We do have some big hash at the top of the list. I'm happy to say I'm probably in the top 15 with my rentals from MRR. That way when I have to shut my hardware down, I'm covered, and then some - by a lot.
Happily, I started these long-term rentals before the 11-block day and we have been lucky ever since.
A darn good start to the mining day with 3 blocks!
Happy 08/08/16 (Maybe that means we shall have an 8-Block day?
Go! Blocks-Time! Where are you located if you don't mind sharing? It appears you have thunderstorm almost daily lol. I am into late summer here in Canada so would see thunderstorm every few days, too. Also are you able to make a profit by renting? the rate at MRR seems quite high.
I am in the North Carolina mountain. Yes, we have thunderstorms/rain storm most of the summer every afternoon. Sometimes all day and night, so I have to shut down my miners as they are sucking air in from the windows (assisted by fans) and I don't want to blow/suck
air rain into the miners.
I was able to get in some long-term rentals on MRR for a fairly good price and have been running for the past 4 days at a modest TH speed. (I'll add another one as one expires to keep it fairly steady.) I'm am definitely in the green for this round of rentals and my 5ND looks very happy. I was lucky to get in the day before the 11-block day. In the last few days, I have been putting 1/4 of my rental profits from Kano payouts back into the rentals. So I've got a very high 5ND running right now.
My last 100TH rental expires early morning on Wednesday. After that, it's back to my hardware only.
Yes, renting is a big gamble. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not. I feel fortunate this time to have Kano's pool luck swing nicely upward over the last couple days.
Back on topic....
We're due for some
BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! EDIT: I still have my miners running as it appears the rain won't get here until 3 or 3:30. Every little bit of hash helps!
