Hi kano,

I have a couple of miners pointed at your pool using a btc address only, but they are currently showing up as dead. I have tried using port 443 also, but with the same result. I see by the previous post that there have been some connection problems - are they still ongoing?

Thanks.
Nope, the problems were solved back then.
You'd have to PM me your BTC or IP address to see if I can spot what's happening at the pool.

At $0.02 per KW, you are profiting on average $320.00 per month for each S7
You have to recoup your initial "investment" (purchase price of hardware + psu) before you see any profit.  Even with 2 cent power (which is rare in and of itself) you won't see profit for over a year. That's why I mention ROI even at low power rates.  New hardware purchased at retail price just doesn't make any sense right now.

Not necessarily.  If you plan on selling the machine, say at half price, you more or less get back your initial investment back at that point.  And PSUs.... I reuse what I can,  but that's assume you're replacing/upgrading capacity, not adding.

Anyways... my plan is to mine for 6 months, and then see what a used S7 will go for.  If I can replace all my miners with a single S7, that's a win, too! 

I'm just a hobby guy, though.  This is not my day job.  Everyone's circumstances are different...

That was my train of thought also. I have my little 'hobby mine' of 2xS3 and an S5 running around 1.8TH avg at just under 1200W. Once the used S7 machines start to hit the marketplace, hopefully at sub $1k prices, I should be able to more than double my hash for the same amount of power. Any amount I can get from reselling the S3/5 machines will help offset the upgrade.

That's also assuming a used market develops for the S7 in 4-6 months. Next week's new technology could turn into vaporware or unobtanium and the S7s will dominate through the halving. Then again, new tech (SP50, et al) could transition the mining game into more co-op operations, even at the hobby level.


It's nice to see Spondoolie selling something, at least it's not just Bitmain that we have access to. They make great hardware. I had an SP31, never an issue. Funny thing is I bought it used for 1200, mined for 5 months and sold it for 2k. Sure I'll never make out like that again. Took that money and ordered a s7. But this sp50 is a co-op machine for sure, unless your a huge farm in China, Venezuela or Greenland. Still waiting to find out the price of it. But they should use the same .15j chips and make a 5, 10 or 15th box for the average joe unless one takes out a second mortgage and uses 80% of a standard 200amp main at your house:)

Just got this email from Spondoolie
Thank you for your email and your interest in the SP50. We are excited and proud to unveil our next generation machine as a breakthrough product for industrial mining.

With its extremely low power consumption and modular design the SP50 has been specifically designed for maximum power efficiency and ease of management.

Initially the SP50 will be offered in limited quantities only to a select group of customers. As we scale up production we hope to offer the SP50 to a wider market. At that time we will publish pricing and shipping terms.

We thank you for your interest in the SP50 and look forward to working with you.

Regards,

Barbara

Question or feature request:

With new "monsters" like SP50 coming, I think it would be handy to split profits per machine. Depending on the price of this and future monsters, single miners may join - financial - forces to buy such a machine. Then it would be useful to have a possibility to send x % to owner A and y% to owner B and so on.

Could this be done already (couldn't come up with a solution yet) or could this be implemented in the pool software?
It's already there, but I've only allowed it for big miners (100THs+)
If you can stay 100TH+ then I can give you the menu option to have multiple payout addresses with % you choose to each.
Obviously that requires trust for the one or more people you give access to login to the account - but I don't arbitrate that of course.

One account uses it at the moment (obviously one of the biggest miners)

It makes the payout transaction bigger, and uses more database resources, so no I wont be giving that option to most people
I made a post about it long ago but even I can't find it Smiley
But yeah back then I also said the lower limit was 100TH, and now 100TH doesn't mine as much as it was back then, so I wouldn't be dropping that limit much.

Hmm the only thing I probably should change is to add an address limit on an account, so say you could ask for a 2 or 3 address limit

Very interesting, yes. If this implementation could be done, i'm sure some pleople would like to join. ATM there are some posts in this forum evaluating the joining option. One problem is who will control the earning wallet. If the pool can do it, this people have the thrusted man solved.  Smiley

Unfortunately problems are continuing.
Another drop to about half the connections put the pool down to about 1PH but it's on the way back up again.
Chasing the datacentre to get more information about why it's happened a 2nd time ...
The main server data-centre was under a major DDoS attack.
It wasn't directed at the pool, but at the whole data-centre itself.
Seems the side effect was actually quite minor for the pool considering that.
They do indeed have some good DDoS protection that the pools also gets.
The last attack on the pool a few months back didn't even register more than a blip on the radar Smiley
They say they have it under control so hopefully should continue the smooth sailing since the the 2nd short outage I've quoted.

My diff was bumped up to 3.934k by the pool briefly, even though I have only 700gh/s worth of equipment. Sooo... somehow I experienced a burst of catch..me..up after a trickling of lost 5 shares, lost 10 shares, lost 5 shares, untracked work...etc.etc. If that helps. Might explain some of the pool hashrate dipping for others.

There was a short network outage with the data center (about 30 or 40 seconds)
Everyone will have failed over.
I also did a ckpool restart that will have failed over anyone who survived the short outage.
All is OK again.

Ruu \o/
when the rewards halves will the value of the btc rise.


Getting a bit offtopic for this thread here... it belongs in mining speculation and has been discussed at length there in existing threads.

P.S. It won't.
