100 hours     Losing faith

am glad to have comcast!!!

Happy to see people happy !!!

I just got my internet back up after fighting with Centurylink for the last 3 days trying to get the information from them so I could config my modem as all they wanted to do was sell me one of their crappy modems.  I have never seen so many clueless people doing tech work and thank god for Google. So I have my S3 mining again here now.

Sloopy. I had a good couple paragraphs typed out with more to add, but it helped enough just typing it and deleting it. Thank you for your post. It was a catalyst for something completely unrelated that I'd been holding back.

Make the best of what you have.


I blew my wad of renting (.75) over the last few days. Good luck guys!

Daym man. You're almost at 1 PH!!

1/2 my miners are rented out at betarigs, so I'm down. 

I only have about 90 minutes left.  I set it for 777.77  I am now the kano.is leader !!

I see the pool hash rate rising...

Came home today to no internet, so my machine was offline a few hours.

I am going to settle at 400



Username---------    Hash Rate 5m
bitminerpro-------   683.97THs
melancon----------   428.29THs

almost there.

I have decided to go to 777.77 for 1 or 2 shifts just to be in first on the list of kano's pool 1 time.

Still gaining.

maybe I do 700 just to be on top of the pile for a while.

I can not take anymore World of Tanks while we wait. The younger generation is kicking my A**. I have been down across the board mining wise for week and back for about 2 days now. Best share is 6 422  613 831   

Hi Sloopy

Life has many twists and turns, that's for sure!
It's like driving a car with no steering wheel, but we still have a brake and gas pedal.
sometimes life takes a turn and we don't know where it will bring us.

The hard part is knowing when to use the gas or the brake pedal.
Family and friends are always a good guide.

Best of times for you and your family.

sloopy quite a speech. a lot of sense to it.

0 kids ( 2 miscarriages)

1 really good wife We  married in 1986.

What does any of it have to do with mining on Kano's pool I don't know but Maybe I will toss 200th at it after reading your post.

I know it gets people to thinking when the blocks get long, but it will slam home and the payouts will start rolling in.
Or not
But either way I am adding hash not moving it away.
And I think this to be the new and improved payout gateway!

I want to apologize in advance to Kano and my fellow pool mates as this is terribly off topic but to me on topic in many ways.
If you want it deleted, etc feel free or tell me and I will no troubles, but I was pressed in my mind to share this wall of blab today so please skip over unless you simply enjoy reading because it is not words of wisdom to me but it is my thought process of the moment I am for some reason sharing on the interwebs with poolmates. So...
 

I am cleaning miners one at a time and will have them all moved to their new home.
I have a 3M anti static mat and I ground myself, pull the cover, disassemble as much as possible and start carefully vacuuming.
Then I finish off with a bit of low pressure, dry, clean air.


Two things are on my mind as I go through this my second night now...
 BITMAIN will announce the S4+ upgrade this week using the S5 boards I bet. Complete new unit, new PSU and all. I don't want to buy, bad mojo me thinks, but I still contemplate the money I lose by not doing so. I am not saying anything against BITMAIN. I want to make that clear, this is simply my own opinion here in Kano's worlds of fun and I do not mean for BITMAIN to take the stage, but it is a part of my reason, experience and opinion. Early adoption and all that makes a huge difference when considering exponential growth, but I think it smarter to hold out for the better product or simply buy the coin and wait for the better product which is what I shall do, this five minutes anyway I HODL what I've got in the face of the status quo! and again my recent experiences.

 What a real pain it is to clean miners. I never take my DVD Player apart and clean it, or my TV, stereo, but I do my XBAWKS, and PC. Cleaning my SP20s I enjoy. I actually sit there thinking about the mining time I am losing but I take her apart to the empty can. I'm not crying over the money, it is the process of the mining I enjoy, and again wash and repeat the vacuum. I consider myself lucky to have these SP20s, and had I known then what I know now would have bought many, many more - much sooner and I hope I get the equivalent opportunity again. I appreciate the people who have sold them to me lately, sincerely appreciated. Not for the coin they make, but I admire the craftsmanship. Not that I don't enjoy the coin, that is part of the process after all.

 Weird and strange guy my children must think I am so it must be true but as I was cleaning one last night my oldest daughter (now 17) and I were discussing my most recent GF and she asked if I was happy. I answered completely honestly for the first time in a good while that yes, I am very happy. Sitting there with the SP20 in pieces, helping her with pre-calc, thinking of the mining time I was losing, debating buying the reworked S4 and deciding no, I am going to buy coin and wait, but no stress from my personal life at all. Zip, zero - none. That is fan-freakin-tastic, and a first I think. Not that I haven't been happy with some of the women I have been with, because I have, but there is always some drama, some stress, something. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the company I have from time to time, but no relationship err no responsibility to a "better half" is very refreshing. That word doesn't do it justice, I am more alive than ever.

I think everyone should spend some time out of a relationship, and I mean serious time. I have my two daughters with me full time, always have, so it isn't like I am not responsible but there is a certain freedom from not being in an adult relationship with a woman that has made me feel more in control of my destiny than ever. If you are a late teen or early twenties person and not in a relationship, stick it out. Society taught me to get a good job, get married, have kids and there you go. It is backwards to me from logical thinking. I think live your life while you can, wait until you are at least 30 or even longer and NEVER stay in a relationship where you are unhappy. You never know when you may wake up and realize you aren't happy and it would be better to have had a long term piece of life before you have to settle down. Not that you cannot be happy in a relationship, and I certainly believe some people are. I also know people who stay together for their kids, or they really are so used to the routine they would rather go home to someone they hate than change things up. I have been married twice and a string of girlfriends since my 2nd Divorce in 2007, but I only let one woman live with me since then and that lasted about 6 weeks after she moved in. Since then no way, and my last GF I broke up with right after this past Christmas. She is a great woman and will find the right guy but it is not me. That was about the time I found mining. Coincidence? Hmmmm. Don't get me wrong, I think marriage and relationships are great things, but I don't think we teach our kids enough about that part of life. Society pushes everyone to get married in many ways, peer pressure being the biggest. We are teaching our kids Marriage is a requirement but at the same time nothing is wrong with divorce and in turn I think pushing people to the point of marriage not being what it truly should be, something you should enjoy the same way you love your children, you just do.

The best thing you will ever do is make a child if you do so. Never forget that you bring them in this world, they are your most important responsibility. You either do something or you don't, when it comes to kids, you must do, there is not a don't. Raise them to take on the world but protect them at the same time.
You don't have to get married or have kids. It is OK and probably a great thing to wait. All of the stuff about carrying on the family name, blah blah blah doesn't matter. It is your life, get married and have kids when you are ready, after you experience more of your life.

If you do not have kids then do whatever the hell you want. Why be Mr. or Mrs. responsible and work 60 - 70 hour weeks, or be in a relationship where you aren't happy? F that. Go do what you like! Say those thoughts in your head and tell that person who is screwing over your friend what you want. Save some money for later in life but don't be afraid to go out. Go do the crazy things you want and if someone doesn't approve they aren't you. I'm not saying you can't have fun with kids but you should be much more responsible with your money, time, and plans for the future. Otherwise go to the place you haven't been. Go to Australia and skydive, or Florida and bum on the beach for a few months. Or, if work is your thing, then do it to your heat's content. Live in the building if you want. Have a shower installed and hire a cook. Make it all happen without anything else clouding your judgement.

Most importantly tell everyone the truth. People say they want honesty, but it is hard for most people to understand it most of the time. Most people lie their ass off everyday. If you start telling the truth about everything you feel like you are on top of everything and you can do so without being an obnoxious asshole -  give it a try. At first it is difficult... Q: "Does my ass look fat in these jeans?" A: " You know I really love the black dress baby you look so Sexy in it! Will you wear it for me tonight?"
Yes it avoids the question and you still may get in a situation of sorts but you also told the truth and if she pushes she will get the rest, but I know what my ass looks like and so does she. Don't ask obvious questions unless you want to hear the obvious answer, but you can still be polite... without lying.

Are you happy with your job, relationship, current mining setup, or whatever company you plan to make your next purchase with? Don't settle for convenience, get what you want or work and fight until you get something different if that is what you want. Don't fret over missed opportunities unless you actually had or have proof you are indeed missing one now. Just like luck the past is done. There is nothing wrong with waiting and having goals, or in the same vein jumping right in to something you believe in, but there is a ton of things wrong with making choices you already have a bad feeling or experience about and everything wrong with living life unhappy.  

Yeah long blocks (higher diff%) happen.
Not much that can be done about it though.
It's not actually in the very high CDF arena yet - 290% is 1-exp(-2.9) = 0.945
i.e. 1/20th of blocks are expected to be longer than this.
But the lower hash rate makes it seem worse than it is also.

I wonder what I can sacrifice to the block Gods to appease them
