Hi
I'm mining at night only and 8 hours per day. My electricity cost at night is half of daytime.
Can I expect I would mine 1/3 bitcoins of non stop mining on this pool?
Yes (average expected payout)
Of course luck plays a major part in each single payout, but over time the reward for mining 8 hours a day would expect to average at 1/3 of mining for 24 hours a day.
Edit: In more detail: your shares disappear off the reward list a bit after 500% after you submit them - which at the moment is around 153hrs
it doesn't matter about stop/starting - it's simply that each share will be rewarded in each block found in the ~500% after it.
The value of each share is the same for everyone when the block is found - in proportion to it's difficulty of course.
pretend the time is 144 hours for 500% not 153 hours
so:
in the next 6 days = 144 hours
the poster gets ⅓ or 2 days or 48 hours.
lets say the poster used 30th ⅓ = 10th average at the 6 day point 10th miner hash /1900th pool hash =
1 /190 so miner grabs 1/190 x 24.7btc = or about 0.13 btc if poster ran the gear 24/7 he or she gets 3x that.
Of course averages aside if the pool:
does a lot of blocks = yeh
does very few blocks = meh
does no blocks = bah
