If you give me a % of your proceeds I'll advise you or manage your server for you. I can get you over $100/day off that hash NO PROBLEM!!
ps: this is your skype friend in the U.S.
Okay, enough folks have PM'd me that I am convinced I should be doing a lot better. I am going to try to tweak the LA90M, try another pool, and then have a proposal for you (jjj0923) at the end of the post...
First off, I don't think the stats page on wemineall is correct. I have actually received about .10 BTC per day. Still too low, but better than .08. I also note that the wemineall stats/pool page says that the pool on average is only earning .000898 BTC per day per Mhs which seems consistent with the estimate on the rankings page for me, but still much lower than Multipool is claiming (0.00281766 per Mhs per day or about .233 BTC/day which seems more consistent with what everyone else is telling me). So I am putting it on Multipool to see if my results get a lot better. If I can get .233 BTC/day on multipool, does anyone still think they can do better? jjj0923?
Part of the issue might also be that I need to tweak the LA90M. A few things on the stats page after running for 2 days look suspect. Here are the relevant stats if anyone can comment on what I should focus on:
Hash rate (machine side): 87.38 Mh/s
Hash rate (pool side reported by LA90M): 82.77 Mh/s
Accepted: 198,721
Rejected: 1,121 (seems okay)
Hardware Errors: 15876 (seems high, but could be a network issue on my end - will need to put on another router to test)
Utility: 51.78/m (this seems a little low; I am getting a utility of 8-9.9/m on a Gridseed blade 5.8 Mh/s system hosted by GAW, so this seems to indicate an issue, though difficulties are very different 256 on gridseeds vs 1,500 on the LA90M (both set by Vardiff))
Discarded: 6,445 (seems okay)
Get Failures: 9 (seems okay, indicates that pool server is not the fault?)
Remote Failures: 6 (seems okay, indicates that pool server is not the fault?)
Work Utility: 75,782 (a little low - should be above 90% of hash rate, or about 78,000+)
Device hardware: 0.01% (good)
Device rejected: .55% (good?)
Pool rejected: .57% (good?)
Pool stale: .06% (good)
My plan right now is to move the server to a location right next to my firewall/router and eliminate any LAN issues that way. I am also going to upgrade to the latest firmware and then watch to see if stats improve. Would be interested what others are seeing on the LA90M (or any other A2 based hashers).
Okay, now to the proposal (after I get everything working as well as possible tonight/tomorrow). jjj0923 this is for you to consider or I will open it up to anyone with good reputation who is interested if he declines. It is an interesting experiment multipool versus human!!
(1) After doing my best to tweak the LA90M on my LAN and running for 24 hours, I will record the poolside hash rate as reported by the LA90M as the base hash rate (B).
(2) I will mine on multipool.us for 24 hours, with no other scrypt miner on that pool. Multipool will compute my 24 hour scrypt profitability as BTC per Mh/s per day. This will be to ensure that the actual profitability I am getting tracks with the Multipool overall profitability (reported on the home page once you log in, for all hashing not specific to my miner). The ratio of my actual profitability over the Multipool reported profitability will be used as an adjustment factor (R) in case multipool is overreporting profitability.
(3) Baseline Calc: Multipool's public reported profitability (BTC per Mhs per the 10 day period) * R * B = Expected Multipool proft baseline. The idea is to see if any human can beat this over a 10 day period, and if so by how much! Note that the Baseline can only be determined after the 10 days is up!
(4) Starting at 0:00 UTC (so we match up with Multipools 10 day reporting period for computing the baseline), I will give VPN access to the miner to the challenger and we can both calculate the Baseline at that point. The challenger will need to make sure to keep records each worker and each pool for verification, as well as records of coin trading from the relevant scrypt into BTC .. All resulting profits in BTC should be transferred least once per day into my BTC address (or if desired we can use an escrow member to hold the BTC for the contest duration - though really both of us are having to trust each other since the challenger will be mining on his/her own pool accounts with my miner! but I am open to escrow if desired).
(5) After 10 days I take back control of the LA90M, and we calculate the Baseline and compare the actual profits achieved versus the Baseline. Any pending blocks should be allowed to mature and coins traded for BTC, so probably another 24 hours before results are final (the Multipool numbers include pending block rewards, so apples to apples).
(6) I will give the challenger two options (to be chosen before the experiment starts):
Option 1: 110% of the profits that are in excess of the Baseline over the entire 10 day period; but Challenger pays me 100% of the amount by which profits were UNDER the Baseline if he fails to achieve parity with Multipool.us. Under this option, I want to learn so I expect some education on how to pick coins, etc. for my own use only.
Option 2: 50% of the profits that are in excess of the Baseline over the entire 10 day period; but Challenger pays me 50% of the amount by which profits were UNDER the Baseline if he fails to achieve parity with Multipool.us. Under this option, the Challenger can keep his secrets.
In either case, the challenger can always give up and put the LA90M back on Multipool.us before the 10 days is up, essentially admitting early defeat but limiting his losses (and mine). And in either case, we both agree to publish the results (good or bad) in a new post.
Takers? jjj?
