'The right to privacy matters'
Thank you both Phil and Kano!  Intersting to see some numbers behind it all.   Been fun so far.

I'm still enjoying mining with these little guy's. Feels like the old day's in mining dealing with the sticks. So really quite fun I think personally.

well if you one to five and mine   you spend around 125 for 5.  it is next to nothing to mine it for a year.  and the chance of a block and profit is not too bad.

Worst case is after a year you  still have 5 sticks.

if you run 5 and do balanced ½ at this pool and ½ at a pool like bitminter  you will have 5 sticks and some coin back.

we won't make much but still some fun.

In fact I AM GOING TO POINT MY AVALON 6 PAIR HERE FOR A DAY!

Or: CDF = 1.0 - e^(-diff/netdiff)

(reasonable estimate for anything but a very tiny value for diff)

Of course I got that thanks to organofcorti Smiley

It's 100% chance/luck, there is no correlation.

More sticks = more hash = more chances at a higher share.

Thanks for reply and sorry for delay, I've been tinkering Wink. Yes that's what I thought, what's happened doesn't seem like that though Huh.

I'm now running a test. I have 3 sticks on old DDR2 pentium dual core 4GB system with Anker USB 3.0 powered hub and 3 sticks on newer DDR3 i7 quad core 8GB system with Orico USB 2.0 hub.

All are running @ 300MHz.

Let's see how they do Smiley. I'm guessing the faster pc should help the sticks to a higher share because of data transfer rate but could be wrong, I usually am Cheesy.

I wish I would have kept 1 Orico usb hub back in the day.  They really were amazing quality and not a ton of hubs are metal.

Right now I'm using powered hubs I had in project area.  They were low priced and good for the money.  So I cant complain to much.  I would highly suggest looking into a RPI.  The fact of running on almost no electricity is nice.  Also they hold price pretty decent so one day you can sell the RPI if you needed money.  Just a lot of projects use them so keeps market up.

Out of curiosity what is our current percentage of hitting a block? On average?  I'm just curious I realize it's low but wondered in overall scheme.  But nice compacs are great running on low electricity.

our team pulled    3,038,413,930     not 7,497,968,613  as this is both run added together

 you need to see a cdf for that many shares  but roughly 5%    for this round and maybe 11% on the two round combines

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

the pc running the sticks should make no difference in a properly coded miner (ie cgminer). after all rpis run multiple higher clocked sticks fine. the usb 2 bus just xfers instructions to the stick, and the stick does the heavy lifting.

but ck, novak or sidehack can give the Definitive Answer.

I completely forgot about this! I'll have to remind myself to setup a stick or 2 to this pool.

Now since this is a monthly thing, do I have to restate I'm connected? or can I set'n'forget?

Has anyone else found running less sticks results in higher shares?

When running 2 sticks @ 300MHz initially I had a 1B share and several 10M+ shares. This was for about 2 weeks.

Since running 6 sticks @ 250 MHz best share I've had has been 3M. This has been for the last 2 weeks.

Has anyone else found this?

I'm wondering whether its because my internet speed isn't great (only 2MB) and the hub is connected to an old dual core DDR2 PC with 4GB ram. Also whether the MHz would make any difference?

I had an 11.6M share in 24 hours to win the highest share competition running only 1 stick @ 300MHz the weekend before last. I haven't had a share near that with 6 sticks since Undecided.

I'm wondering if it has to do with my USB3 ports not belonging to a hub, but being part of the PC.

I have 2 compac sticks in a usb3 hub that is plugged into a usb3 port and I don't seem to have any problems.  It's running on a Win7 machine.

same here.

5 sticks in a USB3 hub (using Y cables so that helps at 240Mhs).

the default 0.9A of a USB3 port should be enough to get you to 230/240Mhs.


All of you guys with multiple sticks. I feel like I should be increasing my amount to > 1!

At least I have a 7-port powered hub (2A to each port).

I am going to try to add this to crytoglance's link as I have limited access  he is added and is the fortieth member.

I was under impression we had him added already.

Man alive these things do not like USB3 ports--nothing but "no valid hashes for over 10 secs, attempting to reset" garbage.  No issues with USB2.  The 'y' cables are on the slow boat so nothing exciting for a while.

I have 6 running at freq 240 on  USB3 (Orico A3H10 hub) with Y cables,
waiting on "usb doctor" to tune them more.
I'm wondering if it has to do with my USB3 ports not belonging to a hub, but being part of the PC.  Possibly the PC is expecting signaling to put the port into charge mode, whereas the hub is dumb and just does it regardless

Argh.... don't use a 12VDC powered hub... they are useless... Miners keep going down daily.. POS hub..

Still avging better than 1 stick but it's annoying having 3 and just avgin better than 1.. bah lol.
