Topic: NovaBlock, The Most Profitable Mining Pool - page 6. (Read 2179 times)

This is what I got from Vincent on Sept 22nd. So looks like 2 more days for their ban. But he makes it sound like its just a ban for PM's? and forums show they have not been on the forums since that same date.

Looking good Stryfe, I just finished a rotation so I haven't started tracking any of my rewards yet. I started my review here. I have some initial questions and findings that I'll be checking in with the pool about. Overall it's been pretty smooth.

I forgot to ask them, any idea how long the Ban was for?? I'm guessing it may be a couple weeks to a month.

I got an email from them - From what I gather they are on a temp ban - too many pm's - got flagged for spam.

after my first 8 days, I have the following stats:



3 of the 8 days ViaBTC has been more profitable, the other 5 days NovaBlock has been more profitable.

the first day maybe should not be counted as I started about 2 hours into their "day" but I left it in just the same. I will update the table again next week.

Do you have any plans to start a signature campaign promotion? Would be nice to have pools do this as well.

yes, viabtc does offer the merged mining which can eventually add up. and I have told nova that is one advantage that some of the other pools offer. Slush "offers" it but has not paid out their merged mining for almost 2 years.

I stayed with viabtc  because  it offers other coins  ie LTC  I am mining LTC as I type along with btc.

I have

860th in clifton
114th scattered in state of washington local solar array and my garage  74th of that will go to cilfton thurs the 26th
  28th  idle   will setup for clifton tommorrow
     
1.2 gh idle ltc will bring to clifton tommorroe
9.6 gh mining ltc in clifton

If I mine here I would make an extra 360 usd for the one month, but I would still need to run the other pools and I would need to reprogram 60 miners in clifton to move here.  It is not worth  360 to do it.  I offered the zero fee offer to 3 people.  All of whom declined it.  Who knows maybe one day I will mine here  but not for now.

nice. I am also pointing some here as well - about a week into the month. Also, comparing it to viaBTC - The hash rate at each pool I am partaking in is not equal but I am more or less looking at it as a rate per TH - curious to see how the rates compare to mine and look forward to the comparison.

Just letting people know I have pointed 2 machines at Novablock pool. I plan on reviewing my experience there in a separate thread in Service Discussion. I pointed ~95 TH there last night and will update regularily over the next month. I did receive the offer for 0% fees for the month to perform this review, and will obviously factor that into the comparisons, I will do a side by side comparison with ViaBTC as I left ~31 TH there.
I do still have 31 TH at kano pool, but will not be factoring that into the comparison as the PPLNS payment structure and 5nd, are quite different and you can't grab the full scope of that in a short period of time to compare against PPS+. I'll update here when I get my review up and running.

Thanks NovaBlock for the opportunity. This review will be an unbiased account of my experience. There is no further talk of compensation at this point, they did state after the review I may still receive a discount on mining; this will not affect my review.

nevermind you are right, all of the rest of the mining world is wrong

Where did I say it was a crime?
One could say it's expected of him

so what if he did? pm'ing someone about a new pool who is offering 0% fees (only for a month - its 3.5% after that) is not a crime. Hell, not one of the 3 he pm'd took the offer, Phil did not even take the offer.

Phil PMd one of my top miners asking them to leave my pool and come here.
Though, that was rather obvious from the conversation above

you tend to be right about a lot of things but why the need to constantly attack everyone/anyone that does not use your pool? I love your pool but have to mine elsewhere as I dont have the reserves to go 2 months with no blocks. sorry. That being said, I am going to toss a T15 on Nova and see how it goes.

Hello Favebook,

Whenever you are ready to try our pool we would love to welcome you. Just message us when you have some machines!

Pass this message along to all your friends so everyone can be more profitable!

I would love to try your pool. But since my only S series unit is now defective and being serviced, and one unit is yet to come in November, I cannot use your pool as all my other miners are Z series.

So the offer is open 0 fees for a while to some senior members.

As I said  I was going to try them but they do not have LTC  and it would mean I need to use an ltc pool and them.

So for now viabtc uses both ltc and btc I will stay there since the move would cost me time and energy and I wioul dstill need to keep my ltc up at viabtc.

  I am interested to see if anyone takes up the offer to mine with them and do a review.
Good luck to the op and any that  try them.  Would to love to here how it works out.


Since I declined  to move I get nothing  for posting here. 

Hi Kano! Of course, pools are unable to run without fees. The normal pool fee for NovaBlock is 3.5%, this is currently reduced to 2.5% for the first 2000 PH. We also OFFER the chance to get 0 fees if you provide us a review or some feedback.

The payment model we use is NovaPPS+, this method aims to benefit miners because the total payment we send includes the standard block reward as well as a standard transaction fee, maximizing profitability.


With all new products, there is a need to verify and test them. In exchange for reviews, feedback and support we have offered a reduced fee to select individuals.

We are in no way looking to pay for reviews but we understand that in order to maximize our reach and gain new clients, we need to be competitive. After they join, we expect them to stay with us due to our convenience (smart software for setting up workers, intuitive web interface and app interface, ETC), our increased profitability and our steady payout system.

We look forward to working with everyone and are glad to be part of this community.

To everyone else:

If anyone is interested or has any questions regarding our pool, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Please send me a PM or email me at [email protected] if you are interested in testing out our pool. We prefer senior members of the community and will offer 0 fees for a certain time period. Additionally, we can offer a permanent reduction in pool fees based on your review. We have a review guideline that can be provided.

I had the person that mines at slush answer they said no.
I had the person that mines at viabtc answer they said no.
The third person I asked has not replied to me. I guess they are the one that mines with Kano.


I went to the site signed up look at all the rules Regulations etc.

I will not take them up on the offer as I mine btc and ltc. This pool only has btc.

I dont want to have an extra pool to track.

I wish them the best of luck.

I am going to stick with viabtc for the moment.

I will admit that they have my interest and *maybe* after we finally pop this latest block on Kanopool I *might* move a bit over to here as it would be nice to have some steady(er) income. Mainly depends on what my rewards on this block is. No matter what, the majority of my hash will stay where it is.

I was offered free mining for 1 month.
I was also told I could offer this some forum members.
I offered it to three people.

One declined.
Two have yet to answer me.

Although one the three most likely told you I asked them.

Frankly for me if I move my gear to them it saves me 12 dollars a day.

Or 360 dollars.

I may or may not do this.

I don’t know where the people I asked mine.
I will also not mention which three people I asked.
Since that is a pm discussion.

I am not sure I want to mine with this company or continue with viabtc.
