As an electrical engineer, the graph of Eligius' hashrateprofitability makes me happy on the inside.

Still more bad luck for GHash.IO, plus a DDOS this week, which has caused a precipitous drop in hashrate
Ghash lost 12Phs, BW Pool added 12 Phs. Looks like transit Phs, doesn't it?

I still don't know anyone mining at BW Pool, only cloud mining.

Now that I produce three weekly posts I can't really reproduce them here anymore so I'm going to link to them and include some interesting images instead.

I believe there is an error in the pool statistics table on the mining pool page for Eligius' hash rate.

I'll check it out. What do you think it should be?

Edit: You're right, it's wrong, but it's the data I got from the API - it might have been down for a while. The data should be ok by next week.

I have a question about the CDF vs luck included in that table. Luck is a straightforward to calculate, but it seems counter-intuitive that the CDF for GHash would be higher than for Kano.is, even though the luck was worse for Kano. I'd guess there is a factor in there that accounts for the increased hashrate of GHash leading to less variance and a tendency to stick closer to 1.0 luck, but I'd be interested to see how you calculated the CDF for that.

Good question, and it comes up a lot. The CDF is a function of mean(submitted shares)/(expected shares) and of number of blocks solved. The more blocks solved, the narrower the CDF should be. You can play with it here:

In this example, the number of blocks solved is 100, and the mean(submitted shares/expected shares) is 1.1:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=CDF%5BErlangDistribution%5B100%2C+100%5D%2C++1.1%5D

Generally, use

Code:
CDF[ErlangDistribution[nblocks, nblocks],  mean(submitted shares/expected shares)]

Thanks, I knew I was missing something. It's not the average CDF of the block which makes a lot of sense, since that essentially is the same information of the average luck and wouldn't actually tell you how likely that level of luck is. With Bitcoin mining, the generation of a block is an exponential distribution; so from a quick Wikipediaing of the Erlang distribution, for a stochastic process like Bitcoin mining the expected luck (inclusive of orphaned blocks) is 1.0. Then for 100 blocks, your rate is 100, and k is chosen to give you the mean value of 1 (so 100 as well).

Are there any pools which have very easy monitoring on your mobile device like GHASH app?
Most mobile devices have browsers don't they? Smiley

Are DOT and DAY pools also from China? Look, top-4 pools are chinese, unbelievable.

aren't all the major ASIC companies in china? 

it's like blue bell ice cream, they eat (use) all they can, and sell the rest

a couple of them need to improve their peering badly

*cough* antpool *cough*

Wow, they're just above the US... I guess those billion+ Chinese gotta eat something...

Funny thing is, look at who has the most cows...
Apparently, India is the place to be if you're a cow.

It definitely is. As a cow in India you can sit in the middle of the road all day long and noone will bother you. Nice to be a holy animal!

Had no idea there were cow's in China.
3rd largest population Tongue according to this ...
