i have been out of monero mining for a while due to a move.
1. in the op there is no multiminer link. does this still work.
2. is multi miner still the same as lucas zone11 miner
3. why is wolf miner linked is it much better than lucas miner (if it is multiminer)
4. any solo miners left? not cloud miners mind you. just a guy or gal with a computer random town usa.
5. with 100/s what is the time frame a solo miner can expect to find a block now using simpleminer
6. with CN now producing a reference code coin. Does this pose a threat to monero. not their reference code coin but others launching with what is now fairly known technology and therefore launched to a broader base than those of us who found bitmonero in its early days.
thanks.
1-3) Wolfs miner is considered the fastest atm, it is an improved fork of Lucas' miner.
4-5) people are still still solomining but with considerably more than 100 h/s. If thats all you have you would be better on a pool but don't expect to make too much.
6) Its debateable but the essence is that their reference coin is just that, an implementation allowing any noob to fill in the variables and have their own CN coin. However, if a dev does not have the knowledge to fork without a holding hand method do you really expect them to be able to maintain a coin and also make it better than XMR ? I doubt it, the reference code imo is the CN team shooting themselves in the foot by giving people the tools to create lots of crappy implementations of their technology.
htank you for reponse.
for education perposes then, perhapse if I could be educated regarding how long to find a block given 100 h/s. I use this number as reference only. I know lots of people are solo mining, but using cloud mining.
again, thanks.
Current network hashrate is 11.62 MH/s, which is 11.62 x 10^6 H/s or 11620000 H/s.
100 H/s divided by 11.62 MH/s = 0.0000086, which is the fraction of blocks you will find with 100 H/s.
Given there is one block every minute on average, that gives 24 x 60 blocks per day = 1440 blocks per day.
Multiply 1440 by 0.0000086 to get the number of blocks you'll find a day, on average, which is 0.0124.
Divide 1 by 0.0124 to get the number of days it should take you to find a block. In this case, it will take you (on average) 80 days to find a block worth 15.7 XMR while solomining.
Your best bet currently is to use a pool where you'll be able to mine approximately 0.19 XMR per day.
