yeah has to kill you.   I may ramp up in Oct when 1 drop to 13c - 3c for heating benefits = 10c    So for now it is something to look forward to.  but at 30c not going to happen.

Congrats johnp!

That's cool, I have a single NanoFury pointed here and noticed it pulled a 600M share the other day..you never know...

For all those that have asked this was with rented hash from westhash, I have been trying for a few days and different hashrates and spent about 6btc.

Good return

And we have about 5.5 btc left sitting idle.  

  I am also thinking to restructure  from the 200th west   800th nice spilt   .

to 1x 100 west  and 4x 100 nice.  I will pm all members.

While our group hasn't found a block yet... after the latest winner, I checked my own solo mining - a whopping 9G from 5 U2s.  That's when I saw this:



That's the best share I've ever seen from those little sticks.  Sure, it's nowhere close to finding a block, but it's not that bad, either.

Anyway, congrats to johnp and our latest 2-block winner!

Thanks for the explanation. I was thinking along the same lines.

Wow, the next 2 Blocks. 

Congrats, another block for 1H5QBZ6GdZug2BNx6oRAi8GBCi4nuJARiK

And congrats to the user johnp 1N8zFF9UiYejtjZHJpvr1S1NZC4iJLYeRX

Just woke up and looked at my PC and and there sitting in my wallet 24.9 coins what a good start to a rainy wet Monday, thanks ckpool.

23.2 cents a kwh here in nz 
I still have one S3+ pointed at the solo pool though, hoping for the lucky block

Averaging about 30c here how do you think I feel as a mining software developer that can't afford to mine?

Theoretically it shouldn't make any difference at all. However I cannot vouch for potential losses in a massive mining farm setup designed to channel PH hashrates through only a few workers. While I've personally written a proxy (and am still actively developing it to be something much bigger) I can't vouch for the proxies anyone else uses. This is nothing to do with whether it's rental or otherwise. My gut feeling is a massive farm (>1PH) is less likely to be as efficient and have the same amount of potential hash loss as a medium sized farm. It's hard to set up a good farm and the larger the farm, the harder it is - but it's not a given that whoever set it up won't have made it as efficient, it's only generic advice. As I've already said, no one with >1PH has ever found a block on this pool (except for the private Avalon farm that was mining here when I first opened the pool) whereas there have been heaps of blocks solved from 1->600TH miners.

We are missing out on some lucky streak . Hopefully the prices drop on nice hash soon. Would we increase our chances of hitting a block possibly by having 5 different works at 100 TH each ?

Another block for 1H5QBZ6GdZug2BNx6oRAi8GBCi4nuJARiK! Congrats!

yeah it is why the game has become so hard for little guys.

If you mine in house as a home owner 5 kwatts in the summer and 10 kwatts in the winter is a practical limit

so with modern gear 10th to 20 th in a home setup is tops.  best gear does .5 watts  a gh.

so a home miner at 10 cents  with 20 th and 10k makes 665 usd a month after power.

at 11 cents a kwatt  593
at 12 cents a kwatt  521
at 13 cents a kwatt  449
at 14 cents a kwatt  377
at 15 cents a kwatt  305
at 16 cents a kwatt  233
at 17 cents a kwatt  161
at 18 cents a kwatt   89
at 19 cents a kwatt   18

Now I have a point  that relates to a solo pool and renting.

20 th = 18 or 19 s-5's  psu's  so to set this up you are near 8000 usd.

with almost no hope of making a profit.  maybe 33 or 34 btc out of pocket.

I can rent 25th from nicehash 2 days cost 0.5 btc point it here.

if I don't hit a block I am out  0.5 btc after 2 days.

Basically it becomes a better chance for me in the summer  to do that then to  do the mining with s-5's or sp20's

Oh I can point hash here or at kanp's pool which I have  or mmpool.org or f2pool or antpool

tried all of them. Money made  with some pools  and some rentals.

My other option is no renting until Oct 1.

services like nice/west  hash   will stick around for miners like me that can not mine at home for various reasons.

OMG 2 last block where mined with 100TH

Can someone confirm ?

If so Im really impress. 

Congratz to the lucky one!

Another lucky winner

Yes indeed it is all 3.

You need to trust who you use to mine (pool OPs) and who you use to supply miners (sellers and renters)

... and yep I fall under that heading also of who you have to trust if you mine at my pool

I agree all you can prove is some miner renting to nice-west hash are doing it correctly.
You can do this because rentals have found blocks.

You can not prove every miner renting is honest.
You can not prove 1% 2% 3% 4% even 10% are dishonest.
More data helps pin things down some what.    

  But you would need 1000 btc of rentals pointed here to have a decent sample size to even think luck is up or down a lot.

the pool has made 50 blocks that is 1250 btc.  So right now I doubt there is enough data to prove a thing.

As for data being good bad or indifferent. I know lot of people have agenda's about BTC or any coin.

I have 3 s-3's mining every thing else is a rental.  I only know those 3 pieces are good.

 To date they have done 5.5 billion shares without a block. so they only have 1/9th of 48 billion shares.  they have run for close to 1 year.

this is part of risk a miner takes.

bad pool op = sometimes
bad seller = sometimes
bad rented hash = sometimes if you rent a shit ton of hash some is lost even if it is lost from latency.
