Tempted to dust off my old S1's with the pencil mod... what do you reckon or have they had their day?

I'm still churning along with x6 s3's one died a horrible death!

I only have 4 S1s and i replaced them with S3s a while back... not convinced it was the best move if i'm honest lol... the S1s i'm sure were cheaper to run per Ghash! all running off a 1200w PSU

How'd the S3 die?

Not 100% sure heavy plastic burning smell and some smoke from the inside plugs on top are fine no burning so I guess its been something on the board that's burned out need to pull it open and have a look see.

I have x6 running from a total of 2500W
X1 Corsair RM1000x
x1 Corsair RM850
x1 XFX 650

I'm trying to understand the best share and how it relates to luck. What qualifies as a good best share?
A "best share" is nothing more than the largest share your miners have contributed. It doesn't have any actual correlation to anything (other than "bragging rights"). A "good" best share is relative to hashrate and time. At the current difficulty, a truly good best share is one that's greater than 1,196,792,694,098.  Wink
It's as CG says here, it is only for bragging rights, but if you wish to know what a good best share is then the following explanation will help you understand better.

After 100 shares, on average your best share should be 100.
After 1,000,000 shares, on average your best share should be 1,000,000.
After 1,200,000,000,000 shares, on average your best share should be that too, meaning you should have found one block with it. That's why on average it takes current diff number of shares to find one block.

If your best share is less than the total number of shares you've contributed, then your luck is a little low, and vice versa. It has absolutely zero bearing on your chance of finding an ultra lucky best share in the very next share, but it's interesting to watch nonetheless.

By your explanation, I'm on par with with an 11M best share and about 4M total? I just started all of this a couple of days ago and was concerned if it was even worth it with my avalon2. I tried pool mining and found out really quick that was pointless. Then i found this place. I know its still a long shot, but I'm only $50 deep in equipment.

So by the figures here that share would be classed as good luck?
due to the lower amount of shares submitted through a higher best share = better luck?

Time to test my Sunday luck here!  Smiley


edit: no luck this time.


With the current 5+Ph pumping right now on solo, your odds are increased so jump back in  Grin

Actually my odds are the same, but solo pool odds are increased..  Wink

Which means, that yours odds increase aswell, in a non technical way.  Grin

How i can check if i found a block?

All blocks are announced here and you can see all the blocks here.

https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/pool/solockpool

If you hit one you should see the coins in your wallet too.

If i hit one block i have to finish him? Because i won' t mine 24 hours a day.
There is no start or finish or accumulating shares on solo. Mine whenever you want to mine here.
But for take some profit if i hit a block (and this won' t happen often) i have to mine all i can and finish him right? How i can know that i hit one block?
You find a block, you can stop right away. You will just need to wait for some confirmations and thats it.
Ok thanks
