Does anyone here have found a block? How do I know that my miner found a block?
As the thread title says, 187 blocks have been found here. If you get a big fat payment in your wallet, that's how you know you've found a block... plus I announce every block solved in this thread.

Thanks for the replies guys!
I've been considering doing some rentals, but with all the posts I see regarding mining Ponzi schemes, I'm very reluctant.
It's so easy to make a website with some pictures, post transaction records where you transfer coins to some account and call it a "payout"
(since you don't know who owns that address)

Stick to MRR. I think something is fishy sometimes with NH rentals.

Question for the people pointing rentals at this pool-
who are you renting from?
With all the scams these days, I wouldn't trust a rental company without some good recommendations.

I give a 2nd vote to MRR - Mining Rigs Rentals.
I haven't tried NH; however, MRR all but about guarantees the hashrate you rent (when rental is done, if the overall average rate is significantly under target, they refund you the difference).

Been solo mining at this pool for over a year, label me however it makes you happy.
...
So much hate, and totally off topic.@liveflipcoin ,
It might have made sense if he called you the "stalker"
You are correct, I misplaced that label (need to work on my reading comprehension, as you noted) and you have my apology.It might have made sense if he called you the "stalker"
Calm down guys, do I have to start deleting posts?

My only experience is with NiceHash and I've always been happy with the service they provide. Although renting hash is basically gambling and I've never had any luck gambling, so I don't rent often. who are you renting from?

Imo, anyone that makes it to page 307 just wants to read.

Last question.
If I rent lets say 5 ph and mine on a pool.
If I find a block, does that mean that if I was mining solo would i have solved that block too
Possibly you could have solved a block , but possibly not given that every given hash is random.If I rent lets say 5 ph and mine on a pool.
If I find a block, does that mean that if I was mining solo would i have solved that block too

or the fact that I was pool mining made it easier for me to solve the block?
Nothing makes solving "easier" except lower network difficulty.Quote
When mining on pool, the advantage is that there are more miners trying to solve a block on their own or do all the miners in the pool work as one?
Each miner in a pool essentially works on their own, with the agreement that if/when they find a block, then that block belongs to everyone in the pool (and the pool owner). July 20, 2016, 07:58:36 PM
If I find a block, does that mean that if I was mining solo would i have solved that block too or the fact that I was pool mining made it easier for me to solve the block?
Nope, the pool sends you special code that goes into every share. You just got lucky with your miner's code plus that special code only available at that pool and you solved a block, which you now share with everyone else on the pool.
When mining on pool, the advantage is that there are more miners trying to solve a block on their own or do all the miners in the pool work as one?
Yes and yes. All miners work as one as far as the block is concerned. And there are more miners working toward that goal, each as a "hive mind". That's oversimplified, but that's the gist of it.

Ok. So I have a question, thanks in advance for whoever replies and sorry in advance if it annoys anyone.
When solo mining, if I want to spend some coin on a 5 ph rental, that would give me a probability of hitting a block in 48 hours correct? By sending around 213 b shares. in case that I "start from zero"
If I have already mined for some time and have lets say submitted 100 b shares already and then do the rental are my chances better since I have already a submitted some shares or it doesn't make any difference?
Or if a connect a new miner will it skip all the shares that have already been submitted ( that we already know won't solve a block) or will it start over again and maybe submit shares that have already been submitted?
Hope I was clear enough!
Thanks

No, Apederzoli, it doesn't work like that. You can submit 293449829843499494488 billion shares and each one has just as much chance as the previous one of hitting a block. You could hit it on the first share. It doesn't matter.
Think of it as a scratch off lotto ticket. You can sit and scratch 100 tickets, but that doesn't make you any closer to hitting a winner. You could scratch one and win. That's why so many people still run 30mh USB miners. They have very little hash so shared mining is worthless to them, but they could hit that one "solo" ticket and win big. So they still try.
Several 5PH rentals have hit a block. Several more haven't. Your luck is just that, luck. You're only improving your chances by renting a bunch of hash at once.
Thanks for the reply.
In that case, what does the best share means?
If all shares have the same probability of solving the block why is there a best one ?
Like ComputerGenie said, Best Share is just for fun. You can look at it and say "Dang, I missed it by that much!"
