How long does it take to solve a block on average?

Thanks just ended without results
best share remained the same as in the previous post so I thing I needed at least the double as
best share to find a block...
hopefully next week now...
good luck to all

Silly question within the same difficulty period does it have any difference that
you rent for instance 200 ths for one hour or 400ths for 30mins
I think it does not matter when diff is same. It is just a proportional relation. But from physiological point of view it is like 200 th for one hour gives you the impression that chances are beter because it is whole hour Wink

No, you calculate the same number of hashes.

edit: and ofcourse congrats to the new blockfinder!

I don't think the answer is that simple, because you have to factor in the number of blocks you're working to solve as well.  You'll have the same number of hashes spread out over more blocks with 200/1, whereas 400/.5 will have that number of hashes over half as many blocks, so twice as many hash calcs per block.  Therefore you should have a better chance with more power over a shorter duration.

Gws24 is right, what matters is the number of hashes you calculate.  The number of blocks on which you work won't do a difference on the chance of finding a valid hash.  The number of hashes makes a difference.


Correct.  Assume for a moment that you control the entire hash rate of the network right now and that hash rate remains constant.  By design you should find a block every 10 minutes.  If you control 1/6th of the network, you should find a block every hour, etc.  Statistically if you rent 2.321PH/s for 24 hours or 1.16PH/s for 48 hours, you'd expect to find 1 block.

EDIT: Note, this assumes there is no change in network difficulty during this time frame.

Hi all, just a reminder about the vps provider scheduled downtime for this pool which is due ~36 hours from now. Please have failover pools set up as the actual duration of downtime won't be known in advance and may be many minutes.

Congratulations to 1LjJJS3rbo91FEdbY6o7YoVEEwkEtb7WZh with ~120TH at time of block solve!

Congrats!  First-time block solver on the pool, I wonder if it was rented hashpower.

Ok, my turn now.

Congrats!  And with only about 1000x the hash power I have... Smiley

Best get renting, its the future lol

Have tried this using Kano I mined there for nearly a 3 weeks when hash rate was low guess about 1.2 phs ...and again when giving a Spondoolies SP-20.
After a block that lasted 6 days I confess I changed pool...

Do you know anyone can help me increase my hash power???
LoL

Yes Kano opinion is always apreciated lets see what he has to say.
Well, he's going to suggest that you try kano.is obviously as its one of the best pools going and you can always have solo.ckpool as your back up, hell, maybe even a load balance even. That's rollin' the dice now!

This will give you the average expected time to find a current block:
http://tradebtc.net/bitcalc.php
Just can enter your hash rate as the pool.
So ... if your average expected time to find a block is 100hrs and you mine for 10hrs then ... you do the math Cheesy

Hi I know the odds are not with my side that is why I dont rent for longer periods
I runned solo for a week with my equipment 22ths nothing happened
so after some days I runned again with rented hash just to try it.
As said in the earlier pages you either need balls of steel and I add or steal electricity...
dont and cant have both selections so mine as usual under a pool.

Maybe kano can help here, but I think that you are better off overall with running the 22th on a regular pool and just renting a lot of hashpower for a short period of time.

rented yesterday some 150 ths for 90mins without any luck... also pool must have restarted yesterday
I have read people doing it all the time but dont know what are the chances...for limited time and high hash...
