Something I am not able to find, how many watts are said to be used for each PACMiC in determining how long it stays on for?
From my understanding they are the equiv of an s5. I believe that is what I read.
Right, but we are not getting the same hashrate as an S5, so I am wondering if it is based off of 590 watts of power (.51 watts per GH/S), or scaled down to the amount of hash we actually get, which at .51 watts per GH/s, would be 510 watts.
I don't fully understand how it works so I turned it off.
Thinking about it this way......
Yes, the hashrate increased which you would think is good but your PACMIC expires when your unpaid balance reaches zero. So yes, your Hash rate increases which just pays you back faster and gets your unpaid balance to zero faster right? So thinking about it it didn't feel right to me.
For example 5 blocks found with auto rebuy turned on increased my unpaid balance by far less then it decreased my unpaid balance with it turned off for 5 blocks.
Like I said when it was turned on I increases my hashing obviously ( which means I get paid back more/decreases my unpaid balance faster ) Still there are so many factors it just wasn't obvious for me.
I need to think about it more...
