Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - Working Beta

Hi,

No CPU miner available ?

I won't do it.
Unless you are extremely lucky, you're not going to mine a single block for days, with the current difficultly levels.

If you are getting 300GH/s, you should be mining ~1 block per week. If you are mining with a CPU, you should be getting ~1 block per year. It's not worth mining on a cpu.

Where/how can we check the network hashrate ? I can't access to the block explorer.
With a normal GTX 980, I can mine at about 650mh/s : I know there are some private miners with a R9 280X mining at 800mh/s, but I can't believe hashrate is so high than you need 300GH/s which correspond to a good gpu farm (375 280x) to mine a block per week.

Pretty sure he meant MH/s.

The current network rate is 417 GH : siacoin.com:9983

Us poor AMD folk are getting much less. I just stopped mining. My measly 55 MH/s just does not cut it.

Edit: By poor AMD folk, I mean just me. Cheesy

Ya I have cut my amd miners off. Even the Nvidia guys with maybe 1 or 2 gpu's will struggle as well to hit a block with the network hash so high now. Better off almost mining for a bitcoin lol

Either have a decent farm or ya got lucky in the first 24 hours of mining. Even with my AMD's I did find many blocks right out of the gate once I figured out the miner software, after a 3 hours and almost giving up, glad I didn't. but by the next day I was finding maybe 1 block each 24 hrs with 400 MH total.
