Nicehash allow you to point all the hashing power to Kano.is? How many hrs do you get to use 100TH for that $500? Hmmm.......I may look into this as that sounds like a good gamble for a great pool such as Kano.

When renting their rigs, yes. is it gambling, maybe. Everything in life is

Nicehash has a calculator when placing an order. Give it a shot

I asked the same question few pages ago but nobody answer me. How much will i gain if i rent 100th for let say 12 h, and in that time if we solve 5 blocks or 1, doesnt mater? Im confused because of the 5nd pplns.
Thanks

Hard to say.... Try to play over the full 5ND cycle.
You will start losing money at start (investment period,) but you could come up ahead.

Here is data I found. make what you want out of it

- Nicehas (NH) has reports that average rental price for last 30 days was 0.0053 BTC per TH/s - WestHash
- You need to add 3% fee on top of that as that is how much NH scrapes of every order you place. That will put you at about 0.00545 BTC per TH/s
- Zach CKpool monitor says that if you were on Kano pool for a 30 days, you should made about 0.00585963 BTC per TH/s
- Delta in between these two should be a profit I guess

Maybe I am wrong in the statement above, but I am running 30 days project to test the theory.

Hope this helps.

That's interesting, Zem. We ran Slush's Pool for several months and were getting a consistent 30-day yield of 0.24-0.28 BTC with 2.9Th/s...or about .08 to .09 BTC per Th/s. Quite a difference from Zach's figure. Gonna have to watch this thing carefully, I guess. I'm only running 7 days of test here; if it doesn't at least meet our previous experience, and slightly better than the same stats for the same period as Slush, I'll have to move it back to Slush.

Onward. Cool

I guess this is your 30 days yield with 2.9 TH/s is 0.24-0.28 BTC, which is about 08 to .09 BTC per Th/s

To top my math above, you will need to multiply my 0.00585963 number by 30 (days), which give's you about 0.1757889 BTC per TH/s (Earnings over 30 days). Zach number is only TH/s average over last 30 days, not a total earning.

Hope this helps. Can any of other math wiz's validate the math above?

I see. I got the impression the number he was quoting was for 30 days. So, they're not THAT far apart. There's a significant difference in criteria, I think, for us folks who are running our own hw/farms and the renters...an even greater difference between us who don't have to pay for power, and those who do, and what the relative cost of the power is. That's what has drawn me to BTC...it's new ground, gonna impact the world, and us folks are on the point. It's not about money any more for me and my principal...it's about the principle (pun intended).

Just wish (again) that I had not "bailed" on the BTC thing years ago when it was new, and I had mined over 1K BTC (which at that time would buy a soda at McDonald's), then lost the wallet when the laptop HDD died without my backing it up (yeah, dumb with a "D"). Today, all I and my principal are looking for is to accumulate a modest BTC base for retirement security.

Mine on, my friends. Cool
