@CK,

Quick two questions...

1.) Does a higher bestshare increase Herp faster? I see you wrote that we get rewarded for higher shares.. but was that just for smaller miners? or if my machine gets a share in the billions vs. millions - does it increase my herp faster?

2.) If I rent hashrate, is it better to get one rig at somewhere around 1 PH/S - 500 TH/S or Fifty 10 TH/S Miners?
I thought it would be better to get more smaller ones and split them up.. but the bigger machines get larger bestshares.. so if bestshare helps increase herp, than multiple rentals would be better than just one larger rental?

BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK! I can feel it coming baby! Lets GO GO GO!

1. Yes but on average it will smooth out if you have a high hashrate so in practice, no. It only makes it possible to get a bit more if you're a tiny miner.
2. It makes zero difference. The bigger machines do NOT get larger bestshares; that's just your perception. Only overall hashrate matters. Remember that 1PH "rigs" are actually just hundreds of the same smaller rigs.

Basically, there is no way to "game" the system to get better rewards. Just get the most hashrate you can afford at the cheapest price.

Okay got it! Thank you CK!! Appreciate you!

I'm not trying to beat or "game" the system.. Just want to do it the right and most efficient, best way possible.

I just wasn't sure if multiple different "workers" was better than one big hashrate "worker."

Since you said that smaller miners have that bestshare bonus, I just thought that was a better option, and also a better chance of finding a block..

I figured that if I had miners spread out over the world, better chances at finding a block than just one user in one location.. But I guess it doesn't really matter.. Just get the most hashrate I can for the best price.. I only have a 30 Th/s rig here at home, so I like to rent sometimes and "roll the dice."

But thanks for the answers, I do appreciate it!

I had a best share at over 10 billion, was the highest I ever had.. and it was after I reduced my S9 frequency to 550, which I thought was weird..

So when that happened I wasn't sure if that share raised my Herp more than usual.. Wasn't sure if the higher share was better for my herp than a slightly higher hash rate..

Best,

- Mikey
