Thanks. Double word score for a very thoughtful and thorough answer. Certainly exceeded my expectations there - I didn't think anything questionable was happening, but it just seemed odd. The pending balance fine so I think you essentially nailed it.
I tried to ask a different question earlier and had it booted back by the"lords of the board" so going to word it differently and see how that goes. On MRR I have a choice of US, Europe, and typically Singapore for rigs. Do you have any suggestions about whether it matters or if one would be more optimal than the others on your site? My naive understanding is that with higher diffs the latency matters less, but would like to make sure I am as optimized as possible.
thanks again. I didn't back off the SHA as expected - assume you don't mind

. Still bizarre it's cheaper to rent the entire rig for a month than run my own but so be it until solar gets fixed for the S9s and particularly the T9s
Absolutely, and no problem, there are many things going on so even with what I listed there are other factors like BTC exchange rate as its risen quite a bit in the past few days. Some alts follow while others are stagnant at the moment.
As far as MRR locations, I'd say USA is probably a best bet for multiple reasons besides just latency such as stability. Latency plays a bit of a factor when the pool is sending job shares to each miner and needs to speak back and forth to the equipment especially when being relayed through MRR in a "hands-off" sort of approach. The cost effectiveness of a plan then also needs to be taken into account, if Singapore for example were to be a much cheaper option to rent over a period of 24hrs, then you would need to decide if that latency is going to reduce the hashrate earnings beyond what other locations would.
appreciate the feedback (once again) - as I said i pulled my SHA equipment waiting for solar to get to 30,000 kWh/month. Not easy in parts of california so in the middle of what I would describe as a creative process. Was really bizarre as I worded the original question (naively) differently regarding best location for rentals and I got "bitch slapped" big time by moderator. Lesson learned is don't ask where you are, ask where i need to be

. lol. I really don't care about the former. Seems like rigs from europe work just fine. My L3S are home and US based so all good. SHA all rented, mostly US and some europe. Like I said very cheap right now. Haven't tried the Singapore rigs much. Am kinda locked for a month then can fire mine back up so all good. Great pool - really have been impressed with the results, and the open and responsive feedback. Pretty good aquantance of one of the other SHA Multipool operators (do your own math on that easily solved riddle). But just can't be bothered to deal with 20 crappy coins I have to go convert.
What do you think about adding Litecoin Cash (if it happens) to the pool (I do NOT want to start a debate on whether it is legitimate, good, bad, whatever). I am a miner and indifferent to politics but it's an interesting addition to the SHA ecosystem from a strictly mining perspective. #Moderater - please don't yell at me again

all good on the BTC balance thing - it just got backed up from a confirmation perspective. Looks like tomorrow will be close to .04 so that certainly makes 1 day insignificant. I assume your cool with me being in the 35% range with SHA. I don't want to hammer the pool and am not hopping. Plan to stay steady in the 75-100Thz range if all good. A slight change in earlier strategy.
