Re: Introducing CherryPicking - new Windows & Linux Pool Hopper
i've been looking at my mining data and continue to be very impressed with CP. blood i must thank you for doing such a great job. with roughly a month of data to look at, 1 Ghash/s is averaging .75 BTC/day. the last 5 days alone 1 Ghash/s has been averaging almost .9 BTC/day. anyone else with some comparison numbers? it would be awesome if i was the low to mid end of the spectrum.
I do not know how to do the calculations to get this information, but if you would like I can send you the info and you can calculate it yourself and compare. Just let me know the stuff you need to do the calculations...
all i did was take my average BTC/day for the 1 month period and divided by my hashrate(in Ghash/s)
so if i was mining 5 BTC/day at 7 Ghash/s: 5/7 = .714 BTC/day/Ghash/s, almost as good as my average
. it's a good stat to use when calculating how long a card will take to pay itself off. using that example, a new 5970 from newegg, with price tag of $500 and hash rate of 800 Mhash/s, would get about .5712 BTC/day. assuming current price(1BTC=$8.3) and difficulty remain the same, it would take about 60 BTC, or 105 days to pay off. this is not including electricity costs. using a common mining calculator, such as http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php or http://98.200.247.249:81/btc_calc.php, shows it would take about 133 days to pay off if you didn't pool hop. CP is giving me more than a whole months advantage over those poor saps who think pool hopping is unfair, or more than 2 months if i used my 5 day average (which will most likely drop) but is still crazy! now if only i had a 20Ghash farm...please correct me if any of the math looks wrong
