Re: [4700 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+Orphan+NMC, Stratum, Private Servers
BTC Guild represents one of (if not the) largest group of miners. We have fallen from 1st place in terms of raw speed. However, GHash.io's last statement was that 45% of their speed was their private farm (cex.io). BTC Guild itself has no private hash rate. My ASIC collection consists of a single Avalon and a dozen USB Block Erupters, none of which are currently running. Eligius has passed BTC Guild on occasion in the last week, because it now has 2 users that represent approximately 35-40% of its entire pool speed. BTC Guild has some power users, yes, but the largest one is not even 8% of the pool. The top 5 users represent approximately 20% of the pool, and then it drops *drastically* after that.
thanks for this eleuthria, in honesty, this is just what we have grown to expect from you, clear concise honesty. I'd buy you a bunch of flowers but the missus has a monopoly on that one - especially today.
keep up the good work, I wasn't particularly having a dig at the pool, just the overall network hashrate, which is unfortunately, out of everyone's hands.
again, keep up the good work, and thanks for taking the time to respond to my query, even though you answered before i'd asked!!
