Not good...

I just leased InvactusRig2 (Scrypt 12.25 MH/s) for an hour and I think it averaged only about 9.5. leaserig says 9.74, rough number based on pool stats put it closer to a flat 9. So let's say 9.5 to be kind. That's almost 3 MH/s (ie, 25%) short of the declared hashrate.

It also started preconfigured for the owners pools (one was hashcows) so a minute or two was lost removing those and adding mine, during which time I'm basically paying him to mine for himself.

I was watching pool stats and leaserig stats closely and there was quite a lot of variation. Going by pool stats it started at around 10, slowly got to about 11.5-12 and stayed there till about half way through. At the mid point it shot up to around 14-15 for just under 5 minutes then to 10 for a while, down to 8 and finally closing at around 6 before the contract finished. I think maybe the owner was adding/removing rigs from the proxy throughout the contract because the changes were sudden. The leaserig stats are much lower resolution but still there was a lot of variation, and still the average was lower than declared.


Overall, not pleased. I don't mind variation, especially since normally it would level out over a longer contract but being shorted 25% is just crap.

I regret the lease, wish I could get a refund and definitely I wouldn't recommend this guy's service to anyone.

30% refund received (covers the missing MH/s), will give another go sometime.

As for the pool mixup, maybe I forgot to add a pool before leasing or leasrig was slow to switch (seen that a few times now)
