.... The queue was 5.9ths and he is/has bringing/brought online 30ths+, that means 24ish ths dedicated to the old deposits.
Are you sure that the remaining 24ish THs are dedicated to the old deposits? I'm not sure because Pyra never mentioned this or maybe I have missed a post...
If so, who paid for the 24 Ths?
You missed a post or 2.
Pyramining paid for that hardware with the funds that had built up from deposits prior to him queuing deposits again, + the queued deposits + his own personal funds to get things back on track.
I am not in the mood to go back and actually quote him, but this is whats new.
Deposits are now assigned hashrate based on the cost of hardware at time of deposit, excess hardware gets split between the oldest 10 deposits.
When the "new" deposits get paidout that hashrate will get added to the pool of "old" deposits.
