I started mining on this pool just a few weeks ago, but, whats the avg earning / day for 200 GH/s for example?(1 antminer S1).

For example, one day i earned around 8 , another 10, another maybe 5... it depends always on the blocks of course... sometimes a block is found with just mins or 1 hour, and sometimes you have to wait 17 hours xDD

That question is the intrigue of The Great and Mighty SLUSH POOL. Since Slush is not the biggest fish in the sea, there is no "average day" and therefore, no "average earning / day". On the rare day, we may feel lucky to get 1 block resolved, and then on another we may be so blessed as to get 10 or more blocks resolved. These past few days have been wonderful, and that is why I mine SLUSH. I find it boring to sit back knowing that every hour, we would find a block and that being part of a "super sized" pool, each and every participant would receive his tiny share of the reward, but the consistency would be there at at the end of the month or the end of the three month cycle I would find "X" bitcoin in my wallet. With SLUSH, we may have a slow day with 1 block, and the next day we may have a very exciting rush of blocks. Ultimately, and "on average", at the end of the month I would find that same number of Bitcoin in my wallet, but the "roller coaster ride" made it all worth the drama and excitement of mining with SLUSH. Typically any of the Bitcoin Calculators will tell you what to "expect" to earn in a given month. If you work with a "super sized" pool, you'll find that estimation to be fairly close. If you work with a less than "super sized" pool, you'll find that estimation to be fairly close. The way that I look at it is, do I want to be bored while waiting for my Bitcocin bank to build, or do I want DRAMA, and Excitement, and a bit of misery along the path to the bank, and every time, I choose SLUSH. Ride the roller coaster! Cool

I ran a 7-week experiment starting in 11/2013 where I pointed 1/2 of my hashing power to BTC Guild. I earned almost exactly the same but just a little more here. Granted that is an unscientific experiment but it was to silence a current and any future whiner. And I am glad to see you get some excitement out of being here but I was here to earn cash. My old farm of block erupter blades and cubes are no longer generating what they cost to run in electricity costs and today is possibly their last day running as I consider shutting them down. Any new mining equipment these days is priced too high vs difficulty pushing it to obsolescence in weeks, anything even close to ROI is impossible. Even as an enjoyable hobby I'm not spending $1,000 to return $100.

Maybe enjoy the ride, I do agree some gear is not worth running now, if you consider what you got involved in, if you want to turn cash around fast and not hold coins over time or at the end you are correct, look at pre last xmas prices, we wont hit them again, but every coin today if you believe in Bitcoin is worth more in the tomorrows to come
