While I havent mined in years, it breaks my heart to see this pool unable to keep up with the network Sad

Doc, would it be feasible to work something out with the other old but now small pools to share blocks? Im thinking eligius, btcguild, slush,..

Looks like the pool is growing again. Over the last couple of weeks it hit a low of just under 1,000 TH/s and has added over 100 TH/s since. That's a 10% gain. Not bad.

what is tough is the power costs to btc price. lets say you have good gear for power antminer s-3's 6 of them and you get the full 500gh.

which is about 3th at about 2200 watts. that is 2.2 k watts an hour x 24 = 54 kwatts a day about 1620 in a month .

at 10 cents it is 162 usd
at 15 cents it is 283 usd
at 20 cents it is 324 usd

3th earns about 630 usd before power cost and all other monies.

margins are very tight waiting on coin say 1 block a week is hard if the money goes towards power and purchases.

the low btc price along with high diff made me leave here. I was here for close to 2 years
