That about sums it up thanks .

However I did not learn about paycoin from this forum .. I regularly read the GAW hash talk forums as well as have a GAW account with Hashtalkers and primes so I knew about paycoin for months.

What I did not know is it would have a 1 week POW phase , and I found that out by luck actually when I wondered why my Westhash payouts were 300% from the previous day.

If you're not afraid of a little math, you can figure out your expected payout pretty easily.  A true PPS-based pool assigns a value in BTC to every share, which is derived from the current network difficulty and the block reward.  As of right now, the difficulty is 40640955016, and the reward is 25BTC.  So, we can derive that each share is worth 25/40640955016, which is 0.00000000061514BTC per share.

That's all well and good, but how do you figure out how many shares your rig expects to submit in a day?  Another formula will get you that value:

Difficulty * 2^32 / hash rate / 86400 = expected time to solve a block in days.  For a 1 TH/s miner, that value is 2020.27 days.  Number of shares, divided by number of days = expected shares per day.  That same 1TH/s miner expects to find 20116567.61 difficulty 1 shares a day.  Take that and multiply it by the value of a share and you get expected earnings on a PPS pool per day.  The 1TH/s miner expects to get 0.01237451BTC a day.

Since our friends at Discus Fish charge 4% for PPS mining, you would get 96% of expectations, which is 0.011879523BTC.

You can change those numbers to fit whatever hashing power you have to determine what your expectations would be.

Hope this helps.

Edit:

Here's the formula all nice and prettied up for you to calculate expected earnings on discus fish.

Of course, if you're feeling really lazy, go to an online calculator like https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty, plug in your hash rate, take the resulting expected daily earnings and multiply it by 0.96.

Hi SP-Tech,

Having major problems with two of my units again after the exploits yesterday. Came home earlier & both of them were down again, I've managed to get one back online after multiple hard reboots, PSU swapping (all 1200w+) then reflashing the firmware again, but its showing this:



I'm still trying to get the other unit back though......

I've checked all the connections/cables for any kind of burning/melting - they're clean as a whistle.

What do you think? Are they on their way out? At first I thought it was a firmware bug, as this problem only started after upgrading to the latest, but having seen my stats page above I'm beginning to think it's something more severe......

Peace.

well they have a number for every th you mine with.

right now 1 th should earn 0.01237 btc a day  I believe their fee is 4%  so .96 x 0.01237 = what they pay for every th you give them

I think that comes to 0.0118752 a th not sure if that is the rate but it should be very close.

what is nice is they pay that daily. no worries about luck.


and here is the rate page

https://www.f2pool.com/help  they say 0.01187958 for each th you send at them

I just sent 1 of my sp20's at them to see if I like them.

No 12V to the hashing (main) boards. Only 5V to mgmt.

this happened to me and it was because one of my pci-e cables came unplugged

48 hours or so before the paycoin proof of work is done. Waiting for the inevitable mini-pump before the proof of stake. May bump up the miner to get the last little bit in.

I have 2 SP20s, for one of them I can not acces the settings page anymore,
My router assiged the following ip adresees : 192.168.1.99 and 192.168.1.100
I can access just fine the one ending with 99
But I can not acces the one with 100 anymore saying that the web page is not available when I try accessing it from my browser

Both of them are up and mining, they have the pool settings stored, I just can't access one of them's menu

this are the ip's asigned by the router: http://gyazo.com/1dcfb737298ce594e928aa99131f1dac


Any ideeas? thank you !
