Just to reiterate wk's point using your own posts:



It's not "completely out of line" to point out that if you missed how difficulty increases will affect earnings which will of course certainly affect payout frequency assuming payout amount remains constant, then wk is right.  You haven't been very diligent in your research.  The bold part of your posts above illustrate that very plainly.

Everyone does have to start somewhere.  There's nothing wrong with not knowing.  

But accusing someone of somehow "stealing" from you when you're largely ignorant of what's going on isn't very wise.

To expound of what GrapeApe posted - they're separate.  

The pool itself runs nearly flawlessly 24/7.  The stats page has an issue from time to time on rare occasion.  But it doesn't affect the pool nor mining.

But to address the "cannot show what my mining is actually doing or gaining" part you shouldn't be using the stats page alone to monitor your miners' activity or performance.

Dante said it best.  "Abandon all hope..."

I need to get out more?  From the user that posted -

 




All of those are ad hominem.  And on the socialization level of a toddler.

I've replied with facts and information.  You've replied with petty insults and a fair amount of ignorance.  Anytime I offer a reply of substance, you go the "TL;DR" (or TI;DR) route.  I won't apologize for taking time to reply or offer information.  I've done so in many threads, with no angle of any kind of personal gain or profit.

I have no issue with you doing as you please.  You dismissed the information presented simply because you didn't like it, agree with it, or understand it. Which is fine.  But don't offer accusations or aspersions against the presenter just because you don't care for the information.  As you say, let others judge it.  You've offered your opinion on it.    I'm not forcing anyone here to be anything except perhaps educated.  What they do and choose beyond that is there own decision to make.

I do find it hilarious you cite dogie's thread - a thread where he actually WAS clandestine about his purpose - and accuse me of doing the same.  Which I am clearly not.  I've left all the information open source, if you will, in that regard specifically for that reason.  I'm not looking for profit or gain in any of this, dude.  I'm here to help others.

For the record I "get out" plenty.  

My wife and kids would appreciate me at home more but I travel a lot for business, so it's a constant balance.  

Buy hey, you've avoided all the other facts, so please feel free to ignore those as well?  

Enjoy!  I'm actually wrapping things up here at the homefront for tonight.  

Wrong answer damn it. 

Oh well.  We all gotta die somehow. 

You're really, really tempting me to wire up a 220v outlet where our mining equipment is and switch over to these higher capacity beasts.

I have a buddy who "was" an electrician for some time and would probably be easy coerced with beer to help me electrocute myself.

Give me a reason not to pursue this please!

Glad to hear at least one of the minions has been properly whipped into shape!

Keep up the excellent work.  Truly. 

I make it a point to forward nearly anyone I know involved with mining toward this thread and the other threads highlighting the use of these more inexpensive, yet highly efficient units.

Well, as always, I tried to be helpful.  I'm here to help others.  And you're here... to?  I posted information to help others.  Information on solutions that I certainly didn't come up with, but that are vastly superior to your "free" (will they be paying you next purchase, if you use 3x rebate cards?   ) power supplies.  Not just initial cost-wise, but operation-wise with respect to energy costs.  In addition, I posted information via the link to regularly updated table where low-cost but high value mining-hardware friendly supplies can be purchased from major vendors.

Isn't that what this thread is for?  Seems so.  How is that spam?  How is that "covering [my] tracks after being exposed"?  Exposed as ...what?  Helpful?  

I'm gaining absolutely bupkis from any of this.  It's part of what makes this a community - the free sharing of information.

By all means continue to bask in your own ignorance unfettered from this point henceforth.  

Can't say I didn't try.  The horse was appropriately led to the water.  It died of thirst of its own volition.

Uhh... go back and read what you wrote in the portion I quoted and then read my response again.



Like I said if you're not familiar with the method of cashing out Rebate Cards for their full cash value, you're missing the boat.  Requiring yourself to make gift card purchases using those Rebate Cards is a backasswards philosophy.  

Rebates Cards = Cash.  Simple as that.  I could introduce you to the wonderful thing that is manufactured spending today too, but let's not shatter your fragile little world just yet.  


Not free.  That's the issue.  You're treating the Rebate Card as some sort of free money or coupon.  It isn't.  

You paid into a purchase to get it. You're then treating it like a free $20 bill you found on the street when you apply it to your next purchase.  See the error in that logic?  You're claiming a "low price" on the front end AND the next purchase using the same $20.  

Did you even click the link in my signature?  I'd venture to guess I spend more at Newegg in a month than you're probably spending there all year, and I'm doing upwards of $20,000 in rebates redemptions a year.  Not trying to brag or anything there.  Even my level of spending is stil considered small potatoes.  But I do kind of have a clue what I'm talking about dude.

The best deals out there per A/watt are generally those $10 or less per unit server power supplies.  A few people mentioned them in this thread.  They're server grade hardware designed to run 24/7 at high efficiency not Bronze like the CX500.  Multiple units can also be wired up to do load balancing across many mining end-points.  

There's nothing wrong with your route for a small time operation of a couple of S1's although the loss on efficiency does mean more in terms of an electricity bill.  But there are better and more cost effective options out there.

So if trying to educate people on how to purchase low cost hardware is spamming then yeah count me guilty.

Yup great recommendation.

Yeah.  You don't have to go that route dude.  At all.

Time to discover a place that takes payments near the second longest river in the world, my friend.  PM me if you need more help figuring it all out.

Rebate cards = Cash in your pocket for the total amount.  No flubbing around with keeping records of which card has what left on it.

As for power supplies on the cheap, take a look at dogie's thread.  There's a link to regularly updated pricing in my signature.

You and your team's agility in revision cycles and turn-around is great.

Even with the lazy-good-for-little workers you rant about occasionally! 

Great.  Now I have incentive to try this myself with a few drunken buddies in some undetermined upcoming weekend.

Someone should start writing my obit now!

Btw I got our most recent order over the weekend.  Many thanks! 

I was on the road out out of town until this morning so I didn't get a chance to open it until then.

sidehack and Gekkoscience are really great people to work with.  No one should hesitate to buy from them.

BTC-e works.

NMC payouts have temporarily been suspended until wk can go back and fully fix/rectify any issues last I heard, though.

It definitely has a marked improvement in readability which really may help new users.

Good job.

Agreed.


Also agreed.  I think you were the same user that posted this in another thread or even earlier in this thread, so thanks for continuing to do so.

I find that is a much, much more likely issue than other speculative ideas put forth.


This is my practice by default so perhaps that's how I've avoided it on my own networks and others I've helped with Cubes do the set-up for.

That just seems basic standard good practices to me but maybe I don't fall into the "everyday man" category anymore.  

Bookmarked.  Thanks!

I'd be down with that.  I ..uhhh.. volunteer as tribute?  If anyone at Eligius needs help writing documentation or even just keeping it updated, I'm available. 

Shoot me a PM or respond here if that's more prudent.  I'll take no offense if my offer is declined, either.

It's a configurable option in case that isn't apparent by now.  

I think 0.01048576 is the absolute minimum.  It used to be lower, but wz or wz/Luke-Jr raised it a bit.

Well that's a much less subtle way to say what I was thinking when I just posted.
