No worries Bro, you easily deserve it mate

I can truly say that this guy is the best. We have just taken one of the spots for a VPS from him and both the speed and the professionalism he showed in carrying out the setup was outstanding. He not only sold us a very fast stable server he helped setup the whole thing for us to just take over. All questions we have asked have been no trouble to him to answer ( even if we are new to running a server and a bit wet behind the ears ) and answer very quickly.

All I can say is that this has just earned in us a lifelong customer. We trust him completely as we admitted we were new and he has looked after us without a problem.

Cheers Bro for all the help

It's working fine for me now.

However a few hours earlier it wasn't showing a white page exactly it appeared quickly with how I would describe the static content like headers and titles for where the live data would go but the live data took around 2 minutes in some cases to load. It did load just took so long. If you refreshed the screen it came back with the same block titles straight away but no data from the live side of the information or the live graphical power meters etc.

Hope this helps but I'm not technical enough to explain exactly what I was seeing.

Jacko

I started at the beginning of this year.

Phil I wont be far behind you at the Bitminter 50th I would be 94.

There is a tiny reset button on the controller card. If you push that gently with a pen top or something it should reset back to factory default settings and allow you to connect back to 192.168.1.99 or whatever is on the sticker for the i.p address for the miner.

That's why I called it a Lottery.

I spend approximately converted from UK Sterling $22 per week on the UK lottery with odds of winning at 14 million to 1. Whats wrong with shifting that to a lottery pool with odds of 1 million to 1 for slightly less in electric costs. I have been playing the UK lottery understanding the risks due to the odds and have spent over the last 8 years $9152 in UK equivalent without even winning once. 1 million to one is cracking odds for the money. Call it a lottery pool and accept the odds and it is good in my eyes.

That puts the other 325834 members to shame then. LOL.

Just chucking some numbers out Doc as I have honestly no idea what it would take to run something like this in either man hours ( wages ) or equipment costs plus running costs etc.

I'm sure if it can work then you'll know exactly the correct fee to charge mate. It's just that in the early stages the pool would cost to keep going and the rewards might be few and far between. You have still got to eat Doc and have the occasional chill out beer.

Thanks for at least taking the time to look into it mate. You are a star.

Edit: Thanks to Phil for bringing it up. Really interesting Phil, Thanks.

Jacko

That's one of the reasons people like Bitminter. Doc answers pretty much all that's asked of him and in a timely manner too. Issues are dealt with promptly and quickly, both with peoples gear or the pool itself. Operators don't come much more reliable than that. At least you know that Doc's going to pay out when blocks are found. If Bitsolo won't answer any requests for information about their pool then it kind of makes you wonder.

I don't know what's involved in solo mining and didn't realise that you needed the whole blockchain.

One block a month actually does sound pretty reasonable. Someone would get around $14,700 or £8,855. The pool would get $1,280 plus transaction fees merged in the block. Again I'm not too sure what amount on average in BTC is included in a block regarding transactions. That would be based on the finder getting 23 coins from the block. The pool could also get the NMC payout from merged mining.

I would chuck all my retired gear at the solo pool, and I honestly think that 20TH/s wouldn't take long to achieve. The more the hash rate rose on the solo pool the more block finds you are possible to get. 40TH/s and you may get a couple of wealthy people per month. Depending upon what you consider wealthy to be.

On a side note I'm in the U.K. and I'm just getting ready to settle down with my Vodka, sorry family for the evening, and I've just noticed your clock on your mac mini, it looks like you are in the USA. East Coast at a Guess. LOL. Never was any good at Geography.


Jacko

That would be a pretty darned decent pool hash rate Phil. I have just had a quick look at bitsolo and they have around 10.1GH/s.

If it can get some new blood into the normal pool and any new solo mining pool then in my book it has justified a coat of looking at. I hope the Doc reads this and can make a comment on it, as I do believe he will have an idea for ball park figures already in his head for costs and feasibility. It may mean that the cost from each block to maintain the pool would need to be thought about carefully.

Jacko

I have about 8.3 TH/s pointed at Bitminter, which I'd keep. Also retired and gathering dust is a total of 230GH/s in varying small bits and pieces.

1BTC fee per mined block sounds like a good one. As you say it depends upon the Doc and also what would the costs be to run the pool to keep it around more than a week.

Jacko

Hey Phil,

That's a great idea. I have some old USB sticks and a couple of BFL little 60's and even a KNC Avalon 60 that I would love to point at a Lottery Pool. It would be like getting a Lottery ticket for the price of the lekky every week and you just never know if you are gonna win. If you do though a 25 coin win at £385 per coin at current rate equals a win of £9625. Better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick.

How about it Doc. Can you come up with something so I can bring my old Guy's back out of retirement.?

Jacko

Linkin Park and Numb

They are fail safe pools. If the pool at the top position fails they will switch to the second pool you have configured. If that pool fails they will switch to the third pool you have configured. If the first pool came back up it monitors the pools and would switch back to the first one. You only mine at one pool from the top down unless it fails.

Hope this helps.

I hope you and all your families are O.K. We don't get anything like that over here in the U.K.

Take care Guys.

Dyslexia rules K.O. I don't have a problem reading but do you have any disabilities?

Hey what gives. The last post and bottom screen capture shows me mining at 7,870 and I have 8,300. Only joking    one of my Terraminers switched to back up.

Doc's approximate stats are pretty much spot on for me too.
