What do you think about the performance of different pools? I.e. could the luck be different depends on the backend of the pool? In this case the quality of dashboard and even pool's fees are not so important if your luck is better then others because of pool's performance.
Could please anyone explain the reason of using Poolin (4% fees) in case there are many pools with lower fees (Slush 2%, F2Pool 2.5%, etc.)?
What terms of mining does ViaBTC have? I don't see this pool here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools, though there market share ~6%.
well ill chime in.....
i like mining on ViaBTC or slush for PPLNS, or Novablock for PPS+, although i mainly use the PPS+ pools as my roll over backups.
Slush pays transaction fees, and so does ViaBTC, but VIABTC also merge mines a few shitcoins at the same time......
anyway, do your research, keep asking questions etc.....
EDIT: i should add, i havent mined on Slushpool recently as they have had terrible luck, and like you said, with the halving coming, we need to accumulate as much as possible.,

Seems like you had several lucky days - 6 blocks during the week (20Dec-26Dec). What is your actual hashrate?
Average Luck for period (02-08 November) is 80% (!!!)
Average hashrate by pool (info from www.antpool.com) was ~100Phs
Average hashrate by cash generation (fact from solved blocks) ~80Phs
Luck 80%
Facepalm...

Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs
Repeat - SCAM ALERT - There is no such product as an SP40!
Pay extra caution and look our for incorrect URLs

And what about SP50? When this product will be produced?
The price is absolutely incompetitive. Chinese will make it (if this product is good 
) much cheaper - so where is a profit?
To my mind it's a great laundering of money, my condolences for investors.

Re: [BitBet] BitFury's ASIC WILL WORK WITH POWER < 1 W / GH/s
BM1385 is full custom, so is our 3rd gen.
So currently you are in the same team with Dogie, aren't you? (Bitmain team)Re: [BitBet] BitFury's ASIC WILL WORK WITH POWER < 1 W / GH/s
Bit of a weird thread to bump, but I'll believe it when I see it. The last 3 chips have never been independently verified or even seen outside of a super farm.
Considering they make up nearly 1/3rd of the network alone .... thats evidence enough.
Of power claims? Its only evidence that they have money, and $60M buys you a lot of miners and a lot of PR.
Bitmain pays you also for PR I remember times when Bitmain and Spondoolies were competitors on B2C market and Dogie pushed tons of shit on Spondoolies, Guy Corem answered Dogie.. and there was again and again.. What was it? PR
Regarding "buys a lot of miners" - do you have some inside? Did BitFury bought their miners? Whom? Bitmain?? It would be a sensasion
I haven't been contracted by Bitmain since May, so no they do not "pay me for PR". I've also generally been a supporter of Bitfury, who had the top spot and a near perfect score in my guide for a long long time. Guy claimed that the rating criteria specifically targeted them when it just didn't as it was applied on BFL first, and they still had 88/100 score. The rating criteria are designed to protect buyers, and their claims that they'd be able to finance the next generation without preorders or investment did indeed turn out to be false.
Back on topic, all I said about Bitfury is that no one has actually ever tested their miners who is able to speak about it, and so its hard to really take their repeated claims seriously. If you think I'm paid for PR, why don't you talk to Bitfury's actual PR company or their Head of Global PR.
Dogie, each huge company has PR manager. Would you said Bitmain doesn't have?
Your rating, as I wrote earlier, is rather candid - I don't have any remarks.
You are good at communication, indeed
Your arguments are convincing, but they are about other things. Last your post: "all I said about Bitfury is that no one has actually ever tested their miners who is able to speak about it" - and you are right. But one post before you had written absolutely another thing: "Its only evidence that they have money, and $60M buys you a lot of miners and a lot of PR". Each company have some reputation and you can't check yourself each detail. You may just believe or not. Sometimes companies with PR and money don't have good reputation, because there are some more important things in this world.
Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs
but looks liek I have ot settle for some Antminer S7's instead. 
No, you don't have to settle for an S7. Do the math. You are unlikely to ROI before the block halving. Better off buying BTC and hodling while it's 1BTC < $250 USD, IMO.+1
Bitmain and some customers calculate ROI with suggestion the difficulty will not change
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty
heh with the current difficulty rise likely due to KNC bringing up its 16nm chip run for their large world class data hall in iceland and bitfury going to do the same in probably
2-3 months in that they've taped out their 16nm stuff...this 5% diff rise could be a pretty good constant for the next 4-6 months ....trying not to be dramatic ..but it
kinda looks ugly if my guess above is right
Do you have some links about KNC 16nm miners? As far I know TSMC have not produced these chips for bitcoin miners yet. KNC are talking about these chips since the end of 2014, but it's just PR.
To my mind KNC has upgraded their 28nm miners like Bitmain, but I don't have any proofs & links.

Dogie is bang on the money here, this announcement by Bitfury is simply an exercise in misdirection and PR bullshit. They have had several attempts to make a really high efficiency chip and obviously don't know the recipe. It's easy to say 'my chip can do xJ/GH/sec' without revealing key factors like how big it is (very important), what voltage it runs at and the clock speed at the rated efficiency. In all fairness to Bitmain with their BM1385 they have fullfiled most of these conditions, but no mention of the die size as yet.
To believe that Bitfury can go from an alleged 0.2 J/GH/sec in 28nm to 0.05 in 16nm is nonsense, unless they have very specific measurement points that bear no resemblance to actual operating conditions in practice. 16nm is not a magic bullet - at best you will get half of the power consumption of an existing 28nm design and maybe 2.5 - 3 x the transistor density, very much depending on your design and memory content. KNC tried this same trick with their solar chip, presumably to try to dissuade their competitors and this is more of the same.
The only company that has ever been totally transparent in what they claim to be able to achieve in terms of power efficiency AND tell you how they actually achieved it (eg domino logic) is Spondoolies, and that's largely due to the collective industrial experience of their people and their attention to detail. I'm pretty damn sure that if they were still selling to the public they could come out with all kinds of data about what they could achieve and how they could do it, but they have wisely stayed out of this game and left it to the bullshitters.
By the way, anyone every looked at the size of Bitfurys various 'boards' - they have an awful lot of people to pay......what on earth do they all do? Is this some kind of weird vanity project?
A little tidbit I can share (not under any kind of NDA):
BitFury (Valery Nebesny) attempted to do async, domino logic 55nm 5 engine scrypt chip and failed.
Here is the chip floor plan:
I really liked George BS statement: https://twitter.com/BitfuryGeorge/status/639064051612524544
There are two all important parameters in Bitcoin ASICs:
GH/mm^2 - Capex and J/GH - Opex
With extreme design techniques, sub 0.1 J/GH is possible also on 28nm processes, the question is what will be the GH/mm^2 - miner cost.
Whenever BitFury gives efficiency numbers (J/GH), they never give the all important GH/mm^2 numbers.
When they're selling hosted hash-rate of their 28nm machines to their customers, they claim the machine efficiency is 0.35 J/GH
Interesting, I didn't hear about BitFury's scrypt miners.. Were there any announcements? I remember epic fail with scrypt miners from Bitmain, when guys had pre-orders on their site and then said "ooops"
