We went down 7% then we went up 7%.
So we broke even in difficulty over last 2 periods of adjustment.

well I have been buying from a usa based seller.

altairtech.io


https://altairtech.io/product/bitmain-antminer-s21-xp/. went from 7200 to 8000

I rounded numbers

Was this increase made right after the announcements?

Do they ever have units in stock? (Pretty sure they stock some units.)

So, this already seems like a lot of traders are taking advantage of it. The increase should only be felt in the next batches of equipment arriving. The tariffs may be inadequate, but it is shameful that traders start taking advantage of them before they are even affected.

Well he has a small mark up on the gear.

Maybe 1000 profit on the 8000 dollar item.  Once it is gone he will need to pay the extra amount for new stock.

So to raise right away on that item makes economic sense.

In a debate I'm having on my local tab, a table appeared with mining cost predictions.


In my opinion, the hardware needs to take an evolutionary leap, so that we don't reach these values ​​in 10 years.
What do you think?

faster gear does nothing to help the issue.

All the big companies feed money into bitmain and the same problem exists.

My mine is gone not because the machines do not earn money. We have a limit to our cheap power.

in December 2023 a th made 13 cents and the diff was 67t

now in August 2024 a th makes 4.2 cents and the diff is 90.6t



the diff factor  is  90.6t/67t = 1.35x

blocks paid high in dec 2023  about 7.5 coins due to high fees

blocks pay 3.3 coins or a factor of 7.5/3.3 = 2.27x

so 2.27 x 1.35 = 3.06x

which is 13 cents a th now 4.2 cents

13/4.2 = 3.09x factor


but we went from 100th machines doing 3000 watts to 200th machines doing 3500 watts.

So better machines only helped bitmain.


We strictly need price boost one could argue 13 cents was too high and 8.4 cents a th was fair. that means price needs to jump to 125k asap

the only fix for the issue is price jumps to 125k asap. so that price gets infront of the diff.

right now diff is in front of price.

So the battle is as follows does price jump to 125k by years end or does the diff tank to more reasonable levels

Re: I want to fulfill my mother's dream of building a house with Bitcoin.

As ridiculous as it may sound, the truth is that I want to fulfill a dream of building a house with Bitcoin.
My parents took care of me from childhood and they taught me education and they are still trying to teach me education. Father is very old and it is not possible for him to work as he used to, so I myself feel that I should do something. At the moment, if I could somehow earn to help my family or pay for my education, then maybe the pressure on my father would be reduced a lot. I joined Bitcoin to fulfill my dream.

My mother has a dream to build a house, maybe in the future I will have to help her fulfill her dream because my father is spending the money he earns on my education and running the family so at the moment he cannot afford to build a house. I have already gained enough knowledge about trading by being involved with Bitcoin, firstly I want to start my Bitcoin journey through trading, after making some money from trading I plan to invest in Bitcoin for four years. These four years I will hold my investment and also save the money earned from trading or signature campaign for four years so that after four years I can start building the house. 

You must pray for me so that I can fulfill my mother's dream.

Good luck earning the BTC and saving it for your mom's home.

as you know PayPal lets you buy btc. So I will track my BTC accumulation on my PayPal account for the next 15 months.

I will delete every post that says "no keys not your money."

2) Is this PPS or PPLNS? It is labeled as score based pplns, but even after disconnecting from the pool for near 24 hours, come back and still have tons of shares. Or is all the math figured out when a block is found? It would seem that if people can disconnect for 24+ hours and still have active shares, it would drastically reduce the payout for active miners. Especially since the rounds are so long.
It is neither.
Perhaps reading the 1st post where how the pool operates is described would help? Wink

Geez, why even post? You added 0 to this thread. Of course I read that, it the exact same info on the front page of the site.

Its labeled as SPLNS.

Score per last number of shares. Avoid pool hopping. Well, if I can collect shares, disconnect for 24+ hours and still get a payout, I don't see how this stops pool hopping. After not mining for 24+ hours, my derp showed my estimate as around $5 worth of BTC. And before I disconnected from the pool I was at around $8 in BTC based of the derp score. I am sure even days later I would still have some derp.

That sounds really terrible and most likely why people are not joining this pool. If a block was found daily, sure. But extremely long rounds, now you end up having to split the reward with 100's of others that haven't mined in days.

I guess I will check my derp in another 24 hours and see.

But if someone can answer my question - Is this basically how it works? Or is derp re-calculated on block find? I think the code is available so can check myself, but figure easier to simply ask people that have been mining here for a while.


What  you need to understand is the pool has 869 th   forget the ½ ing  forget difficulty adjustments  and  go with 5n  and 869th

869 x  0.00001662 =  0.01444278 btc   then 12.5/0.01444278 = 865  this is 1n  so 5n = 4325 days

so our current real time 5n is 4325 days  disregarding

the ½ ing 
the difficulty
the fact that the pool may get more hash power
the fact that the pool may lose more hash power


but right now our 5n is 4325 days.  so shutting off for a day or two or three or four  means

the following

4324/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for a day
4323/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for 2 days
4322/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for 3 days
4321/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for 4 days

Now of course  just to fuck with your head I or anyone else can rent 10ph or 20ph from nicehash point it here for a day and  that 869th hashrate I based all the calculations on will get distorted.

I used the following constants of

869 th
0.00001662 btc a th daily earnings.
12.5 coin reward

to get a 4325 day 5n


Reality is all of those constants can and will change

The dow dropped to  18591
so  feb 20 price  29,219 would mean   -36.37%
and feb 24 price  27,960 would mean   -33.50%

gold  price went up to 1670
feb 24 price was 1682  that means    -0.71 %

silver price went up to 13.92
feb  24 price  was 18.87  that means -26.23%

Platinum price went up to 693
feb 24 price was 975        that means -28.92%

btc went up to 6739
feb 24 price was 9588  that means  -29.71 %   but when diff moves 15%   the figures for miners  not holders  will be.

6739 x 1.15 = 7749/9588 =   -19.17%

So the trend is leave stocks go to metals and BTC to protect assets.

Gold is king -0.71%

BTC ,Silver and platinum are  between -26.23 and -29.71%

BTC will get a nice boost for miners on wed the 25th when diff moves -15%

Rich people made a lot of money/asset moves since feb 20.  They have less faith in stocks then in metals and cryptocoins.

   OP pool has a transparency issue.  I clicked on it and can not see how to mine and what sub sections it has.
When you go to viabtc  it has a list of 12 separate pools.

   When you go to jerlis EMCD.IO pool  it does not list the separate pools.  It does not  say what  you can use to mine with
as you must register first.   So how can the mods know what is offered.  They can't!

Can I point an s9 to it and mine btc only maybe not sure unless I register.
Can I point a gpu to it mine eth and get eth maybe not sure.
Can I point a gpu to it mine eth and get btc maybe not sure.

Lack of transparency make it hard to decide what the pool really is.
Maybe it is a modernized nicehash  if it is it is a service not a pool.

Basically show the website without sign up for it.
I would not know how to fight for or against you unless I signup to the website.
So a mod is simply going to say fuck you I can't see what you really offer.

Sorry for English.

But we have more or less 24 hours of rental.

It varies due to the gear we rent from nicehash as it can switch on and off.

So a 24 hour rental of 10ph  may last 26 hours.

Yeah  some will mine to a fresh address hoping to beat taxes.
So buying 10 s17+ at 1567 each does not worry them.
I do think  most of this jump is bitmain cycling out some lessor gear and dropping in better gear. Or maybe a big farm went online.
A 6% jump is about 7eh
9         s19pros = 1ph
90       s19pros = 10 ph
900     s19pros = 100 ph
9000   s19pros =  1    eh
63000 s19pros =  7    eh

63,000 x 3.3kw = 207900kw or  207.9 megawatts.

This is a lot of gear.  I know a plant was being built in Canada it was supposed to do 300 megawatts.  Maybe  they went on line.
