Unfortunately I've reached my limit too and have moved to another pool.

I really love this pool though, so when reasonable profitability returns, so will I.


Did the same unfortunately.

PW, what's going on??

Anything going on with WP??  My hash rate just dropped about 30% but miners show they are fine???



Same here, I can see only 50%. See my post above.

PW,

Are the stats OK??
I can see only 1/2 of my hashrate.

Guys,

What do you think will the prof go higher then 0,005 again someday or is it a dieing business ?

Cause can use some higher prof need to fund new mining gear Wink



I'd like to see 0.01 back  Wink

Unlikely though.
Factors are:

1. Network hashrate - with asics entering mainstream probably will not drop driving difficulty even higher
2. Recent constant bad news in media re BTC
3. Tons of "shit coins"

Many others...

Lets see what next few weeks will bring, the time may come very soon to sell all GPUs on ebay and either invest in asics or focus only on trading...

Why is Clever Mining Kicking our ass?   


--
when i was at clevermining, I did calculations based on the actual hours/btc paid.  The per-hour payout was much lower than the numbers listed on clever's daily btc payout.

i get higher payouts and more accurate numbers here. fwiw.

I would normally agree, but today seems really bad for WP.

Is there anyone on here from the UK who could confirm if you make a profit with wafflepool? (and you pay for your electricity). Im only small time mining at about 5mhs using 5 r9 290x's for the past 4 weeks and the most I have made in a week of 24/7 mining is £17 profit with my electricity costs at £0.13 pkw/h. Id like to continue but this is not worth heating my shed and degrading my cards for that kind of return. Thank you

I'm in London, UK.  My electricity costs me £0.1155 per kWh plus a £0.35 daily charge.  I mine at about 2.5 mh/s and estimate my electricity costs about £3 every day.  I probably make about £4 a day (even less the last few days since BTC dropped in value).  So there's your answer.  £1 per day in profit.  Hardly worth it, but I'm doing this hoping that BTC (and other alt-coins) will go up in the future, not for immediate gains.  A massive risk of course, but hey, we'll see.

EDIT: forgot to mention heating.  My rig's actually been heating my flat since early January when I began this whole thing.  I actually switched my heating off soon after, so there's a small saving there too.

Thanks, I may switch it off and monitor bc value etc and see it picks up. Thats a nice bonus regarding savings on your heating but we know that the heat comes with noise and my missus would not allow that lol

I'm in Northern Ireland, electricity costs me ~ £0.12 and still making some profit.
During winter  I'd estimate ~£500 of heating oil saved as have rigs distributed around the house and use them as heating. (I'm mainly on 270s so pretty quiet).

HTH,
A

PW,

I've asked that before but received no answer. (Or quite possible missed the reply  Wink )
Is there an API to pull the individual stats?
I know that there is one for global, but I need to pull my workers stats, and would like to avoid screen scraping.

TIA,

A.
There must be one as the linked stats display has worker charts (at 1 hour resolution)...
Miles

You can get this by screen scraping as well, so not much of the proof.

So... Its not worth it for the price they are asking (200€) right?

I wouldn't buy them at 200 EUR. But do your own math with your assumptions, risk tolerance, opportunity cost etc.



I know they are a bit overpriced (a lot!), but what is crushing me is the energy bill...

I have currently a system doing 1200w for 2.5 mhash and another for 1000w doing 1.8 mhs...
Plus my main systems with 1.7mhash doing 700w

So it s a lot of consuption... If that gridseed costed 200€ but have 660khash, that would be a good alternative, but for now i don´t think so...

Too low khash for so much money...

One risk factor to add is defective units. I assume you have almost no warranty on them.
With GPU bought you still have 1-3 year warranty.

Hi!
Due to the fact that the profits are a little down here on waffle, i have (epic) splited my hash power with Clevermining.

5 Mhash each one... Lets see who wins the profit battle...

LPC

Tried that for sometime, but ended 100% on waffle.
CM reject % is huge and the hash they report doesn't match what I can see on the miners.
Point is, the profit they declare and the one you see don't match.

Wonder what is CleverMining mining, they're on 0.00583 BTC/MH, although their reject rates are crazy high.

"no-client-reconnect" was just added to cgminer-3.7.3 kalroth 20140324 and will have no effect on older versions it will be ignored.


My hashing rate just went down by about 14% for a bit, although cgminer rate displayed was basically unchanged, so I did a netstat on my 3 rigs.  All of them had the following connection displayed:

It was only for a few minutes, going back up now.



I found similar:

I concur but all is good right this minute.

Maybe stupid q, but do we know if i.e.: ns317663 is rouge or just one of waffle hosted boxes?

What is your usual wafflepool mining server?  useast, uswest, eu, etc.?


EU with first failover to USEast

bring the drama !

Do you really think we need a picture of a cat around here?

The internet gives everyone a place to voice their opinion.  The problem is everyone has an opinion.  And some have pictures of cats.


My opinion is:  I like the picture...  Wink

Have you counted the benefit of heating your house with rigs?
I'd estimate savings of ~£500 in heating oil thanks to rigs being distributed across the house (use mainly 270s so quite quiet though).

This argument holds true in the winter time. Much less in the summer.

Electricity prices in SE Europe are still quite low. Prices in the north of Europe are also high (Germany, Denmark).

What about moving rigs to SE Europe?

I have 26 rigs and 73 GPUs in total (280x and 7970s mainly). I am negotiating for lower prices for electricity.

Feel free to contact me.

In Northern Ireland it holds for 8 out of 12 months  Wink

that may be true, but I have bills to pay now unfortunately, currently, with the rig I have, the LTC I bought (stupidly high) in November, the deposit (and eventual full amount) for the Alpha, and electricity bills, I am about 10k invested in this, and so far I have mined 1 BTC, 2200 UTC and 10 LTC, so I am looking at getting out while I can with what I can, and from here on out I will day trade instead, I love the idea behind crypto and would like to gain some, but I feel I can do a better job at trading than I can at mining, it's a shame, as I enjoy it, will see what happens with the Alpha I guess, I'll still be sunk deep with that purchase, but £6.5k is better than 10k, lol.

I wouldn't let the rig go, Find somewhere else to plug it in.



If only I could, it's a big, noisy, very warm thing, and electricity in our house is 16p/ killowatt hour, which means £11.52 per day in running costs.
If I could plug it in for free power, I would be more than happy to keep it going to be honest, can I bring it round yours? :p
