Thanks for the response.  Just looking for a bit more education.
My understanding is that it is mostly luck that determines whether we build a new block.
That being said, more is better. It is like buying lottery tickets.  The more you buy the better your chances of winning.
But, I wouldn't spend a million to win a million.

I am going to keep watching the blocks created and see if we improve as more of the larger rigs get online.

I have more ordered myself.   But nothing over 100 Ghz.

Thanks

Hi

Great job with the pool and the mining software. 

I wonder if any thought has been given to a tiered approach to the pool.  In other words, have a pool for the really big guys and another for us smaller folks.
I figure it is worth a thought given that there is no way we can keep up with guys running 2 Thz.

Just opening for discussion.

Just wanted to say hello.
I have been mining a couple years.  1st cpu then GPU.
It has been interesting to watch the changes in the speed of mining.  This latest increase is something.
I am in the BitMinter pool now.  I would say it is the easiest I have found to connect to and monitor what is happening.
The Dr is doing a great job.  opinion.

Patiently waited my 9 months for a couple Butterfly Jalapenos.  I should have ordered more in retrospect.  But, my pockets aren't that deep.
They were not upgraded and getting around 9Ghz total for the 2.
