Dont worry. The block will come. Sometime between now and the end of time. Maybe.

I just noticed a worker on my account called KPPassTheHash. And that was without even signing up. Thank you.

They will sit there until kano finishes writing his new accounting code. 

I collected some very pretty dust this past week. Love it.

Well, The 5 days of my free 4.7 Th/s giveaway is over, and I am ramped down. So now I will put it back on my account and ramp back up. 

Who would have guessed that zombies were related to OS choice.

I have had 2 2-pacs for about 3 months. No amount of playing with voltage would stop one or both from zombie'ing out every 7 hours or so.
2 weeks ago I wiped windows 10 from my machine and installed ubuntu. The first thing I did was git and build cgminer and start them back up.
They have been running for 11 days now without a stop. I never would have guessed.

Hempfrog:

You have been randomly chosen for 5 days of my S7.  Starting now.

Congratulations.

Yes, I decided to add to the pass the hash bonus and chose a random number 1-100 from the bottom of the stats page for the giveaway. You won.

Installed. cgminer freshly built and running my trusty gekko 2paks. Now I can do the stuff I installed it for.

Making the big move now. Copied my wallet and other files i want to keep from my laptop. Nuked windows and installing ubuntu.

I hope this was the first of dozens of blocks for Sidewinder.

It is all long long gone. This was in 2009, And on the small hard drive I had, I think it was a 2 gig. I wrote over stuff so often building this and that. I am sure it was long gone before the physical drive was. To the lost coin, oh well, it was part of the tuition I paid for learning linux/unix scripting and C.

I was learning linux on slackware back then. Built and installed bitcoin. Found a block on my cpu after a few days. Thought well, that was cute, and promptly erased it (and the wallet) and installed something else. It wasnt until it hit 9K that i realized what I had done and wished that I still had it.
   

Same here. I have been a small fish here and now down to a single s7 and waiting to see the 841 before I buy anything. I used this pool as failover and did so for a long time. I built alot of dust, but it was nice dust. So I eventually read this forum a few hundred pages of it anyway, and moved over. Just in time for the 600% block. It was hard. lol. I am glad I stayed. Payouts have been better than elsewhere, and block times vs share per block have proven so much better that there is no going back. Even as a small fish, and the first 600% block, I make alot more money here.  The 900% block would have been a killer, but I wish I had been here since then.  Now looking at the 841 on blokforge and wondering if they will become a stock item after Apr 15. I really dont want to buy anymore bitmain.

Thank you. They say MAYBE April on 841's. It will mean maybe having to ramp up again by not buying S9's now, but it would be worth it.

no 841's

I would like to get 3 or 4 of the avalon 841's. Who is the authorized distributor who sells them in the us?

So, all it took was recovering from a tide-pod and we had a block. Woohoo. BLOCK!
burp.

May we have another please?

and...
wouldn't you know that within 1 hour of going to the airport for a week long work trip, my s7 would go offline.

The chicken doesn't seem to be helping. Maybe I'll have a Tide Pod instead.

My simple understanding of how this works:
Assuming our current ramp to be about 16 days, And this guy mined for 46 days before bailing

He quit too soon.
Note there are several blocks where he got 6/5th of his reward.
Even after he left.

Go back and read at least the last 4 pages. Understand how it works. Yes you will make more, but if you are into short term and jumping ship for elsewhere, you will lose.
