Soo do you guys advice to use d=131072 for a L3+ miner or not?

mycide · · #23482

dont bother with warranty... its like what 2 weeks or something... if machine breaks u screweden no matter if u got warranty or not. b the time u get new machine or fix broken one, 1-2 months time.

mycide · · #23483

anyone buying it from local reseller saying they got 2 year warranty. im laughing my ass off.

mycide · · #23484

they just say that because legal reasons. try return one broken and tell me how well that went.

amerend · · #23485

@suicide I bought 10 S9 from a Europe reseller and I had 2 machine repaired after a 13 month under warranty...

rteja99 · · #23486

so d=131072 is the best for antminer l3+?

miles888 · · #23487

Personally using 32768 - let me know your earnings with 131k, 32768 gave me ~28$ yesterday

miles888 · · #23488

*for one L3+

miles888 · · #23490

These darned spammers need to get lost

miles888 · · #23493

Pretty sure they are chinese based on timezone or thereabouts. Complete incoherence of the posts adds to that conclusion

should i set a minimum network difficulty?

n00bminer · · #23500

seriously?

n00bminer · · #23501

halfdime: I do not, but if you are on NH then you may want to

halfdime · · #23502

Noobminer, thanks was just wondering if it made any difference since i never really messed with it.

@Tom3 :  im no longer promoting hashflare with the banner i used to have. im no longer reinvesting

edwd89 · · #23510

I’ve just joined the prohashing. Do I need to purchase a miner? If so, where?

kool77 · · #23511

What’s the best difficulty value? now I just set 16384.

jimbo207 · · #23512

@edwd89 :  not really a good time to purchase a miner, i’d wait for next generation if i were you. Be very skeptical of resellers. Bitmain.com is a good place to look. In the mean time you can rent hashpower from places like Nicehash if you’d like to get your feet wet.

SpacedCowboy · · #23513

Question: If I’m mining letting the pool choose all my mining settings, should the general form of my payouts follow that of the "Total miner earnings" on the home page, all other things being equal ?

SpacedCowboy · · #23514

(because I’m not seeing the ’bump’ upwards on the 10th and 11th)

sassoshots · · #23515

@edwd89 :  i have an antminer l3+ for sale

sassoshots · · #23516

check my amazon link

sassoshots · · #23517

@edwd89 :  https://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=UTF ... asStoreID=

sassoshots · · #23518

is site down??

edwd89 · · #23519

@jimbo207: They say hashpower is a scam

jimbo207 · · #23520

@edwd89 :  I never made any money renting from Nicehash, it was pretty much a zero sum game. And you probably wont either unless you write a great bot. But its a way to try out mining and see first hand how PH works.

sassoshots · · #23521

@edwd89 :  just buy a miner

sassoshots · · #23522

does any one know how the algorthm for this pool works? steve? like if the price of a coin goes down you will receive more of the coin to compensate for your work correct?

sassoshots · · #23523

and if the price of coin goes up during mining you will mine less of that coin?how often does it calculate the price of coin to determine your payout based on your shares

moonshooting · · #23524

sassoshots wrote: and if the price of coin goes up during mining you will mine less of that coin?how often does it calculate the price of coin to determine your payout based on your shares
It has nothing to do with the price of a coin. You are paid in the coin, not USD, If the price of the coin goes up, the coins you mined are simply worth more. The network difficulty adjusts higher or lower based on a list of things depending on the coin. Google bitcoin difficulty to understand how it work.

sassoshots · · #23525

i know how regular pools work, i was just thinking the work your being paid for on this pool is proportionate. this is not your typical pool where you just mine the coin your hash power is being used to mine multiple coins and you are paid in your preffered coin

sassoshots · · #23526

im not speaking of mining a coin dirrectly im talking about PPS @moonshooting : 

sassoshots · · #23527

and when i meant the price of coin i was speaking about your payout coin.

moonshooting · · #23528

It’s all the same. You are paid for the work you do and earn the coin you worked for which is then exchanged at the rate of exchange into your perfered coin. The exchange happens instantly if I had to guess. Get the coin as fast as possible as to not cause negative swings in value of work.

sassoshots · · #23529

right, so if your payout coin raises in value before you are paid for the share you would be receiving less of that coin

sassoshots · · #23530

only saying this because i was looking at the block explorer and some of the vvalues of the coins are a bit higher than they really are so im assuming they dont update instatly with realtime price of coin

moonshooting · · #23531

gotcha. I will have to look at that too.

sassoshots · · #23532

steve what apis are you using for the value of the coins?

any comments on PH vrs. NH?

yes, tons

macsheadroom · · #23536

my net profit yesterday for an L3+ was $10, what the heck is wrong here?

_asdf · · #23537

My net profits are also substantially lower than previous days.

_asdf · · #23538

My net profits are also substantially lower than previous days.

hashingpro · · #23539

And you do realize they will only continue to go down right? As more batches of miners arrive online, and the profits get spread over more people/workers/miners.

sassoshots · · #23540

do you get paid for finding a block in pps?

sassoshots · · #23541

like when it says found blocks under your earnings

hashingpro · · #23542

if solo you get it, if pooled, its split among the workers

sassoshots · · #23543

dam i found a novacoin block was thinkking that 14 bucks was gonna go to me lol

hashingpro · · #23544

wait til you find the $1200 blocks and then realize you dont get it 8)

sassoshots · · #23545

LOL

hashingpro · · #23546

It was exactly like sex....yes...yes....Yes....YESS!!!!

hashingpro · · #23547

NO. awwww too bad.

sassoshots · · #23548

thinki would find a litecoin block within a month with an l3? haaaaaaa blueballs

hashingpro · · #23549

id doubt it, but that was the LUCK %s are for.

hashingpro · · #23550

https://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashrate=500&speedunit=MH%2Fs&difficulty=753133.3443113&price=67.20000&currency=USD&power=&energycost=

sassoshots · · #23551

a block a month would be nice

sassoshots · · #23552

thanks

hashingpro · · #23553

Probability of a Block in 30 days 35.06%

hashingpro · · #23554

do if you had 3L3+s you may find 1 block per month maybe.

hashingpro · · #23555

but again, thats with TODAYS data, by the time the month is up, another batch of L3+s will be online, so thay may drop from 35 to 30 by end of the month.

sassoshots · · #23556

exactly

sassoshots · · #23557

i have 3 just gonna sell the other 2, we talked bout that lol

hashingpro · · #23558

before everyone else does.

hashingpro · · #23559

the people who ordered back in july with the numbers, are going to get miners in the next 3 weeks, turn them on, wonder what happened to their projected profits, get pissed, and THEN try to sell them for 2X profit

sassoshots · · #23560

yurp, time to flip d3s, demand for l3s is falling and will fall once they realize, exactly

hashingpro · · #23561

I expect to see a LOT of barely used due to electricy and profit miners up for sale on Ebay in the next month here.

sassoshots · · #23562

yea theres over 20 listed on amazon mines kinda lost within those

hashingpro · · #23563

I would change how Ebay works if I owed it, make all accounts buyer only accounts. If you WANT to sell on there, you send in $50 and become a seller, and the seller fees come off that deposit. If you scam, the scamee and ebay split that 50 after all the refunds to punish scammers.

hashingpro · · #23564

maybe someone can answer this if they know, on the main page's live profitibilty chart

hashingpro · · #23565

the bar goes up and down with the results of the past 250 shares..averages..minuses.. the numbers under the bar. 0 - 7.35

hashingpro · · #23566

is the 7.35 the current so far today's average for payout?

hashingpro · · #23567

or are the numbers at the end under the bar just there to give a bounds on upper limit of the bar currently?

moonshooting · · #23568

So those with multiple miners, do you have any "unlucky" machines? I have 2 and today and most days, the same machine finds 97% of all the blocks while the other pitifully just does it’s thing LOL. Seriously today I have 37 found on my "first" machine with 2 on my other. Strange!

hashingpro · · #23569

both same settings, other than n=miner1, n=miner2?

moonshooting · · #23570

also, all this talk about selling your L3+ machines. I wouldn’t mind buying some RIGHT NOW if you have them in possession. Will pay with LTC :)

moonshooting · · #23571

hashingpro wrote: both same settings, other than n=miner1, n=miner2?
yup

hashingpro · · #23572

understand we would be selling them at 5-6K each.

moonshooting · · #23573

n=talkie1 and n=talkie2 that is all lol. Both L3’s and BOTH keep an average above 510mh/s

hashingpro · · #23574

and on the status page the both show PH site as alive.

moonshooting · · #23575

LMAO at 5 to 6 k

moonshooting · · #23576

Might as well sell mine too and call it a quick investment profit LOL

hashingpro · · #23577

and now you see why we are considering flipping machines, cause yes right now thats what you can get.

moonshooting · · #23578

Yup both show alive

sassoshots · · #23579

moonshooting wrote: LMAO at 5 to 6 k
its the truth lol

hashingpro · · #23580

make 4K profit and just buy ltcs and wait a year

sassoshots · · #23581

ill take 4k of ltc tho

moonshooting · · #23582

my "unlucky" machine gets maybe 20 hardware errors a day, never any X on asic chart, just HW column. My lucky machine NEVER has an error ever.

hashingpro · · #23583

do you think the L3+s will make 4K worth of coins at the current price in the next year?

hashingpro · · #23584

at 10 per miner per month?

sassoshots · · #23585

i think the l3 will make about 5-6 maybe 7 on multipools like PH and NH

sassoshots · · #23586

but directly mining litecoin they will be making a couple dollars only by christmas

hashingpro · · #23587

projected income may be higher, but if LTCs keep going UP in price you will see less and less per day.

sassoshots · · #23588

and it all depends on your payouot coin espeiclaly for PH.. your choice of coin coild double tripple

hashingpro · · #23589

vs buying 4K worth at todays prices

sassoshots · · #23590

thats why i kept one, see if i get lucky with peercoin. might be better off buying ltc now

sassoshots · · #23591

or when we first bought them lol
