boom

So I wonder if this is due to net traffic and PH waiting on new service provider wire upgrade but I found 10 blocks between 2AM and 7AM and now zero blocks 7AM - 2PM .. anyone else experience this scenario?
deathlessdd · · #79894
Its normal Ive hit 1000 blocks and didnt hit any blocks the rest of the time
travelinmusic · · #79895
well the rules of math and law of averages seems to contradict that. I will track it further before making a call. Thanks for your input!

solo mining
scubatron · · #79897
Has anyone figured out how this works?
scubatron · · #79898
I’ve found 3 blocks with m=solo but no reward
travelinmusic · · #79899
n= c= m=solo
has started a new topic: Solo Mining
travelinmusic · · #79901
the solo found blocks will have a small flag before them, then wait for orphaned, lost, or credited
travelinmusic · · #79902
pool mined blocks will be on same list without the flag
deathlessdd · · #79903
i dont think its only about the math its about luck

I get the luck part but 10/0 is not even a worthy ratio. I could believe 10/2. I think it also has to do with network connectivity and speed. PH has an admitted data line speed issue that they are waiting on upgraded fiber optic line. We used to call them T1 line or T3 line. I have long noticed most PH blocks are found at night when network is not bottlenecked.

AppleMiner · · #79908
maybe the reason more blocks are found at night, is the china miners dont mind spending huge amounts of bitcoins at nicehash while they are awake to toss a few extra TH of scrypt onto the pool here and there
AppleMiner · · #79909
so if the amount on the pool goes up so might the found blocks compared to the rest of the day.
critter · · #79910
If I connect Bitcoin to payout direct to coinbase does the min threshold go away?
critter · · #79911
Its not explained very well
AppleMiner · · #79912
no clue never touched it
AppleMiner · · #79913
was a whole procedure and authorization on coinbase side I think you have to do
AppleMiner · · #79914
but being US and being forced 1099s, I had to move and go mine elsewhere back at the start of the year.
critter · · #79915
on the settings page the threshold dissapered but on the mining page the threshold is still there
critter · · #79916
My problem is I need the cash and coinbase seems to be the only easy option
AppleMiner · · #79917
and I think it only takes 3 days to get to your bank if you go bank routing
AppleMiner · · #79918
business days
AppleMiner · · #79919
but paypal is instant, then takes 1 day to go from paypal to bank
critter · · #79920
yeah I have my checking set up on coinbase how would you well on PayPal
critter · · #79921
sell
AppleMiner · · #79922
you just have to add that as a form of payout
AppleMiner · · #79923
but paypal charges you a fee
AppleMiner · · #79924
to deposit it into their accounts
AppleMiner · · #79925
more than the bank did
travelinmusic · · #79926
"prime time china" I am taking about night were the PH servers are, presumably PA... although the blocks stopped today at about 10am PA time.
AppleMiner · · #79927
which would be 10 PM china time, when they start to wind down and go to bed?
travelinmusic · · #79928
The live blocks on home page are about 1 every 5 seconds at best right now, lets see what is at 4am PA time.
travelinmusic · · #79929
When cloud mining occures, are there actual asic running somewher that feed the cloud? IE mining rentals? Don’t you think those asics would be running 24 7 and on a backup pool and just take the higher pay for rental when available? Like you do?
AppleMiner · · #79930
sure
AppleMiner · · #79931
but not on this backup pool
travelinmusic · · #79932
I am mining solo btw
travelinmusic · · #79933
ANother possibility is they are 3 a4+ on PH and 10:30 the sun is up and raising temps here. perhaps they are not efficient unless running cold. Just trying to figure if this is a consistant issue and I should switch to litecoinpool at 10:30 AM for guaranteed pay.
AppleMiner · · #79934
with official firmware and settings?
travelinmusic · · #79935
yes
AppleMiner · · #79936
or again...you are soloing and it could just be all luck.
AppleMiner · · #79937
ive gotten 10 blocks in 1 hour and then nothing for 3 days
AppleMiner · · #79938
it happens
AppleMiner · · #79939
hence why solo mining is unpredictable and unstable for payouts compared to using a pool.
travelinmusic · · #79940
well 1 of the 3 is in the pool. 11 blocks between 3 and 7am and zero since 7am -4:45Pm. I am a rational thinker and that is not rational. I do not accept the status quo. Not at the odds I am experiencing today.
AppleMiner · · #79941
welcome to problem and stats class.
travelinmusic · · #79942
You 10 -3 days could have also been a failure beyond luck,
travelinmusic · · #79943
I blame it squarely on COMCAST 
AppleMiner · · #79944
not sure why
AppleMiner · · #79945
they have little to do with it
travelinmusic · · #79946
Because Steve said "The Comcast guys showed up at random and performed their site assessment. We’re one step closer to resolving our connectivity issues."
AppleMiner · · #79947
of getting the upgrade
AppleMiner · · #79948
the issue of them not coming in for the survey so they could get the ball rolling.
travelinmusic · · #79949
Not sure what you are saying. first they survey second they install third connectivity issues solved and hopefully bottlenecks gone
AppleMiner · · #79950
not sure where you think there are bottlenecks at now
AppleMiner · · #79951
if they didnt want to put in sha-256 for bitcoins they prolly wouldnt bother to do the upgrade at all.
travelinmusic · · #79952
the connectivity issue, they can not handle the load + bottleneck
travelinmusic · · #79953
=bottleneck
AppleMiner · · #79954
its so they can move forward and upgrade and add more, not to make whats here run
AppleMiner · · #79955
there is no internet bottleneck here
AppleMiner · · #79956
not sure where you got that info at
AppleMiner · · #79957
the decreased ping times may increase profits
AppleMiner · · #79958
from non stales
AppleMiner · · #79959
but it wont magically make 10K more people connect, those 10K people can conenct in now
AppleMiner · · #79960
I think they said 40K workers and 200 TH eazy
AppleMiner · · #79961
and we arent anywhere near that
travelinmusic · · #79962
To me connectivity issues are now. But I would like clerification. Yes everyone connects, but at a slightly slower speed
AppleMiner · · #79963
slow than what?
AppleMiner · · #79964
what...slow speed...are you talking about
travelinmusic · · #79965
Than 100%
AppleMiner · · #79966
i connect at 100%, when im conencted Im conencted the full time
AppleMiner · · #79967
if I was at 50% id only be on half the time right? so not following your 100%
travelinmusic · · #79968
1 block per 5 seconds on live homepage blocks
travelinmusic · · #79969
You answered your own question. Yes 50% would be 1/2. Slow enough for other pools so solve the blocks faster.
travelinmusic · · #79970
I really do not know, That is why I am asking. But I am not buying the luck answer
AppleMiner · · #79971
ok but when connected you dont mine just half the time
AppleMiner · · #79972
you mine the full time conencted, so you conenct at 100%, I am not folloing your theory of SLOWER SPEEDs
travelinmusic · · #79973
To me it is a race to solve the blocks, your asic verse all others on same coin, since blocks solved in 30 seconds to a few minutes, you run the race 1000s of times per day and eventually you win one block, then off to the races again. So a slower speed or bottleneck would give other miners a competitive edge.
travelinmusic · · #79974
I would assume that distance from servers would have effect, thus they instruct useres to connect to closest server
travelinmusic · · #79975
of course difficulty figures in as well
AppleMiner · · #79976
no it doesnt
AppleMiner · · #79977
diff is a universal, everyone has the same diff to deal with so non factor.
travelinmusic · · #79978
I suppose difficulty would be a level playing field then
travelinmusic · · #79979
SO are you standing by your its all luck or do you think connectivity or bottle neck or something else may have to do with it, Could the cat be sleeping on the keyboard again?
AppleMiner · · #79980
if you are soloing, then yes, I am standing by its all luck
AppleMiner · · #79981
its problems and stats and a lot of people have issues with it
AppleMiner · · #79982
my brother is a rationale 40 year old man, but he STILL thinks to this day if I toss a coin 99 times and get all heads that somehow his coin knows and will NOT flip a 50-50 heads tails on the next toss.
travelinmusic · · #79983
Ive found 5 blocks at litcoinpool and been paid 60 So I am lucky, always have been.
AppleMiner · · #79984
your miner doesnt know how many hours it didnt get any blocks found
AppleMiner · · #79985
if it did and purposely didnt give you any, then the machine would be diabolical, its not, its random luck of the universe, sorry, bitmain isnt that evil.
travelinmusic · · #79986
No one in the history of ever has gotten 99 times heads in a row
AppleMiner · · #79987
oh see now, you are fucking wrong
AppleMiner · · #79988
cuase it took us 20 hours but we DID get 99 in a row
AppleMiner · · #79989
and the 100th one...it was also.
AppleMiner · · #79990
wasnt until 109 we got a tail.
