Re: When mining is no longer profitable

I have (12) S9 units and (12) L3+ but most are shut down too. I was looking forward to this time of year when I could run everything and not need to deal with the heat issue (live in Rhode Island) but I never thought it would get to the point when the generated income does not even cover the electr...

Re: Scrypt profitability increase of 4%

Since we found a lot of bitcoin blocks, we decided to increase scrypt profitability by 4% this week, beginning immediately, even though this will cause us losses.

Re: The Current State of ASIC Scrypt Mining...

Not when the price drops 5% and the difficulty didnt improve by at least that amount. It all comes down to how much they pay for electricity. Is the (amount of coins earned per day) X (the price of those coins) > electric fees charged. If you earned 2 coins a month, and at max they were worth $130 ...

Re: Status as of Tuesday, April 3, 2018

Good morning! Last night, Chris successfully changed the load balancer so that it would better allocate connections to mining servers. Previously, we allocated 1/4 of all IP addresses to each server. Now, two servers have 3/16 of IPs, and the other two have 5/16 of IPs. That should improve CPU usag...

Re: Policy changes coming this weekend

There will be a few policy changes coming this weekend, which will affect a large number of customers. First, attempting to log into more than five accounts with invalid passwords will result in a permanent ban for that IP address. There doesn't seem to be any legitimate reason why one address woul...
