I think it might be wise drharibo to post what you actually updated in your latest software update mentioned in post #5475. Now I know the answer is right above it. But as our bad luck has coincided with that, I think that is where people are getting the silly idea you changed how we mine or something.
lol, this is too funny...nobodys holding a gun to your head to mine here. Dont you think its odd that nobody out of the top 50 is complaining? When i started mining here, 7 days to find a block was the norm.
I was in the top 15, mining for the last 2 months but the latest series of DDOS and the data centre incident made me switch to Ghash.io
It was a good run, mined around 80BTC.
GHash IO ?
Bankers and rich guys, centralized banking to bitcoin ? That what you want ?
Or do not care, just want BTC.
Looking at the graphs on blockchain.info, ghash.io has an estimated 37% of the hashing power for the past 24 hours. They have been growing rapidly, and were at less than 25% a month ago. If they continue to grow at this rate, it's highly possible they could control 51% of the network.
DeepBit used to have 51% of the network, but why abuse a system that brings you steady income?
If you perform a 51% attack you would only kill the trust in the network and so whatever you managed to steal will be worth much less.
And I doubt that this will happen, because people (including me) will move to another pool if they ever approach 50%
OK my point to you is, we will miss your help here. Thats personal, the way it should be.
""I spoke with eleuthria and the local math wizard organofcorti and they both confirmed there is no easy way to precisely confirm the pool luck, which is a deal braker for me.""
PS you worry alot about things you have absolutly no control over
It is the nature of that beast "LUCK"
Well, I am not gonna lie. I am not a big fan of fees and I am even surprised at myself for how long I stayed at Bitminter. Probably I would have stayed even longer if it was rock solid, but there were quite a few downtimes recently, so I decided to check the competition.
With the always increasing difficulty I think DrHaribo should probably find new ways to keep miners, because soon the variance will be so big that a lot more people will leave.
Overall I have positive impression from the pool and its admin, who is always willing to help
Haha! Yes good people, I can spot em, Phillipma1967 is on track I wish to follow, he is "lucky" or smart as he is ahead of me, but we on same wave.
Had a feeling about Docs place, the GUI miner is The Only ? Java client friendly to newbs.
Just got CPUminer going for some kitteh, next will be BGM and CGM I can feel it looming on my horizon.
Linux perhaps later on down the road.
We all had to start somewhere, I promised Doc I would stick with him and intend to do so.
I will give you my take on luck, I just applied for account on Mt Gox decided since I cannot mine very fast, I will get some BTC from cash.
So the price will now go up while I wait for confirmation. - guaranteed. was 600 just a few days ago.
As soon as I buy, BTC will plummet back to where it was, and I will spend the BTC on mining gear.
As soon as I have no BTC it will rise, so I will be doing you all a service, just telling you when I will buy or sell
Road of hard knocks, been that way my whole life... Never won a bet or anything gambling, Because I know it will turn out opposite of what I do.
If you can get you gear back here and help us out would ya,. If I had BTC I would pay your fees for you
It is pennies to me.
