I'm a fairly new miner (since first week of January) checking out these types of pools. I've tried single coin pools, large auto switching pools (multipool) , different coins scrypt, scrypt-n and sha ...everything but solo.
I recall the words of the great Yogi Bera
..."You can observe alot, just by watching."I've read through over 100 pages of what Terk has going on his servers. over all seems a lot of folks are impressed,
especially experienced miners. Don't know if I have enough hash at 800 kHs to kick in but, thinking about it.
Some of the comments and questions here would make me want to put a kill button on a few accounts if I was Terk.
Seems like anybody and everybody is ordering two or more cards from where ever they can, plugging in a miner and then expecting the money to come rolling in. My advice, join a single coin pool...LEARN about work units, shares and blocks. Your rig is NOT an auto streaming pipeline into the crypto coin of your choice.
Look at how blocks are like bananas.....they come in bunches or for a while....they are nowhere to be found.
That's the word "variance" or better know as LUCK. not to mention when a pool does find one, it might take
a few share rounds or it might get stuck and take a lot of shares to solve.
Looking at the pool I'm on right now has found 8 blocks in the last hour and solved with 74.8% of expected shares, over last 24 its found 138 blocks and taken 115% to solve. As I understand it, anything than less than 120% is actually pretty good.
Its not automatic, you're not entitled to it and it's not a god given right.
Just like miners in the old days...sometimes you find that ore but a lot of times its just rock.
That's why it's called "mining"
I'm done now.
