*Cough*

Don't tell any other mining pools but:

I made a quick update to the calculator to remove the 3 month and 6 month plans and add the 12 month plan that the pool page currently offers.

It would be cool to add detailed information at regular intervals as far as profitability, that way you can gauge just how quickly returns can be made or how long until said contract will start profiting against the contract price. Can you implement a variable time slider that you can physically adjust, say from 3 weeks into the contract to 3 years into the contract, or wherever? It would encourage further analysis from calculations. I think it would be easier to strategize between which contracts would suit you best(between life-time, pre-orders, and 12mo.) according to your personal financial needs.

I also understand that the calculator, as you have mentioned yourself, is pretty coin-agnostic. However it would be a nice addition to add a BTC/BCC switch instead of doing it manually. Of course I greatly appreciate what you have already created for our community as it is.

Thank you.

BCC is technically the more profitable chain at the moment (esp if you factor in withdrawal fees).

I'm curious why less than 3% of people are mining bcc?

We give a 10% bonus for BTC mining. So BTC is still more profitable on our pool.

[OneChain]

Is this the most profitable mining pool?

I just wanted to let you guys know that the profit pool that auto-profits between BTC and BCC has a non-working VARDIFF. It goes up to 256 then stays there. When I do the individual pools, VARDIFF works fine. Can you look into that please? Thanks.

This is intentional. We had issues with rejected shares when we raised the vardiff difficulty limit. I'll look into changing this tomorrow.

If you want to set difficulty manually, please follow these instructions:

I am a 60 TH/s customer interested in doubling but I am holding off until there is more clarity on the profitability history. The calculators are great but seem to imply many of these contracts won't make money under certain conditions. It would go a long way in building customer confidence if Roger Ver would be kind enough to answer one question? Perhaps he has done this before on the forum and I have missed it.

How many of your own BTC do you gamble with in these pools? You are known to be a large holder and I would expect you would eat your own product if it were really a good idea? Any proof of using your own product would go a long way to ensure customers that you believe in this. I do not suggest you should divulge hard numbers but perhaps % of your portfolio might be a nice token of trust.

Thank you for all the work you do in the community.

Hello everyone, I'd like to know if you're coming back with Lifetime Plan Pre-Order 2 anytime soon. I could not buy it on time. Thank you!

We have not made a decision yet as to bring these plans back when we get more stock in.

I guess we will just see how much stock we can get first up and then see how much demand we have been getting for them. Remember though if these did come back in stock they would most likely not be the same price per TH as they are now, the closer to the start date the pre-order plans get the higher the price went goes like the Pre-Order #1 plans.

@zowki did you have a chance to take a look at the VARDIFF for the pool stratum? Thanks.

*profit stratum

Sorry, I've been sick for the past few days. I will reconfigure the difficulty tomorrow.

[nplamers]

Oh no problem. Take your time!

[nplamers]

@zowki Another question. I noticed on all pool stratums that if I don't set a manual difficulty (i.e. d=4700), the Best Share value stays at 0 until I change the password to a manual difficulty. Is this on purpose as well? Other pools I can let the VARDIFF take over and I will get a best share value. This is on an Antminer S7

Hello Roger!

Absolutely new to this but none the the less full of optimism and faith.
needed your expert advice- have just downloaded the btcore14.02 and having it download the data.
earlier I was under the impression that if I run full node on my desktop with Win 10, would be able to acquire some bitcoins or just the satoshis fpr the beginning , just by being part of the node network.
However, just now it doesn't seem to me to be the case.
I wanted to let my system, just a regular system do the work... for the network and get some gradual compensation in return.
I do remember reading something from you that tells about pool and mining.
How do I do it?
pardon me for the very rudiment level keenness!

I found this article regarding GMO very interesting. I hope it is useful to the community: https://news.bitcoin.com/7nm-asics-will ... s%20Widget.

this was true, in the first months of bitcoin.

in 2017, you MUST have a Antminer S9 ASIC to even stand a chance of earning anything mining.
or if you have bitcoin already, you can buy a cloud mining contract.

eitherway, you will not earn even 0.000001 BTC running the non-mining node software on your desktop. Even if you ran it for the rest of your life. you'd only burn electricity.

Also, look into Bitcoin cash, if that interests you then you should be running a Bitcoin ABC node instead of bitcoin core 0.14.

[Kwisher]

thanks for takin the time sayurichick. Need more assistance.... the BitcoinABC have more of a Command line sort of interface than a GUI isn't it..https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.15.0/ doesn't it. don't even know how to run it. execute it.

[deltazulu]

Just some thoughts: with mining profitability of Bitcoin Cash equal to parity with Bitcoin Legacy it may be worth everyone switching over to mining Bitcoin Cash. The reason for this is because:

a) all the other pools have not switched yet and there are less people mining, and

b) the difficulty is much lower.

So our maximum hash power of >120 Ph/s can have a bigger effect on the Bitcoin Cash chain, thus we will mine more blocks and make a lot more money.

On the Bitcoin chain, our pool accounts for 3% of the mined blocks:



On the Bitcoin Cash chain, our pool accounts for 1% of the mined blocks with only about 1-10% of our total Bitcoin hash power:



I think we could easily be mining 20-30% of the blocks on Bitcoin Cash and getting some serious profits compared to Bitcoin Legacy. Let's switch, but don't tell any of the other mining pools!

[sayurichick]

I agree. I want to switch but it takes 18 hours and we all need to switch for it to be worth it.

[zowki]

@zowki did you have a chance to take a look at the VARDIFF for the pool stratum? Thanks.

Vardiff on the auto-profit server should be fixed now. Please let me know if it works for you.

[Kwisher]

I agree. I want to switch but it takes 18 hours and we all need to switch for it to be worth it.

Have any input for me sayuichick?

I recommend using Bitcoin.com Wallet instead. It supports both BTC and BCC, and is much easier to use than Bitcoin ABC.

Hi zowki!
didn't think will get to hear from you...being a busy man as you are. thank you first of all.
the thing is...
tell me if this is simple and orderly enough#
have a win10 pc. with a decent amd6core unlocked cpu. 3.5 to 4.5ghz
NVidia card 4gb. cuda updated driver.
internet 75mbps speed with about 250gbs fair usage allowed in a month.
have already downloaded bitcoin core14.02
have already a bitcoin wallet on the same machine with bitcoin core. have not run the bitcoin core though; because of the wanted to clarify first.
I don't have any money yet to invest, wanted to lend my system and internet connection to gradually acquire some btc as reward or compensation for the work my system will. me. not of the trader sort of mindset. for me, even a fork like bcc is not the contrary of btc efficacy. however, with btc for the its ability to learn and singularity.


is running core anyway going to convert to receiving btc in return for work and its proof of work?
regards,
K
