Can someone please tell me if I'll join the pool with only 1.20Gh/s hashrate (R9 380) about how much DCR/Day should I expect to get?
With 1.5GH/s i got 4-5 yesterday when net hash was 3+TH/s, so you can expect similar amounts or a little more as hashrate is down now.
Yes I believe when you mine solo you can only get a full block for yourself, however I think mining in a pool gives you less, but it is steady.. I think I'll stick to a pool with my one GPU. Problem is if you keep solo mining, the difficulty will go up making it harder I believe to solve a block, so you might be solo mining for two weeks and not finding anything. Pool gives me about 1 DCR a day at least.. At this point I'll take all I can get
Thanks for the replies. I don't know what is better to switch to pool mining or to give up mining at all since I also have some electricity cost. Another question is which pool is better for me. Do we know if someone with low hashrate was lucky to solve a block mining solo?
Did you notice the title of this thread? There is the answer Or the other pools listed on the suprnova DCR page. I saw a best share 282k pop up in one of the windows today with a 2GH/s card. That was a block since difficulty was at 221k. Unfortunately it was while mining in a pool so I got less than 0.1 DCR. So yes, you can find blocks when solo mining. It will just take a while since you have only a tiny fraction of the network hash. Edit: Let's see how much the difficulty will decrease in two blocks from now (864).
Well that's why I asked I saw other available pools on Suprnova page and I thought it's just like telling me that's not a pool for you, better try your luck somewhere else. Anyway.
Most pools show "Est. Next Difficulty 141,198.63278715 (Change in 1 Blocks)". Is this a bug? Block 863 now still at 221k. Should adjust in next block I think. But certainly not to 141k.
The long awaited difficulty adjustment happened just a moment ago in block 864. It is 164k now and blocks will start rainin.
@ocminer: I am getting a lot of "pool not providing work fast enough" at diff 4 port now. ST is 1. I think ST was 6 for some time earlier today and it worked much better without the aforementioned message..
It should be better. You can estimate the time to find a block with: Code: time (seconds) = (difficulty * 2^32) / hashrate Where 2^32 is the number of zeroed bits in a difficulty 1 block. Using getmininginfo, we find the nethash is 2,027,627,505,088 H/s or 2 TH/s. The current difficulty is 163557.62187443. Code: time = (163557.62187443 * 2^32) / 2,027,627,505,088 H/s = 346.451522876 s or 5.77 minutes With the current network estimate, we see that the difficulty function is working correctly to provide the target block time of 5 minutes.
Noticing a pretty large drop in Pool hash rate. Folks jumping off due to difficulty decrease maybe? I'm not not very familiar with pool mining.
Is the 1% pool fee deducted from the balance, since the amount in earnings tab is about 1% higher, than the account balance?
