You and I need to talk.

How many payments have you been assigned? On the tracker I have 4 against my node - all sitting at ‘review’ status - with inconsistent periods between.Originally posted by bish View PostI've setup a number of these securenodes, its pretty easy if you have any sort of linux knowledge.

...nothing....

Node has been up since mainnet went live.

Seen the disclaimer about payments still being in beta, but seems pretty defective!Comment

The same. Check your wallet you should have received payments #1 and #4 to your stake address.Originally posted by finlay1888 View PostHow many payments have you been assigned? On the tracker I have 4 against my node - all sitting at ‘review’ status - with inconsistent periods between.

Its still in beta so they are ironing out the issues. The live date they are aiming for is 15th Jan so hopefully
all the issues should be fixed by then. We're assured that everything is still being recorded on the tracker
server even though payments are not showing on the node.Comment

Just for laughs I've been mining BTC using Nicehash for a few days now. Just on my home PC with a NVidia 970 GPU. It's bringing in around $3/day

I tried mining SmartCash and Sia too but I wasn't getting even a $ a day for those.
I've heard you can set up a £100k GPU rig that will mine £13k worth of coins a month. Would be interested in ramping up, even more so if you guys want to team up.Comment

That will probably fry your pc before too long.
As I understand it, electricity costs here are too much to make mining economical. That's assuming the current BTC price of course, but why not just buy the BTC if your profitability depends on the price increasing.
Unless you have a decent supply of free electricity. I wonder how many server rack at big corps have an ant miner hidden in there somewhere

Set up a January fat club bicycle leccy generator scheme to power your mining rigs and make some coin while all the fatties lose the pounds.
Those servers will all already be mining as of this week, for Intel, now they've convinced the world to patch all the servers/PCs and suffer an 'up to 30%' decrease in performance.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Plus the risk of the difficulty increasing making my rig less profitable before I see ROI worried me.
Something that I did like the idea of though was running the rig in the loft and ducting the hot air into the bedrooms and office to cut down on the gas heating bill!Comment

Snap! I had the same thought. If the earnings on a mining rig === the cost of the electricity, then at least, assuming you are generating alot of heat, you have free heating in the winter.Originally posted by Snarf View PostI looked at mining at home for a while and decided power costs were too high.

Maybe someone should invent an electric combi boiler that generates enough coin to offset the electric costs. Bingo, free hot water!First Law of Contracting: Only the strong surviveComment
