If the p2pool console shows 0% effort, is that an indication that there's something wrong with one's setup?
-
michael0x18[m]
(0% current effort)
-
merope
It just means that you have found no shares yet
-
michael0x18[m]
Current effort is 0
-
merope
(Or that you have found one with less than 1% effort, which would be extremely lucky)
-
michael0x18[m]
And yeah, that's a problem
-
michael0x18[m]
because I switched to xmrig instead of using start_mining and now I'm seeing it increase slowly
-
sech1
michael0x18 you need to set custom difficulty to xmrig so it would submit shares more often and p2pool could update effort % with every share
-
sech1
"-u x+100000" in xmrig command line
-

Guest5563
hello
-
Guest5563
what xmrig -u x+100000 means exactly
-
Guest5563
i have more job accepted but not payed yet
-
hyc
it just tells xmrig to target a lower difficulty than the true network difficulty
-
hyc
it will submit results more often to the pool, which lets the pool make a better estimate of miner speed
-
Guest5563
after this results
paste.debian.net/1235307 is better for me to target a much lower difficulty for having more results to the pool?
-
hyc
no.
-
Guest5563
effort must be < 100% to be payed ?
-
hyc
you can aim for about 30 seconds per result. that's all.
-
hyc
no.
-
hyc
effort has nothing to do with deciding whether you will get paid.
-
Guest5563
how is decided when i'll get payed
-
hyc
when you hit a result that matches the true pool difficulty
-
hyc
the results you generate that are lower than the true difficulty are meaningless
-
Guest5563
with 4700 h/s what this means daily
-
Guest5563
average
-
hyc
the only point to sending more results is so the pool can estimate your hashrate
-
hyc
use a mining calculator, that's what they're for
-
Guest5563
some good link?
-
hyc
google.com
-
moneromooo
duckduckgo.com better
-
Guest5563
ok
-
Guest5563
startpage.com better......
-
hyc
about:blank better
-
moneromooo
^ badass
-
Guest5563
hehe

Guest5563
-
Guest5563
no earning!
-
Guest5563
why to mine!
-
hyc
support the network, slowly earn KYC-free coins
-
hyc
provide heat to heat up your house in winter
-
Guest5563
this coins are not for free
-
Guest5563
we are paying with energy bill so monero coins are not for free
-
hyc
no, you pay for them. but they are free of KYC
-
Guest5563
i can buy doing btc>monero
-
Guest5563
cheaper!
-
hyc
probably
-
hyc
if you can buy the btc privately, that may be the better route to acquire coins
-
Guest5563
monero is hierarchical as bitcoin
-
Guest5563
monero money in hardware more incoming
-
Guest5563
more money in hardware more incoming
-
pauliouk
not really
-
Guest5563
just is not so vertical as bitcoin
-
Guest5563
why not?
-
pauliouk
in most cases its gamers who want to make a little bit on the side
-
Guest5563
more money in hw more income is not true?
-
pauliouk
so they buy the hardware to play vidya games, then when its not gaming, the pc is mining
-
Guest5563
monero is cpu!!
-
pauliouk
yup - still need a decent CPU to mine
-
pauliouk
and a decent CPU to game
-
pauliouk
only the rich and hardcore gamers would be buying GPUs at the moment
-
Guest5563
well 4700 h/s are created by a very decent cpu
-
pauliouk
I did buy a PC just to mine, and thats all it's done since I bought it.
-
Guest5563
we are talking about cpu here
-
Guest5563
hyc moneromooo ?
-
moneromooo
?
-
Guest5563
monero is hierarchical as bitcoin
-
hyc
what
-
hyc
I don't know what that statement means
-
pauliouk
bought it for £480, so far it's mined over 2 XMR - so depending on the price of XMR, its nearly paid for itself in 2 years
-
pauliouk
PC build $600, BTC ASIC miner ~ $1000
-
Guest5563
did u insert energy bills?
-
pauliouk
that includes energy bills
-
pauliouk
and it keeps my office space warm
-
Guest5563
i dont c real answer from hyc moneromooo about monero hierarchical as bitcoin
-
pauliouk
I dont intend on spending any XMR until the price is around the $1000 area or higher, so yeah I'm happy with my investment
-
moneromooo
If you explain what it means, you might get an answer :)
-
hyc
"monero hierarchical as bitcoin" is a meaningless statement
-
pauliouk
to get into mining BTC you're looking at an investment of $10,000+ with an ROI of around 5 years. I spent less than $1000 and have ROI already after 2 years.
-
Guest5563
i mean if u have money ull take expensive hw and u'll have good income
-
moneromooo
Maybe it's a direct translation of a word in your language, it doesn't translate well then.
-
pauliouk
thats pretty much the same with everything in life.
-
moneromooo
Ah, if you mean "if you buy twice as many machines, do you get twice as much monero", then yes. Assuming yur hash rate is still << network hash rate.
-
pauliouk
however if you have a PC, you can probably mine XMR at a decent rate.
-
moneromooo
And, of course, on average.
-
Guest5563
if u dont have money to take expensive hw u'll loose money
-
pauliouk
yes.
-
moneromooo
Well, you don't get free money obviously. That'd make it all pointless.
-
pauliouk
however, if you can mine at 4K/hs, on the mini p2pool you could probably still a minor profit
-
moneromooo
You can spend more to get more hash rate, or spend not much and get monero at a slow rate.
-
moneromooo
If you're looking to spend close to nothing and get rich, then... not gonna happen.
-
pauliouk
but the plus side is, you probably already have something you can mine XMR with. You likely don't have something you can mine BTC with at a reasonable rate
-
merope
Guest5563 You do not actually consume 1200W of power while mining
-
pauliouk
I have a draw with a box full of USB asic's for BTC - probably get around 1.2GHs from each of them (about 30 of them in there) not worth the USB hub to run them.
-
merope
You are probably consuming ~100W of power
-
merope
And you need to adjust the electricity price to your real cost
