RE: Miner-witness queue weirdness 2.0

in #mining8 years ago

What kind of khps are you getting and how much have you been mining? My worry is that as the queue and difficulty grow the ability to hash a solution won't be feasible on consumer grade hardware.

If the difficulty keeps going up won't it get to a point where you will need to be doing mhps to solve these blocks in under 3 seconds?

Sort:  

28khps and 30 blocks or so
Exactly my worry too!

I picked up a block at 45000/hps earlier ... fat chance of that now... only had one witness/miner at the time, upped to 3 since

I've been running at 24 - 26khps for 16 hours and haven't solved a single block from what I can tell. Is this normal?

@contentjunkie max reply depth reached so I'll reply here :)
It is not abnormal, I have days like that too.
Watch https://steemd.com/@contentjunkie
it will say "found a pow" when you are in the queue.
Also your miner then will decrease to 1 hps (if your config only has 1 miner that is!)
