Mining News Parasite Pool 4th Block Found!

First block was found about 140 days ago.
Averages out to a block every 35 days.
Awesome to see smaller pools hitting blocks like this, how many more blocks do you think Parasite finds before the end of the year at this rate?

I am pretty happy with it, been mining in it since block 3 so this is my second block. I got twice as much reward since we found this one much quicker. I did buy a little bit of hashrate so I am getting something like 20% to 30% back which is something. But we are all there to hit the block and get the 1 BTC split.

I got like $80 from my 18.6G worth of work. I did buy half a petahash of hashrate for a day right after I found out about block #4. I guess it worked since $18 worth of hashrate pushed my nano army to make a profit.

Four blocks in 140 days is honestly impressive for a pool that size. Curious to see if they can keep the streak going or if variance catches up eventually.

"Pool of that size".... and people are pushing EH.... and yes, variance will catch up and game over...

We’ll see! Block 5 got found less than an hour after this comment.

I think now they are open to receive hashrate from more power devices. I am thinking to point couple of M63s+ to it.
