Is the Burst calculator accurate? My earnings are too low!
-
I'm mining with 16TB, I'm supposed to mine ~150 Bursts/day according to the calculator. In fact, I only make ~30-40 Bursts/day.
Mining in Lexitoshi pool, all plots optimized.
How much Burst do you guys make, and how much HDD you are mining on? Any advices?
Thanks a lot!

it is, it's called varience, and 30-40 burst a day? maybe you'll hit a block that's about 700-800 BURST just for you :)

@HiDevin yeah, theres a bit of luck involved, it gives you a set ammount based on your size compared to the size of the network and block rewards. you could make 30 coins a day for a week and then hit a block giving you example 800 burst, that would be 7x30 = 210 + 800 a total of 1010, divide that by 7 would be 144 burst a day, you see alot of it depends on weather or not you hit a block and also your pool success rate and how many good dl you get compared to others in your pools (shares)

Damn calculators should be banned, or explain they do not indicate daily or weekly or monthly income.

If you think a little, the calculators can not be exact since they do not know what pool you are in, nor the blocks that the pool has won etc.
So you have to look at it in the long term, you may not win what you say daily but if you find 3 blocks in the month and you get the average, the 3 blocks is an example.
For example I found in a month 4 blocks that for me is like 40 days.
It is necessary to take into account the part of luck that that can not take into account the calculator

or they should be explicitly clear that "difficulty" is rising like a banshee and any quoted number will be dramatically different in 30 days... what it calculates today, won't be the same tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day, and I think that is misleading folks when they punch in number and see, wow it'll only take me 6 months to make all my money back, when in 6 months they might be saying, well looks like I need another 6 months to make my money back, etc etc...
