Which two other farms? Any source ?
Zeropond guys have probably already sold their GPU mining software for a nice lump some to 2-3 mining farms. And will continue making profit with the cloud mining contracts.
You currently have an advantage greater than 1.2 H/s is supposed to give because of the 30 sec limit on the default CPU miner. You canât use getnetworkhps right now because it is assuming a Poisson process for the network (it does not matter if your GPU is Poisson). The networkâs actual H/s is higher than difficulty implies because 73% of solutions are under 150 seconds. The average is still 150 seconds. Past difficulty is not being divided by the low time-to-solve numbers that would normally make current difficulty higher. So when getnetworkhps looks at difficulty to get H/s it is an underestimate. Thatâs why I believe H/s D/7 is correct. As difficulty rises after launch, H/s = D/7 may not apply and the H/s = D/10 might be correct. The 1.3 H/s Iâve calculated for your GPU should be 15% too high because (as I calculated elsewhere), you are supposed to have an advantage like this due to getting 100% of your < 30 second solves, and they make up about 15%, depending on your lower limit (23% max). After launch, 1.2 H/s seems correct, although 18 is way too little for all this.
To summarize the above: if your hash rate were H/s = 1.1 then you were supposed to get 15 blocks from D/7, but because of the 30 second limitation on CPUs, you got 100% of your under 30 seconds solves that gave you 3 extra blocks.
If this limitation on CPUs remains on mainnet, your effective hash rate could be 1.4 H/s, if there were not other non-default miners competing (botnets or GPUs).
BTW, 7.9 was probably the correct decimal because 79 / 10 = 7.9.
It appears you were on from about block 6300 to 6500, judging by the number of times a solution was found < 30 seconds. If so, 11 seconds was the fastest.
I would like to know this too. So far that has been a LOT of unsubstantiated claims thrown around. I am hoping there will be a lot of eyes on the test.(Edit: Found test times)
@trolloniex sure lives up to his name 
No, we are not licensing, selling, or in any other way giving our GPU miner to anyone else, and itâs not for lack of offers. However, we are not the only people capable of writing a GPU miner. If you were a big ETH farm worried about PoSâŚ
BTW are you willing to sell all your capacity to one person or do I have to send you a formal email to get more info?
What is that capacity in BTC total ?
I made a lot of english errors in my last post. Now it should be more understandable.
No way of knowing yet. This represent the entire uncertainty factor for me. If a larger ETH mining farm jumps on zcash mining it could wipe out any possible profitability from mining, contract or home mining.

Yeah, proving a lower bound on your hashing power is possible, but proving a non-trivial upper bound is impossible as best I can tell.
We will be mining to this address during the livestream:

I donât expect to get more than a couple blocks during the livestream, but it will show that a single GPU in my house isnât ridiculously far off our claims. We will then do Austin Williamsâ proof over a long time period (like a day) to prove hashpower.

Is the test being run on a Radeon R9 290X or a 390X ?
The card is an ASUS Radeon R9 390X
Hereâs a snapshot of the card status

OK youâre not going to believe it because right after we shut off the stream we got a block:
block (00117bac1051aa425ee4306a936810b864388b4356d2647ae07906a06574492a)
[20-09-2016 05:45:24:71] (submission) GPU 0: mined block accepted (target: 1f30b
ace).
You can verify that this block mined to the address I posted earlier.
Weâll stop the stream now, but weâll do Austin Williamsâ proof ASAP.
Is there anyone who was closely watching the mining test have any comments on the results?

Everything seemed good except whatever software was on the phone trying to stream to YouTube was terrible.
So with this test is there an estimate of the advantage that GPUâs will have on CPUâs? Like is it a 10x, 20x, etc multiplier confirmed?
