Actually even two weeks is not enough, the entire pool's hashrate is what 2%? so variance is massive, if they spend  a100 btc they may make 101 btc or 95 btc, impossible to tell, but we know for certain if measured against infinity its going to be 100 btc - nicehash fees - pool fees, and we also know hashpower cost on nicehash is more expensive than what the miner can make mining to a pool because people buy it to gamble solo blocks and do altcoins mining or attacks, otherwise the actual owner of those miners would just point their gears to ocean pool.

so a long story short, we know for certain that person is losing money, what we can't tell for certain is "why".

of course it is, it reflects on the number of blocks they found, i am not questioning that part.

We know it comes from a single address so it's certainly coming from a single purchase, I can't think of any reason why would someone rent power from nicehash only to receive less btc in the end, unless that person is trying to test or fake something like the comment above has explained.

Ocean's hashrate has almost doubled in the past 2 days, from an average of 20EH to 38EH, guess how did that happen? I looked at their top addresses and found one intersting addy



Interestingly enough, this address has nearly 50% of the entire pool's hashrate, it oddly only has a single user for it's entire 18EH, and the worker name is (Bought_with_BTC) which can be looked up here

Now the funny thing is that this exact user (Bought_with_BTC) is the default worker name of Nicehash easymining, so it is without a doubt bought with BTC, or otherwise I don't know why would they would fake it.

If I had to guess, the fools behind the pool who happen to be rich are pouring money to make the pool look great, finding blocks and all, because they fail in acquiring real large miners with real mining infrastructure and real mining gears, and honestly, if you you access to a few thousands of BTC you can play this game for a very long time, whichever BTC you pour into Nicehash will come back – fees, but you are already collecting fees from the other miners, so you may end up at break even just to prove a point.

Thank you mikey.  For the longest time, I rejected that I had changed.  I had a goal and was working towards it.   

Then I started doing some research and discovered I have a type of PTSD, specifically PPPD.  My personality has never changed, but the constant stress has made me much more anxious, which bled through to impulsive actions.  It all makes sense to me now - every ailment I have that is being independently treated could all be cured at once.   Forum metaphor:  I kept replacing my moderators until I realized my admin was broken. 

I'm still the same person, my body just needs to literally calm down a bit.   It gets easier every day right now, but most of that is hope - real progress could take a couple years. 

however, say what you want about Vod, to me, he was one of the best members the forum ever had, I was so sad to see him change in the recent years.
