Title: Confirmed Pay Flucuations
Post by: firealarm01 on November 07, 2015, 12:16:25 AM
Been mining Slush for 10 days or so and my confirmed goes to say $2.34 (I have it set in US money) then down to $2.14 then goes back up a few cents I have been off and on tweaking my Bitmain U3's and have had ZOMBIES,,and other such errors as I learned about hotstarts,,,driver issues ect....
Am I fined for my sudden flucuations in Hash Rates.?

No, it does not matter if your hashrate is 10gh within a given hour and 100gh in the next. I'm pretty sure that in a daily thing, you're just being hit by the obligatory payout variance. Look at the dashboard you will see last day luck, etc.

One day the pool simply find X block, on a worse day, the pool find less than X block, hence variance.

Also, remember that Bitcoin's value fluctuates compared to the US dollar--even if your hashrate is the same, the confirmed value may drift. If your miner hashrate drops, you will obviously have a lower payment as well, since your miner isn't able to mine as much.
