Title: mine.altpool.com SCAM or NOT? [SOLVED]
Post by: 8bitp on April 20, 2013, 09:38:44 PM
well, hello everyone  :D

Today I started mining on mine.altpool.com. I can see my workers and my round shares...
...but after mining 2h, I got +6000 round shares without any activity at the "balance" display.

I see there are many blocks generated by this pool in the meantime, but still no balance change.

Email support didn't work for me (contact(at)altpool.com), it were returned to my inbox...


What were going wrong? Had someone taken the same experience? What could I change in the settings, to get the mined FC to my wallet?

Thx for your reply.


Edit: SOLVED, because there was a bug on the page

How did you get it fixed?  I've got 4,600 shares and no FC

their reporting system wasnt updating and payments were i think set to manual due to some bugs, now it seems most of the site is reporting to some extent, it does take a while to see the fc increase though due to the blocks being found, the site is running quite slow now but the stratum server is good with very low stales.

thanks for the info.

Yeah, getting a lot of shares there, it would just be nice to see some FC

I finally got 3.36 FC at altpool for 5,000 shares AFTER 3 HOURS MINING--WTF?

I'm getting more than 15 FC per hour from feathercoin.cc, and that's with a lot of "requested restarts."

After 3 hours mining you have to wait, until 120 confirmations are done for your coins on the site.
Then you can see them at your balance.

This take sooooo long, that you can see a rising balance, even you stopped ming for an hour ^^

I've gotten about 20 FC from altpool.
The reason it's so sketchy are because the servers are slow and it's PPLNS after all the confirmations have been received.
i.e. it takes like 2+ hours to get paid from them.
