Title: Triplemining is broken
Post by: epicCreations.org on July 04, 2011, 04:27:47 AM
Well, at least, Triplemining's login system is broken for me. I have to repeatedly use "Lost Password" because it will never accept my password. :P Also, I noticed that "estimated rewards" slowly drains over time if you aren't mining, or haven't found a share. What is the meaning of this?!  ???

EDIT: That's weird... It's accepting my password now... but the draining is still occuring, and I've noticed it doesn't consistently list my MH/s.

Simple.  It's a proportional payment system.  If you aren't mining (or sending invalid shares), then the proportion of shares you've found as a percentage of the total shares processed gets lower.

The only way to maintain the Estimated Payment is to keep providing the estimated number of shares per minute.  That's why it's an estimate and not a guaranteed.  If you were on a PPS (Pay Per Share) system, then it wouldn't be an estimate, as you would receive payment for every valid share submitted.
