Title: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: philipma1957 on December 23, 2017, 12:23:48 AM I was doing some math so here goes.
Tx fees are nuts 600 sats are not high enough. Block fees are 5 or 6 even 8 and 9 btc. Simple math is a block can have about 1000000 in room and the smallest transaction is 250 That is 4000 transaction as a max. Close estimate. So. Big pools make 20% of the blocks and do not pay tx fees to miners they keep the fees. So 20% of 144 is 29 blocks say that is 200 coins. If they. Do 100000. Sends of 0.001 and pay 0.001. They are doing 1/3 of the networks capablity for that day. so 100,000 x 0.002 = 200 but ½ is fees and ½ comes back to them so each day they make 100 coins in fees and they ensure the network stays clogged up. Instead of losing money doing 100,000 x 0.001 in tx fees they make a profit. So if you mine at antpool, btc.com, viabtc.com or rent to nicehash and don't do any sends the big pools can simply clog the network and make money doing it. My math is solid As I use one 20% pool and we know there are more then one 20% pool. Based on this I now mine at mmpool.org as they pay the tx fees to the block hitter. This is not speculation this is math founded in fact. https://btc.com/ 24 Hours Change 3 Days Lucky 1 BTC.com---------2506.00 PH/s 2 AntPool----------2417.21 PH/s 3 BTC.TOP---------2111.00 PH/s 4 SlushPool--------1537.66 PH/s 5 ViaBTC-----------1522.87 PH/s 6 F2Pool-----------1112.35 PH/s so if the top 3 do what I say there is a big time issue for all of us. https://btc.com/stats/diff 13400 ph is the current hashrate. Antpool and btc.com are the same company that is 4900 of 13400 or 36.56% lets break it down again using top 2 pools 36.56 x 144 daily blocks = 52.6 blocks a day with fees of 7 coins = 368.2 coins 150,000 sends of 0.001 + 0.001 tx fee = 300 coins since you are doing sends of 0.001 you get ½ back or 150 coins and you spend 150 coins. Since you collect 368 coins you net 218 coins for your 52.6 blocks which is a sweet 4.14 coins in fees. since the max transactions in a day is only 4000 x 144 = 560,000 and that is based on 227kb sends which are only some. we do around https://blockchain.info/stats 370,000 transactions a day. if antpool and btc.com are taking 150,000 a day in the way I say the other transaction will be costly. Lets make this more clear. top 3 pools get in on this this comes to 7000 /13400 hash = 52.2 % lets say they do 220,000 sends of 0.001 + 0.001 tx fee they would be taking 220,000 of 370,000 sends which is 59.4% of the sends since 52.2% x 144 = 75.168 block with fees of 7 coins it is 526 coins in fees collected by the 3 of them combined since 220,000 x 0.001 = 220 coins paid they gain 306 coins by doing this as a team of 3 pools this is not block with holding it is fee manipulation . My math is dead solid factual no speculation here. To combat this all miners need to mine on fee sharing pools. and stop mining on pools that keep fees. The math above shows the top 3 pools will not stop doing this since it makes them a shit ton of extra money. So all you big guys leave those pools . Mine on pools that share the fees. check these charts the math shows this to be the reason. https://i.imgur.com/SnBcP1X.png (https://i.imgur.com/SnBcP1X.png) Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: TheYankeesWin! on December 23, 2017, 01:11:42 AM Actually Phil is wrong it is worse then he said. The tx fees were 1495 coins.
The transactions were 370,000. So if the top 3 pools did 52.2% of the blocks they would have earned 780 coins in fees. So if they spent 300 coins to do 300,000 sends of 0.001 + 0.001 in fees they net 780 - 300 = 480 coins. Since the average fee is 1495 / 370, 000 = 0.00404 and they jammed the network with 0.001 fees not 0.00404 they score big time. We must mine on pools that share the fees or we will die here. While no one can prove the top 3 pools are doing what Phil says the fact is they would make a huge profit if they are doing it. We as miners must not mine at these pools.

Post by: philipma1957 on December 23, 2017, 03:52:30 AM I looked at it more closely since the top six keep fees but via.btc does give back some of them at the monment.
So the top five are a no go zero money sense to mine on them. Viabtc is more complex. they are paying more then the block but not all the fees to the miners. but the top five simply can not be used. Kano = okay ck solo = okay the other ck = okay mmpool = okay nicehash is a no go as the rentals could point to the top five. I have to study this but this is a different 50% attack then block with-holding it is fucking worse really bad truly will kill btc while the top pools make more profit doing it then not doing it. A fix is very important some say segwit but I think not. A simple jump to 4,000,000 size blocks would work for now. or everyone boycotts those top five. Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: wavelengthsf on December 23, 2017, 04:18:36 AM It also helps to circulate lists of pools that we know don't pay fees. I posted on reddit about Antpool, and people pointed out that only the PPNS and Solo pools keep the fees, the PPS version charges a percentage of the fees.
Aside from Antpool - does BTC.com pay fees? Who else withholds these? Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees.

As a noob who has been researching and learning and soaking up everything I can for the past 1.5 months while I wait for my S9's, the last piece of my puzzle is what pool to use. After all of my reading the recommendations on this forum, I will use Kano. A bit daunting for a noob to setup but I am sure once I actually try with my miners in hand, I will have no problem. Looks like you have really put together a solid trustworthy pool in a field of greedy pool owners. Kudos! Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: beltsniffer on December 23, 2017, 09:41:59 PM I looked at it more closely since the top six keep fees but via.btc does give back some of them at the monment. I'm not pushing viabtc, but that is only their pps+ that pays partial fees. The pplns pays fees and they actually use a 5nd method like kano.isSo the top five are a no go zero money sense to mine on them. Viabtc is more complex. they are paying more then the block but not all the fees to the miners. but the top five simply can not be used. The do however charge a 2% fee like slush which is more than double the normal kano.is rate. Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees.

How does this compare with Kano etc? On my pool it's 0.9% of total BTC that comes in - 99.1% of all incoming BTC goes back to miners - way more then them - (though it's 100% at the moment til the end of the year) On a PPS pool they'd have to actually tell you what they are keeping and giving out over a month to determine what % they are keeping. It will be higher than 0.9% and extremely likely many times higher. All PPS pools like to provide ambiguous information about their payouts - yes they all do - so that people don't realise how high the fees really are.

Do consider adding P2Pool — both mainnet (https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool) and jtoomim's fork (https://github.com/jtoomim/p2pool/tree/1mb_segwit). Here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg21368573#msg21368573) is a simple step-by-step guide to setting up a PyPy-based jtoomimnet P2Pool node on Ubuntu 16.04 and later. Edit: The guide assumes that your system is running an up-to-date and fully-synced Bitcoin full node — e.g., Bitcoin Core — with the -server, -rpcuser=<user>, and -rpcpassword=<pw> command-line options enabled, and that your firewall allows incoming connections on ports 8333 (Bitcoin's P2P port), 9332 (P2Pool's default worker port), and 9333 (P2Pool's P2P port). Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: digaran on December 25, 2017, 05:26:20 AM Thank you frodocooper for the sticky, this is really important, theymos must put a link in the news header for every body to see, there is nothing stopping them now, if they are not sharing the fees with miners, it means that they are using your hash rate to manipulate the fees without paying you any thing from it, if every body just leaves them and starts mining on the pools sharing block reward and the fees, I'd tell you how the fees will go back to normal because these greedy pools would run out of money. think about the long term, don't help them to keep the fees high, in long term people would switch to other coins and when they do that, bringing them back would be extremely hard.

That is a really hard question to answer. But I see only BTC in trouble as the math is dead solid correct that BTC can have fee rate jacked up with ease. Do I mine at Zpool yes not BTC Do I mine at NiceHash yes not BTC Do I mine at Miningpoolhub yes not BTC At the moment BTC has an easy way to manipulate fees by the top Six pools the math is there. You can argue that mining with https://pool.viabtc.com/pool/btc/profit/ALL/ that they pay back some of the fees. all of the coins above 100% is some of the fees. So to make sure I am not feeding the fee monster and not getting killed by variance. I mine 2 s-9s on viabtc.--------- no variance I mine 2 s-9s on mmpool. ------ high variance If alot of miners did this problem goes away and you will not get crushe with high fees or high variance. so ½ on viabtc pps ---------- no variance ½ on kano-------------------- high variance or ½ on viabtc pps ---------- no variance ½ on mmpool---------------- high variance or ½ on viabtc pps --------------no variance ½ on ck's pool ----------------high variance any pattern like the one above would be helpful Date Hashrate Total Profit Unit Output(TH/s) PPS Profit PPLNS Profit SOLO Profit PPS+ Rate 2017-12-26 22.844T 0.00166932 0.00015943 0.00135316 0.00031616 0 118.43% 2017-12-25 22.541T 0.00377373 0.00016741 0.00290061 0.00087312 0 124.9% 2017-12-24 22.719T 0.00425017 0.00018707 0.0029248 0.00132537 0 139.5% 2017-12-23 22.555T 0.00494303 0.00021915 0.0029121 0.00203093 0 162.95% 2017-12-22 22.510T 0.00536606 0.00023838 0.00289729 0.00246877 0 177.8% 2017-12-21 22.788T 0.00492021 0.00021591 0.00294698 0.00197323 0 160.28% 2017-12-20 22.867T 0.00415326 0.00018162 0.00294023 0.00121303 0 135.61% 2017-12-19 22.492T 0.00376132 0.00016723 0.00289554 0.00086578 0 124.7% 2017-12-18 22.656T 0.00438107 0.00019337 0.00341745 0.00096362 0 123.07% 2017-12-17 24.742T 0.0046689 0.00018870 0.00377236 0.00089654 0 118.81% 2017-12-16 27.328T 0.00523549 0.00019158 0.00415086 0.00108463 0 121.08% 2017-12-15 27.102T 0.00501499 0.00018504 0.00412332 0.00089167 0 116.76% 2017-12-14 27.754T 0.00533809 0.00019233 0.00420781 0.00113028 0 121.78% 2017-12-13 27.653T 0.00518566 0.00018752 0.00419169 0.00099397 0 118.76% As you see above they do pay some back extra.

Post by: philipma1957 on December 27, 2017, 03:52:36 PM yeah I am looking for a better list then that.
I checked it out and one thing it does show is that Antpool is grabbing an average of 2.2 extra coins from the miners. for every block they made in the month of December. I know miners worry about variance. But if you have 10 s-9s. Five at your pool kano.is and five at viabtc.com doing pps+ the variance factor becomes a non-issue. Plus the ability for fee manipulation gets greatly reduced. I have proven that fee manipulation by the top pools that are not paying tx fees would make a profit if they choose to do it. I am researching evidence that the top pools are doing fee manipulation. I have a project that will be able to show an example of fee manipulation occurring in about a dozen days. Frankly I want to prove myself wrong as it would really dishearten me to find out that it is being systematically done by any major pools. I am looking at these transactions https://blockchain.info/tx/17673434e6a74de37403db7d2f7ca1193154824d7f389f629ea6d5411b2ab937 https://blockchain.info/tx/9af30f8dbe02dc5adf324ac4fb06dad3815b7583568ad717e4b236c5f25c60cc https://blockchain.info/tx/f5ceeb1a6b782b3797af37067926d345bf8cfd5f7540eda1003afe92087c2fd1 https://blockchain.info/tx/42f64e8e2920394660e8aacccd2d27d1a5c49ca3bbcf964136f6d828e7c8249b https://blockchain.info/tx/a5272370cd24c0106d547c618128e3ea6e6055b2f66ce850c3b16511637aa446 https://blockchain.info/tx/4aea26856d0eb1d9dc936c8efe44e685add68297c118976c314930e373a2b798 https://blockchain.info/tx/2a57d3ef5ff7838a031508e3ab3f6478668f516dd39b01f74cd6d7e4b5ecae24 https://blockchain.info/tx/14908a4458cb5ed452a8a2eb9873c796dc0fa3553d81c6c97f7bad32b2208625 https://blockchain.info/tx/a7aaeddb9cd15d3acd574a6120de45d2a4402cb93b1004072e5469e26af2ebc7 https://blockchain.info/tx/c944c18f5e34fdb0f770a6332a6d610d4b453bfa82b68fc9e392720361100521 https://blockchain.info/tx/3228bef9377c99f88940615375dfa7b69e54c18dee5ebe5a37dd71688f4579b4 https://blockchain.info/tx/b34a3e937a975963799f94fa086afde0bbe542a7df63f41de9315ba6c1877a3e https://blockchain.info/tx/a30068e21639b3fa621cff5b8affff2d523aadecc0406ba259561b2b6acdca7d https://blockchain.info/tx/d58ea37c4719feba5bf337e8306479e40f078e7167b76e8255b2f90fb724c298 https://blockchain.info/tx/ad0b49b09896b5ff025615e7f02a7156ca04f2def42b5d6cb2ff06f1c014ff65 https://blockchain.info/tx/c286b5909df2f1581e918c0037533f07c775cbbfa6adf189adc73e4527a8c026 https://blockchain.info/tx/23daeefc9cb7db69dc0b16d20d64f81e75b06e5a7a79e23619517f215940f9d6 https://blockchain.info/tx/9cc68d81f0558d618201ae040d877a52fb5565f129e9fa0322f590ce4f17ebdb https://blockchain.info/tx/95f4fe6b237d688f6bcc861abc74a5f049e2047c6dd4da719705f343645e6478 https://blockchain.info/tx/059c6befdff25451384c9eef37bdcf9dbc71c7230b9a90b88679cba88d5bdf2e https://blockchain.info/tx/6faf16ad6ddb81c4a811a5753104f7be91885c4ac83d24f6bba8e59a66af84f8 https://blockchain.info/tx/d9ad37c604ea876673785a3fa1d9438051289181da40e8ff60d2457618263f29 https://blockchain.info/tx/a2957092e355aefd86575af0da4829def71cd7a32fdae8f79aa54e8aa2c47083 https://blockchain.info/tx/a83a5c355d4d5c37f1636587e6740ccf8a9ee228f80559e7ae7579f38e299c80 https://blockchain.info/tx/b918b596c390196c0d41ab3fe67241173d161cb991ce939eb78568487e16b5ca https://blockchain.info/tx/c8017d86831fa565df40606cdfe5b08da449df1e133e65ecf7188c71c81189d3 https://blockchain.info/tx/33055364302afa3a57835211fa7f92de8f8cedc55f8726f612d7c7e618967d93 https://blockchain.info/tx/183e8dd0c03ad7833021c38d64aa4a5d352eba279a7149e9288f6a57477bd2ce https://blockchain.info/tx/74d7be655ad55fd8967cb89d8a950f12bad1c8a9d4d671e3cebce8bb91a0d2eb There is a pattern with the tx fees.

Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: philipma1957 on January 08, 2018, 04:44:53 PM Here is my issue with the transactions above.
read the post above the fees here for a 1335 byte transaction that creates 30 to 50 227 byte sized transaction most of those 1335 byte transaction were white listed at 0.0001 btc yet a normal 1000 byte transaction cost 0.004 to 0.009 if you Study these charts below https://i.imgur.com/2gVzz0L.png (https://i.imgur.com/2gVzz0L.png) https://i.imgur.com/N3hmJob.png (https://i.imgur.com/N3hmJob.png) Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: philipma1957 on January 08, 2018, 05:02:57 PM So I pay 0.0001 for a 1335 byte transaction
while the average pay 0.0052 btc to 0.0117 for a 1335 transaction under 8 sats a byte vs 400 sats a byte the transactions above were 1 per day small scale I found them because I was one of the payee's on each one. By itself that is not so bad for the payee to do this with a side deal from a pool. If the pool returns the vast majority of the tx fees to the miners. but lets say antpool and btc.com return ½ the tx fees not 100% they mine 40% of all coins between them so ½ fee payback = 20% of all fees they keep. so the transactions I show 0.0001 for 1335 bytes makes about fortyfour 227 sized tx later or 10000 bytes later on and at .004 for 1000 it is 0.04 in fees later and as high as 0.09 in fees on one of the higher days. at best antpool+btc.com keeps 20% of all network fees each day so 20% of 0.04 = 0.008 so for each 0.0001 spent they get 0.0080 an 80 fold increase for them worse case was 0.09 x say 25% = 0.0225 for spending 0.0001 or a 225 to 1 increase. this is not good as it can make it next to impossible to move coins Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: JaredKaragen on January 08, 2018, 10:47:28 PM TBH I caught yobit skimming during the full-block days.
See; When the blocks were full several months ago, They released a a statement that they would be increasing their withdraw fee to make for faster transaction times. Totally fine with that. They even announced it in their twitter. Next, TX fees were lowering; the network was less congested ~.5-1 month after the BTC/BCC fork. (or was it the BTC/BTG fork??) I noticed when I did a withdraw from yobit; the fees for withdraw were still over 0.0025mbtc. When I checked the Tx for my incoming payment from them; I noticed total TX fees were 0.0009xx. Totally not what they said. There were only 2 transfers in that single txid; and I think one of the two was providing the change back to one of their wallets. I opened a support ticket; they said the tx fees were clearly mentioned before and there was "no problem here". I referenced this tweet in my support ticket: https://twitter.com/yobitexchange/status/872855875299442689?lang=en also quoting the txid that a WAY different number has been used to "speed up confirmation" which was lightyears less than what they took out to do the withdraw (they took over 0.0025) Here's the Tx from them: https://blockchain.info/tx/76de2aa961a5a2edfcf9c81179b025ecac6195b443315b53458808294c289573 So... they ended up silently changing their withdraw fee. My response proving their support ticket lie; is still un-answered.... which is..... See; Everyone is always tempted to steal or take a cut wherever they can. The US government is a prime example of this standard disheartening activity. I really highly suggest that people blow this up.... I mean, as far out as possible. If we can stomp down the fatties; they will feel the pains of their dishonest behavior. Not telling the truth is dishonest. Withholding vital pertinent information is dishonest. We should do what we can to squeeze out as much of this in our community as possible. Title: Re: Why all miners need to mine on a pool that pays them the tx fees. Post by: kano on January 08, 2018, 11:14:20 PM There's also a 2nd very obvious possibility about what's going on:
Since fees are so high that you can only really spend thousands of dollars with BTC to get lower fees than using a credit card or paypal, that means that people will want a way to make small BTC transactions (hundreds of dollars or less) If Core keeps the block size at 1M and SegWit isn't a block size solution (as was obvious before it was implemented) then anyone who wants people to use off chain transactions will be happy with the current BTC problem (that of course still hasn't been solved by SegWit) That would mean payment channels and side chains ... hmm I wonder who wants to make people use that ...

1) mine at a full fee payment pool with some hash and mine at a 50% fee payment pool with the rest. Not perfect only okay 28 th on a partial pool 17 th on a full pay tx pool So I get about 75% of fees paid back . 2) mine gpus and alt coins I have about 20k worth of s-9s I have about 50k worth of 1080tis I try using ltc to move funds around as it cost less. I figure a simple move to 8 million size for transactions ends the fee problem for a few years. I know 32 million is max we can go to. Which should cover issue for a decade. My hope is a strong attempt to boost fees using the method about does not happen. 1000 sats for a 227 size tx is 0.00227000 btc about 30 usd this could be the new norm for moving coins.

Last 2 weeks 1 btc per block has been common. Is this means you need to go for pools giving you at least some of that 1 btc. https://www.blockchain.com/explorer?utm_campaign=dcomnav_explorer some blocks below made this sunday the 2nd of august. 641927 0.537 in btc 641926 0.442 641925 0.728 641924 1.593 641923 0.617 641922 0.494 641921 0.297 641920 1.265 as you can see some fees are well over 1 btc smallest was .297 btc. VIABTC.com is a pps+ pool they pay part of the fees they are at 111% payout average right now due to high fees https://www.viabtc.com/pool/state solo.ckpool pays almost all the tc fees to you mmpool.org will give the block winner the entire tx a huge bonus. kano.is gives out the fees to the miners. whenever we get to tx fees at 10% + look for pools giving this out to you. as to how long these .5btc to 2.0 btc tx fees will last this time i don't know but pick pools that will share it to you. I was asked if this applies to other coins. It does but in each case you need to see how high that coin is charging for fees. BTC = 112.06% at viabtc LTC =. 96.16% at viabtc viabtc starts at 96% many pps+ pools start at that point. You can see just how high the btc fees are compared to ltc. |
