Is the transaction history ok for this? Maybe a link or button on the first page after login would be faster than having to go through the menu at the top?

cenicsoft, thanks a lot for that post. That gives me some food for thought.

The two parts of the website I am most unhappy with are the front page and the account details page which you get right after login.

What should be on the page after login?

Seeing how your own mining is gong makes a lot of sense. Perhaps instead of the pay per block some info on your hashrate could do the job? Maybe a small graph of your hashrate over recent shifts, as well as your current live hashrate? A lot of people like to watch the pool hashrate as well. It's already displayed at the top of every page, but it could be shown in the same graph as well.

Keeping the account balance is probably good too.

How many blocks do we need to find before you get X coins which you want to spend on something? Ok, I can see that this is something many would want. It's difficult to do that without getting all the confusion I was trying to put an end to. Perhaps the optional display you mentioned is a solution. I also have to explain to people several times per day that they get paid when blocks are found, not when shifts are finished. Obviously the website is confusing in this regard. I would like the website to make this fact obvious: "when blocks come in, coins come in". I'm not sure how best to do that, and I want to avoid the focus on how much you get per block and all the confusion that ensues.

To anyone using Bitminter: after you log in what do you most often need? Not necessarily exact numbers or buttons, but what you'd use them for.

The second way I used it was to estimate how long to hit a certain goal. yes, I could use a mining calculator for that. This made it easier since I knew how many blocks would need to be solved in order to earn a certain amount specifically at Bitminer. 

The L1 does NOT and will never mine x11. Lets put that to rest now.

So until it CLEARLY says they don't, I will keep believing X11 will be included

Understood?

Are you blind? can you not see others also saying the same shit I am saying, why don't you show me where it says that it won't have that feature? you fucking idiot

Now let's see here are other users saying the same shit I am saying so clearly I am not the only one, dumb ass

It would be very useful if those who want the "estimated pay per block" number back could explain what they get out of it.

Here is how I see it:

The shifts page shows how much work you did at which time and how well it was paid. The payment for a block is many of these lumped into one bigger number, which is much less informative.

Imagine you do a little mining for a couple hours in the morning. Later you mine a couple hours in the evening. We find a block and both the morning and evening work is paid. Later we find another block and only the evening work is paid, as the morning work is no longer among the 10 latest shifts.

Looking at the two payments you got one big first and then one small payment later. You could look at the time the blocks were found and correlate that with your work in the 10 latest shifts at the time, and you'll understand what's going on. But most people won't. They will believe they are being punished for not mining 24/7. Or that "I need to wind up that PPLNS-thing, so I get paid fairly again."

Looking at the new shifts page you can instead look at how much work you did in the morning hours, and in the evening hours. And you can see that the morning work was paid an average rate, while the evening work was luckier and received double that.

I really believe this shows much better the relation between work you did and the pay you received.

What is perhaps missing is showing the 10 paid shifts on the block page (when you click a block in the block list). Would that be of help?

Yes, that would be good. It's no longer easy to figure out how much you can expect per block when you have TH/s coming in and out of BitMinter. To me, pay per shift is useless.  You only get paid when a block is found. Everything else is noise unless you are on a pool that pays for work done regardless of blocks being found.

I'm not in the market, but I'm simply curious... How much are the S3 coupons discounting? Why/when did they issue these.

Thanks!

well, 2 out of 2 and 1 out of one (mine) makes no rule, especially if we are talking about different batches. B1-3 had a "weaker" controller that resulted in some machines hashing at 410-415 GH. I had one of these and re-pasting it made absolutely no difference.

What would the explanation for that be?   One that makes economic sense.   That was more my question.

On the second kit?

There will be some kits soonish for multiple units, but generally you can't put 5kW of heat in an arrangement like this [easily]. Coolant temps would be too high by the 5th unit, and the head pressure required to go through 5 sets of waterblocks would require pumps in series which is never a great idea. Remember the tube cross section is pretty low, so the minor losses become significant if you try and increase flow rate significantly - which is what you need to cool 5 units on one loop.

For now, the shipping on the second individual kit for now is only about $15, so you get the entire kit delivered for about $65.

What is up with the large swings in average TH/s per shift?   Why does is it swing that much?

Wow, Netdomain at almost 500 th/s.... pfff.


And there is Falhcor, having fun man  (pff 210th/s).

Men i feel tiny with only 190gh/s....

BTC0.4 for an S3 with power. I'll provide shipping label

I think you have a valid point. Unless, they only tested for less than a week prior to shipping. I would give them the benefit of doubt since they have been really good miner manufacturer. I'm sure all the miners have horror stories with other ASIC miner manufacturers especially with pre-orders not delivering on time and many problems from the start.

I definitely will purchase S4s. But it's matter of when I see most of the miners are satisfy. There will be few who will never be satisfied no matter what.
