Still not quite the kinda win that allows you to walk into your bosses office, and say "Take this Job and Shove it".  No, probably not... but certainly one that allows you to walk into the boss's office and say, "I'm taking a week's vacation to the islands!" |

On my PPLNS pool you get paid each time a block is found.
Just a tiny correction to this statement. On kano's pool you get paid once the block is found, confirmed and the generated coins from the block reward have matured. I only write this so that you don't think you get paid immediately when a block is found . I didn't actually expect anything instantaneous. On Slush, there's a "100 confirmation" delay built into the actual payout. That's at least hours, though usually less than a day, in duration. The only pools (that I know of currently) in which you get actual generated coins are p2pool, Eligius and ck.'s solo pool. The payout system at Eligius is convoluted. You have to wait some amount of time to even make it into the payout queue, you then have to wait 101 confirmations before you can use the coins you mined. When p2pool finds a block and you've got shares on the share chain you get part of the 25 BTC block reward paid to you. You must also wait for the 101 confirmations for the coin to mature. Get lucky and find a block on ck.'s solo pool and the coins are generated directly to your address - also necessary to wait the 101 confirmations. I'm not sure how some of the other solo mining pools payouts work, but if they're like ck.'s pool, then you're getting the coins generated from the block reward and are waiting the 101 confirmations. |

Seriously, all of these "my BTC was sent an address I don't know" posts are ridiculous. It's like at least once a week about change addresses.
Whats so ridiculous about those questions? Its a hard to grasp concept that bitcoin comes in lumps and is not just a balance where one can deduct a certain any amount. The questions only shows that most wallets do a very good job in hiding the details of the implementation from the user and that blockchain explorers are an unreliable tool when trying to assess a wallet. It's ridiculous that it's constantly happening. If people constantly have to ask you have a serious design flaw, but I don't expect the fucking morons around here to understand that. I have no idea if you're complaining about the people asking the questions, or that change address implementation is flawed in some way, or if you're stating that the blockchain explorers are flawed. Who exactly are the morons to whom you're referring? DannyHamilton's explanation is very good. You should not be using a blockchain explorer to track the operation of your wallet. If you are going to look at the blockchain explorer, you really should have some idea of the workings of the protocol to know that transactions are composed of inputs and outputs. |

8 days and 7 hours. That's how long it's been since p2pool found a block. In other words, this week's numbers are a big fat goose egg. On the bright side, it's the very first week of the test that both NastyP2P and NastyPoP paid exactly the same  .4/10 - 4/17 NastyPoP - 0.00028594 BTCNastyP2P - 0 BTCExpected - 0.0313 BTCLuck - 0% OP updated EDIT: As OgNasty pointed out, I did in fact receive a payout from NastyPoP. Even though no blocks were found, because NastyPoP payouts include the donations from 300 seats, I got some BTC. |

What is: Pool Payment Method:
POW
Especially since your site says this: Q: When will I get paid?
A: This pool uses the following payout system.
Proportional (Prop) - The block reward is distributed among miners in proportion to the number of shares they submitted in a round. The expected reward per share depends on the number of shares already submitted in the round.

Ok the worst luck record has been broken in p2pool today, last was on 2015-02-18 21:02:22 which was 13.24% and present round luck shows 13.22% Congrats everyone for being a part of it lmao  I'd like to thank the Academy for giving me the opportunity... oh wait, wrong acceptance speech . Thankfully most of my gear has been rented out so I've been fortunate enough to have received some BTC. My 2 S3s are still plugging away on the Nasty node test. Looks like my update this week is going to be easy to write, though. Now, if we figure about a day and a half expected to solve a block, we're at about 533%. |

Show it to them. Purchase something. Take them somewhere that accepts BTC and pay with your mobile. Trade on an exchange. Let them see it in action.

**Urgent Announcement**
We've made a change to our BullShit Payout System (BSPS). In order to not receive their earnings, miners are now required to log on to our irc channel (#butthurtnet) & wait for a few days in the slim hope that I will appear online at some point. If I do, miners must personally beg me for their payments. I will then either ignore you or only pay the miners who I like & have large hash power, if I do at all.
Thanks for the BTC.
N0ts0br.
I was wondering when you were going to break your silence and make another announcement! Now everyone can point their miners back here since they will maybe possibly get paid if they show up in IRC begging. Oh, and you better not get sick for 8 days again! Must have been quite the sickness. Sure hope all those BTC donations helped you with your medical expenses! |

Can someone here show proof of a pool paying more than 101% since it's start or at least a whole year?
Sure, I was part of the miners at nice/westhash as it was paying out great. If someone wants to set one pool and is not impatient for payouts, what pool is honestly better?
kano's pool has paid over 101%. When I initially wrote my comparison of BAN vs p2pool, p2pool had paid out far greater than BAN had. My thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=875644.0. P2Pool's luck has been particularly awful as of late, and I am aware of that fact. Check out the thread for the details of the comparison - and some fun lunacy by some of our old favorite BAN characters |

Congrats 727miner! Since you rented the gear, I checked my own miners (since they've been rented pretty much non-stop for the past week) and thankfully it wasn't one of mine that found the block. That would have been downright depressing, especially since I've got them pointed here when they're not being rented |

Where can I find the technical specifications of the task performed by an ASIC?
That may be ASIC-specific - though most of them are going to follow exactly the bit that you quoted. Just to emphasize - they're not returning the hash of those 80 bytes, but the nonce (and sometimes that's an offset nonce) that leads to a valid hash. If you wanted to look at early technical approaches, I think you'd have to go way back in time to the FPGA designs. The earliest ASICs were largely referencing those. ( Of course an FPGAs *could* perform limited general purpose hashing if you modify the code. ) Might even be GPU, though I'd think that on GPUs you might as well perform a full test, rather than a partial. Thanks again. You are being very helpful. If it returns only the winning nounce then it can't be very useful for other purposes. So I am going to dig into the old FPGA designs threads... They aren't useful for ANY other purpose. That's why they're called Application Specific... FPGA are useful for other things precisely because they're programmable. |

I dont recomend buying a bitcoin. The price has been decreasing for much time now.
Tell you what, I'll gladly sell you one of mine for $1000. It'll make you feel better since it's a high price! |

A Brazillian with a Greek name?
My father is greek, didn't understand your surprise... People move to a new country all the time. Apart from that, if you are worried about double spends then ask for payments from coinbase and blockchain.info customers. I think coinbase is safer though I have never used it before. But to be honest with you, a sandwich truck should ONLY accept cash  Also, I believe that with new tech coming out there will be no worries regarding confirmation times. E-wallets will take care of that - much like Paypal but for bitcoin. The example of a food truck was not very nice, but some food truck do offer credit card payment so i don't think bitcoins are so off the curve. About only accepting blockchain or coinbase Can't do that, i can't say "we accept bitcoins, but just from here, not from your personal wallet" The whole idea is to give people the option to pay in any way they want, cash, credit card, bitcoins... And to offer that same payment options to anyone interested. Here people think that only high volume transactions can be made with bitcoins, like buying a car or a house. If i could make them understand that there is much more to it... There is a whole new market here You can certainly accept BTC. For a manual process, as the merchant you'd just fire up your wallet of choice on your phone and generate a QR code for the amount the customer owes you. Customer scans that with his wallet of choice and sends you the coins. It's up to you as the merchant to manage how willing you are to accept the risk of 0 confirmation transactions. For receipts, unlike cash, you've got a record of the transaction. if you're going all digital, why bother with a piece of paper at all? The customer can certainly verify the transaction on the blockchain. Now, if you wanted to get a bit fancy, you could have a tie-in to your POS terminal that would first generate the request and QR code based on the sale amount, and then once the customer sends the coins, you could have the notification sent to a printer to provide the receipt to the customer. |

This pool still has the highest payouts........in theory and on paper. Actually getting the payout to your wallet is the issue.
8 days sick. Sorry....but no. He may be honest but he's taking advantage of all the small miners. If he wants to treat the pool as hobby he should delete this thread and tell everyone.
In theory you'll get 101% of expected earnings. On paper... well... kano's pool has done better than 101% in reality. |

Wow... Where to even begin. Pool operator was so sick that for 8 days he was completely incapacitated and the pool was unable to execute a payout. Assuming you actually believe that nonsense you are accepting that payouts are a completely manual process dependent upon the health and well-being of the pool owner. Payout delays of 5-7 days are the accepted standard operating procedure. If you ask nicely in IRC you might be lucky enough to receive a payout. You simply can not find a pool that pays more 100% of the time.
The hell I can't... Pretty much every other pool qualifies. |

Even the newbie knows where to look... there may be hope yet. Nice job annmarie Tlee88 - This forum is for bitcoin technical support. It is most certainly not the proper place to ask about learning to code, or the cost of hiring someone to do it for you. |

Wow... 50BTC in 2 days with 650TH/s... now that's a nice payday!
