Sorry, I was reusing a post on the monitor thread.  This is just about first time user hookup in an Antminer s3....it seems to be registering but not with the website interface and not with other apps like the CKPool Monitor.  I've edited it to make it more appropriate.

Thanks.  In the field for URL I usually have had better luck so far just with a format like:
http://port80.mining.eligius.st   Wasn't able to connect there using the syntax of
stratum+tcp://domain:3333

Sorry if this was asked before but when a thread has 1049 pages, doing your homework can be a bit tiresome.  I even googled it and didn't find it.  

How long does it take for one's account to be registering in CKPool?   My Kano.is account is also just about 2.5 hours old now.

I did everything that I understood it said, like creating a worker for each machine but I didn't seem to be getting any readings on pool interface, just in the text box area it said I was mining and getting shares and my hashrate.

I am pointing my antminers to http://stratum.kano.is:3333, using btc addresses with _worker1, _worker2  I didn't register anything else on the pool interface, usual sign-up log in procedures.

Thanks, I did everything that I understood it said, like creating two workers for each machine but I didn't seem to be
getting any readings on its interface, just in the text box area it said I was mining and getting shares.  Going to figure
this one out later tonight.

I believe this was asked before in the thread but never answered.  How long does it take for one's account to be registering in the CKPool Monitor?   My Kano.is account is also just about 2.5 hours old now. 

Thanks.  This post clarified it more but only after I had some experience.  Hopefully anyone who is a noob might learn something from this thread besides myself.  It's almost like with a small pool you have the next step up from solo mining, because it might be 3 months or more before someone finds a block, and hence the time for you to get paid.  And I guess really small pools that only distribute earnings into payouts after a block is found by the pool will take much longer than that.

There was something not clarified in this thread.  mmpool says:

Part of the reward is paid out as Pay Per Share (PPS). This amount is available for withdrawal immediately. The rest is paid out using the Double Geometric Method (DGM) and this is paid out when a block is found. This depends on pool hash rate.

So, I've been mining here (various combos of S1, S3, and lesser) and I have 0.00505145 in DGM and 0.0 in PPS.  

It's taken a good amount of time and was expecting the payout because I hit the minimum amount listed (on front page it doesn't clarify
the DGM/PSS under payout).

Someone I know told me two weeks ago I should be with a bigger pool like Eligius, since the payout would be faster.  They have a .05 BTC threshold so thought that was strange that he said that.   But I can see this seems to be the case.  

Thanks.  It was setting up a second antminer that wasn't reading root/root after reset.  I got help immediately after posting here and he didn't even accept the bounty reward I had posted in the thread.  I'll close this thread.

Just found something you guys could put on your list for Santa

Make sure you add a note that you'll be using this for PascalCoins as the elves need a couple days notice.

This can just be done on eBay, personal websites via paypal, etc.

If you look at this coin compared to some others, it doesn't seem to have the very high levels and then long term at very small levels.  The levels are wide but not that wide.  I don't know what the ROI is to the current marketcap. 

I meant jealousy meaning instead of people wanting to see the still remaining halfway decent coins grow, and especially SHA256 ones, they would just as soon not donate time, kind of an unconscious jealousy that if they don't win out, the other guy doesn't either.   People should utilize the old Antminers for this coin.

I have a problem where I am mining a scrypt coin and then restart to mine a SHA256 coin and doesn't seem to enter SHA256 mode and speed.  I even unplugged both cords for about 30 seconds and this wouldn't restart it.  Anyone have information on this? 

OK, we'll see what gets done.

Thanks.  I am new to trading and only traded zCash for BTC so far.  I did just buy 1000 DGB but it was .00044000

OK, but I think what is first for those who understand how things are done in the world is pay an agent or evangelist to contact and tutor existing chess channels on what you want to do, and how to do it.  Someone needs to walk them through it, and I gather you might be too busy to do that.  So, offer someone a bounty for this position, and since I recommended it, I will take it up if you're interested.  I like the game of chess and have been wanting to get back into it.

I think what coins like this need are not so much new miners but the bagholders, whales, and wanna-be-coin-faux-millionaires to release their holdings to a marketplace so they can distribute the economy of the coins.  Otherwise, human jealousy just wants to see you fail.

What is the best pool for mining this with an Sha256 ASIC? 

I think this coin could double its community if you had a evangelist to try to get people to mine it with their old ASICS.

How about insuring Crypto exchanges like Poloniex, like the way banks are insured against default.  Do you think an insurance agency would take on something like that?  Maybe BTC only. 

There he is:

I would not CPU mine on laptops with even cooling at under 70 degrees.  Maybe if you have an old one you can leave on that is unusable for anything else, but then a poor person could use it for something like writing, internet and music files.   It would probably burn out quickly mining CPU, but it could also be used to run a USB ASIC.
