A real ISP. 

See  Even here I get different opinions! I also talked to the Ledger support and they told me it works just like any other wallet, that was why I had the funds sent there, but it sounds like they might not. Coinbase say's specifically to not have mining rewards sent to their address, at least somewhere it says it (I found where, it is the ETHEREUM Wallet Address that say's "Warning: Do not send ETH mining rewards or ETC directly to this address") because when I first started I was going to use them and that is what prompted me to get the Ledger. So it looks like I could use Coinbase as the destination for the mining rewards from here.

But for now I think for now I am going to use JAXX and see how that works as they support pretty much every currency and I have the keys to it and passphrase et cetera.

I love hearing all the information on the subject guys, even if it confuses me more, still good stuff to know!

To Exchange or not to Exchange, THAT is the question! 

That is what we were talking about. I have, had, all my winnings for BTC going to my Ledger Nano S. After that I usually sent the BTC to the exchange, but my transaction fee kept going up. The last time I got $60 or so bucks in coins (4-5 payouts worth for me) I went to send it to the exchange and the Nano wanted over $15 to send $60 bucks worth of bitcoin! (And that was on the cheapest Low Priority one) So I did a custom one and selected 100 Satashoi's but that ended up beeing too low and no miner picked it up to confirm it so it was stuck. So I used a transaction accelerator and it worked.

But ultimately the issue is, where to send mined rewards from here to that is the safest & cheapest to either keep or use on an exchange. He was asking why I don't have my rewards sent to my exchange and I was saying that everything I have read said not to have rewards sent to exchanges but to a wallet first, then to an exchange. Even the moderators at the exchange I use said to do it that way.
So that is the issue

I'm a little confused, why don't you just have the mining rewards go straight to your hardware wallet?

I thought about having them sent to the Exchange, but everything I have read and people I have talked to have said not to do that so I haven't done that.

That worked! I got it in right at the hour change and within 20 minutes it went through!

Don't worry just means another block real soon.

Can anyone answer a couple of questions for me? I have my payments from here sent to my Ledger Nano S and then I send those funds to the exchange I use. The transaction fee continues to grow every time I send funds from my nano to the exchange. For a 60 dollar transaction it is up to almost 15 bucks to send to the exchange. Why is that transaction fee continuing to grow every time I send funds to the exchange?

The other question is, what happens if I select a custom transaction fee and I send it with the minimum satochies (however you spell them)? I tried it and set it at the minimum, which was 100. What happens if I get no confirmations on that transaction? Does it eventually come back to my Nano S?

Thanks!

And grats on all the blocks!

The pool has been failing over a lot lately, Many dropped connections   , sadly these S9's fail to handle failover properly

Well if you look at the "Monthly Statistics" it says if we are ahead of behind based on the month's blocks found vs shares submitted.

At the moment it's 59 Blocks with 58.87 Expected - which means we are just a fraction ahead of expected (thanks to those last 2 quick ones)

That's the target of this growth - get us closer to the expected 100%
Yeah it's awesome to get months like Feb and Apr, but it also means months like Dec are more likely also
Higher hash rate means less variance

Another failover at 20:34 UTC, this time it seems it was a general everyone affected, but again a failover then a failback pretty quickly.
Seems to be some network issues on the west coast US, but since each time it has been so quick there's nothing showing up at the provider.

too late to sell  wait for bounce back   to 2400 sell ½ then

I had 1.4, I sold mine. I am back down to 14 bucks (from my measly PASC miners) and whatever coins I get from Kano's pool when we get another block. But I will just grow it back up. I need a new Refrigerator so selling at 2400 was a good deal for me.

Given the quite public turmoil of debates over segwit and the potential to turn BTC into the next ETC, I'm still not seeing why it ever went over $1,200 to begin with (I have my own non-provable conspiracy-theories that involve segwit fanboys intentionally pumping the price, in order to force transactions and clog the mempool, with the long con being to persuade more people that we "need" segwit, but I'll not clog the pool thread with all that).
