Ok, turns out I'm ignorant.

I was able to get the majority out by exporting and importing my keys into a new wallet.

Got scared there for a bit.

So I don't know what to make of this... Maybe I didn't RTDM?

The following image shows that I'm getting an insufficient funds error when trying to send .927 Bitcoin to another address. It can clearly be seen that my account has more than enough to cover the transaction. I had just input about .913 from coins I purchased from Coinbase to make a Bitcoin payment on another website but didn't want to do the transaction directly from Coinbase. Now, I don't even know. Wow! How can it even begin to tell me I only have .0493 available??



The next image shows what might be going on here. Quite a while ago I purchased some hashpower from a mining farm and they have been making very small payments every day. I just kinda forgot about it as a bad investment. But going in and looking at the transactions I see what might be going on...



A .0071 transaction fee for a .00012726 transaction? At todays rate, they are charging me about $1.53 to input less than 3 pennies?!? Why wouldn't they notify me? Why wouldn't they reflect that fee in my total balance? Is this some kind of joke or accident?

Did I seriously just throw my $200 into a wallet that won't let me get it out again??

I can only speak for myself though I have no issue with the current pool fee. I'm hearing a lot of calls for a reduction in the pool fees for the recent troubles/bugs though I disagree. The fact that you are spending the time to fix them and continue to make the pool better are why you deserve these fees to begin with. Your efforts allow me to live my life and spend zero time constantly monitoring exchange rates, changing pools, exchanging coins, etc. If people are worried about maximizing their hashpower and profits, there are better, but more time consuming ways for doing that IMO. Time is money so it evens out in my perspective.

Just my opinion, YMMV 

+1

Uh oh, just noticed the "[suspicious link removed]" tag in my original post. Hope I didn't break any rules. I found that pool on this site in fact and actually didn't have any intention of advertising it. Oh well, hope I didn't draw too much negative attention 

Otherwise, thanks for the welcoming words all. And naw, I'm not going in with a competitive mindset. There's enough coins for everyone lol. I've never been the type to push others down on my way to the top. That's just one of the many ways to end up living a miserable life IMO.

I wish you and everyone else the best of luck.   

Sorry, but that does sound ridiculous.... However, I'm pretty sure it wasn't all that long ago that I was poo-pooing the idea of bitcoins @ $1000. Makes me wish I gobbled them up when they were a nickel, lol.

That's just it. My system is stable the entire time cgminer is actually running. It's just when I close it that my pc crashes. Also, the cards are running @ stock speeds, processor and memory. I am pushing them pretty hard though I guess. They aren't getting all that hot, at least not as hot as some posts I read suggest is safe. I'm in the 74-80c range or so. It helps it's so stinking cold out.

Hey all 

So I've decided I'm going to throw my hat into the ring as it were and invest in some mining equipment. If only I had done it sooner, well, I'm sure most of us are in that boat. Picked up 3x Sapphire r9 290's and the other necessary items and am building my own setup using plastic bins. Sadly, that venture has been more work than I had assumed. Still waiting for my risers so only have 2 of the cards running right now. After some missteps, I finally got cgminer running at approx. 750khz/per card with next to no optimization. Going to wait to get all 3 running before really locking down and getting best possible speeds. Hope I can also remedy my issue of system crashes upon closing cgminer. Any tips?

Anyway, I'm running on [Suspicious link removed] right now and the stratum is down or whatever. I've been lurking, never had an account, and found I can't just up and reply in the topic. That brings me here, trying to get posting rights as it were.

Wish me luck 

Cheers
