1  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: BITMAIN announces Antpool on: January 07, 2016, 02:23:34 PM
Thank you very much, I think I will be switching my pool today.

I understand Antpool payout calculations, it just didn't make sense how my 24 hour average could be almost 20% more than what my payout actually was. Very Strange.

I agree the support seems poor, I had an issue with one of my miners as soon as I received it and they still haven't answered, thankfully for this forum I was able to resolve my issues. Yet when you pay them thousands of dollars they have no problem emailing you back to recover $40 in wire transfer fees...


I have been mining on Antpool for about two weeks now. I was using the PPS payout method but I recently switched to PPLNS. For the past 2 days my 24 hour earning average was about .07 -.08 however when I received the daily payout they were only around .045 - .05.  Can someone explain to me if this right? How exactly are these payout calculated?

Thank You!
from antpool site:

Payment Method Fee Description
PPLNS 0% Assign to you alter AntPool found a new block and the new block confirmations more than 3 (Transaction fees not paid out to miners for maintaining cost and the bonus for our engineers)
Earnings = 25 BTC * Your share count in 2.5 difficulty cycle / Total share count in 2.5 difficulty cycle

Antpool luck is below 100% lately so I'm guessing there wasn't many blocks found while you were on PPLNS.

I am assuming your new to Bitcoin just from your profile, you wont get much help at all from Antpool and you probably will have a lot of questions. I would suggest joining a strong supported pool like Kano.is or some other pool with active support in the forums. They will help no end with the questions you will have and the community will help too. I know I mention Kano.is a lot but this is because this is the one I am familiar with and have a great set of people helping out and tools like hash/block monitors, Android App and IOS app in the making (community developed tools) etc...

Good luck and happy mining.

I finally got my new 220v outlets installed to start up my S7s today. One of them I got on and configured no problem. The other S7 doesnt turn on at all, no lights, nothing. The power supply sound goes on. I am using the power supplies BITMAIN sells. What are the troubleshooting steps? What are the possibilities that could be wrong?

Whats should the frequency be set for the one that is running, its on the default of 700. Also about how long does it take to get up full speed?

Many Thanks!

so lets go slow.

did you turn the psu on and plug in hot pcie cables?

or did you plug in all the pcie cables and then turn the psu on?


if you plugged in all the pcie cables with the psu turned off then power the psu on that was correct.

if you had the psu on and plugged in hot pcie cables that was bad and you may have killed the controller.

Everything was plugged into prior to powering the S7. I wanted to let the other one run for bit before swapping the power supplies as a test. Is there a right way to power the other one down before swapping power supplies

Also on a side note can someone tell me what the monthly power bill for one of these S7s is?
