1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Can you add a transaction fee after a transaction is sent? on: December 23, 2013, 12:11:44 AM
Sent six transactions to BTER, but only three arrived.  After doing some research I realized my wallet transaction fee option was set to zero.  The BTER site recommends adding a transaction fee if you mined the coins in order to assure they arrive in a timely fashion.  After setting the transaction fee to the recommended amount, I have made another five or six deposits and have not had any further trouble.

This happened about two weeks ago and my three missing deposits never arrived at BTER.  Initially the BTER site had these deposits shown as "Pending" for about a day, but since then the deposit records and "Pending" labels disappeared.  In fact nothing at all is shown about these three missing deposits. It's like all records of them have vanished.  I have sent all the info (e.g., date, time, transaction id, confirms, ...) to BTER support/admin several times to see if they could help, but have not received any response from BTER at all.

Question: Is there anyway to attach a transaction fee "post transaction" to help it move along?   Huh
2  Other / Beginners & Help / Adventures in solo mining YACOIN--beginner's luck on: June 08, 2013, 10:31:08 PM
Since starting crypto mining for BTC and LTC a few months ago in mining pools on a very humble system, I came to the realization that I will never find a block myself. I punched in the numbers on one website and it showed that at my hashrate it will take over 14.5 years to expect to find a BTC block (and that was before the last difficulty increase). That was disheartening--I wanted to find a block myself just to say I did.  Then I ran some calculation myself for YACOIN and on my system, which has a pretty good CPU (just not much of a GPU), my expected time to find a yacoin block was just about a day.  So, just for fun, I set up my computer to solo mine yacoin one evening and then went to bed.  I got up the next day and went to work without checking my luck, but upon returning home from work that afternoon I had three blocks (about 78 yacoins) waiting for confirmation.  Wow, this is great, 3 blocks in about 18 hours, much better than I ever did in a pool.

So I left my computer mining solo and even set up a second computer to mine solo.  That was three days ago.  Guess how many blocks I've found since?  None--nada--nill.  Guess it was just beginners luck.  I'll probably be going back to the pool soon.   Undecided
