Please take your time to read up on how mining and pools actually work.

There are many threads on this forum section that detail how it works.

Bare in mind that this pool is still small. Which means that you will not get or see a balance instantly.

The website is being actively worked on - if you got any suggestions that has NOT been mentioned in the thread - make a new reply, mail info@bitcoins.lc or come in to #bitcoins.lc at Quakenet on IRC.

Why are you even basing your calculations on your supposed hashrate? It's all about the shares of work contributed.

If you're uncertain that the calculations are correct - I'm fully confident jine will take a look and fetch information on how many shares you contributed and show you the calculation.

There will be better clarity as soon as the new miner overview is done, which will show you how many shares you've contributed and all other kinds of statistics.

Im basing it on every other pool ive mined on, what my hashrate has been for well over a month now and what my client is reporting - Also the amount of shares i have contributed at the time we found the second block....and also the stats on the site itself - enough for you?

Even if my calculations are rounded heavily down, i recieved 0.2btc instead of over 2BTC...

Could you name a single pool which calculate per hash rate?

As far as I've seen, most pools use the amount of shares one has submitted divided by the total amount of shares needed to solve the block.

Your calculation, based on what you've written here - seems totally off.

Website back up and first payout received!

Second block done soon @ 16GHash/s Cheesy

In fact, scratch what i just said, something fishy is going on - Second block was found when we had 16GH/s - im running 810mh/s

16000 / 810 = 19.75

50BTC / 19.75 = 2.53BTC

Have i got my calculations wrong? how come i got paid 0.2 odd BTC for it? Have you actaully paid all the people that have joined AFTER we completed the second block? - I smy suspicion correct that you dont actually know whos contributed what over a time period? hence why there is no estimated bounty etc

Do not forget that it will take years, to mint all of the 21 million full coins.

The idea is that the transaction fees is to be an incentive to keep working for the Bitcoin network, when the 'kick start incentive' is gone.

I'm number 57 out of 295 users as far as shares submitted (1958 shares submitted) and it still shows 0.00000000 BTC

I'm hoping that as more blocks are solved it will show something, but to ease the minds of your workers you should really show "Estimated BTC Earned This Round" so people don't keep staring at 0 BTC for hours and hours

'Estimated balance based on your amount of shares on the current block that we're working on' has been suggested earlier, and might pop up. It's on the projects todo list. You have to understand that there are a lot of things being worked on.

I do not personally like this, since it brings false hopes. And just watching this thread, there's very few who actually understand or have a few clues on how things work. Maybe it'll ease their minds, maybe it'll piss them off seeing the estimation go away without the balance updating.

You are correct in that it takes a while before you'll see your balance update. The pool must first solve a block, then wait for it to actually bring in spendable cash.

This is currently a small pool - which means there's no margins or buffers. I would guess the larger pools have buffers, so that they can have an even more "realtime" instant payout.

Hello, I have been mining for ~12 hours now, and nothing is in my account balance.
This may be because I did not have a wallet address in my account when the block was finished, I was just able to put one in this morning.
Is this some sort of a problem with the block not being confirmed, or were my coins lost in the system?

Thanks!

Your account balance on Bitcoins.lc will update when:
  • The pool has solved a block, where you have contributed shares/work.
  • The solved block is confirmed by the Bitcoin Network and is available for payout.

In other words; you will need to try things out longer and be patient - if you want to receive a payout.

There is no 'estimated balance' based on how many shares you currently have submitted on the current block the pool is working on. It's been suggested as a feature though - since a lot of people don't seem to understand how things work.
