I have a doubt regarding this pool (I'm pretty new at this). Only payments are received when the block is completely mined? I mean, in Slushpool whenever I get to 0.01btc they send me the payment automatically, here it works the same or how? And sorry for the novice that I am haha.

Hi starscat,

Don't be afraid to ask questions.  Without asking, one can never learn

All pools (excluding true PPS) require miners to find blocks before payments can be made.  Even slush's pool.  The reason you get paid on slush when you reach 0.01BTC is because the pool has found blocks to provide the funds with which you are paid.

Let's give an example that might help clear things up.  In our example, the pool finds a block a day, and your mining gear gets you about 0.001 coins per day.  Let's also assume that the pool's minimum payout is 0.01BTC.  Every day the pool finds a block, and 0.001BTC is marked for you.  10 days later, you've now got 0.01BTC set aside for you.  Since that matches the minimum payout value, the pool creates a transaction and sends that coin to you.

Now, let's take a look at that same example, except this time, the pool only finds a block every 10 days.  On day one, no block found, so there is no coin to mark as yours.  Day 2, same thing.  Repeat until day 10 when the pool finds a block.  In those 10 days, you've been constantly mining.  When that block is found, the pool sees that you've contributed shares equal to 0.001BTC a day, so 0.01BTC is set aside for you.  Oh look, that matches the 0.01BTC payout threshold, so the transaction is created and you receive your coin.

At the end of the 10 days, the exact same amount of coin has been sent to you.

Let's change it once again such that your mining gear would expect to earn you 0.01BTC a day.  In the first scenario, you would receive a payout of 0.01BTC every day for 10 days, resulting in a total of 0.1BTC.  In the second scenario, you would receive a single payout on day 10 of 0.1BTC.  Yup, exactly the same.

Please note, I simplified this and didn't include any network difficulty fluctuations in my examples.

Hope this helps!

Jonny

And for example, is there an average of how often is a block in your mining pool? Or how much is the longest time it took to find a block ?. I only have one Antminer S7, only one.

Good luck root$!  Find that block and the 1BTC bonus is yours

Starscat, the statistics you want are available on the pool's statistics page.  There you can clearly see how long the round is, when the last block found was, how far into the current round we are, and the expected length of the round.

Kind of exciting that we're just 8 days from the expected timeframe.

In other words, you have about 1 year of mining without being able to withdraw?
on the page shows that the last block found was in 2016, or am I wrong?

 I think SegWit activation is making this round longer

smegwit has nothing to do with it, hashrate is the key...

Hey there,

Not going to lie, I have not read all 92 pages.

Just wondering does this pool have a ramp up time? I saw the snipit about 5N, just not sure what that means in the grand scheme of things.

I love the idea behind a 1 BTC bounty. Thinking of tossing a a couple Avalons here for a while or at least having this pool as my backup.

Thanks for keeping a small pool alive and an option.


EDIT: Forgot to mention kudos on the website, I didn't know what to expect but it's very nice, especially for a small pool

[jonnybravo0311]

You read correctly - it's a 5N window.  That means that you get paid for all shares that are within a window of 5 times the network difficulty.

My own Avalons have found a couple blocks - so maybe yours will be lucky as well

[surferdudemi]

Have not read through all 92 pages, but I did do a search and couldn't find anything on the payout fee in this thread or on Google.  One page on the website, about on-demand payout, says there's an 0.001 BTC fee for the payout.  But then the auto-payout field also seems to say there's an 0.001 BTC payout fee for each one.  The little ? icon doesn't do anything, so there doesn't seem to be any more clarification on this.  Slushpool doesn't have any payout fee, though of course they have a 2% take on the mining.  But 0.5% mining fee plus 0.001 equates to more than 2% if the autopayout is set to 0.05 (~$500).  I don't mind waiting for payouts to reduce the total fees to the pool, but at the same time, I don't want to have to wait a month.  I've currently pointed an S9 at your pool, just to try it out and compare to Slushpool.  Can you provide any more info on the payout fee scheme?

Thanks

So I finally connected; realised it was my dumb mistake lol. That's what I get for glossing over the instructions I kept using weblogin for my worker.

I did notice a massive uptick in hashrate lol someone wants that 1 BTC bad.

Looking forward to playing around for a while.

HI newbie here,
Is this pool good for antminer A3 ?

[tubexc]

hint: go to page 1 of this topic

[philipma1957]

can't get nicehash to work on a rental


looks like your  big diff setting  on 3334  is 500k it needs to be 1000k


500,000 + it need to be 1,000,000 +

[nundinal]

Same issue nicehash disconnecting anything over 25 TH

Yeah both bravo and mmpool have the issue.

 I Only use miningrigrentals!
 Nicehash is very complicated in my opinion.

What kind of issue did you have with MRR? I've never hit a block with rentals from Nicehash (I've spent 25+ BTC over the years with them). I've hit several solo blocks using MRR and my last block here was with a rental from MRR. I'm sure it's just luck but I'm still skeptical of them.

[jonnybravo0311]

Hey everyone...

In case you happened to check recently, you'll notice the website is not responding.  This is an issue with the front end server only - the stratum servers are still working and your shares are still being recorded in the database just fine.

I'm investigating the issue with the web server and will provide an update here when I know more.

Edit: and we're back.  Issue at the datacenter that has since been resolved.

[philipma1957]

This below is not fixed.
If you can fix it please do so .

If you can not fix it please let me know.

Nicehash is fucking your pool  and mmpool.org  since no one can rent from them and point to these two pools

You can pm me or reply here.
