[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[Devonian]

Been mining here since March and today I finally found a block for the first time, not that it means anything but at least I don't feel skunked now.

Excellent.  Well done.  I wish my miner could find one - it would certainly cheer me up!

Anyhooooo - if all us pool miners set our payout trigger to the minimum will that increase the number of Bitcoin transactions, and therefore increase the number of blocks being processed and therefore ultimately increase the reward we get for mining!!!!!!!

No...it doesn't work like that.  The number of blocks being produced is completely independent of the number of transactions on the network.

Well, at least about 30 PH has left the mining pools since last I checked, from 190 down to 160 +/-.
So block time is back up from 7.5 to 8.7 minutes. That may help make the next LOD easier to survive.

The days when people only had 10 MH/s.

For everybody, just found a new block.

[bernard75]

Sorry for the size, just so exited atm.

It wouldn't increase the number of blocks being processed, but more transactions per block could increase the fees per block, ultimately increasing your share of each block by a small amount.  Fees per block are minimal right now that it wouldn't make a huge difference.

Should probably update the OP

Bitcoins are ordinarily only ever created in chunks of 50 at a time, with the whole 50 paid to a single person. Furthermore, the race to get the 50 BTC prize in a given block is highly competitive.
