I am also thinking to leave slushpool for Antpool, after disappointing performance on 12/25 . 10 vs 21 block
Same for today.  
I know Slushpool pay a little bit higher, but if it can't find any block, this really does not matter.  Antpool PPS+'s pay is much better now and I can average .0025 per S9 similar to Slushpool's Score systems, but they have much higher (2x) block count  for 12/25 and 12/27

Hello, there are lots of options better than Antpool. They keep all transaction fees for themselves, and transaction fees are a big deal, and they will only become a bigger deal.  Plus that's Bitmain, and supporting Bitmain is generally a bad idea.

If you can tolerate some variance, you will come out much further ahead on Kano's pool.  Plus you actually get support there.

(and the more people who mine at Kano's pool, the less variance there will be)

M

Yes transactions are a big deal last week pools of 20-25BTC were getting mined and if charges are not passed to miners then its just waste of time as eventually that is what mining will be all about

Antpool's PPS+  (Plus) model actually has the transaction fees built into it. I think most of the people think they only has PPS (which they keep the transaction fee).   I am getting almost the same result from Antpool and Slushpool for S9 (0.0025 per machine).

Hello all.

I have around 8 mBTC mined from some years ago (AMD HD5870) in slushpool, and I would like to send them to my BTC wallet (bitcoin core 0.15.1) and I do not know how to proceed.

I guess I wil have to play around with the payment threshold.

I know that for transactions under 10 mBTC there is an additional fee of 0.1 mBTC, apart from the 2% but I do not care as I do not own any ASIC to continue mining up to 10 mBTC, I just want to send the BTC to my wallet.

If I set the threshold, say, to exactly the amount of mBTC I have (7.94723 mBTC), will I get paid, deductions apart, in the following days? Or should I have to ask for a manual payment or similar?

Thanks in advance.

Here's where I'm sitting and why I backed off from Slush for now... I am currently profit switching with AwesomeMiner between zpool/NiceHash but I may end up coming back soon. I was getting better numbers when I first started but the pool hash rate jumped considerably shrinking my share per block. I was, at one point estimated to get my 0.01 payout every 3 days and 4 hours but when I left it had extended to 4 days. My payout per block started around 0.00018 to 0.00023+ but when I left I was getting 0.00012 to 0.00014.

1-S9
12/18 - 12/26 (I took into account only the blocks where I was over 13 Th/s). There were moments when I left and came back or was ramping up/down but I counted only blocks where I was hashing at full strength.

132 - Blocks I worked on (100%). 2 of these blocks were invalid.
1.521 - Eh/s Average pool hash rate for those 132 blocks
13.45 - Th/s Average for my single S9 for those 132 blocks

0.02119930 - Total Payout
0.00016060 - Per block
690,502 - Total seconds (7 days 23:48:22)

Taking the amount of seconds totaled and the amount earned I have these numbers...

0.03 - per minute
1.55 - per hour
37.14 - per day
259.95 - per week
1,126.47 - per month
13,517.60 - per year

I am well aware that a year from now I will not likely be getting the same numbers as more miners are added and my hashing power counts for less as well as difficulty. I took the time to put it all into a spreadsheet so I thought I would share. I'm still new at this so I watch everything like a hawk which is frustrating AND fun at the same time. I'm sure after I've been at it for a while I will be less shifty based on some bad days here and there or some really good days on a pool I'm not mining without feeling like I need to jump so frequently.

You get ZERO of the fees from antpoo.   Try using that in your database.

Anyone notice that Slushpool's payout is low in the past 4 days?  I am getting 10% to 50% below average?

That's called luck.  And a bigger pool, you now know how many machines China is using to compete with the rest of us.

Yeah. I am  connecting to eastcoast slushpool  . 200+PH/s

Talking about pool luck is like talking about the weather  Just pay no attention to it and get on with your life. In the end come rain or shine bad or good luck you will still make the same amount of BTC

[willtopia]

Thanks,
I just started in the last 2 weeks, and freaked out when almost whole week is  below average. that is 50% of mining time for me.   I hope it will even out soon.

It will that's how probability and averages go. Just before you got on we hit a ridiculous amount of blocks, and had been hovering above average for quite some time.

Now the numbers have done what numbers do, they've averaged out and will continue to do so.

Just sit back enjoy the ride and be glad you get the miners fees.

[cybermods1]

I honestly wish some of these idiots who have zero understanding of luck would just shut the F up... oh noes slush is not getting exactly x amount of blocks per day so im moving because another got more.. good f off then 

[ikovalyov]

I made a little research and found that slushpool doesn't mine segwit blocks. Is it really so? Does anybody know when they will support wegwit if it is?

you cant fix stupid..... i spilt my mining power between slush and antpool myself

but hey i got called stupid for mining in antpool in another board haha

you are stupid for mining on antpool 

[cstreit911]

Is there something going on with the us-east connection?

Twice in the last 24 hours I've noticed my hash-rate went to about 30% of normal throughput and cgminer switched me to an alternate pool address.

My miners haven't hiccuped and show normal hash-rates - but the effective hashrate on the dashboard dropped dramatically.

First occurrence was at 23:15 CST on Jan 3
Second was at 10:40 CST on Jan 4.

They actually pay fees if you use PPS+, but I tried it and made much less than on slush even on a bad day.
