Hey all. Just joined Slush with my 2 new miners yesterday. Question - the 2 workers I made and named show "Off" even though I am mining with them and used them setting up my pool config.
There is a 3rd miner that it looks like Slush made for me, that shows OK and has mining stats next to it but I never used it in setting up my miners. What did I do wrong? I appear to be hashing fine and with both miners, so maybe nothing to worry about?

Slush (and most other pools) will auto create your workers based on what you enter into the "Worker" field on the Miner Config of your hardware.   (e.g., AcccountName.Worker)

Does your hash rate of the 3rd miner equal the combined rate of your miners?   Sounds like you might not have entered the .WorkerName differently on each miner?

It does equal my total hash rate yes. I used a 1 and 2 after my worker names when setting up the miners. Actually even copy and pasted the worker names from the add worker screen in slush right over to the antminer miner config page.

badaspsvt1.creanis1
badaspsvt1.creanis2

are the 2 workers I used

but Miner1 is what slush self added

Guys, a question, me and some associates of mine just joined slush pool with a bunch of S9's.

We noticed that the min threshold for fee-less payout is 0.01 btc so we are thinking of how to optimize cash outs.
I came up to the following scenario, has anyone else done it, I assume all should work like a charm.

1. Set the automatic payout limit to a very high value like 2-3 btc (below is explained why)

2. When we have accumulated enough (for us) rewards (but less than 2-3 btc), each of us will point the payout address to his own wallet i.e. guy A will point to Coinbase - cash out his part, then guy B to Bitfinex and cash out his part, then guy C to Nano S etc.

So basically a few times we'll change the payout address, I guess Slush will allow that.

From the same account?  You have to confirm each payout address change before slush will allow the address change.   Sounds like more hassle then it's worth.

This was exactly my question - is this an email confirmation or? Is there a risk that Slush deny it etc. I just can't think of a more optimal way. If we cash out to 1 address  (no hassle) and then from this address we transfer to our personal ones, we'll have to pay fees too many times.

Thanks,

It is an email confirmation, but I'm betting if you change it too many times within an hour/day, it may get locked.  You could just change it every time you hit a threshold (say .04 or .05), then move it to the next wallet address.

That's the only way.
Once you set your limit lower than the amount you have, slush will transfer all the funds at once

hopefully only a small bit of education.

Jumped in a couple of days ago with 20THs.  Scored on the first block from last night.  Watched it mature, and the payment and reward show on my account.  So when do the actual transfer happen to my wallet?  Just checked and nothing so far?  Is there a built in delay that I failed to read the memo on?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,

you have to get up to .01 before getting paid...(you can get paid on smaller amounts but there's a fee).

ah... perfect... Wasn't sure if there was a min.  and I know that Kano is working on making that selectable... perfect, it was only .001 so it will just have to wait ... thanks  for the reply

You can get paid at .001 but there's a fee.  No reason unless you truly need that .001 that badly.  lol

Does the slushpool support difficulty more than 500,000?

Hello do somebody advice me should I change dwarf pool to Slush Pool? Which will better?

Hello do somebody advice me should I change dwarf pool to Slush Pool? Which will better?

That depends on what you are mining. Slush pool only mines BTC, and ZEC. So if you are mining other coins than those 2 there is no reason to switch over.

I currently only mine BTC, so I can't speak to the ZEC side of things. You might get better responses in the alt coin section as to what pools people are preferring to mine with.

hello,

Could someone confirm that the actual 13btc block rewards each 2 or 3 hours can be considered as the usual average (slushpool) rate   ?

Because I only started mining around few weeks ago December the third with a s9, and untill few days it was still 17btc( I don't get the raisons of the sizes of the block but will try to find it by my self )  but above all blocks were found more often ! Difficulties and block size are linked?


thank you.

thank you.

The size of the block is determined by the number of transaction included and the fees paid by users sending BTC. An empty block currently has 12.5 BTC in it. Anything over the 12.5 is made up of the transaction fees of the BTC transactions that are processed within that block.

Not the best explanation but hopefully helps a little.

hello, just want ask i have 1 s9 mine at slush pool the estimated reward daily is 0.00057093 , around 13.66Th/s.

another 1 s9 at nicehash everyday can get around usd20 ,seem like slush pool much lower reward then nicehash??

anyone can give advise?

hi,

my daily reward is right now more around 0.001583xx since few days ( sometime less, sometime up to 0.002xxxxx with a peak at 0.003 past weeks) with 1 s9. ( on slush)

Nice - 3 blocks in 6 minutes!

Nice - 3 blocks in 6 minutes!

Our luck has been great the past 2 days, although the block value has been lower than a week ago where we were constantly getting the 16, 17, and a few 18 valued blocks.  It does seem to average out in the long run.  I have only been mining for a week and a half now with 2 antminer s9's and I have 2 more on the way.  Right now, my daily average keeps going down, but is hovering around .0029 bitcoins a day.  Does that sound about right with you all with my 27 th's hashing power?

Also, a couple of config questions.  I changed my minimum difficulty from the default of 128 to 4096.  Should I go lower or higher or does it not really even matter?  Would this affect my pay rewards?

Also,  does the preferred blockchain voting affect anything...right now I have "current rules, bitcoin core" because honestly I am not sure what it means as far as, well, anything.  What should I have this set to maximize rewards?

Thanks,
Rick
