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

I am at exactly the same situation with 2 machines. As far as the daily reward is concerned, your is decreasing (as well as mine and all others') because on the 25th of Jan, mining difficulty jumped from 2.25 to 2.6 something. It happens every two weeks, so rewards will tend to decrease...

For the other questions, it will be interesting to hear the guys opinions.

I'm new to slushpool.  If I withdraw a balance higher than .01 btc, there is no fee correct?  How long will it take to arrive in my wallet at bittrex?

Correct, there are only two types of fees that are incorporated in slush payment system. The first one is stable (pool fee 2% per block) and is used to cover the pool expenses. The second one is introduced only if you set your payout threshold below 0.01 BTC and it equals 0.0001 BTC.
Transaction fees for threshold equal to or higher than the limit value are covered by the pool.

How long, it might take more than a few hours depending on the cold and hot wallet movements in slush.

Apologies, I'd like some help with my question.

Whats the benefit of changing the default diff set to 128 on slushpool higher or lower?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this help article:
https://slushpool.com/help/first-aid/troubleshooting

Also if your machines show near the hardware specs hash power and there is no big fluctuation in it, I wouldn't play with the difficulty setting. Let us know.

Upping the diff mattered more back when you had GPU & USB miners in the same pool with bigger miners. The lower miners could shoot for lower diff and at least complete some shares before the next block so they get some kind of payment.   If a weak miner tries to do a huge diff and takes the whole time doing one share and never completes they don't get anything

And on the other side, huge miner farms don't want to have tons of small network traffic doing tiny diff so pools weigh the diff of the share as part of the payout system.. higher diff and less shares can pay more than many shares of lower diff

I have 4 BFL Monarch miners (750Gh).  Two of them are performing @ 95% (hashrate/poolrate) and the other two have problems. One is @ 360Gh (94%) (hashrate/poolrate), and the other is pushing 950Gh, but on slushpool, it's only showing 315Gh (32%).  It does not matter which computer I'm using the cgminer software.

'puter: Win 7 Desktop & Win8.3 laptop
software: CGMiner 4.10.0
Pool: SlushPool

How do I go about diagnosing the problem?

TIA

Seems one is running on less chips since some might be dead and the other seems faulty and throwing errors like crazy since you may see high hashing but the pool tells the tale that most of it is bull

Agreed (possible dead chips).

I don't see generated errors on the miner pushing 900Gh (32% return on slush).

What next?

Correction .... there are errors, but they come in 'clumps'.  I would expect more for a 600Gh difference, but it's not there. Does CGMiner generate a .log file?

Silly questions from a newbie miner.

I just started mining a few weeks ago with two S9’s. The pool luck seemed to be great when I started but now like you said has been shit for four days. Is this normal?

Looks like it matured.  Probably website error.

Nope, still at kano.  Pretty easy to log into an account and check things out.

.0014 daily for a single S9 from BTC.com

How's yours at Slush at this luck? Had to leave Kano, I need to make quick BTC so I can get some altcoins at their dip

How's yours at Slush at this luck? Had to leave Kano, I need to make quick BTC so I can get some altcoins at their dip

0.000116882 average per terahash in the past two weeks.

But past five days has been horrible, 0.0000747 per terahash

Jeez, that's horrible. Somebody needs to drop a bomb on Bitmain manufacturing center anyways, no wonder why BTC.com is getting so much power these days. They reward the TX fees like Slush, unlike Antpoo. Man, next diff is gonna jump another 11% and our rewards are gonna be even lower. Damn.
