we will look into that.
You can report the bugs also on this website.

Thanks!

you guys always glaze over/skip the question about NMC - care to address? I mean it might be pretty moot seeing as NMC is near worthless now, but it was not worthless last year when payouts suddenly stopped.

The NMC rewards for the previous year will be paid out within a few weeks.
We are very sorry for the delay.

at what value? current market value or are you going to compensate users for the fact that had you paid timely they would have 1000 times more cash then they will now that the value of NMC is basically zero?

NMC will be paid out exactly according to the exchange rate.
There have been several exchanges last year. We will provide more details when we will pay out NMC.

exchange rate as of now? or as of the time the reward was actually earned?  remember it has not been paid out for over a year. and at that time because slush stopped payout right around the time NMC peaked at its all time highest value - coincidence? I think not.

Thinking we're getting fractions of pennies instead of our fractions of quarters.

Thinking we're getting fractions of pennies instead of our fractions of quarters. 

that is my guess as well and one of the main reasons I do not mine on Slush anymore - I get my alt coin payouts steadily on via BTC though - and yes it is pretty much equal to pennies but at least they pay out what they claim they will payout.

Slush has not for a year. If they do now, good - and about damn time.

Pool Luck seems to be very low
Any particular reason or just "bad luck"?

That's the thing with luck... You could increase your chances, but not the results. Ie you may have a 99% chance of winning (buy 99 tickets from a lottery of 100 tickets), and yet you can lose, TWICE  

Throw a coin, should be 50/50 right? actually there is a 2% chance it lands standing. What are the chances of the next throw to make it land standing again? 2%. Very unlikely but possible.

In theory it should approach 100%. Another possible reason for bad luck could be misbehaving mining equipment or rentals, not sure what the exact issue is why some pools do ban some gear.

Hello, I have a question hoping you can answer:

I have 6 Antminer s9 mining on slushpool with an average of 82 Th/s, I have set my "minimum difficulty" to "14848".

Is that the "best" setting? what happens if set the difficult low or very high ?


THANKS

THANKS 

The "best" setting is just to let the pool manage the difficulty, so set it to 128/Auto the pool will then adjust the difficulty depending on the share return rate of the miner in question.

You only need to tweak it if your miners are showing lower hash rates than expected. There is an explanation here: https://slushpool.com/help/first-aid/troubleshooting

Leave it at auto, wait for a day and see what your average hash rate has been for each miner, if its as expected then don't worry. You won't make enough of a difference to waste time over.

Thanks a lot Smiley I have set the min. Diff. to "auto" and the pool changed it to "16384". Hope that I get the best result now.

Any update on the merged mining payout? Also, on the new site I can't even seem to get to the Namecoin rewards to see the infinite number of blocks that are stuck in a processing state. Am I missing something here....other than the merged mining payouts. HAHA

Hi,

we are working on that. We believe the NMC payouts are going to be processed until the end of April/at the beginning of May.

We are once again sorry about the delay.

i also have an issue with the difficulty setting..they say they use vardiff but they do not have that option for me to check it. i need to manually put in a value for minimum difficulty. how the fuck can i choose vardiff? also this is the only one pool that is not nicehash compatible because of this shit. if anyone knows what setting should i use for minimum diff please advise.

Nope, not the only pool.

Mine is also, I block rentals and stop them whenever I find them - rentals are a financial risk to mining, due to the fact they make a financial gain from withholding blocks if they are not detected.

i think i did mine with miners and also with rented hashing power on kano..but that was in the good ol' days. i would surely want to see more blocks from kano and from the pool operator point of view more hashing power more blocks more fees colected..and your 5X block system of reward was good in keeping the mining hoppers away. slush has also a good system against this.
now, back to my issue.... ))
