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

[stacksmasher]

Anyone?  Can you tell me what the advantages are pooling with Slush compared with someone like Bitminter?   These two seem to be the leaders.

Not sure what you mean by leaders.  Neither of them are even in the Top 3 by hashrate/users.  They're both good pools, just really curious what you actually mean with "leaders".

I had a list bookmarked a while ago....

I have only tried two pools. Slush's and BTCGuild. I only tried BTCGuild for about 24 hours and while they both have different "earning" systems, I make much more at slush's pool even though blocks are found much, much less often.  I am a noob so don't quote me on anything, it is just my personal experience. I think the massive amount of hashing power left me in the back at BTC Guild. I am sure someone on here could give a much better referral to either pool.

Edit to add: The interface over at BTC Guild is pretty damn nice.

For the last month BTC Guild has paid out *significantly* more than Slush (~6% better luck, not counting bonus NMC income).  24-hours is not even remotely long enough to compare earnings between pools due to variance.  BTC Guild by default will beat slush on even luck (NMC + paid orphans is worth more than a 1% fee difference).

Only thing bad for me about Slush's pool is the payouts... sigh...

Does it take more than 10 shifts to get your max earnings? I was at first concerned. I only earned only a fraction during my trial run is why I ask. Also, if you don't mind me asking, don't you have right at 50% of the total mining power atm? Or is that just some smoke post that I read, I know everything you read isn't fact. Like I said I am still new, but shouldn't hashpower be somewhat evenly divided? I haven't really read in to it to much. What do you think a fair run trying your pool out would be? My hardware is only getting older by the second so I wasn't to keen on a whole lot of trial and error. That's why I stated how much time I did put in, just what I had experienced. I know I am kind of running off on to something else, sorry about that.

Responding in PM just to get it out of slush's thread.

EDIT:  Will answer the first one publicly.  BTC Guild has -never- had 50% of the HASHRATE.  When it was at ~42% at it's peak (April 2013), it would have lucky days where it solved over 50% of blocks.  That is not the same as 51% *hash rate* which is the point where you're guaranteed to be able to control the blockchain if you wish to do evil.

However, BTC Guild is currently only 25-28% of the network hash rate.

Fair enough.

Please pay me Slush. I'm well over my threshold now.

Thanks,

Thanks,

They seem to be working now, my payment got sent about 6 hours ago but maybe theres a slight bag log if its not showing up yet.

Doesn't appear to have left the pool yet and no email, so I guess I'll keep on waiting.

FFS, calm down. Your coin isn't lost. Once it hits your wallet what are you going to do with it?

Sell it for a grand? Why, you think it'll go higher? 2 grand, three?

Honestly I don't think it is going anywhere if people are looking for a cash cow. Instead of thinking about USD, demand it for a currency locally. BTC is a market. In the end if no one accepts it as a currency it is worthless. Where can you spend that coin in your area?

Hi, any one received any payment on the last 24h? I'm over 300% my threshold... and nothing.

Others have, I haven't. I guess we just have to wait it out?

My threshold is set to 0.1 and I received a payment this morning at 01h47 GMT - a few hours and two or three extra rounds after the threshold was crossed.

I wonder - is your threshold still set below what appears to be the new minimum of 0.05?  If so, perhaps it is being treated as zero and ignored.

[Matumaru]

OOOOOOOPPPPSSSSSS

Sorry, totally wrong and maybe it helps to other people. I was looking to TOTAL REWARD, instead of CONFIRMED REWARDS.

Total Rewards are overpassing but the confirmed are still under.

[Sir Alan]

Total Rewards are overpassing but the confirmed are still under.

Yup, that would do it.

In line 20955, block number 271612 I have a zero payout, but I also obviously mined the block before for over 6 hours, that one for over 4 hours, and the one thereafter for 2 hours.

Why is this block paid at zero? I emailed info@bitcoin.cz already 2 days ago. Ive had no response.

This concerns me because I'm  providing shares to the pool and someone somehow is getting a payout for this block, I checked it on block chain, it was certainly mined by slushes pool.

What am I missing here?

As it is possible to see by amount of your shares in that round, which is lower as your total for 2 hour round, your miner was not submitting, and as the reward is zero, and by the amount of submitted shares, I will say that it was not working on that round from the 1 and half hour after the start to the finish. It was explained in this forum to people x times before.
