Thanks to d57heinz

Here is a chart  From this link. Last 30 days of mining.

https://poolprofit.io/en/

It shows  the top 12 pools

SlushPool  pays  rewards method B------------------14.61144 coins
GBMiners   pays Partial  rewards method C----------14.51882 coins

ViaBTC      pays reward method B PPLNS ------------14.41793 coins
ViaBTC      pays partial rewards Method C PPS+ -----------14.16793 coins

on the  darker side

Antpool  PPS+  pays Partial reward method C -----------------  14.369 grabbing  0.541 coins a block
Antpool  PPS    pays  Partial reward method C -----------------13.125  grabbing  1.79 coins a block
Antpool  PPLNS pays  Score reward method A ------------------ 12.50 grabbing   2.41  coins a block
Antpool Solo   pays Score reward Method A --------------------- 12.375 grabbing   2.54 coins a block

Why on earth would anyone in the world  mine  antpool solo instead of ck pool solo?

last I looked ck would take under  .3 btc  on a solo hit while antpool takes 2.54 btc.

yeah I am looking for a better list then that.

I checked it out and one thing it does show  is that Antpool  is grabbing an average of 2.2 extra coins from the miners. for every block they made in the month of December.    I know miners worry about variance.

But if you have 10 s-9s.

Five at your pool  kano.is  and five at  viabtc.com doing pps+   the variance factor  becomes a non-issue.  Plus the ability for fee manipulation gets greatly reduced.

I have proven that fee manipulation  by the top pools that are not paying tx fees  would make a profit  if they choose to do it.

I am researching evidence that  the top pools are doing  fee manipulation.
I have a project that will be able to show an example of fee manipulation occurring in about a dozen days. Frankly I want to prove myself wrong as it would really dishearten me  to find out that  it is being systematically done by any major pools.

I am looking at these transactions

There is a pattern  with the tx fees.

These cover  Oct 30  2017 to Nov 28  2017

I will try to understand it better.  I do have more info up to  Dec 27 2017.  I will list it later.

Here is my issue with the transactions above.

read the post above  the fees here for a 1335 byte transaction that creates 30 to 50 227 byte sized transaction
most of those 1335 byte transaction were white listed at 0.0001 btc

yet a normal 1000 byte transaction cost 0.004 to 0.009 if you

Study these charts below

So I pay 0.0001 for a 1335 byte transaction

while the average  pay 0.0052 btc to 0.0117 for a 1335 transaction

under 8 sats a byte vs 400 sats a byte

the transactions above   were 1 per day small scale I found them because I was one of the payee's on each one.

By itself that  is not so bad for the payee to do this with a side deal from a pool.

If the pool  returns the vast majority of the tx fees to the miners.

but lets say antpool and btc.com

return  ½ the tx fees not 100%

they mine 40% of all coins between them so ½ fee payback = 20% of all fees they keep.

so the transactions I show

0.0001 for 1335 bytes makes  about fortyfour  227 sized tx later or  10000 bytes later on

and at .004 for 1000 it is 0.04 in fees later and as high as 0.09 in fees on one of the higher days.


at best antpool+btc.com keeps 20% of all network fees each day   so 20% of 0.04 = 0.008

so for each 0.0001 spent they get 0.0080   an 80 fold increase for them


worse case was 0.09 x say 25% = 0.0225 for spending 0.0001  or a 225 to 1 increase.

this is not good as it can make it next to impossible to move coins

TBH I caught yobit skimming during the full-block days.


See;  When the blocks were full several months ago, They released a a statement that they would be increasing their withdraw fee to make for faster transaction times.   Totally fine with that.  They even announced it in their twitter.

Next, TX fees were lowering;  the network was less congested ~.5-1 month after the BTC/BCC fork. (or was it the BTC/BTG fork??)

I noticed when I did a withdraw from yobit;  the fees for withdraw were still over 0.0025mbtc.   When I checked the Tx for my incoming payment from them;  I noticed total TX fees were 0.0009xx.  Totally not what they said.  There were only 2 transfers in that single txid;  and I think one of the two was providing the change back to one of their wallets.

I opened a support ticket;  they said the tx fees were clearly mentioned before and there was "no problem here".

I referenced this tweet in my support ticket: https://twitter.com/yobitexchange/status/872855875299442689?lang=en
also quoting the txid that a WAY different number has been used to "speed up confirmation" which was lightyears less than what they took out to do the withdraw (they took over 0.0025)
Here's the Tx from them: https://blockchain.info/tx/76de2aa961a5a2edfcf9c81179b025ecac6195b443315b53458808294c289573


So...  they ended up silently changing their withdraw fee.  My response proving their support ticket lie;  is still un-answered.... which is.....


See;  Everyone is always tempted to steal or take a cut wherever they can.

The US government is a prime example of this standard disheartening activity.



I really highly suggest that people blow this up.... I mean, as far out as possible.    If we can stomp down the fatties;  they will feel the pains of their dishonest behavior.

Not telling the truth is dishonest.
Withholding vital pertinent information is dishonest.

We should do what we can to squeeze out as much of this in our community as possible.

There's also a 2nd very obvious possibility about what's going on:

Since fees are so high that you can only really spend thousands of dollars with BTC to get lower fees than using a credit card or paypal,  that means that people will want a way to make small BTC transactions (hundreds of dollars or less)

If Core keeps the block size at 1M and SegWit isn't a block size solution (as was obvious before it was implemented) then anyone who wants people to use off chain transactions will be happy with the current BTC problem (that of course still hasn't been solved by SegWit)

That would mean payment channels and side chains ... hmm I wonder who wants to make people use that ...

@ kano  my personal solution is two fold  

1) mine at a full fee payment pool  with some hash and mine at a 50% fee payment pool with the rest.

Not perfect only okay

28 th on a partial pool

17 th on a full pay tx pool

So I get about  75%  of fees paid back .

2) mine gpus  and alt coins

I have  about  20k worth of  s-9s
I have  about  50k worth of  1080tis

I try using ltc to move funds around as it cost less.

I figure  a simple move to 8 million  size for transactions ends the fee problem  for a few years.
I know 32 million is max we can go to.

Which  should cover issue for a decade.
My hope is a strong attempt to boost fees using the method about does not happen.

1000 sats for a 227 size tx is 0.00227000 btc about  30 usd  this could be the new norm  for moving coins.

I have just seen this - it's a shame that nobody has replied. I'm also new to mining and just wondered which pool you picked and why?

Further, if anyone else is able to offer some advice that would be great Smiley

This is not happening any more.
It has become out of date.

Oversized tx fees are not happening as they were when this was written.

The conditions are changed. oversized manipulated tx fees are not happening at this time.

I have unlocked this as we are now experiencing high fees again.

Last 2 weeks 1 btc per block has been common.

Is this means you need to go for pools giving you at least some of that 1 btc.


https://www.blockchain.com/explorer?utm_campaign=dcomnav_explorer

some blocks below made this sunday the 2nd of august.

641927  0.537 in btc
641926  0.442
641925  0.728
641924  1.593
641923  0.617
641922  0.494
641921  0.297
641920  1.265


as you can see some fees are well over 1 btc smallest was .297 btc.

VIABTC.com is a pps+ pool they pay part of the fees

they are at 111% payout average right now due to high fees

https://www.viabtc.com/pool/state


solo.ckpool  pays almost all the tc fees to you
mmpool.org  will give the block winner the entire tx a huge bonus.
kano.is gives out the fees to the miners.


whenever we get to tx fees at 10% +  look for pools giving this out to you.

as to how long these .5btc to 2.0 btc  tx fees will last this time i don't know but pick pools that will share it to you.



I was asked if this applies to other coins.
It does but in each case you need to see how high that coin is charging for fees.

BTC = 112.06% at viabtc
LTC =.  96.16% at viabtc

viabtc starts at 96% many pps+ pools start at that point.

You can see just how high the btc fees are compared to ltc.
