[CLOSED] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers

[mdude77]

So I set my NMC auto payout to 0.01 because I have no clue how much I have... but apparently BTCGuild has been paying me 0.01 every hour for the last 177 hours. I don't see ANYWHERE how much my full balance is and I'd like to withdraw it. Could someone help?

My username is the same there as here.

On the settings tab, dashboard top right, enable "show namecoin summary".

It'll then show up on the dashboard.

I wish auto payouts here paid everything in your account when it reached the threshold, instead of just the threshold amount. 

Eleuthria: any chance you could show the NMC by default?  This question comes up regularly.  It'd also be handy if the auto payout was everything in your account, instead of the threshold amount.  The way it is it's very hard to empty your wallet.

Manual payouts (full payout) will probably be added to NMC next week, so you can do a full cashout.

The reason auto payouts pay the amount you set are to keep your wallet clean of useless amounts (0.000xxxxx).  The logic being auto payouts are for if you plan to continue mining, so getting regular payouts it doesn't matter if the small bits are paid or not, and it just makes the wallet cleaner (less fragmentation/fees in the long run too).  Manual payouts were full balance, so if you were going to quit the pool, you just do that and the whole balance is zero'd.

That makes sense for large miners.  Since the definition of large miners keeps changing (and I seem to be perpetually a small miner) that last little bit means a lot to me.

I like this feature so bah humbug to the spamming git who sent me 0.0000001 and messed it up

well intentioned, but in over your head

do more research before embarrassing yourself

I saw this was already answered, but I'll add another $.02 worth...

Difficulty is worker based, not user based.  Also, while additional workers don't consume much bandwidth, they do consume something.  If you have bandwidth limitations, you may notice a difference by figuring out how to get them all on the same worker.  That's what I noticed with 3 rigs, each with one or more worker.  I noticed a difference in internet response time by pointing my rigs to one local proxy and having that proxy feed all the data to the pool under one worker.

Of course if you don't have bandwidth limitations, ignore this.

M

You should be able to point more than one machine at the same worker without having to go through a proxy, unless you are using blades, then you need a proxy regardless.

Hmm.  I thought I heard that a bad idea.  Maybe it was pre-stratum?

M

If the objective is to minimize bandwidth usage, running a local proxy will help achieving that goal, whereas having all of your miners polling separately will not, even if they're all on the same worker account.

I'm not sure that this is true, because the difficulty will be set for the sum of the machines. So the traffic will be less.

C-  Must try harder!

On the workers page there is a setting to set min difficulty. I have a rig that hashes approx 560Gh/sec, which number is best to set this at?

Also, can anyone recommend a site (I'm in the US) that I can send my NMC to and trade for BTC?
Thanks

I use BTC-e.com to turn NMC coin into BTC then transfer the result to my wallet. you can make the exchange address for your account the one BTCguild sends to.

I use Vircurex.  Referral link if you're interested:

As the other reply stated, no need to send the coin to your wallet and then to the exchange, just set your exchange wallet to the payout from the pool.

Any idea why my Antminer s1 would report correctly at 200ghz on slushs pool but bit guild is reporting it at 90ghz after a few hours?

Local issue, or you're screwing with your miner settings causing the 1-hour average to be invalid because of downtime.

Eleuthria, I sent you a pm. Can you please reply? Thanks!

[Gyrsur]

my "BTC Farm Watcher" App is working again. thank you eleuthria if you fixed something! 

[eleuthria]

Few small updates today, one will probably eliminate a lot of support emails now that I tracked it down:

1) Namecoin payout history can now be exported to CSV on your settings page.
2) Cookies for BTC Guild now work on the subdomains, eliminating the error some users have had when confirming their wallet/email where they used https://btcguild.com while all the links for confirmations were https://www.btcguild.com

Question for the knowledgeable...

After mining a week on bitparking and only getting .03 for my 2M shares (my dgm estimate was  .08), I collected my thoughts, weeped a little, and moved to btc guild.

I have 4 blades running through slush's proxy, to my one worker. I've noticed I can get a better payout with PPS rather than PPLNS. (I did a 24hr test on each)

Should I have a lower minimum difficulty or keep it at 32. If I'm being paid per share, it seems like I can process a shit load more shares with my diff. at 4 vs 32.

Any thoughts would be awesomely appreciated.

Thank you,
Michael

great! thank you very much!

I think I answered my own question. I changed my diff to 4 and restarted the proxy. BTC Guild automatically adjusted my diff to 16.

I'll let it be and check back tomorrow morning and see if it changed again.
