Help with login...
I used the wrong google account to login, it sais im a new uset, but I cant find any way to logout so it will re-prompt for my correct account.
Every time I hit the login button, it takes me to the new user page. I need to find some way to get it to prompt me again for my account so I Can enter the correct one.
Help?

You're either logging in with the wrong Google account or you didn't log in for several years and missed Google's transition from OpenID 2.0 to OpenID Connect.

Please use the contact form on the website to ask for help with this and we'll figure it out.

As I mentioned in the original post, I used the wrong account. However, I can't figure out how to "reset" the login to use a different account.
There is no "logout" button, and every time I use the "login" button it assumes im using the "current account" rather than prompting me for a different account.
Thus, im stuck, unable to switch accounts.

Google is "helping" you. Go to google.com and log out from there, then go back to bitminter.com and try again. This time Google will ask you which Google account to use, because you logged out of Google.

Excellent, that worked. Thanks

BCH (bitcoin cash) has been credited to accounts equal to their balance of BTC at the time of the fork (2017.08.01)

You can cash out your BCH using "my account" -> "send coins" in the website menu. First click "BCH" on that page. You will need to use a CashAddr style address. If your BCH wallet does not support CashAddr then you can use the address converter at https://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org/ - but note: DO NOT put a bitcoin address into this calculator. It is for BCH addresses from BCH wallets that do not support the new CashAddr addresses yet.

What is bitcoin cash?

Bitcoin cash (BCH) is a fork of Bitcoin (BTC). You can read more about it at https://bitcoincash.org/
It shares a transaction history with bitcoin up to the time of the fork. If a wallet had a bitcoin balance at the time of the fork then it is possible to unlock the same amount on the bitcoin cash blockchain. For every BTC prior to the fork there now exists a BCH.

Does this mean Bitminter will support all other forks?

No. Cash out your BTC to a wallet where you control the private keys, then you can take part in the forks you want. Always cash out. Take control of your coins.

Are we mining BCH now?

No. We are currently only mining BTC, plus NMC through merged mining with BTC.

It says my address is not a valid BCH address?

If you are trying to send BCH to a BTC wallet, stop immediately and get a BCH wallet you can send the coins to.

If you are using a BCH wallet that only supports legacy addresses, use the converter at https://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org/ to get a CashAddr type address.

If you are using a multi-currency wallet or online service that supports multiple currencies, make sure you are sending to a BCH address. Use the converter if necessary, but double check that you have picked a BCH address, not a BTC address.

Why did you convert the btc to bch it doent make sense? I would perfer my coins be BTC.

[TheQuin]

Why did you convert the btc to bch it doent make sense? I would perfer my coins be BTC.

He didn't, there was a fork. That means a separate blockchain was created at a certain point in time that was exactly the same as the Bitcoin blockchain. So anyone who had Bitcoins at that time also had an equal amount of Bcash. Dr. H is simply making that Bcash available for you to withdraw. To convert it you need to withdraw it to an exchange and sell it for Bitcoin.

[DrHaribo]

Yes, there was just some BCH added to your account - nothing removed. As usual you can see all changes on your account under "my account" -> "transaction history" in the website menu.

Thanks I got a bit of bch.

to all  miners here

The Doc and I are working on something today maybe it will be setup by days end.

[Mikestang]

Ooo I like surprises.

[philipma1957]

Ooo I like surprises.

on the big stats page.

I am number 38  at 16th.

I am not using an avalon 841
I am not using an antminer s-9

which leaves ?

It appears  to be doing its thing correctly.

 I will leave it for a while.

I won't make any announcements as to which miner it is.

I Leave it up to the DOC.

Bitminter now has version-rolling ASICBoost support on all mining servers.

This means your DragonMint miners, and other future ASICBoost miners, will run full speed on Bitminter.

A big thanks to philipma1957 for helping with testing - it is much appreciated!

I believe we are the fourth pool to add this. It is still not supported by most pools.

I have kept 1 Dragonmint T1 pointed here.

I have a question why is the current shift over 5 days long?

[TheYankeesWin!]

Hey Phil thanks for pointing a T1 here.

[philipma1957]

@ yankees you are welcome


@ doc  H.

every round prior to the current round is 1 to 3 days

[TheQuin]

I think the hash rate varies a lot due to people hiring rentals which affects the shift length.

[philipma1957]

okay so we have been at 2000-3000 and that  is why we are slow correct?

[TheQuin]

Yeah, on the Stats > Shifts page it shows average hash for the completed shifts. All higher than the current 2700.

[DrHaribo]

Yeah, hashrate is going up and down, so the time to finish a shift is varying. The size of the shift is based on an amount of work (10% of difficulty currently) and not time.

YAY!! Got my second GekkoScience 2PAC USB miner and now I finally made the list of "Fastest Users" at 332 place Now mining at 33 G/Hs combined with the two GekkoScience and one U2 Antminer. Love the Bitminter Website!

Question: When I get enough ALTCOINS to transfer to myself. What Wallet do I send them to??  Thank You and Happy Mining! 

[DrHaribo]

There is a namecoin wallet at https://namecoin.org/download/
You can also send namecoins directly to an exchange to sell them.

There are some web wallets for namecoin that are scams. So be careful.
If anyone knows a good namecoin wallet other than namecoin core, feel free to chime in.
