What about the giveaway of the 5 Avalon 6 miners ? Is it already finished ? Do you need to be a miner to be eligible to win it ?

[wolfen]

Hi i've mined 4 or 5 days without btc adress set  how can i withdraw my BTC

-Login
-Account tab -> Settings

"To change your payout address, enter a new address and your password
BTC Address:"

-Input BTC address.

I've input the adress how can i withdraw them all rewards?

I have a lot of rewards that were not sent and i want to withdraw them because are my BTC

I think Kano does this manually whenever it happens, as long as it is over the dust threshold  ...send him a PM and he will take care of you...

Ok it is over

Okay, that's good...these situations are handled on a case by case basis.  Kano just has to be notified and he will straighten it out for you (whenever he is awake).

Seems like he is awake most of the time.

Another Block by canaan!  Way to go!

EDIT:  That would be Block #66 for canaan...wow!  It's a nice fat block as well!

There have been 2 Avalon6's given away so far...3 more to go in March, April, and May.  Yes, you have to mine here to be eligible...here is a quote from page 1 of this thread:

Your 'Workers'->'Shift Graph' must show an average of 300GHs or more - and less than 250THs - on the red average line - for the sum of all your miners.

Nice!  This Monday is shaping up to be a great day and we aren't even half way through it yet! 

Here's to another (or 2)

[cryptichermit]

Juvia block

Damn, didn't notice until now.  I hit that Juvia.  Two blocks in a week. Would have been a great solo week.

Showed up on miner GUI this time. Nice best difficulty

Pool is down here

Edit: And back up

Pool is down here

Edit: And back up 

Yeah the network disappeared for 40s for about 1/2 of the world, not everyone.

UTC time:
[2016-02-15 20:44:24.936] Passthrough ... failed
[2016-02-15 20:45:04.949] Passthrough ... recovered

No idea why yet but can only guess some issue at the data centre - and not directed at the pool.

Hash rate was 23PHs before it happened and dropped to 12PHs now back to 21PHs

Kano and others, way above my head but wanted to see if you guys read this paper and what your thoughts are, any merit?

http://rakeshk.crhc.illinois.edu/dac_16_cam.pdf

Someone make a chip that does it - then ... 30% gain

Though, I'd believe it when I saw the working hardware, and not before.

FYI I only read the opening paragraph

Heh he picked the same number I said on the slush thread - 10 blocks.
Yes the pool already has information about that ...

Okay, so I'll never be eligible for this promotion. Unless you buy the really latest miners your profits are way too low, and if you profit ...

[zOU]

300Ghs<you<250Ths is a very large range

300Ghs is pretty easy to have (not profitable though)
250Ths is not that easy but more profitable (if recent HW and/or cheap power)

I wish the giveaway would be for 300Ghs to 2.5Ths to favor the smaller miners.

After all, who would want an Avallon6 when you already have 250Ths ?
But hey, it brings large miner to the pool so increases the chance to find a block even though is reduces payout for the smaller miners (like me).


Anyway.... back to my movie :p

Reduces the individual payout but increases the frequency of payouts.  Don't forget that little detail

Yes - but more importantly to make it clear - it has NO negative effect on total reward for smaller miners.

Of course if you are in the dust mining league, yep you end up with more of your reward being dust and thus a much longer wait until you ever get it.

But ... ok ... I do need to add something else also for the 32-bit miner failure ... ok that hits the top of the todo list ... ... once I finish this I'm working on.

That is some interesting stuff.  Why would someone do that here?  Would it be to benefit from faster block change notifications? Harm the reputation of the pool?

I'm pretty sure I saw the word "unintentional" in there somewhere.

There are a number of reasons to withhold blocks.
1) If you rent out your gear, you will always be paid even if you withhold.The rental company will also be paid no matter what.
(fuck-you-hash doesn't give a shit about checking for this even though they get 6% of the rental cost - they know they get paid no matter what - they don't care)

2) If you rent out your gear, withholding will reduce the next diff change, so make your gear worth a little bit more each time you manage to withhold a block - again same story for the rental company ... and fuck-you-hash

3) Trying to kill off a competitor. Depending upon the pool payout method, the loss may be small.
PPS - withholding loss (per block) for the miner is zero (pool operator loses all the loss - pool miners lose nothing)
Eligius - withholding loss (per block) for the miner is very small (pool operator loses nothing - pool miners lose all the loss)
PPLNS - withholding loss (per block) for the miner is dependent upon the miner size vs the pool size (pool operator loses pool fees - pool miners lose the difference between the withholder loss and the block reward)

I'm pretty sure I saw the word "unintentional" in there somewhere.

That's to do with possible detection of a specific "unintentional" problem.
However, if someone has $100k (or more) worth of "unintentional" miners, do you expect people would just throw them away if there was no real fix for them ... ... ...
