Can anyone answer a couple of questions for me? I have my payments from here sent to my Ledger Nano S and then I send those funds to the exchange I use. The transaction fee continues to grow every time I send funds from my nano to the exchange. For a 60 dollar transaction it is up to almost 15 bucks to send to the exchange. Why is that transaction fee continuing to grow every time I send funds to the exchange?

The other question is, what happens if I select a custom transaction fee and I send it with the minimum satochies (however you spell them)? I tried it and set it at the minimum, which was 100. What happens if I get no confirmations on that transaction? Does it eventually come back to my Nano S?

Thanks!

And grats on all the blocks!

I have a ledger nano S wallet but they told me not to send mined BTC directly to the wallet and they suggested to me that I have the rewards sent somewhere else first and then transfer them to the hard wallet. 

I have never had a stuck transaction from the ledger wallet because I always used the max amount of payment for the transaction (although it took more than 24 hours to receive one time). But I did have a stuck transaction using CoinSpace wallet before and I used this https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/. To accelerate it because I wasn't even getting any confirmation, not one!  And it worked for me!  My transaction was finally picked up and I started to get confirmation!  I hope that helps....

Another one !! Crazy green party! And a new record for last 5 blocks 1,473.69%   luck 1,738.99% pps!

Let see if we can push the last 10 luck over 1000%

Mine on

[IntroVert]

That crazy 5 block record stood only for 1 block, to be replaced by even crazier one. Leaving here for posterity:

Description   Time   MeanTx%   Diff%   Mean%   CDF[Erl]   Luck%   PPS%
Last 5 Blocks   3.5hrs   119.1%   6.79%   6.79%   0.0000   1,473.69%   1,738.99%

Hmm, well I will change my address to a different wallet and give that a go because those fees, even on low, are getting crazy.

We have 7 blocks in the confirm queue and I still can't believe the luck stats!  This is EPIC indeed!

Sigh - passthru at stratum.kano.is just dropped off the network yet again (03:00 UTC) for about 1 minute this time so everyone on there almost certainly failed over (and back)
No nodes affected.
Still trying to find a cause of it, but it's looking the same: something in LA causing random very short network dropouts
(since it also affects the whitelisted LA node)
Hash rate is heading back up again.

That worked! I got it in right at the hour change and within 20 minutes it went through!

It's because the transaction fee is denominated in btc/kb and btc price has been going up.  The reason is your $60 is made up of many small transactions which take up more byes. 

I would just have the funds sent directly from Kano to the exchange, that way the TX fees are the exchange's problem - and most charge only one small fee to send.

I.E. btc-e charges 0.001 (~$2) for withdrawals.  So anyone earning small payouts could just direct all the payouts to their btc-e account and then withdraw in one lump payment from btc-e for $2. 

Or alternatively if you don't need the coins just let them keep building up until either there are very few transactions in the pool (and you can send them with a very low transaction fee) or until something is decided about increasing block size / segwit at which time transaction fees will probably go down.

I thought about having them sent to the Exchange, but everything I have read and people I have talked to have said not to do that so I haven't done that.

It's ok to send it to an Exchange, well I'm my case it is Volabit ( not sure if it's considered an exchange).  I just let the BTC accumulate there until I get like a 0.5 or 1 BTC and then I transfer them to the hardware wallet (if I don't sell them right there and then).  I think it is completely fine just don't keep too much BTC there, I personally don't let it go over 1 BTC.  For me Volabit works the best, I like the page layout, notifications and they charge me barely anything for pulling my BTC out.  I've never had a problem with any of the transfers from them, and it Has been always very quick for me!

Just curious why no T9s finding blocks, it is almost always S9s.

Well they could be T9s coz they provide the same information.
However the pool has a truck load of S9s (and A7s) pointing at it so they also would be the 'most likely' to find blocks.
