What's up with the forum? Error 500's and 404 and too busy to reply. Sigh.

I'm seeing the same thing here.

Wondering if the site is getting hammered with traffic due to BTC price and all the press Bitcoin is getting.

A medio litro bottle of mexican coke was sacrificed for the good of the order, and the next block.

Ok, i'm sure this has been brought up before.  I'm just wondering why the payment that was sent from Kano for the last block is just sitting in my wallet in a pending state.  How many confirmations does a block usually need to be confirmed, at the moment I think it's at 365.  The payments been pending for 2 days, I definitely received it but I don't have it yet

Hi Jim, it's a zero-fee (or very low fee) transaction so it's in the mempool but usually ignored by other pools/miners.  On our next block we will confirm any zero/low-fee transactions that the pool has sent (our payments!) and are still in the mempool.
Make sense?  Mine on!

When I retired my s3's and s5's I wasn't making enough money with them to pay for the electricity; or so I thought. If I had left them turned on longer I might have been paying $1.15 in electricity for $1 worth of BTC that today would be >$7. Kick me in the #@%*! I save most my coins so it really hurts. I guess if I sold them every week/month it wouldn't have mattered.
I sold them (s3's & 5's) to some teenage kid on craigs list. I should have waited to retired them only when I needed room on my panel. Live and learn.

Hi
Quick question, i have 0.169 block% in my workers page, does this means my % of the block reward?
thanks

[VRobb]

Correct.  (Block reward + txn fees - pool fee) * block% = your reward.  Mine on! 

[androdeida]

Thanks mate.

Definitely does make sense, thanks for the info.  The only reason I brought this up today is because this has only happened with this block and 1 other since I started with the pool so I thought there might have been an issue.  Norm I receive the BTC into my wallet and it might pend for a bit but not more than an hr or 2.  It's been 3 days with this one ithink.  Are we still getting paid for the block that was mined before the newest one or are we back to just getting the payment for the block that is mined then and there?

Sometimes those payments get sucked up over night...this one hasn't yet.

When we hit our next block, any blocks that have mature (101+ confirms) and are queued up are confirmed by this pool and paid out.  That new block then has to get the 101+ confirms and be put into the payout queue.  That new block will then get confirmed by the next block after that.  Like rifleman74 said, sometimes other pools will confirm our queued up blocks for us but not too often.

If this is answered somewhere else can someone please point me in that direction? I have 2 transactions that have not been confirmed. I did not pay the minimum, but I did not go crazy with the fee. Example > I sent 100$ and I added a 2$ fee.

Other boards say they can move my transactions along. Some are free and some are paid. They stated they find the block my transaction is in and move it toward the front and get it confirmed.

My questions are. If a block is found do the miners process the ones with high fees and leave the low fee transactions hanging out there? Do some blocks just sit out there because it is not enough fees to mess with? Is there a way for me to find my transactions and move them along myself?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, transactions with lower fees have lower priority in the mempool and can sit out there for a long time without being picked up.  What are the transaction ids?  I could try to insert them into one of the transaction accelerators to get them moving.  Sometimes that works.

I have accelerated them through ConfirmTX. Thank you for the offering to assist   What I would like to know is how to do it myself.

You can put your transaction ID into https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ which is one I use.  It gets used a lot so most of the time it says it's full now and try again later.  I did figure out that they only accept 100 IDs each hour and if you try right at the top of the hour you have a much better chance of getting your transaction in.  They do require that your fee on the transaction be at least 0.0001BTC/KB or they won't accept it.  The service is free which is good.
