[ANN] Snowballs | ONE MORE HARD FORK to BALLS 2.0.2 | BALLS/MMXIV Market OPEN

[Mortimer452]

6 day shift on the multipool and only 8,680 BALLS paid out?  Did something go wrong?  I was expecting about 10x that, especially with the price drop the past couple days.

hmm... depends on how much you've mined. got ~1k each of both last shifts by throwing my aux 6x750 rig some couple hours every other now and then over the last few days... however, multipools are just a nice convenient thing. you might make better deals when you cherry pick coins and trade them yourself to buy a bag of balls...or you let the pool do the job...
that previous shift was a little long so I as well became cautious but remember... holidays  

btw. one has to witness the moment when those bucks go staking, what a drop ...
after that very moment it all so clear why they're called <snowballs>

I'm referring to the 8,680 total BALLS paid out for the entire pool, in the shift history - not just mine.

Shift ending Sun Dec 21 was only 2 days, found 1/4 as many blocks and paid out 20,792 BALLS

6 days is the longest shift the pool has ever had, and paid out pretty miserably compared to other 1 or 2 day shifts.  I am guessing we are mining the wrong coin - mining BTC would have paid out way, way better

Not all coins are traded on one shift. You will probably get payments for that shift over the next few shifts even if you stopped mining now. Each different coin mined has different confirmation times for mined blocks, etc

This is my guess, ThePeePs is the only one that knows for sure

X11 pulled in a cool 40k 

[edschroedinger]

...haha ...left my wallet running and that amazing thing won't stop dropping blobs of coins like a ticking snowball cannon  ...
that was no joke with the 1000%...duude, lol... first wallet I voluntarily leave open and running for staking. I'd say, mission acomplished...
award for some serious user entertainment... could have as well named them 'tribbles'

btw. nice way how that diff chart resembles the snowball 'heartbeat'

yup... was pretty surprised myself as I gave the pool like 10 maybe 15 percent mining time at most, and nothing when the shift exceeded 3 days... and I went away with ~1.6k balls... and after watching them doing their stake-thing... holysht... well, one can call it a one trick pony... now, with some dead serious bad ass mofo molahplicator trick and a half

I take it that means you enjoy it?

What Spots said is correct.  You also have to keep in mind that the prices of the coins being mined change too, so it's not always the same... I too was very disappointed in the payout.  I was hoping to see a nice buy up (to kick up the price) and a nice large number of BALLS to be paied out..

Sadly that wasn't the case.  I checked and we didn't go on a fork of any of the coins, so it may have just been a bad few days of mining.

I've had rentals that still got paid for 2 or 3 shifts after they ended

Well an update in my situation..  my previous last stake was on the 24th.

And this morning I got a stake.

So I guess I don't / shouldn't reset, move coins.

Yep started staking again on New Year's Eve.

For what's it worth, here is an image of my Snowballs. Thing have definitely flat lined on my end. I was going to buy more Snowballs but I think I'll wait till the snow looks white again. I'm hopeful things will work out. My initial beta investment of SBalls was on December 10th based on a the recommendation found on Vegas' sight. Ill be watching.



 

Network stake weight is already up 25% since that screenshot. If you are positive your coins are under 30 days of staking, I highly suggest not moving them or you will reset your coinage

3,072,933.1297553

My wallet is back staking like a champ again. Happy Happy. I am highly considering investing more coins.

Thanks iGotSpots for your advice to be patient and hold. It all worked out great.

Excellent. Glad to hear reports of it responding how I thought it would. I feel much better watching that graph start to average out again instead of the crazy heartbeat pattern lol - Now if only the coins I moved on Christmas would stake, I could join the happy crew!

My 26K wallet is staking each day now, 5k reward from Christmas bug.
My 11k wallet with fresh BALLS after Christmas has 38k weight but has not staked yet.

I have 700k weight but not staked yet.

[MALCOM X X X]

I have 50k, never staking for 3 days....

[kawa900jc]

I have 50k, never staking for 3 days....

If the balls are fresh you have to be patient 30 days may be.

[ryanb]

I moved my coins to myself on the 26th do i wait 30 days?

I had 300k before and all staking all day...

[istvandv]

it looks like the new min age maturity is shorter than 30 days

it seems it is now 9 days (8.8 days?)

sample 1 - block 148878 2015-01-03 14:16:10
        from block 138913 2014-12-25 01:17:46

sample 2 - block 148876 2015-01-03 14:13:11
        from block 139851 2014-12-25 11:01:39

sample 3 - block 148870 2015-01-03 13:50:07
        from block 139555 2014-12-25 07:36:05



update: my own personal christmas block has also successfully staked after 9 days
