me too, i am not receiving payment at all. i am new mining on antpool. and btw, with 3 days i am start mining on antpool, i've got 0.00777 and now its reduce 0.00605547, how it could be?

i sending email to support and they told me that if balance reach 0.001, then the payment will be send automatickly but until now i am not receive any payment and my balance got reduce. its become scam?

why are you on antpool?

what country are you in? any country except China really should not use antpool .

  this is not a racial statement it is based on connectivity to pools and the fact that antpool is far too big to need more hash.

what gear do you use?  looks like you have 5th or less how much hash do you have.



you do not have a ton of gear so you get lost in the sauce on pools like antminer.
as long as you are not in China you can connect with ease to many other pools.

I wrote a long thread on kano.is  and why people should mine there vs antpool or f2pool

how do get my antpool earnings out step by step there is no guide i need to get my earnings out and start fresh somewhere else like ghash.io

You must have minimum earnings and auto payment will send it to you. 0.01 btc

Good choice on moving somewhere else.

So guys have you found Antpool better then say Slush Pool?  I am trying to figure out the best pool.  I have an Antminer s7.

[Mikestang]

Any pool that does not mine empty blocks and does not spv mine is better than antpool.  Don't support lazy pool code that's bad for bitcoin.

If you don't live in China don't mine in China with an S-7 or any other BTC miner.


The short explanation is  Antpool and F2pool use tactics that can be very harmful to BTC in the long run.

Longer deeper explanation is 3 Chinese pools have 65% of the worlds hashpower causing a very lopsided amount of power in one country.

This is a world wide coin so pick a pool the is not in China.

Note if you live in China  you have a lack of connectivity and are stuck mining in China

Right now the only pool for you to be in with an s-7 is kano.is

I have a long thread about it.

anyone know how the block signing auction system works? I sent in some BTC but my request is just sitting there along with others even though the pool is finding blocks.

That's probably because the date you have set to sign your message, hasn't been reached yet.

If you have paid for your message, then your message will be incorporated in a block on the date you specified, assuming no one else outbids you on that specific day. Hashnest is currently solving around 40 blocks per day, so the chances to be outbid by (around 40) others that specific day you requested your message to be incorporated, should be quite slim.

[ByronP]

date has come and gone so what happens? does that mean that the btc goes poof and the request stays open forever?

[QuestionQuest]

Just want to report:

I can login.
I got payouts.
Luck was less then days before, but fine.

Maybe a login-server went down or a database-crash???
Even biggest provider already had such issues. Mine on ispace.co.uk or Kano.is for a while and switch back / controll later again.

But website is very slow atm! (maybe ddos or network-/dns-issue, too?)

Only if you were outbid, or when the payment hasn't been completed.

You can check yours, under "My Auction Records".

Id say use this as an option guys to point your hash away from antpool to another smaller pool. I wouldn't mine here given its history of mining empty TX blocks.

Just thought I'd mention it.

I don't know why they haven't just pulled the plug completely on their p2pool project. It's just bad PR by now.

Then again, I don't see why an [expletive deleted] like yourself would want to stir up shit about it. Especially considering your past affiliations.

If, according to Core roadmap, Segwit will be deployed in April allowing higher blocksize, why is all this fighting going on?

I'm sorry you are too stupid and n00bish to realize ASIC pre-orders are risky and many high tech start-ups fail due to adverse business conditions.

I'd hoped the long list of other bankrupt miner manufacturers would clue you in, but no, you are just too fucking stupid to get it.

Gmax reminded us about Bitmain's broken promises regarding p2pool:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4l564f/bitcoin_core_nonirc_meeting_summary_for_20160520/d3kefgb

I want antpool to make good on their promises to use P2Pool-- promises which which pretty much killed P2Pool by diverting hashrate away from it--, promises which they still advertise ... But not all wishes are realistic.

He was, like me, a Hashfast customer, although we strenuously disagree about many details in that fiasco.

Does this help you understand how fucking stupid it is to judge everything someone does by an unrelated past association?

I didn't pre-order from HashFast. In fact, every ASIC I ever ordered has been delivered (It's called "due diligence", you might want to look it up). Most of them from Bitmain. Which makes it a bit strange to see someone like you make a big stink about a shitty little feature which isn't relevant anyway. It's kind of like bicyclists who think they're saving the world by sweating their way to work.

Gmaxwells claims are completely disconnected from reality. The overwhelming majority of antpools hashing power comes from their own farms, and none of the people who understand what p2pool is genuinely thinks that's what antpool is offering. The fact that Gregory tries to use this, in some weird way, to nullify the HK agreement is beyond stupid. The fact that his lapdog iCEBREAKER is given the task of causing a stink in Bitmain related threads just goes to show that he's completely lost.

I saw him whining to Peter Todd about "misinformation" and "poor communication". If he stopped hanging in the Classic #REKT thread, ditched his cry-buddy iCEBREAKER and grew some balls, he could contribute to the conversation and try to make things work with the miners. Maybe even along terms he is comfortable with. Bitcoin isn't a joke any more, it's an industry. And like it or not, he's one of its leaders. As is Jihan. If Gregory is willing to get out of the trenches then it's in Jihans interest to hear what he has to say. But this barrage of immature attacks might become more costly than Maxwell is able to bear soon.
