BITMAIN announces Antpool

[Quickseller]

It looks like AntPool recently signaled BU support.

Yeah but the problem there is signalled support is a little different to what core thinks.
Although we like to think that bitcoin isn't under the control of anyone, core thinks they control it and act as such.

Someone would have to actually push a commit to core for BU and then core would have to actually accept it and put it into a release version.
Why would they do that?

Yep bitcoin is not decentralised.

Why does your other pool btcpool pay fees to miners and you do not?

[HI-TEC99]

Antpool mined a block yesterday that included a $3000 fee someone sent by mistake. He started the thread quoted below requesting help.

Please help, please, I sent a transaction with a $3000 fee by mistake, I can't afford to lose this much I am saving for college

Please help anyone

What can I do?

edit

Antpool said it would compensate the user for his mistake out of its own pocket.

Hi guys,

For registered users on AntPool was option " Transaction accelerate" - from few days I can't find this option in toolbar.
Is AntPool removed this possibility, or it was relocated to other place in menu?

Can I set my pay out (which is now daily) to for example weekly or every 3 days?

Antpool, i wish you to die.
I really hope that you all will be killed.
You destroy a bitcoin. You are greedy scum
I hope you will be eaten by rats

What happened?
We're all frustrated with price drops, but free market looks like that. If you believe that BTC have future you can sleep well, and just remember password to your wallet

Bitcoin is as strong as it's ever been, its price is still well above what it was just a few months ago.  You can't expect it to be at an ATH all the time and just keep going up the same amounts forever.  Regardless, even though BU is arguably responsible for the temporary fall in price, Antpool is not the only group which switched to BU or is going to make it happen.

That's it! It is the users, so WE will decide which coin has real value! All big exchanges have already declared that they will support BTC and that is much more important! Sooner or later, Antpool will have to return to the real Blockchain for one simple reason! If he does not do it - he will stop earning money! BOOM!

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Hey everyone I just started mining bitcoins with my brand new Antminer S7 on the Antpool. Super excited.

I was wondering if anyone knows when Antpool pays out, and how I can adjust the settings?

you joined the pool and never even looked at their payout methods???
The info is on the pool webpages: Perhaps you should read it?

Is slushpool better than antpool?

[HagssFIN]

Is slushpool better than antpool?

Yes, I prefer Slush or Kano over Antpool.

[adz1922]

Yes, I prefer Slush or Kano over Antpool.

may I know why bro? Are the fees in slush smaller than antpool? I'll transfer to Slush tomorrow if it really is better there..

[HagssFIN]

They share transaction fees for miners. And it is more healthy choice for Bitcoin network in a long run.

thanks bro. just transferred to slushpool and now running my s9 on it. although i also earned a lot in antpool, slushpool sounds better now. 

[adz1922]

does anybody know the Diff in the antminer s9 status page?
it is in the line "Pool   URL   User   Status   Diff   GetWorks   Priority   Accepted   Diff1#   DiffA#   DiffR#   DiffS#   Rejected   Discarded   Stale   LSDiff   LSTime"
for me one mining pool has higher Diff than the other 2 and it has the highest LSDiff and LSTime
