Hey,
Many thanks to all and mostly to user "Quickseller" who got the answer I was looking for. This finally does all make sense, I was expecting a payment from them only in the morning, they just paid out sooner I guess. Also, if anyone would like to give a go at my question in
mining that would really help me. A nice Sunday to all, Louis
As a general rule I would suggest that you not have more then one person/entity send BTC to the same address. That way you know with a greater amount of certainty as to who exactly a certain transaction/payment came from. This is especially true for if/when you start dealing with people who are less then as reputable then someone like antpool/bitmain
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the S7, nor familiar enough with mining to be able to help you with your other question.
This is very stupid. Making a new address for each transaction is wasteful. If you do this, we will soon run out of addresses. It is better to use the same address many times. Then, transfer those multiple receives to a paper wallet in the cold. Don't use up tons of addresses for no reason. This is very wasteful. We must protect the blockchain and stop over use of too many addresses that don't need to be created for every new transaction.
