PSA the default pool on the Antrouter R1 is now mining the altcoin ClassicCoin instead of Bitcoin.
Decoded Stratum Data from antrouter.antpool.com:3333 :
Code:
Block Version:30000000
Coinbase Sig:_Mined by AntPool bj2___l V__Pm_______

the way they set it up you never did solo mine on your own bitcoin address anyway..
they just 'give' you the bitcoin if you personally find a block.. i actually think since the r1 will never mine a block they are taking the pools bitcoin for those accounts..


i actually switched mine to mine peercoin.. you have a better chance of getting a block.



Not quite understanding what this means? So if you  have a "standard" R1 you think you are Solo Mining Bitcoin and if you hit a block you will get 25 Coins?

You are saying that you are actually Mining ClassiCoin? So what will happen if you hit a block, wiil you be paid 25 Bitcoin? Surely the chances of hitting a ClassicCoin Block are greater than Bitcoin? Or am I misunderstanding what is going on here?

Rich
im not sure, but to be honest the r1 mining thing was always quite sketchy.. first you were mining on an email address.. and as per bitmains instructions, the email was associated with the r1 on sale.. also they said if you did get a block, they had to email you to verify you bought the r1 from them.. but then since took that down. so who knows..

also, you arent really solo mining.. you are mining on their pool with their username.
