Today was a bad day for mining on the Bitgrin dev pool. Several miners complained about reducing, unchanged and disappearing balances. Apparently there was a node upgrade and possibly a fork, one of the devs said generally (with no detail):
"It seems the pool was mining a fork for a few hours today so those coins werent valid."
Unsure what the status is but I would like assistance with the "shared transaction id" from the pool (so that 749 XBG I sent to myself aren't lost).
This project seems promising from several perspectives (the tech, the economics) but I have to say that the mining experience, communicating with miners, usability of wallets, pools, etc is, well . . . an opportunity for improvement.
That is true, mining at this point is not as user-friendly as we want it to be.
Keep in mind this is still very early days and its and miner adoption is definitely a priority for Bitgrin, we are working on infrastructure so it's seamless
