I joined this pool this morning at around 9am PST. My machine is a crossfire setup with 4800's doing 150 Mh/s

Since joining I have "earned" an estimated 1 btc and two rounds have already been completed, however my bitcoin client shows no payments received.

I admit I am new to this, however, I am using the custom miner with the correct flags and the stats page on www.bitcoinpool.com shows that my miners are submitting shares correctly.

Why no payment? Sad

Sincerely,
Hopeful but dissapointed n00b miner

p.s. My username here is the same as my username on the pool stats page.

p.p.s My address is 19vg91RrXPMdWydgxv4R6TRfMjruVgoG6o (donations of 0.01 or less would be greatly appreciated Cheesy

) I got 5 btcents from the faucet! Yay!

Also is it true that the bitcoin client does not report balances of less than 0.01? If so, how do I check my balances?

Great... I feel like an idiot now because I think I just figured it out... When at least 120 other clients confirm the result then the unconfirmed earnings get sent to me. Correct?

Please make this clearer on your site for n00bs like me. Also thanks for hosting a such an awesome and efficient pool. As an engineer I approve all deferments of inevitable entropy universe death! Keep up the WINNING.

Hi, and welcome

I'm still pretty new myself, but most of these pools will only do a payout to your account every so often, and some of them you need to set a "minimum payment" threshold or they have a preset. I mine deepbit myself and it seems they pay out once per day I believe. Other pools are different, and keep in mind, most of them are still in development. Seems that all the pool owners around here are very trustworthy guys so don't worry about getting screwed over or anything. I've had payments show up in my BTC client that show as "unconfirmed" but after a couple of blocks they've been confirmed and the "pending" balance does indeed get added to the account. So, just be patient, you will reap your rewards. As far as I understand it, subcent amounts won't work outside of the pool you're mining in, so you can't collect less than .01 BTC. You wouldn't want to anyway. I keep mine set at .10 on deepbit, but since it doesn't pay out that often I get more like 1BTC every payout (well since difficulty went up). So don't worry, trust in your pool, and happy mining.
