I have 2 payouts being late. One is late for over a day, another is 6 hours. I checked the transaction, but both are unconfirmed. Usually, it takes about 1 hour to get through, those 2 of my payouts are longer than usual. Is that normal?

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions
So, that means, all the transaction will go through lately? I'm new to the pool, so, I dont really know how a multi-pool works or payout.

there is a growing global queue of BTC transactions. All you can do it wait, and have a coffee. The BTC was sent from the pool and now waits.


The transactions FEEs for BTC are incredibly expensive and no end in sight...  BTC transaction processing is so ridiculous right now!!

Is there anyway that the POOL can change your primary payout currency to something other than BTC???  Like LTC, BCH, DASH or ETH?

I know individually you can change your worker password to get another currency but that only works if there is enough in the pool's wallet for that coin.  Is anyone doing this and this works without issue?

The BTC transactions are killing the small miner's profit...!



For pool miners the transaction fees are not a big deal, at least as far as getting the bitcoin.
The last payment transaction from zpool had a total transaction fee of 0.1 BTC = $1563 USD which sounds like a LOT BUT
there were 2851 miners paid in this transaction - So the Per Miner Fee was only 53 cents, reasonable even for the smallest miner.
The confirtmation delay is a bit of a pain but considering it probaly took multiple days to min the coin even an extra day for the transaction to confirm is not horrible.
and the best bit, the pool pays the transaction fee in any case, obviously it comes out of the total but this benefits the smaller miners
because they would have had a smaller share of the pool and hence payed a smaller share of the total fee.
All in all it seems to work OK. Unless you have a better plan ?

I agree to a point. Keep in mind once we have the btc in our little miner wallets if we want to move it for whatever reason it hurts us then. I tried to move $500 worth the other day and the fee would have been 40 bucks. I would be 100% on board with moving to LTC for example where the fee's are tiny and speed is much improved. All exchanges and coinbase take LTC. Seems like it would result in less fee's and better experience for everyone or am I missing something?

I agree...

http://zpool.ca/?address=1AT1PzoNGecJUDZc68x7w89TJwVbDeYwhU

My X11 hash rate on the pool is showing 50-75% of what is should be for the last few hours?

My local D3 console shows 17GHs.  I rebooted but still the same.

Is there any issue with the X11 pool?

I'm working on trimming down the x11 coins to accommodate the influx if users. Should have it stabilized soon.

Ok no problem.  Thanks for the quick reply.

Is it an issue if I change my payout from BTC to BCH at anytime?  I think getting paid in BCH works better for me because of low transaction/miner fees compared to BTC's high transaction/miner fees.  Am I missing anything if I do this?  What is the threshold payout for BCH?  Is it the same as BTC (.01)?   Huh


Thresholds are the same; aside from decred; which is noted on the main page.


generate a new unique BCH address, and select payout in that;  but that is assuming BCH is on the list of coins the pools actually mines.

Crackfoo can confirm.

Thanks!

Is this an example of what your are talking about?  https://www.nicehash.com/news/114

Hopefully someone can figure out something similar for the D3...





I want to turn back the algo issue.

Here is a comparision

Quark and Qubit algorithms can profit more than 30 $ while the x11 can profit only 2 $

These values are for 10 ghs . So in case of 20 ghs mining speed , profits will be double.

Baikal owners really very lucky . I hope, this topic will succeed the same thing for everyone.

Would there be any chance in the future that remote management for Antminer L3+ could be added to the WinMiner app?

I would think that could be possible and would be awesome!

Is it better to do --instances=2 or --instances=1?

What are people running with for this switch that gives the best results?

MSI R9 290 with Arctic Accelero Hybrid III - 140 (R9-290X) Multi-Compatible Air/Liquid Cooler


Am I missing something? It's entirely possible I'm wrong. I just did the math in my head.

At $99 for this cooler this isn't worth it.  The speed improvement isn't enough to justify the cost of the cooler. You can just buy more GPUs.


True but the fans on the MSI 290 are horrible and have a short life.  Also very loud and run pretty hot at 100% GPU utilization.  30-40 days and the cooler is paid for hopefully.   I have had these 290s many months now and they have paid for themselves already.  1 fan on each of my 290s died recently and I was tired of the heat and the noise the factory cooler put out.

hmmm I just noticed....

ltcgear doesn't force https at anytime unless you type https://ltcgear.com and then you are good?

If people are not using https while logged on to their ltcgear account then their account would be open to be hacked...?

Any http traffic from your account can be viewed, intercepted and possibly changed?

I purchased Dual Mod 10 on Nov 21st for $837 with no discounts.  That was the price then.

Price for Dual Mod 10 is now $1600??  Even adding in the Cyber Monday discount of 45% is still not cheaper than a couple of weeks ago. 

I supposed I am confused about the pricing of the Dual Mod 10 currently...?  Vertcoin and Darkcoin have not skyrocketed in price.

So is the Dual Mod M10 pack worth it?  Has anyone been able to figure the ROI for this?
