Halving of mining rewards? The mining reward started at 15.0 at block 1 and gradually decreases by 0.000001 Bismuth for every block found.

The reward is currently 14.385832 Bismuth at block 614168.  (15 - 614168 * 0.0000001)

You need to enter the 16 digit code that identifies the Cryptopia account you are sending to in the Data/Openfield.

The 16 digit code can be found on the Cryptopia website when you click "Deposit" and choose "Bismuth".

It brings up a form with these fields:

Message (required):
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (your unique 16 digit code - enter this into Data/openfield)
Cryptopia BIS Address:
edf2d63cdf0b6275ead22c9e6d66aa8ea31dc0ccb367fad2e7c08a25 (This is the same address for everyone - the message identifies the account)

Someone used Cryptopia's address instead of their own address, because there was a payment of 1.0400515 from the pool directly to Cryptopia (edf2d63cdf0b6275ead22c9e6d66aa8ea31dc0ccb367fad2e7c08a25) included in block 537311 (2018/03/02,03:37:18) - if this is you, you need to use your own wallet address.

If you have low hashrate, then it may take several rounds before you get a payout because the minimum payout is 1 Bismuth. There are people mining with 300 MH/s who only get about 1 payment a day, but most people have much higher hash rates, so get paid every round.

You can see it in the "Pending payouts" on the main miners page at the moment, which is number of shares * reward per share (which can go up or down as the round progresses).  It will be added to each individual miner page later too. There is a 6 hour round/payout time & a minimum payout of 1 Bismuth - shares will roll over into the next round if less than 1 Bismuth is earned in a round.

Glad to hear it Because it's quite light on the CPU, I believe it works well on rigs lots of GPUs too.

Have you tried the http://bis-pool.net/ miner? It usually only uses a few % on the CPU, so it might run better in the background. If it still doesn't run OK, you could increase "delay_between_batches" (measured in ms) in the config file
