This is the first pool in my btc mining experience, and it hasn't been very positive.  As of right now I've been waiting 5 days for a payout. 

LOL wow

I have my antminers running, however it seems I have a ton of discarded shares.  Is this normal?

Multipool is fine and all but what is the purpose of getting mintcoins out of it, just to hoard?  If the coin has any future it needs to be for being able to purchase goods or services, not hoard or trade in for BTC.  So far there is a marketplace on reddit which barely has any posts and usually is just to trade for another currency.  

I need to order another psu for my 2 ants on the way.  Would you recommend a single 500w for each or just going with a 850 corsair?

Are you running the 2 pci-e off 1 physical cable?  I have one connection to my PSU that has 2 PCI-e off it. I was running this way but read it was bad so I switched to having one pci-e cable off 2 molex connectors.  Now I read that having the molex to pci-e isn't enough power and isn't safe.  What would be the best method of powering them?

I'm using a corsair 500w power supply.  One thing I did change last night was that I was running the pci-e off 1 daisy chain, it has 2 connectors.  I had ordered a molex to pci-e connector so I switched one pci-e connector on the units to one powered by 2 molex connectors.  Its probably safer like that.  Overall the unit is running very nice, I sold my scrypt mining setup and have more ants on the way.  

Anyone having really bad smells from the antminers? I had one running in my game room, and I got a horrible headache, could be cheap glue or something??  These things are going in my garage as soon as I have some wireless antennas.  Probably breathing in some mercury/glue mix.   

I have been leaving it open 24/7 but it chews thru resources.  And I'd say I only get less than 10% with any confirmations, I have up to 200 mint transactions generated now from what I hold.  It sounds like its better if I just open it every few weeks.  I thought I would miss out on transactions if I had it closed.  I mined it since day 2 of coin being released.

So I have tons of transactions that show mined from minting.  I'd say 150+ so far.  However, I have almost 90% of them that show NO confirmations, even 5 days back.  I'm running on latest mint wallet on Mac.  Any ideas why this is?  Is this part of the issues that was being mentioned?

Hello All,

I wanted to make you aware of a scammer who has gotten many people on the forum with his mintcoin bullshit.  I can provide all logs and emails for proof.  We setup a transaction to buy mint, he claimed that his rig died and he needed money so he was trying to liquidate coins.  We sent me a IRC room to discuss, I sent him reference to my ebay account.  He wanted me to send half of the money first then, he would send me all the coins and then I would send the rest of them.  Well I sent the paypal and I noticed that it showed as unclaimed, I had never seen this before.  We went back and forth and he sent me "screenshots", I got really suspicious and was about to click cancel.  He then leaves the IRC room, and accepts my money.  Of course my dumbass sent him the payment as family so he wouldn't pay "taxes".  As soon as he left a few minutes later I get a email saying, chat crashed, sending email.  I sent him several followup emails in rage knowing I got scammed out of $200.

The little *****er then has the balls to send me a PM several minutes later and posts on the mint thread saying his email was hacked.  Member  ddvcrypto  got scammed as well as others.

"Hi, I just woke up. I saw like 50 mails in my inbox and everything was PM's. Somebody hacked me and scammed like four people... FUCK. So so sorry. Really, I'm so sorry..."
"Mate, I cannot because I don't have your BTC. I have 1.47 million MINT and that's it. Don't threaten me since I haven't done shit."
"Hey mate, how's it going? Can you revert the transaction and get the money back?"

So to recap this dumbshit, he claims that his bitcointalk account was hacked, his personal email account was hacked AND his Paypal was hacked.  Then he has the balls to reply to my PM within 30 minutes of scamming me to say he was hacked. 

It was my first transaction attempting to buy any sort of coins and will certainly be my last with individuals if this is what the community is made up of.  I used to deal with high end sports cards and I know the level of scumbags of people this age who were in the hobby and probably are the same kind of individuals in some crypto mining.  Be on the lookout for him popping up as a alias.  After I called him out on his total bullshit explanation for being hacked he stopped responding and hasn't posted yet.  I'm sure he has another account and is trying to pull the same shit, I hope what comes around goes around. 

Thats a bunch of bullshit.  So they hacked your bitcoin account here to start the scam, hacked your personal hotmail address, THEN hacked your paypal address which you accepted my payment from.  You have 4 hours to refund me the money asshole.

He scammed me out of $200, ban that mother*******er

DO NOT TRADE, HE JUST SCAMMED ME

Screw all of the pools I've been on.  Got scammed over at hashrapid out of 400k, now I switch to coins4everyone and its been down, and now they raise the threshold for withdrawls to 100k? wtf?  I guess a bunch of fisherprice admins run these mint pools. 

Looking to buy a couple million mint.  I don't have BTC, but I do have paypal or can use google wallet to pay.  Paypal verified and can provide verification from 250+ 100% ebay feedback.  New to this forum, but primarily mine doge.

WTF? I had 500k coins, and my balance shows 30k coins, there may have been double credits, but I should at least have a couple 100k.  I'm pulling my rigs off this scam pool right now, this is bs.
