It is a bit confusing with PPS. I can see my shares with PPLNS and will stick with it going forward. Thanks for your prompt email reply.

I have changed to PPLNS and am monitoring. I have submitted shared all day yesterday on PPS but didn´t see new payouts. I must be missing something... To me it is simple logic. I compared last days, same BTC difficulty, similar #blocks found, no shares after 3AM, very low daily payout. Conclusion: something wrong here.

Would you be able to pull all my shares from yesterday and the payouts and see how they compare with the previous days?

For an entire day when the pool has been finding blocks regularly? Have you seen zero unconfirmed rewards in your stats for 20 hours? Anyone?

Something is not right here.

For the past week I get payout entries approx every 90-120 mins or so. Then all of a sudden after 3AM not one single payout entry? The pool has been discovering new blocks all along as I get emails about it every time and zero payouts in my queue?

 

Until this is resolved I will be mining elsewhere.

Gigavps:

I created a csv file to try and understand this and there are only 2 entries for 10/30. Last one at 3:10:58 AM and nothing since then.

{ts '2013-10-30 00:41:02'}
{ts '2013-10-30 03:10:58'}

Something seems to have happened to my stats after 03:10:58 AM. I have had no shares since then although I never stopped mining except for about 5 minutes when I had to reboot to apply new firmware and then reverted to the previous firmware but that was in the afternoon.

 

0.00000000
UNCONFIRMED REWARDS

This is not normal is it? There should always be something unconfirmed if you are mining, right?
There is nothing wrong with my miner so there must be something the matter with my account stats...

I have zero shares in my stats and zero unconfirmed rewards and payouts.
Anyone else? Everybody else?

Hey, go lie down and jack off. You're too stressed! It's still Sunday. 

I started out pre-ordering from BFL then got my refund as I thought it was a racket. Next was a couple of asicminer blades (12GH/s each). Very intense maintenance but I enjoyed them but made no profit. They did deliver them fast although they were relatively expensive and not very advanced or as fast to keep up with the difficulty rise at the time.

Next an Avalon batch#3. Sofisticated and relatively advanced, nice equipment but I lost money on it with all the delays. Now KNC Jupiter. Already lost the race, I think. Unless the BTC keeps going steadily up I will likely sell it within a month and perhaps recover my overall 3000.00 loss so far. Still pondering what to do because of this recent rise on the BTC due to Asia which could be extremely meaningful for the future of BTC.

So, my conclusion is that there seems to be an inherent mathematical impossibility regarding ROI in BTC because we would need a quickly delivered, fast hashing, way ahead of current difficulty needs, reasonably priced unit we could quickly buy additional modules ahead of time to keep up with the steeper difficutly increases. However, only the people that get them first would have a good return, everyone else would still likely lose in BTC. In paper currency, it all depends. You may gain or lose depending on how the wind is blowing, if the USD doesn't crash before you make any return! So, enjoy the rollercoaster ride. No one knows what lies ahead of the next curve and it may derail at any time!

Someone said a while back that during the Eldorado gold rush those who sold the shovels made a fortune. Most people lost their skin.

Good luck dealing with a sociopath! Best to ignore him.

Look,  just before KNC the only really viable miner was Avalon batch#3. It took them 3 months to deliver with all their previous experience with batches 1 and 2 and when it finally arrived the hash rate was approx. 25% better than anticipated. Compare that with KNC with all the pros and cons and KNC is not doing so bad at all.

Reality check: if another company were to have produced a miner 2X-3X as fast for half the price and 1 month delivery from the time you pre-ordered, there would be so many units mining already the difficulty would be way, but way higher so likely about same profitability in the end! Many here are the asses following the carrot. I'm in for the fun and who knows perhaps make some if the dollar crashes in relation to the BTC and possibly gold as some of my BTC is going to gold. I really don't expect to become a millionaire but there is also a little hope, right? Part of the fun.

Bitcoinorama:

I paid an additional USD 136.00 to have expedited delivery. I believe it was to be same day or overnight. I got my tracking number this morning but UPS has not yet received the unit for shipping. Would you be able to clarify if the delivery of my will be same day or next day?

Thank you.

I sincerely hope that many here have long realized that there is no possible ROI on BTC with any miner, any configuration or any amount of miners per individual. The only possible ROI is in paper currency ***IF*** whatever your paper currency really takes a big dive which may not happen any time soon being that central banks of the G7 are all well aligned and most banks are robbing us to stay afloat.

So, best to mine as a drug to dope you from the nasty world you live in and keep alive some hope that whatever you amass in BTC may multiply a thousand fold in a not too distant future. I believe it is more fun and the chances are much better than playing any lottery. So enjoy and stop complaining because the long wait has become part of the deal. Hmmm, perhaps complaining is also part of the story so yeah, go on, complain if you wish... you've earned it!

Right on the bull nose!

Don't forget to ask mommy!

I totally second ElGabo and am very glad that you have a thick enough skin not to get pissed by so many fools bashing you here when all you do is provide us with excellent updates, tips, info, and your priceless perspective right from the beginning when you visited their facilities before they even started designing the mars prototype eons ago!

Thanks you from the heart! May you live long and prosper my friend

I suspect they are behind schedule on their hosted scheme so this is likely where all their focus is. Any word anywhere from bitcoinorama? It would be very nice to get an update from him.

Is 0.94 a must for stability or can you apply up to 0.93 for now until they fix the speed issue with 0.94?
