Has anybody gotten a payout today? Mine is unconfirmed as well. Maybe something to do with the craziness, more people moving around btc? I notice there's no fee on the transaction - that def slows it down.
I got a payout about 10 hours ago with no problem.

Hi Dr.
I am a relatively new user 4 days total. My payout appears to be stuck. I haven't had a payout since 05:XX this morning. I do have coin in the unconfirmed, last night I did turn off prepay perks, however I turned them back on today.
Am I waiting for the 120 blocks to clear? Or is it stuck?
I am sure this questions has been asked before, I did try to look it up before I asked. So sorry in advance if this has been covered.

I was looking for a thread here on Bitcointalk where people gab about it.
Check the Mining Speculation subforum, WR.
Thank you - found what I needed right there.

Auto cash out is free - Bitminter pays the fee for you. There will soon be a manual cash out too, but that will require a fee.
Thanks, now i just need to wait to reach the threshold.
There's nothing like collecting that first bitcent from your mining efforts!
Except possibly your first solo-mined block in 2009, saved until 2013 or later - but I wouldn't know how that feels, so I can't compare...

Is there a thread here on Bitcointalk where the difficulty jumps are followed?
I figured I'd ask here so as to avoid starting a thread and because I know I can count on Bitminter miners to be helpful.

Oh, I know plenty of sites to track the difficulty. I was looking for a thread here on Bitcointalk where people gab about it.

Seriously, organofcorti is absolutely the man when it comes to statistical analysis.
Both Organofcorti and Meni Rosenfeld are very good with the math, statistics and perhaps most importantly: probability theory.
I think it is human nature to fail horribly at understanding probability.
It's OK to not be as good as these guys. I think it is more important to understand the limitations of our own knowledge and skills. Read and use the stuff they write.
Never used a different pool. never will in all probability unless Bitminter ceases to exist. Just wanted to say a big thanks to Doc and happy mining everyone..
Just wanna say, I never had it "so good when I could mine on Bitminter".
Thank you, sirs
Much appreciated.You're more than welcome. Some real quick blocks this morning whilst i was sleeping i could see that once I woke up! Making money in your sleep is priceless

Is it a good idea to turn on auto cash out? I worry i'll get nothing because it subtract the fee of the transaction from my share.

Lucky fast blocks pouring in. Bitcoin price record high. Good times.
Woohoo! And last night I finally got my miners set up to run 24/7 (I think).
November 18, 2013, 09:07:44 AM
Lousy storms and high winds knocked out the power last night for longer than my battery backup could run things for 
Back in action now though! I just need to get through 10 shifts haha

The fact is lots of people use blockchain.info, but we just need to take it's origin notice with a grain of salt.
It's still pretty accurate though isn't it ? say 99% ?

No. Not that accurate. It would be interesting to work out just how accurate it is though.

When you see "relayed by Bitminter" at blockchain.info it just means we relayed the block. That doesn't mean we created the block, it only means the block passed through one of our bitcoin nodes. In a peer-to-peer system like bitcoin, nodes are relaying stuff all the time. The information is utterly useless. What you can read out of this is "Bitminter is using Bitcoin". Great. Thank you, blockchain.info.
If your wallet got hacked and the transaction that stole the coins was relayed by person X: that doesn't mean he stole your coins. It just means he runs a bitcoin node. Don't start threatening him based on some nonsense you saw on blockchain.info. You can trust that data like you can trust random gossip on the interwebs. This example is based on a true story.
For some reason blockchain.info displays this (completely useless) information very prominently on their site and it causes a lot of confusion. Why on Earth would they do this? That, gentle reader, I leave for you to figure out.

Where the lost block 270154 
Yeah, I saw that too. What happened?
If you're referring to blockchain.info tagging a block as coming from BitMinter, here is Doc's recent response:
Blockchain.info has wrongly identified a block at height 269542 as coming from Bitminter. Some miners are already asking about this. It does not go to an address we control and there is no "BitMinter" text in the coinbase.
The block is not from Bitminter and I have no idea what makes blockchain.info think so. Perhaps it was relayed through one of our bitcoin nodes. Note that blockchain.info is very unreliable for identifying who made a block, and as a result their estimates of the hashrates of each pool is also very unreliable.
