BitMinter to take 1% fee - still most profitable of top 10 pools

BitMinter has been zero fee for a long time. Unfortunately this is not a sustainable way to run a pool because most miners set their donation to 0%.

I've been mining on bitminter for several months now and I can't recommend it enough - okay sometimes the pool gets unlucky but sometimes it's also really lucky - it all balances out. With a lot of new hashpower coming online, the variance is also the lowest it's been. Out of all the shares I've submitted I just calculated that my stale/reject rate is 0.076% which is pretty good.

Thanks to DrHaribo for maintaining the pool.

BitMinter to take 1% fee - still most profitable of top 10 pools

BitMinter has been zero fee for a long time. Unfortunately this is not a sustainable way to run a pool because most miners set their donation to 0%.

We will be moving to a 1% fee on saturday 20th of april.

We are still the most profitable of the big pools, due to low fee, paying out namecoins (6% extra income), paying out income from transaction fees (1% to 2% extra income) and being safe from pool hopping.

What happens on the 20th of april:
- 1% mining fee takes effect (BTC and NMC)
- Prepay perk cost reduced to 1.5% (from 2%)
- Users with prepay on will have their donation reduced by 0.5%. Set it back up afterwards if you like.
- New users will have a 1.5% default donation (rather than 2%)

There will also be more perks coming, but I can't promise any timeframe on that.

Can we get a filter to see just the cash outs? By currency (as was suggested earlier) would be great too!

Yeah, it's on my TODO list.

Currently over 1000 new users every day and a flood of emails with newbie questions. That's taking a lot of my time to handle.

If some experienced miners can donate a few minutes of their time to answer questions from newbies in the IRC channel (#bitminter on freenode) that would free up some time for me to improve the pool instead of answering the same questions over and over. Tongue

Hello

I changed my video card from a Nvidia to an AMD (7970) on XP SP3 and now BITMINTER doesn't reconize my card, no OPEN CL. Angry

AM I to understand after some recherch, that AMD doesn't support OPEN CL on XP anymore ? Huh

Any way to make it work ? I don't whant to pass to SEVEN on that computer.

The AMD SDK used for mining doesn't exist for WinXP. Check the info on the AMD site.

I had to upgrade to Vista/7/8 when I went from the 5xxx series to 7970s.

YES I did uninstall the nvidia driver and install the AMD driver for Xp 32 bits

Power down correctly each time I wrote power down.

yeah below is slow and tedious but may work.

1) power down wait 60 seconds

2)make sure only the amd card is in machine .

3)boot uninstall again nvidia first if it say nothing detected power off machine. wait 60 seconds

4)boot try again if it still says undetected. power off machine. wait 60 seconds

5)boot uninstall the amd power off the machine wait 60 seconds

6) boot install the amd power off the machine

7) boot check your java install if good go to bitminter and try.

sometimes the drivers don't fully uninstall and or install if you boot with a restart. full power down works.

thanks

So it's supposed to work with Xp ?

Just a guess, but did you:
1. Uninstall the old Nvidia drivers?
and
2. Install the AMD drivers?

Who is the "testtest" user clocking near 900GH/s?

My guess is it is BFL. MY next guess is that it is their big rig that they were pre selling at 30k USD. it was supposed to do 1.5Th not .9Th.

I would have thought BFL would mine at Eclipse (Inaba) or Eligius (Luke).

I would love to use this pool but the amount of login problems I get is unreal can it not just be a simple register?

Getting timeouts? Which OpenID provider are you using?

Thanks for the wonderfull job with the site and the miner. Grin

PLEASE add LTC support as soon as possible Roll Eyes

Nice to hear you like BitMinter.

LTC support is much requested lately. I'll take a look at LTC after I finish some important BTC features. I'm currently working on support for BFL ASICs in the miner.

I'm getting a new PC next week which as 2 x 7950's.
I take it I'll have to buy a dummy plug for one of them?

no plugs needed any more for over a year now. I have most my cards running nothing to connected to them at all Wink

Some long time ago dummy plugs where needed, not any more

I just realized that as well. Sad

Will keep a lookout for bitminter when they decide to implement litecoin support.
As of now all my equipment has gone over to solomining litecoins. but what a hassle compared to bitminter!=)

Bitminter will be my goto pool for litecoins!

One other question, it is to my understanding that it is not possible to use fpga/asics for mining litecoins due to bitcoins is sha256 and litecoin is something else.
Can this issue be overcommed? (hope not since all my rigs are gpu...) did a count earlier and found out i have 15 cards running.

Half the reason everyone is switching to LTC is because ASICs (not sure about FPGA) cannot do scrypt things very well, if at all.

The other half is that LTC trust increases as long as more people are switching and LTC community becomes stronger and stronger each day = TRUST. BTC community is loosing miners which can affect us badly in long term period
