I don't think there is manual payout and 0.05 is minimum so you got to earn it first...

If you want a controlled payout (at certain time) - then set auto payout to large amount and when you ready to get payment lower it to the amount you have.

How can I manually start a payout on slush?

Hey guys I'm new to the pool. Mining with a GTX 650 at a whopping 14MH/z. Just getting to grips with everything and thought I'd stop by and said hey!

while im not expecting to make mega money as i understand gpus are goin the way of dinos
(always my life in when something changes )

im hoping my new gpus will at least earn me enough to break even by years end  i only need to earn 10btc

Sounds about right. There is a bit of variance you have to expect - you need to average your earnings over at least a week - preferably two - before you can make a really good comparison. To make it simple you should only average earnings for a given difficulty.


Good work!

There is a way, but I don't have the technical knowledge to implement it at the moment.

I am busy writing automation scripts that will garner more Bitcoins via trading than by using my ASIC miner. I just finished the first few rounds of testing and the results are promising. I expect that I should be able to supplement the BTC gain/loss due to increasing difficulty.

It is hard to say without using a calculator.

I would say before today it was generally .47 to .41 per block. Each block took about 1.5 to 1 hour to solve on Slush Pool.

Some blocks take longer than others so it's pretty hard to say. The graphs say I was earning about 7BTC on March the 22nd (or thereabouts) and right now it is between 4.3~to~6 BTC per day.

It seems to largely depend on pool luck if I understood correctly. The Avalon ASIC is my first entry into BTC mining. I am a newbie. I just noticed the stats on one page say that the miner has solved 4 blocks since I started.

Pool hashrate doesn't matter. Network difficulty does. Difficulty increased about a week ago by ~ 14% - was your percentage drop in earnings about the same?

is it not more profitable to solo at this point with an asic?

I am an ASIC and I've seen my rewards shrink by quite a bit. The current Pool GH/s is being shared among many more users than normal. At the current rate I am only seeing about .25 BTC per hour.

Well that's too bad   I was mining at .001 per block with 2 GPUs.  Stopped that.  Be happy that you are earning ~$55 an hour.

Edit: Currently using a difficulty setting of 512.

I snuck in 8 shares on the 2s block for 0.08btc, that's like $18/2s or $129600 per hour, lol.

I have .02 BTC and .001 NMC.

Setup my miner on LTC now and dont want to mess with it since it is working.

This seems to be my issue but I am NOT using GUI miner I am doing this command line:

"C:\Users\Liquid Silver\Dropbox\Hashing\guiminer\miners\Coin\coin-miner.exe" -u Galaxy -p 1234 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

Also tried: -o stratum+tcp://api-stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

Network disturbances don't make you a pool hopper. To pool-hop and benefit from it, you need to mine strategically and requires specialised mining proxies. Intermittent network problems won't make you earn more than you're due. The implementation is fine.


Pool hopping isn't stealing, it's just maximising the value of each share you submit. Under fair reward methods this is not possible. Under a pure proportional reward method, you can increase your earnings by a very large amount, and in the limit fulltimers at such a pool would lose about 43% of their expected share value. Here at Slush's pool, the losses to pool hoppers are mitigated somewhat and so fulltime miners only lose one or two percent to pool hoppers.

ive been mining at 120mhash/s for 3 days and am at unconfirmed .03 so not that long to get to .05 if you leave it crunching,

still a little shocked at some of these quick rounds im guessing asic is coming into play

LOL

Just realized that the 10s block was my best reward for the day. Almost 10x the average.

I am now having problems on 2 miners (1 Cg-miner, 2 CPU miners) across 2 machines (I am running 17)

One machine is just a CPU Miner (G) is blocked
One Machine is a CPU GPU miner (L) both Coin-miner or Cg-miner are blocked

Then Suddenly (after 5 hours) G11

Tested ping on all of these computer and there are no issue pining the remote server.

The reason I don't want to dig into this is because I'm not a pool hopper and I just get some network disturbance from time to time, and if his intelligent scheme can not recognize this, that is a bad implementation, no need to dig more

I've been using this pool from the start(2011), but just recently I discovered this problem, how do you differentiate this from pool stealing?

The pool would go bancrupt from transaction feeds if it was set lower
