wow this is a first for me (user temporarily banned) after every share. looks like to me i've been getting shares and am not getting credit for them. i'd like to know why i was banned, my rig is mediocre at best.
User temp banned is normally too many rejects in a short space of time. Can happen when we're mining really fast coins, amongst other things. Make sure you aren't submitting stales as the pool doesn't pay out on them, and I think it could be a factor if you submit a shitload.
Thanks UKGunner. So, based on the last few posts, it is normal that I have some balances that have been 'stuck' under 'unexchanged' and 'confirmed exchanged,' correct?
This is normal for hashcows. Those balances don't reflect every coin in the system, due to the way some coins are manually traded. I generally ignore those balances and just pay attention to the important one, what ends up in the actual balance after each payout.
Then why mine those coins if there is no liquidity on them. After 12 hours or 2 days the price might drop by half and our mining time was wasted.
I will wait but something doesn't seem right about this pool. If it was profitable, then it would have a higher hash-rate.
It's rare to get completely stuck with coins but it can happen. There are checks in place as part of the algorithm to decide whether the market depth exists to successfully trade out, but shit happens. If you're not happy I suggest going elsewhere rather than spreading your fud in the thread. The pool has been going since last year, with many miners who have stuck with it since the beginning. Perhaps we're all fucking idiots? Or perhaps we've found it to be as profitable as any other, and often more so..
Usual disclaimer - I don't speak for the pool or work for them, I'm just a user.
