Your notebook does not have the hashpower inside it to mine.


You need a miner to mine btc.

Some may attach to the notebook
Some mine alone not needing a pc.

Hello!
Please can anyone tells me:
1. Can I use software miner like cgminer on notebook with antpool?
2. I create account, create 2 subaccounts (almy and almy2), I tryied to mine with both this logins, but on page "Dashboard" (https://v3.antpool.com/dashboard?userId=almy&coinType=BTC&lang=en), writes: "No worker configured yet, please follow the below steps to configure your workers: ..." And I don't understand, what I have to do more?..

Many pools pays more than this. really
So much people choose a giants when you need to look in the middle. Everything is much better there..

Does anyone know if this exact server is good still? (solo.antpool.com:3333)

Ckpool pays the most (0% fee), but its currently taking months to pay due to low hashrate. Remember on this pool you won't necessarily get paid when a block is found, and at the current hash rate its expected to find 1 block every two months on average, so for many this means at least a 4 month wait before seeing the first payment (or longer, depending on queue).

Kano pays on every block found, but takes 0.9% fee, should be finding 5~7 blocks per month. 5nd means slow ramp up/down times which are about a month long (currently).

Viabtc and the other Bitmain related pools have both pps and pplns modes, one taking much higher fees than the other 4% fee vs 2% fee. Given their 3 exa hashrate i fail to see how people bother to use their pps mode, but i guess some can't just manage themselves to save when lucky to pay from that when unlucky, which in such a high hashrate pool takes hours to average itself back into 100%, as opposed to days, months or years in small pools.

But of course everyone is free to choose and pick their favorite pool. Do remember that favoring the larger pools not only make you earn less, you also weaken the Bitcoin network itself.

If all pools magically had the same hash rate, say, 100PH, i would pick CK's. Kano is next best currently, but the lower its hashrate the less attractive it becomes.

how much gear do you have?

there are many good pools and the amount of hash you have can influence where to mine.

For instance I mine 600th at viabtc  I use pps+ and get paid  102 percent  ie  12.5  coins a block  x 1.02 =  12.75 coins each block  the pool keeps the tx fees.

I need to eliminate variance   due to a large power bill  for the 600th of gear.

If power bill means nothing to you due to small gear.

ckpool.org  = small pool slow to hit a block  but you get a good payout

kano.is  = small pool slow to hit a block but you get a good payout so they  are decent


slush has issues           if you shut off the gear  due to power outage or any other reason    you get no credit if they hit a block.



if you have more gear  at least 3 s9's or 40th

 you can try pool.viabtc.com      use pps+ payout

yes , I have already changed my pool to  the slush pool , i dont know much about it  ,bcz i have started mining recently so not much info about who i should trust and which factors really matter  , if there is any useful topic i will be happy if u introduce

Just forget the Antpoo,
and make a more wise choice for your mining pool.

Do you realise that mining here is bad for your profit and bad for Bitcoin?

seems there is problem for some Asian countries  to connect antpool which country are u ?

stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333 jeethm.1 Dead

 i change my miner  to viabtc and evrything works i hhave this problom only with antpool

Bitmain, their sh*tpool & their sh*tclonecoin.....

I always thought they were the enemy of Bitcoin, but now I KNOW they are.

I know that they have been doing that for years now, but after a long period of not being a jerk, it suddenly happens more frequently lately. Considering where they are financially, they could use every possible penny that they generate with mining.

It could be an attempt to halt the number of confirmed transactions because it has been growing rapidly, and an increasing transaction count isn't exactly the best promotion material for their own coin that can't seem to attract any growth at all.

Because they can and do not care the slightest bit about the health of the BTC ecosystem.

They always did that. Anyone that mines at this pool still has an empty block between their ears.

Does anyone know why Antpoo is mining so many empty blocks?

Don't think so. Not so sure what they are up to anymore.
