Antpool use LIGHTNING NETWORK?

Not sure that makes sense. Lightening is for off-chain transactions... and besides, Lightening isn't really production yet.

Lightening is when the baby's head engages during pregnancy usually around the 36th week of gestation.

The lightning network on the other hand is in production, heavily in use already and has thousands of nodes. You are confusing minimal app support for it with its production ready status.

As for this pool, it has absolutely nothing to do with the lightning network.

Yep, just say no to antpoo! Slush and kano are far better options.

im interesting to join antpool with 390-400 Th/s

What would you suggest ? What are the rewards for it

Now days im getting 0.02332671

When choosing a pool, don't fall for the BIGGER is better motto, or daily payouts of .xxxx amount. People have been conditioned into
thinking this way about pools when mining. With AntPool, people see familiarity from the name Ant, and Bitmain, and instantly think
it's a good choice. That is, until they do some research on What They Actually Pay Miners, and The effect Bitmain's Corporate pools have on Bitcoin. This is true of most of the BIGGER is BETTER pools. Read through the link below, to understand some of the Hidden information people are misinformed about. I will not sway your decision where to mine, but I will try to inform you on some Key things to look for. Goodluck!!!

Last post on this: No! The 170% lucky pool could go to 190% and the 80% luck pool could go to 60%. ITS RANDOM!!!! The chances of finding a block ARE NOT affected by prior luck. PERIOD.

Hahahaha!!! ccgllc, you sir, have fallen into the "just my 2 cents can of worms"!!! I've posted screen shots, proved my point was
backed with truthful evidence, and debated until the Mod deletes MY posts, but never got to the bottom of the can!!!

Just to pull things back on topic, if you mine at Antpool, you're getting robbed!!!

P.S. Bitmain is killing Bitcoin!!!

What i mean is that it was at a 170% luck. So, changing your pool to another pool with below 80% luck, should mean u gain something because that currently high 170% lucky pool will not be so lucky next and the low 80% luck pool will gain some luck next.

I have read that some people do it manually. Not sure how well it works lol

Btw, do u think a program that automatically switches the S9 from a currently higher luck pool to a currently lower luck pool, would give some extra money?

You do understand that a pools luck can change in a fractions of a second right? Its not a THING, it has no MEMORY, its 100.000000000% RANDOM LUCK. The moment you change from an "unlucky" pool, it could find the next block.

Short answer: no.

Yeah but in general it doesnt always do so. There is a wide gap of 70% gap for quite a few hours between last 10 blocks and last 50 blocks on slushpool now. It will go back to near 100% eventually.

Hmmm noted

Actually, it DOES do so. The only way for a pool to go from a historical 70% luck back to average 100% luck is for it to run at over 100% luck for awhile. e.g. 70% for 2 weeks + 130% for 2 weeks = 100% for 4 weeks; more or less.

I mean put 1 miner on another pool for a week or 2 just to test its returns against all your other miners in another pool.

Can do a comparison on returns then

Your missing my point: All pools have random luck. That luck averages out over a period of something like 250-1000 blocks to approximately 100% - as expected. Using the optimistic 250 number, if your Slushpool and find a dozen blocks a day, that is 20 days. If your Kano and find a block every couple of days, that is something like 500-750 days.

You CAN NOT compare returns over a period of a week or two and have a statistically valid result.

What you can do is run the math and figure out which will pay out better over a year or so.

U cant use it for kano as their variance is too high. I am aware of luck but I didnt know the amount of blocks slushpool gets,etc. I guess comparing antpool against slush over a month or another suitable period is better.

As moderator adviced at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--3278191 , I crosspost my question here:

Quote

I'm NiceHash user (I buy hashpower) and want to mine using antpool.com

Nicehash's minimum difficulty requirement for SHA256 algo is 1,000,000 (10^6), but default pool's mining.set_difficulty is at 4096..32768 time-to-time

I tried to use various combinations of worker's password (d=1000000, md=1000000), but it was helpless.
I searched whole Internet and found https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/4619 - there is advice to revert bitmain's/antpool support
Support still keeps silence.

I ask you to advice how to adjust SHA256 minimal difficulty on antpool

Thanks a lot!

Update: Issue solved, big thanks!

What he said. It's not about the returns today, it's the returns over a longer period of time.
