the bad thing is that this pool is one of the pools that is contributing to the slowness of confirmations by mining empty blocks with bad code..

Did anybody ever have this happen to them I sent the payment and it took over an hour to make the first confirmation. I only have an hour to send it. its marked paid but still says expired now what. I emailed BITMAIN they said just wait a few days for them to fix it but I don't trust this. Its a lot of coins for me to lose. for you guys its nothing for me its a lot. S7 by the way.
He's right. Same thing happened to me. I simply created a ticket at Bitmain Support and they took care of it. It took about 24 hours total for the payment to be confirmed via email. It took another 6 hours for my status in my "Orders" to be changed from "unpaid / unshipped / expired" to "Paid / unshipped / Valid."
I placed my order at 4:59am CST on 11/04/2015.
I emailed them at first they told me......
Dear customer,
Once payment received by Bitmain, we will notify you and confirm payment! For any other issues we will contact you.
Best Regards
BITMAIN
and that's when the btc was already confirmed as paid ! then they emailed me again apologizing there is a glitch in the system everything was corrected and now its valid and green again. The problem is the network or just coinbase is taking over an hour to make the first conformation by that time bitmains system already marked it expired. they should extend the wait time to more than a hour.
p.s bought something with bitcoin on another sight and coinbase or the network took more than an hour again ! at least this sight waited and as soon as conformation hit 1 the sight marked it as paid and shipped it out in 20 minutes I wish bitmain was like that.
fuck, luck by 50%

Anyone have a good technical post on mining pools that do empty blocks.
Here's a good thread that will help explain:

btcguild was my first BTC pool 
Anyone have a good technical post on mining pools that do empty blocks.
I understand it's bad to mine them for the network, but not exactly how it's bad, or how a pool determines if they mine them etc.
Been seeing it posted a lot in various threads but I guess I just haven't found the right post with the right wording to comprehend.

Good job AntPool, continuing to mine absurd numbers of empty blocks and contributing to backlogs on the network! You just mined 2 empty blocks in under 10 minutes. The fact that miners continue to feed you hashpower when you do this shit so often is appalling.
Man, you really need to bring btcguild back up. These Chinese megapools are bad for the btc network. How much does it cost to keep the pool infrastructure up and running? Maybe you can re-open it up here in Canada? Could you PM me some details regarding running costs if you have the time.

I built a thing for this, F2Pool is almost as bad....All the chinese pools do the same shit, and continue to do so even after they caused a fork event. Nice to see you made it easy to visualize just how terrible they are.
Slush is looking better everyday. If I get back into the mining scene again I'll definitely be using a pool that helps us instead of hurting us. Of course, getting back into the mining business means buying from BITMAIN currently....

This happens when the site is overloaded--they _will_ fix it.

I just dust off my old antminner s3 and trying to get working with antpool.
It was not difficult to configure it earlier this year with BTCGuild and other popular mining pools but now nothing happens

Anybody know which ports are for PPS, PPLNS, Solo, etc? I can't find a mapping...
EDIT:
Of course, right after I ask I find it is a setting on the site... That is a different way of doing it, but a good idea...

yeah, looks like the workers are showing up on the dashboard, just no hash yet.
I am waiting for the hash to appear
Thank you
Different pools display stats at different rates, and getting them spun up the first time was always a crap shoot for me. Did you finally get some resolution to this? I am waiting for the hash to appear

Sounds like you got it then... The slowness of the hash showing up had me all screwed up the first time. You can also set up your account as PPS or PPLNS

ok aurel, but in the miners settings what do I put for worker and password?
I put the sub-account name ? eg. vortexz.1 ?

ok I have a sub that is aurel so on my miners config page i have aurel_1 for the miner and password can be anything as most pools are.
