Today I was mining with around 500000-750000 Ghps, but my balance was kept at 0 and so did the Unconfirmed balance. I am wondering if this is normal or if it is just a bug...  Embarrassed

Poor impulse control.
Weak. Back when I mined, we were real men -- even the women -- and we had balls of steel. A little variance? Pffft.

Unfortunately, I am getting to the party a little late. I wish I would've joined sooner and now have more than $5000 invested. It's the only way to make it sustainable - a little profit.

Why did you stop mining?

Electricity costs made mining unprofitable. [edit: in my location, that is -- still plenty of places where electricity costs are ok for mining]

My miners have been off the pool for a week or so while I rearrange some things, they will return shortly!

All ~60GHs or so, lol.  Tongue

KanoPool does not use PPS. You can clearly validate that on the pool website right after the welcome statement. https://kano.is/

Yup.  It's PPL5S.  It's also has less than 1% of pool share.  I'm thinking about Antpool ...

I don't feel comfortable discussing the use of a different PPLNS pool in this forum
...
This is the perfect place to discuss it unless you are worried that your thoughts are way outside the mainstream.

...
The "accessible to all" type market has really moved to PPS.
...
I do not feel that your characterization is realistic. What leads you to make that assertion?

I'm on Kano.  PPS is daily, regular payments that do not take a any understanding of the blocks - more like a clock running.  It removes any level of risk or luck.

Well, you said didn't find anything... what is the Hash power you give? i remember finding block only when i was mining with GPU...the early days... where are you now mining?

I had my S3 pointed at it while I was learning.  I don't feel comfortable discussing the use of a different PPLNS pool in this forum, but you can PM me if interested.  

I really wish Bitminter good luck!  I think with a few tweaks it could be bombing.  I really like the GUI, apps and tx fees.  

The "accessible to all" type market has really moved to PPS.  It would take significant VC funds to set up a PPS, but it would be nice to have one with lower fees and included tx fees (even if as a bonus).  

Not sure ... perhaps simply really, really good luck would help, i.e., block after block with low PH.

Congrats on the block find Smiley.  Love to see the small pools finding blocks!

Agreed!

I mined here for a while and didn't find anything, so I switched.  Bitminter was one of the best and I really like the GUI, but I also like seeing more in graphs.  Oh ... and finding blocks  Embarrassed

Try the altcoin section of the forum for mining altcoins

Thank DrHaribo,
 i read very interesting topics... all very clear and no need to ask more there Smiley like here everything is clear thanks for proposal.
But after some days that i tried i saw that is not efficient for Alts with my current configuration.... And i just turn on again some S3 miners (i use 2 psu on each of 650W) psu went of some weeks before...
Of course i connect them also to Bitminter.... i can't recall what was the name of the 1st pool i used to mine with my GPU back in 2012 i think that after some time closed? but anyway after that   , Bitminter is my 1st option for Btc mining !

The fee for sending bitcoin with the "send coins" mechanism on the website has been raised to 0.0004 BTC (it was 0.0001 BTC). This reflects the higher cost of sending bitcoin today.

Remember you can instead send bitcoins using "my account" -> "auto cash out" in the website menu. This is free. The pool pays the fee for you.

The fee for "send coins" can hopefully be reduced again in the future when a bitcoin scaling solution goes in effect and transactions don't clog up the way they do today. Bitminter blocks are voting to activate segwit.

Oops. Announcing BTC blocks through the Yo app recently broke. Now working again.

If you wish to receive a "yo" when we find a block, subscribe to BITMINTED

i run now some days 3 pc on minergate. what your proposal regarding the  reward method. should i use the PPLNS fee of 1% or the PPS fee?

You runs PCs that mine bitcoins? Thats pointless you wont earn enough on either method to get a payout wothin a year.

Greetings, thanks for answer. i use pc with cpu 4 cores each and 4 cores of GPU and i use smart miner sometimes but not for BTC i mine ALTS.

Good thing you dont mine btc woth them. Not quite sure why you are talking about mining alts with your PCs as this is a btc pool.
