Topic: Can I mine directly to bittrex? (Read 2062 times)

Depends on how the pool does payouts.  If the pool keeps a hot wallet and pays you at a certain threshold then yes you can use an exchange wallet address.  If the pool does coinbase transactions (which is actually rare outside of bitcoin) then you are better off not using an exchange wallet.  For suprnova everything I ever mined I used an exchange address for payouts (bittrex or polo mostly).  I am not familiar with ethermine.

Since there is an exchange called coinbase let me clarify that a coinbase transaction refers to what address or addresses get paid from the coins in a newly generated block.  Most commonly a pool will always send newly generated coins to the same pool owned address and then pay miners from that wallet address.  But they don't have to.  A new block can send the newly generated coins to any number of addresses and some pools pay miners that way.  Sometimes exchange wallets are not setup to receive those kind of transactions.

Also though, if the pool pays lots of little payouts, exchanges don't usually want those.  Check the deposit requirements for the specific coin on the exchange.  Sometimes they won't credit your account on the exchange of you are getting deposits below a certain threshold.  Those dust payments require higher fees to consolidate so exchanges don't usually like that.

Bump.
