mmotes posted in that thread about me deleteing posts.
Below is his post in that thread.
Then a mod deleted the thread
So below his quote is the reply I was typing when the mod deleted the thread.
Guys this thread is hilarious. At the risk of only adding to the babel, I would like to inject some support for the OP, because I really believe there could be one crucial misunderstanding.
>OP thinks 1 minute after the found block reaches "matured" his BTC address should show an UNCONFIRMED transaction of his reward, if the payment were truly automatically sent.
>OP is baffled you cannot understand he is complaining that he "received", or that is probably checked the address on blockchain.info or the like for receipt of, a non dust amount to his BTC address at an interval much larger than 1 minute after maturity.
He would like to know how can this be, are you saying a BTC transaction can be submitted to the mempool but it takes blockchain.info or blocktrail.com hours to register it as an UNCONFIRMED transaction?
Because this has happened to me on Kanopool, the payment did not appear to be automatic 1 minute after maturity, but 24 hours after maturity seems to be the average with a variance of about 1 hour or so, IIRC at least int he last few blocks.
There was one payout that was delayed that I posted about it before it was even delayed, due to the pool wallet server being down.
The rest are sent automatically one minute after they mature.
I manually process the payout before that - but I have about 12-16 hours to do that of course - then queue it to be sent when it matures.
If transaction fees are high, then some sites ignore transactions with low fees.
They don't actually need to know about unconfirmed transactions at all, unless they accept payments with zero confirms.
Only miners/pools need to know about unconfirmed transactions, since they are the ones who confirm them.
Once a transaction is confirmed in a block, everyone in bitcoin needs to know about it and finds out about it when the block is distributed around the net.
The pool payouts are always low fee (or zero fee) transactions.
Relying on a site like blockchain.info, that doesn't adhere to the bitcoin rules, is not advisable.
