I was mining here however since the end of the thread looks bleak for the site, I stopped.. WHo knows, maybe they are "stealing" rewards???
nobody is stealing rewards. if you mine with a legit address that starts with a L the reward is auto paid to you.
the issue is the M address are not legit and are ignored but nothing tells you about it on the main site.
It's helpful if you know what you're talking about before making silly statements. Addresses that start with an L are known as Legacy addresses. Addresses that start with M are *not* illegitimate or wrong... as a matter of fact, plenty of blocks are mined directly to M addresses all the time.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ltc/block.dws?1573684.htmThere's a block showing you that there's nothing illegitimate with "M" addresses. Those addresses exist because Litecoin created them with an upgrade to keep from overlapping with BTC when their addresses were similar.
The reason it appears to be "theft" (not my words by the way) is that the pool operator has known about this and has done ***zero*** to inform his miners. When the block is mined and swallowed up by the pool and there was no prior indication that this would happen, it feels like you've been robbed. I know because it happened to me. I updated my address after having mined no fewer than 50 blocks on that pool. There is zero support even though there is verifiable proof of whose funds those really are.
It's ok...
www.zergpool.com has a 0.5% fee for *all* coins (including DOGE which TBDice charges 5% on rewards), including LTC, has a solo option built into the command line, and can even support a party mode... and it doesn't matter if you use a non-legacy address. The pool Op (Pinpin) has had the pool for years and years and can be easily communicated with via Discord if there ever is a problem. TBDice hasn't seen any real hashing power in 2 months. Sure they find blocks... but they find maybe one a day, most times it's over multiple days. People don't want to risk their rewards with a shysty operations.
