[VERT] Why didn't I get payment for last found block?

7 years ago • updated 7 years ago • 10

Hi, I have been mining for 3 days straight with hashrates ranging from 12MH/s to 60MH/s(different machines) to the same address (VqFgQbKuEV63CNsTddnQjzkVPAXAvkeTfp) . A while back 2 blocks were getting confirmed(844066 and 844151). I received payment for block 844151 but not when 844066 was confirmed even though I have been mining continuously and both blocks had a time difference of only 3 hours. My shares got reset to 0 as well.

What could be the reason except me being out of the PPLNS window because I can assure you that I haven't stopped mining at all(max 5 sec stop to restart miner) since last 18 hours.

I think this was a bug?

Sigh. Every pool has a payout limit. In case of the VTC pool the limit is 0.5 VTC. Your unpaid balance currently stands at 0.473876.

I know i know. By paid I meant my balance.

After block 844066 got confirmed my balance increased to 0.473876VTC but after a couple of hours when block 844151 got confirmed my shares got reset to 0 but my balance did not increase neither did I receive a payout even though I never stopped mining.

Maybe this is related: sometimes the dashboard glitches and my hashrate goes to 0 even though I'm getting yes's in my CMD and my shares are increasing in the dashboard then it goes back to normal after some time.

Correction in OP: 844066 got confirmed and my balance increased but not when 844151 got confirmed.

I beg to differ:

Okay this clears things up. The change was too small and I didn't notice it.

But looking at the shares I don't think that they should be this small.

I think this is the culprit::

I am definitely sharing hashes as can be seen in the CMD window and still the dashboard shows 0.0H/s.

Is this affecting me somehow?

Thanks for your replies btw.

Everytime the pool is restarted for software update (takes less than a second) which happened a couple minutes ago, all miner hashrates get reset. It's not a bug but a caching issue. I'm working on this as we speak. And please do not confuse hashrates with shares. Hashrate is a display feature, shares is what counts for payments and they are not affected by this at all.
