Hi Shaun,

1. Do lifetime contracts cover upgrades to hardware? i.e if a new antminer comes out, would only new contracts utilise the new hardware, or would the pool as a whole get upgraded?

2. What is the chance of current lifetime contracts coming back online prior to 30th April and is the maintenance fee guaranteed to stay at $0.28 per T/H? Also, is it known as yet which country associated servers will be migrated to?

Cheers,

madnation

Existing lifetime contracts will will not include hardware upgrades. Only new contracts can take advantage of the cost savings of new hardware.
2. What is the chance of current lifetime contracts coming back online prior to 30th April and is the maintenance fee guaranteed to stay at $0.28 per T/H? Also, is it known as yet which country associated servers will be migrated to?
Our contracts will likely come online much earlier than 30th April. I will email more details to all lifetime contract holders within the next 2 weeks.

Maintenance fee will stay at $0.28 per Th/s.

Servers will be migrated to the USA.

I just wanted to give everyone an update on the miners.
We already paid to have them shipped from China to the USA via air freight.
The cost for that was nearly $300,000 USD.
We then paid for them to ship by truck to a data center we located that should be a reliable long term partner for us.
The cost for this shipping was nearly $30,000
We then had to prepay for a portion of the hosting.
The cost for that was nearly $400,000

We are now waiting for construction to finish at the data center and for them to deploy our miners.
We will continue to keep everyone posted and apologize for the issue caused by China kicking all the miners out.

Thanks for the update and re enabling the contracts ahead of the promised date. As an industry I hope you would be open towards supporting projects where we do not have to rely on centralized problem solvers like yourself. And when the next set of decisions makers where you have moved the present hashing power are ready to take negative actions we have created enough decentralized solutions and decentralized stake holders.

We would much rather underpromise and over deliver rather than the other day around.

Manual withdrawals can take several hours if there are many withdraw requests.

I suggest enabling auto-withdrawal in the settings page if you want to withdraw regularly. Auto-withdrawals are sent at 6AM UTC every day. Transaction fees are lower for auto-withdrawal since we do batching.

You may want to update the "Estimated 24 hour Revenue" calculator that is located under the bar graph in Dashboard. For a 5 TH/s contract, it calculates $4.13 for BTC and $4.08 for BCH. Since the pool came back on line, for my 5 TH/s contract, and with switching to the most profitable coin on, I am getting around $3.05 to $3.45 per day. (I calculated this from the bar graphs in the Dashboard page).

Our calculator is correct for hardware mining (at current mining difficulty and Bitcoin price).

As stated in the calculator, it does not include daily fees for cloud mining.

BCH DOUBLE PAYOUT?...(Autowithdrawal)

Wed Mar 07, 2018 1:14 pm

So I received a double payout from the Daily BCH Auto-withdrawal.....
It will take me a few days to accumulate enough to offset the Negative balance...
I will stick around and do so and not run away with the windfall.

You and me both buddy. This pool pays out too good to cut and run for a measly 200 dollars.

Besides that, my boy Shaun took care of me on the day two BCH blocks were't accounted for. Granted i had to pester him a little bit, but that earned a lot of respect in my eyes.

Poloniex made a bad TX with 9400 of my DGB and the ticket is 50 days old now.
Shaun replied to my messages on the forum, in the email, and made things right.

I'm a loyal miner here. I was quite shocked to see the double output, part of me hoped it was a mistake in my favor, then i saw the negative balance.

If this happened to all the BCH miners, I implore you to stick around and pay it back. You won't make better money with your hashrate anywhere other than the BCH pool here with PPLNS payment method.

As it is right now it is a royal pain to report mining income from this mining pool for tax purposes here in the US. The CSV's provided are not helpful enough in reporting for taxes.

I believe I am supposed to report daily payout in terms of BTC/BCH(for reporting capital gains) and in terms of USD earned(for income tax), except the CSV doesn't report what I get paid, it reports the PPS earned without including associated fee within the same row. So in order for my accounting to be accurate, I must calculate my PPS earned everyday minus the assosciated fees. Would be much easier if that was already done for me and there is no good reason, as far as I'm aware, as to why it's not.

Ultimately what would be the most helpful for us would be to create .csv file that is compatible with accounting websites like bitcoin.tax. Currently, they are incompatible in terms of information provided and needed. It would also be really nice to see what everything's value is in my chosen currency(USD).

Lord knows none of us here like taxes, but can we get any help with this?

Thank you.
