Am I right in thinking that the dashboard barchart for "my revenue" is a day behind the listed transactions? (If so, it's a small bug, but thought I'd note it).

I just fixed this. Thanks for letting me know.

Awesome. Thanks, Shaun!

I just changed the unprofitable days limit from 7 days to 60 days.

In order for a contract to end, the daily fees need to be equal or higher than revenue for 60 consecutive days.

On days where a contract is unprofitable, we will reduce the daily fees to prevent you from getting a negative balance. In other words, the net payout for that day is zero, not negative.

We count profitability per contract. If you have other contracts that are profitable, those will continue to return a profit while the unprofitable contract will have a net zero payout.

That's a great change! I was worried to see Bitcoin dip for a week or two because of some random mainstream media news or an exchange hack and have my lifetime contracts cancelled. This should now be prevented, thanks.

Don't worry about bitcoin dips, fam. Just a chance to fill up your stash

I just launched our referral/affiliate system. Check it out in the "Referral Program" page! (see screenshot below)

- Buyers who use your code will get 2% free lifetime pre-order hashrate.
- You will get 2% free lifetime pre-order hashrate from 1st level referrals.
- You will get 1% free lifetime pre-order hashrate from 2nd level referrals.

Currently, the referral program is only for lifetime pre-order contracts. We may add referral bonuses to other contracts later.

I just read this: https://www.bitcoin.com/public-service-announcement
So the segwit2x is scheduled for November, right?

I really hope this won't happen, but I'd hate to see my hashpower targeted towarts Bitcoin Crashtrash (BCC).

Yes, segwit2x is scheduled for November.

You can chose whether you want to mine on BTC or BCC. It's your hashpower so we'll let you chose.

Ok, that's great. So this sentence "but in the unlikely event that the 2MB block size increase portion of Segwit2x fails to activate, Bitcoin.com will immediately shift all company resources to supporting Bitcoin Cash exclusively." is just hot air? Or does it effect everything except for user hashpower including CM contracts?

Ok, awesome. Sorry for even doubting your integrity.
Right now I am ultra sceptical towards Bitcoin Cash. Maybe I am wrong, not an expert after all. I just can't see what good it can do to BTC if BTC itself manages to solve its current scaling issues.

I've made several updates to the pool.bitcoin.com estimation tool here:
http://www.greywyvern.com/code/javascri ... itcoincalc

Changes made:
- Add more descriptive comments in the Javascript
- Plans must be unprofitable for a full 60 days before they are canceled
- Add a reset button for the three "constant" values so a page refresh isn't needed
- Set maximum time tool will estimate to 10 years (3650 days)
- Various small aesthetic tweaks

Enjoy!

Seems to work great. I was just about to ask if you'd consider adding the option to calculate the preorder plans. You would need to calculate the difficulty based on previous changes at the start date and the extimated price at the start date to make that possible.
Obviously this would be a very speculative calculation but still more accurate than pure guessing.

Very interesting, I played with some numbers, if Zwokis comment of an expected difficulty increase of less than 3% is acurate, there are some very high ROIs for lifetime contracts possible. Still, if you think about the fact that these would be running for 4 years+ it's of course a huge gamble.

BTC will fork August 1st 12:20UTC please advise for those BTC keep with Bitcoin.com Pool, after August 1st, will there be same amount of BCC distribute to us ...

Please withdraw your coins before August 1st if you want your BCC as soon as possible.

I hope to distribute BCC to our users after August 1st, but it may take some time to set up. We are very busy at the moment implementing BCC mining on our pool. We want to let you chose what coin you want to mine.

I guess (distribute BCC) applies to only to only our loose BTC in the pool, and not the existing contract values...?!

Yes, that's right. You can only mine one coin at a time per contract.

Hi - is it possible and is anyone contemplating moving their BTCs from Coinbase over to our bitcoin.com mining wallet until this BCC is worked out?

[GreyWyvern]

Hi - is it possible and is anyone contemplating moving their BTCs from Coinbase over to our bitcoin.com mining wallet until this BCC is worked out?

The only way you would be able to do that is by using your BTC from Coinbase to buy a cloud mining contract. I'm pretty certain you can't simply deposit BTC in your pool.bitcoin.com account.

Instead, download a wallet and move your BTC from Coinbase to it. Bitcoin.com has released their own wallet app recently which works well.

[theveryfirstbtc]

Is there a historical graph of bitcoin.com's hashrate from since it started to now or something like that? I remember it growing very fast in the charts of hashrate voting power

[powayal126]

I will do that. Thank you very much GreyWyvern!

I can only advice anyone NOT to use exchanges and/or webwallets to store your (Bit)coins. Use a wallet where you hold your private keys. I'd recommend Electrum. Maybe not the prettiest but it's available for almost any OS, open source, been out there for years, super stable and provides even advanced features if you need them.
In the case of a fork you will always be able to access both chains as long as you hold your private keys.

I'm making the assumption that if we are doing a "wait and see" thing then it's pretty safe to leave the rewards where they are for the moment.

Nice to see referral program. Can you do some program also if invite private miners join to pool or change from another?


Can I pre choose what chain I want mine? Hope it is possible. How fast difficulty change in bitcoin cash to 'normal'?

We are setting up some servers shortly for you to pre-choose the chain you want to mine. I hope to have it up in a day or two.

How long lifetime set up can mining if price go up and down first few days in way it looking unprofitable for 1 day or so? There is many different situation possible until price will come stable but still like to mine Bitcoin cash so early what possible.

On a related note, I've just offered a $10K bounty for a fork of the Bitcoin.com wallet that supports Bitcoin Cash in addition to Segwit2X:
alternative-clients/10-000-usd-bounty-f ... 36319.html

Awesome Roger,

i will look forward to that update in the wallet. In the mean time where is the switch on the pool so i can move my miners and my hashrate to Bitcoin Cash? The fork is in a couple of days, and I don't want to reconfigure all of my miners to ViaBTC so I can hash on Bitcoin Cash immediately when the fork happens.

Just as an FYI: ViaBTC already has the BCC pool running, and right now my R4 is on the BCC Pool, mining BTC. The second the fork happens, my R4 will be mining BCC. I would like to do the same thing with my S9s on pool.bitcoin.com.

I realize and believe that the bitcoin.com pool is the best one, and I _want_ all of my hash on your pool, but this is something that is important to me and my mining business, so this feature is one I would very much like to see.

We will have a BCC pool server online before the hard fork. Just need to do a bit more testing before public release.

Will we be able to split existing mining contracts to accommodate BCC mining?

Yes, we plan to implement this feature in the future.
