Hi,
I was mining on ethpool.org with a rig of 35Mh/s. I got to 37-38% of the credits needed to reach the top and then I noticed that the percentage was dropping. Now is about 36%.
I decided to change pool, because I was afraid that I would never reach 100%:
What can I do? Have I lost the work? My miner had been working for 3-4 months before I stopped it.
Best regards,

Now, if you can improve your running speed, then you will reach the finish line faster.
I have just 37-38 Mh/s....
The problem is that I have the feeling that small miners earn less that they could on a different pool because big miners tend to be paid before when the difficulty is smaller.
I think that that way of mining would be fair only if the difficulty stayed constant. I cannot demonstrate this now because I don't know how the pool really works...
Does somebody know?
that means that miners on ethpool with an hash rate above the average earn more than they should at the expenses of the others miners (that earn less).
So, given that, if all miners were rational and informed, then nobody should be mining on that pool.
I'll leave the demonstration to you.
Best regards.
It's a little misleading, because if you are new to this and you join this pool it's not that clear that this can happen. You give them all this free work with no hope of getting anything in return but you don't realize it until you have wasted a lot of time and money.
Is there a way of cashing in or trading these credits? Maybe pool them with other people in the same situation until it reaches the limit? I don't think so because you have your own account and can't merge accounts with others. Am I right?
Now I think I will switch pools and/or mine something else.
But when difficulty shoots-up, that was when price reaches from $0.9 to $10, I still stayed until it reaches $20 and I switched to ethermine.org.
At that time when price reach $20, I can only earn when mining for 2 months and I made sure to claim my reward before switching to other mining pool.
ethpool is to those who have high hashratse, maybe 200MHs above and its worth to mine on this pool.
I'm in the same situation, stuck between 50-60% of credits (I've 250mH/s), worst is that the ethospool service desk are not helping at all to transfer the credits. I'm sending them clear questions about how to fill their form and they're not solving them...
What did anyone of you in the end?
Thanks!
