Is there an option, or any plans to have a pool option to payout in BitShares, instead of BitUSD?  I realize the BitUSD can be sold for BitShares, but if you're converting BitShares into BitUSD for paying the miners, it's likely some would prefer to not have it converted and remain as BTS.

It is something I'm exploring in potential partnership with the likes of metaexchange. Miners could use the password field in the stratum protocol to specify how they would like to be paid... i.e. BTS, BitUSD, BitSilver etc...
+5% love Love LOVE this idea!

Using crypto miners to mine physical gold and silver....... +5%


BOOOM!!        +5%

Just means I'll use the internal BitShares Asset Exchange... to buy BitUSD

If you guys need a new source of bitUSD post BTER, metaexchange now has a bitUSD market (courtesy of Rune / Riverhead) with a decent spread. Shoot me a PM if you'd like help using our API?

Done... and great work with metaexchange...

AuxPOW is on the roadmap... But we also need more hash to allow litecoin/doge mining to be profitable within the payout windows so it's not at the top of the list yet...

And I've never used a Zeus miner - is there a cgminer build, maybe try that and also PM me your BTS key and I'll have a look in the pool logs to see if I can see any messages that might help.

Sounds good.

I finally got bfgminer to play nice with the pool, all appears to be working well so far. Received first payout today, thanks!

If anything, we'd likely add sha256 support first...

Any update on this?  I have some SHA hashes to send this way when the day comes.  Love the pool!

I would like to point some SHA your way too

How do you source your bitUSD?

Currently from Bter.com ... https://bter.com/trade/BTC_BITUSD


So, the Bter "hack" - how is this affecting the minebitshares pool?

Just means I'll use the internal BitShares Asset Exchange... to buy BitUSD

Does this effect mining profit as BitShares still has wide spreads and low liquidity?

Tried nicehash.
Mined scrypt with 10$ for 4 hours got 6 BitUSD back.
I just finished mining x11 for 10 hours with 7$ ...lets see what i get out. :D

Interested in what price you paid for your orders? BTC/GH/Day?  as there will be a price for NiceHash/Westhash where you will be profitable...
With scrypt 0.23...i tried lower offers but it didnt get picked up by any miners.
And i just recieved the x11 mining ....7 dollars in 7 BitUSD out  :D.

I guess you have to be very patient to find the right time to buy hashing power and also compare it to the rest of the market.

x11 is more profitable than scrypt.  Go x11.
