Has the payout threshold changed?

this problem solved.thanks

Does your browser have a proxy plugin? It will guide you to search for a proxy IP, maybe you should use another browser to search your IP address, such as Microsoft Edge.

it doesn’t show any hint, i have been mining to that address about 1 month ago

nop, no proxy. I tried diferent browsers, reboot the router of the internet, reboot the worker and nothing

if we add polygon integration meta wallet on are pool the found we have already inside are pool will deleted or all transfer in new wallet polygon and we will able to manual whitdraw the old etherium we have in are pool .someone told me the old etherium we have inside are pool will deleted and pool start from begining and we cant get it back all etherium will be gone,
im hopefully waiting the hive os answer this replay and we get all clear mind and fix this issue im do really like the hive os comunity and hoping we grow so nice and easy .

how much will cost 80 gas price if we do manual 0.1 eth

Hold up!! The option to get paid faster is on the new wallet that will be created in Metamask not on our existing miner wallet setups that are inflight ? Am I wrong? I’m mining ETH to a Coinbase wallet. If I change the address to Metamask all my inflight accumulation will stop on the Coinbase address.

I can see what Waqas is saying. I have a couple of wallet addresses and one takes 60 days to hit 0.1 and now will take 120 days.

This is an arbitrary change and benefits HIVEOS only. There should be more warning about this and at least keep the 0.1 with a grace period so people can adjust without losing money.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Call me Ken.

if you’re using the coinbase wallet, there is no need for metamask as coinbase wallet supports wETH as well.

if you’re mining to coinbase exchanges deposit wallet, then you are correct, you cannot use that wallet for polygon withdrawal as you dont have the keys to it, coinbase does. you can withdraw on polygon straight to it for free above .005 eth.

and if it took you 60 days to reach .1 eth to get your payout before, you will reach the new min payout for manual withdraw (you pay gas fee if mainnet, or free on polygon) in 3 days, so no need to worry about it taking 120 days to reach .2 eth unless you really dont want to spend ~$1.50-$3 in gas fees to manual withdraw.

so if we do manual withdraw gas pay 0.1 eth we only lose 80 gas fee (1.50-$3) price? or we will lose more that when we exchange are eth to another coins? hive os is so bussy never answer the custumers

Gas can be seen here.
You can actually lower the gas limit.

Manual transfers can set the gas lower, such as 40 25 15…
If you use polygon, a side chain, your metamask wallet gets weth, and hiveon pays for this step. But if you want to transfer to an exchange, your exchange wallet does not support weth, you need to convert weth to eth, pay a fee, maybe matic, and then transfer from metamask to the exchange through the eth mainnet, and pay another fee , ethereum gas.
In fact, using polygon to transfer to an exchange requires two fees, unless your exchange supports weth, only one fee is required.
Since you have to pay fees, why not just manually trade, transfer eth directly to the exchange, and pay for the gas yourself through the Ethereum mainnet.

First, I think that HiveON could have really done a much better job announcing the pending change to the payout method/system given that the title of the blog post ONLY says: “Polygon Integration and manual payout options have been added”.

Therefore; if you weren’t interested in neither Polygon nor the manual payout option, you wouldn’t necessarily click on that link to find out that the “base”, automatic mainnet payout method has ALSO changed as well.

I think, instead, the title of that blog post could have been changed to something along the lines of “Mainnet payout minimum raised from 0.1 ETH to 0.2 ETH, Polygon integration, and manual payout options have been added.”

That way, the first part of that blog post applies (and notifies) EVERYBODY.

Afterall, why bother having the Blog section at all if HiveON is only going to be dependent on Facebook, group, Discord, and Telegram for announcements?

Second, this change would’ve made more sense to have been implemented when EIP-1559 came in back in August of last year when everybody else was moving to this type of a system. Ethermine moved to this back then, so I don’t really understand why it took HiveON nearly 8 months before they realised that they needed to do the same thing (albeit Ethermine doesn’t cover the transaction fees for mainnet payouts the way that HiveON does).

Gas price varies based on network volume. You set the max you’re willing to pay when requesting a payout, if the amount is higher than the current gas fee, the transaction goes through. Hiveos isn’t an exchange, so that depends where you trade and what your fees are for trading.

In fact, Hiveon has set the threshold to 0.2 and will pay less gas, because people want to get eth at 0.1 or earlier, people need to pay for the gas themselves.
This is business.
People are more flexible and hiveon pays less. I think it’s a win-win.

We implemented the .1 eth payout after eip1559, and currently we’re the only pool that covers gas fees at any level anymore. If you want us to cover gas fees, mine to the .2 threshold, if you want your eth sooner, you can manually withdraw for free with polygon or if you cover gas on mainnet. Mainnet is expensive compared to polygon, so we’re encouraging people to use polygon as it’s faster and free :slight_smile:

It is a win win, people just see change and think bad :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t feel like I won anything. I was expecting a payment in a few days and now it is a couple of weeks. I had to search out why there was a change instead of being notified by email. Maybe this is a win for hive, so congrats I guess. The free transfer was the only reason I kept mining here, even though my results are lower than whattomine shows I should get and the constant down time of earnings reporting(which seems shady to me). I will rethink my mining in the next week because I feel like I have been the loser in this deal.

If you want to stay up to date on new updates or changes, we post them all regularly on a variety of platforms, you can opt in to as many as you’d like if you want. Discord, Twitter, Facebook page, Facebook group, telegram, reddit and our blog. Same way we’ve been posting updates for years.

You still have the free transfer at .2 eth. Or anytime after .005 eth if you use the polygon network (we cover fees for both) plus the option to get your eth on the mainnet if you pay gas fee (typically $1.50-$4) as soon as .005 eth as well. We encourage people to use the polygon network for payments as it’s cheaper and faster for everyone.

I thought that it had always been 0.1 ETH for the payout threshold even before the implementation of EIP-1559.

This is true.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that transfers OUT of the Polygon L2 network still has fees and some exchanges does not allow you to sell ETH to a fiat currency directly from Polygon.

(Different countries may have different exchanges with different rules.)

Since the implementation of EIP-1559, I’ve seen that the rate of ETH earnings fall around 28% (initially) and about 50% between the day before the implementation of EIP-1559 'til now. (I used to be able to hit the 0.1 ETH automatic payout threshold weekly, and now it’s about every 10-14 days, and with the change to 0.2 ETH automatic payout threshold, the automatic payout will happen approximately once every month.)

The payout has been fixed at .1 for a long time but pre 1559 we auto paid out small unpaid balances once per week/month depending on the amount on inactive wallets. Post 1559 we removed the auto payout for small amounts and the only option was the .1 threshold, didn’t mean it was brand new, but you could get paid out at less pre 1559.

anytime you’re transferring crypto there’s going to be a fee, the best option really depends what you’re trying to do with it, exchange/sell/trade/hold.

If your exchange supports wETH then the total fee to move your .005 hiveon pool balance to say crypto.com exchange to sell/trade etc would be around 1-4 cents and the transactions are near instant.

Now if you’re trying to swap for usdt on defi then yeah, you’ll have to pay gas fees.

More options = more better, you just need to leverage the best option for your goals. Crypto is all about options and features, pick what works best for you.
