Cryptopia clearly says not to mine directly to the account wallet there, but it sure looks like some are doing so on Nano. I may try later, see what happens. anyone know the minimum payout on Nano?
Well the reason (normally) why u should not mine directly to an exchange is because of the wallet id.
Some coins on an exchange need an wallet address + payment id for deposits.
So in this case (again, normally..) if u can enter ur own ''wallet address''.''payment id'' in ur .bat file or .conf, it should be fine. On some pools u can only use an wallet address and not an payment id, in this case ur coins will never arrive on the exchange.
Why contraband says not to do it, i dont know why.. But.. possibly there is a reason right now for not doing it (i dont know what the reason is, but normally its not any problem as long as u can do what the exchange need (walletaddres+payment id)).
On nanopool i am using my own address and not the cryptopia address.
