correct

Steve- No this is not rental service. my own physical miners through stratum proxy.

no. was a=x11 d=1

crazyq3 name on account. have many blocks in stats. but balance not add coins

I think there are some x11 coins that are not sending the latest blocks to the server, causing stales and lost blocks

we’re investigating now

ok . i wona back miners. do it plz

Steve- i hope this did not happen, i "played" with 20 GH 80% of past 24 hours here

if i compare current balances with past few days, it does not look like any x11 revenue has been assigned, as it is very similar to Scrypt only that i was using until yesterday evening.

no, all blocks weren’t lost

there are a few coins

we’ll adjust balances if it does turn out some money was lost

for now, I suggest not using that huge amount of hashrate until the investigation is finished

hope not errylium, smartcoin, and centurion

those were most paayable on x11 today

i got 0.15 $ from 1800 Mh/s

that does seem odd

yeah, thanks for suggestion. will leave some just to follow up

ok

the one miner is fine, no need to have the rest there until we fix this problem

ok i will add now 1

1 now work

900 mh /s

and Total earnings empty too

still investigating

will get back in a few minutes

Long day huh Steve?

Users can be tough with money at stake...

Too many coinking.io pools out there in the past - lots of miners feel burned one way or the other.

Have to say though that they guy who mentioned that the X11 share rewards don’t seem to be counting looks right.

rootdude wrote: Long day huh Steve?

Yep.

Looking into this x11 problem now, we think we have it identified

It’s worth it... you should be excited - this is one hell of an achievement

Miner now work but Total earnings 18.04 empty

ok, we decided to disable x11 mining until we figure this out

wait a second

you said you have three DASH lost blocks?

we only see one

I made a detailed post about this issue

im getting alot of orphaned scrypt blocks on solo mining

maybe of 20, 11 were orphaned... i had mined this coin previously with a little more luck... can you please shed any insight on why this might be?

tmopar wrote: maybe of 20, 11 were orphaned... i had mined this coin previously with a little more luck... can you please shed any insight on why this might be?

which coin is that?

benjirolls

BenjiRolls has only a 17% orphan rate, so I think you were just mining at a time of high orphanage. It happens sometimes when another high-hashrate pool joins in when a coin has a profitable period.

Guys, I notice that when a miner switches coin the 2hr share count resets to 0 and the miner hash rate value reverts back to a "calculating hashrate" status, i.e nil. A secondary effect is that the Live Worker Status then reports that the miner is no longer active (subtracts the re-starting miner/s from the aggregate) and the total hashrate drops as well. Is this intended?

Actually, I think some of what I’m seeing is the result of the A4 software <2.0.3 ’getwork’ failure reboot bug as I’ve only upgraded about 1/2 of my miners so far. So that explains the Live Worker Status, but if that is true then I’m seeing a lot more getwork failures (reboots) than I used too and the other observations below remain correct for coin changes.

@ vinylwasp Confirm

Yep, my earning page is looking like the early days of owning A4s, I’ve got miners restarting all over the place, some are reboots and some are miner restarts, but the nett effect is that miner status and hashrate are all over the place. A4’s don’t like this either. I run mine @815Mv and every now and then a card will not restart and I’ll need to reboot the miner. I’ve been wathcing for the past 6 hours since getting home and it’s looking really messy and profit destroying.

Chris+Steve_: Thanks for reflecting on x11 issue. While i see 70% lower eranings compared to days ago, x11 looks not to have made any penny, even i was 80% of time solo-mining and had dozens of block founded notifications.

- I CONFIRM the SAME.

I’m getting the same thing here.

good morning, back to work soon

Steve profit script is abysmal why ???

Maybe all it is worth to increase it ?!

That implies that the miner was disconnected from the server and reconnected. I’ll see if I can figure out why they are disconnecting.

confirming, I see the a4’s disconnecting/reconnecting from the server too.

Nice to see you Steve.

I think that if we can figure out this hashrate issue, we should be in good shape

Chris can fix the x11 coins server by just creating a new virtual machine

are only a4s affected by this disconnect issue, or are other miners affected too?

I am only running A4’s for Scrypt at this time.

Thanks. I wasn’t able to reproduce this issue on other miners, and this is what’s so frustrating about trying to test this before release. I’m going to eat something, and we have a proposed solution that Chris will release in an hour or two to see what happens.

Steve Sokolowski wrote: are only a4s affected by this disconnect issue, or are other miners affected too?

I think it was the same with x11 as well.

my miners stay estaday on pool i have shares. but i not recive balanc. can see why this

Disconnect/reconnects seem like they are happening more frequently.

slowely, but securely, it’s getting wired the situation. at least scrypt or x11 pool should work normal, including earnings and shares.

I have set

n=*** and h=8192 password args on the A4’s

I just restarted the mining server with Steve’s changes. Please let me know if that improves A4 performance.

Hello Chris. Nice to see you looks fine today.

so if you have balances of other coins in your wallet, your only option is to get a wallet for that coin and then deposit it right? There is no way to sell the currencies from within the system?

Unfortunately, we can’t offer currency conversion for legal reasons, so you will have to get a wallet for those coins. Since all coins on this pool are traded on exchanges, you should be able to find an exchange that offers a wallet.

A4’s looking good for now, continuing to monitor....

I am confused though, is that not what is being done on the primary side, specifying no coin in particular, PPS? Consolidating/converting currencies? I appologize in advance I am new here.

Yes, we do trading like that in the background. The issue is entirely due to the way the law is written. If we made trades at a customer’s request, then we would be considered a broker, which has its own set of legal requirements. If customers can only choose which coins in which they want to be paid but have no input on when or where trades occur, then we are paying contractors (users) for their services (hashrate) in the eyes of the law.

ah... ok i understand. Is it possible to mine solo in one currency and request output for a different one?

specifically, i mean at the miner level so as that you never actually own the solo mined coin, but a process otherwise identical to the PPS model is used for the output currency

PPB... pay per block you might say

We don’t offer exactly that. You can use "c=" to mine a single coin through PPS and get paid in another coin, but it won’t pay per block. And "m=solo’ will pay per block but you can’t convert to another coin.

thank you for your explinations. I just have one last question. What makes a block orphaned, and Would having a private stratum proxy help?

,I have 2 sets of miners working solo, and I dont know if I am doing the orphaning myself or if i am losing efficiency that way

Chris is investigating people who reported issues with profit - I think that a regression caused a decline of a few percent that we can correct - but unfortunately a lot of miners came online yesterday from Jihan Wu and that’s causing difficulties to go up across the board

seperate issue entirely... but since you guys are expanding to X11, why not sha256? Alot of people have old miners that might reactivate them if they had a lower difficulty sha256d altcoin to hunt after

Does anyone notice whether their reported work restart times have increased or decreased since the update?

a4’s have decreased.

Is that causing any odd behavior?

I am not seeing anything odd.

hi to all, sorry for my bad english, i have start to mine with x11 baikal, how many time for see the result of mining? i see "calculate hashrate" from more of 20 minutes, thanks

x11 is closed for now right Chris?

I need to clarify... I am not seeing the A4’s disconnect from the stratum like they were. the work restart delay’s seem normal. 3-6 sec.

mickeekung wrote: x11 is closed for now right Chris?

It should be back up in 1-2 hours. Chris is fixing the last coins with the lost blocks, paying the miners who lost money, and will then enable it.

Thanks for answer Steve. And please check my account if I lost money too. My account ID is mickeekung. Thanks again.

We’re restarting the mining server to apply a fix that should increase profitability

ok, i was having some trouble doing solo mining but mainline is working

Chris will be restarting shortly to enable x11 mining

I’ve been waiting for 7 hours to see this sentence from you Steve.

the amount of money lost in x11 mining was just $110, so it wasn’t a big deal
