You asked earlier about reject percentage on Scrypt... for me it hit 2.4 percent (54334 accepted shares, 1302 rejected, over the course of 4 days, 16 hours)

We just restarted the mining server with a change that optimizes the algorithm for assigning coins. CPU load dropped by about 50%, which should resolve many of the issues with wamp and the charts.

94.6% on my Scrypt, which means 0.35 GH rejected.

Payout 4/25/2017 and 4/26/2017 still not received..

Payment received. Thanks

Anyone set c=x for x11? Could you tell me what is the best x for c=x to set?

@ Steve/Chris - Nicehash is looking pretty good now . . if we can maintain this level of performance will be just fine

Steve / Chris: Regarding x11 difficulty: Can you please provide us with more details how you consider difficulty for x11, and/or provide more informations for miners? As you know, i’m losing to much hashpower and have concluded that you allow max. 4.0 as a difficulty, otherwise, you set it dynamically. Thanks.

Have done with DASH, but during the days that there was a problem with lost blocks, which has been solved, as per Steve’s post. Haven’t tried any other, yet.

Do you want that maximum difficulty to be changed?

Right now, I’ve gotten the load down from 150% (which caused delays) to 80%, which means we are able to process shares in real time. That means we’re safe for now, and over the weekend I should be able to make further improvements to stay ahead of new customers.

I dont know which formula you use, but, i think it needs to be increased and/or leave it up to miners.

What value would you like to use?

@Steve- you want to use 1, 2 or 4 dec figures`?

@Steve- On Scrypt, last few days, i see more and more Duplicate share rejections, but also "Both primary and merge mined shares are stale". Any specific reason you may think about?

It depends generally, but, usually i divide my GH to 1.4 or 1.8, but as said, increasing is necc. as its something that pool works based on SPM and allow miners to chose. in this case it all depends what your configuration is.

Why am I seeing a payout on 4/26 but no deposit in my wallet, BTC?

See whether those issues continue today, after 8:00am EDT, and let us know.

i have problem too on a4 dominator Duplicate share rejections, 125.27 MH/s (43.48%) Duplicate: 125.27 MH/s

u have iformation what this can be?

Do these problems occur all at once, or at a steady rate?

Ok Steve. will try it, otherwise i will definitive be forced to leave your pool. I’m losing at least 1 GH/s scrypt from what i have connected here.

no not occur all at once, after 1-2 hours stand on pool simtime. and not always

Accepted shares are at 83%, or rejected ones are?

I’m glad to hear that we were able to improve the share acceptance rate, which seems to imply that performance was the issue. We’ll see if tomorrow’s last round of improvements fixes the issue for good.

does block finder rewards get rewarded to the finder or split between everyone in the difficulty

GregoryGHarding wrote: does block finder rewards get rewarded to the finder or split between everyone in the difficulty

It depends on what type of mining you choose. PPS mining is reliable but you don’t get the rewards for valuable blocks, while solo mining earns you nothing unless you find blocks.

greory

I was trying to register a miner but Why can not I connect prohashing.com:3333 ? you have another route? my computer , iphone both can not connect prohashing.com:3333

Is web site down? I don’t see my miners and Litecoin is not going up

Knock Knock.A long-running task has delayed the recording of shares since 22 minutes ago. Statistics will be out-of-date until the task has completed and all shares have been recorded to the database. All miners disconnected.

Also coins I forfeited a few weeks ago have returned

Yep my miners have gone to back up pool..

My miners have failed over too...

here also

Same here...

what backup pool are you guys using ?

I am running on NiceHash

Pool is coming back online now. Time to sleep. zzz

My miners are rolling back over to ProHashing...

Don’t really like my miners switching back and forth from back up pool any idea when whatever will be fixed? For now I will switch to backup until things get settled here. Thanks

CritterDog wrote: Also coins I forfeited a few weeks ago have returned

I refunded some shares that were inadvertently forfeit sue to a bug in our cheating script. It might have also inadvertently reversed some desired forfeitures.

Steve restarted the server to apply a fix to improve performance and coin selection.

This should be fixed now. We deployed a new version to improve performance.

What is Forfeited balance meaning?

My account got minus balance too.

Please help. TT

Chris shows why I have lost the balance ???

About the "forfeitures" issue: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=849&p=5545#p5545

Hooray!!! Chris is online now.

It seems like there is one share that is causing a problem with high earnings this morning, so Chris is going to fix that and correct balances and pay

a4’s unstable on Prohasing, rolling over to another pool to check stability...

@jinxorbit - I could feel the same way, but the upgrade is supposed to make things better. It hurts for a while, things did not go well, but I personally will stay here and work through the pain. I hope others will too, if you have big hashrates and lose money from the disruptions its understandable to go where is more stable for a while. But the cryptospace is inovative, and the move towards new ideas, and trying things from a programming perpsective is a real bitch, over time it stabilizes, but not overnight. If you are not losing too much, show some loyalty and earn more in the long term

jinxorbit wrote: a4’s unstable on Prohasing, rolling over to another pool to check stability...

have you tried adding the h password param?

after a weekend of unstable weather I began to worry about equipment damage from storms. Since PH has been deploying new code, I need to be sure that the issue is code and not hardware. I have one a4 still running on PH, but in fact, the new code is not playing nice with my system. Also being an IT guy I am familiar with programming issues.

jinxorbit wrote: a4’s unstable on Prohasing, rolling over to another pool to check stability...

We might have to buy one of these to figure out what is wrong. Let me know if this is something specific to this site or whether the situation improves elsewhere.

I have tried the h= PW arg but there is no difference. Some of the cards are just reporting sick -ThreadZeroHash

The units running on the other pool are hashing fine. The one running on PH has one card shutdown and running at 35 degrees Celsius.

I am removing the h= PW arg and restarting the a4 to see if performance improves.

83% reject rate on one card.

Since the upgrade my L3 miners are running better.. Finding many more blocks then before..Good job

About to restart the mining server to apply an update that improves performance and fixes bugs.
