What does it mean when a worker has a work restart delay of "need more shares"?

In one of the last releases, the change the run in for mining. You can ignore it.

So, I cannot solo mine Florincoin... What’s the deal? It’s not showing up as in error and other people seem to be mining it.

Steve Sokolowski · · #88458

restarting one mining server

Steve Sokolowski · · #88459

to try to test the ZCash fixes

jeffms2003 · · #88460

Ok, that explains why my hash rate is showing to be next to nothing.

Steve Sokolowski · · #88461

ok, the system is back online

jeffms2003 · · #88462

I posted my issue in our reduced hashrate thread prior to seeing your note on here. Sorry.

jeffms2003 · · #88463

My equihash miner is still running on the backup pool, so maybe something didn’t go as planned?

Tomas_Novak · · #88464

I will not add my Z9

jeffms2003 · · #88465

definitely not connecting - shows several undefined workers which i assume is the miner attempting to connect. I guess I’ll go reset my miner.

Aramis · · #88466

yo whats going on with equihash port? having issues atm?

jeffms2003 · · #88467

They are trying to get zcash back up so it is mineable and something has happened and I can’t connect

jeffms2003 · · #88468

My miner isn’t going to my backup either, so whatever fix was put in place for that is failing too.

Aramis · · #88469

same I am taking my rigs offline for the moment

Aramis · · #88470

Steve let us know when the servers are back up please

Tomas_Novak · · #88471

Now what?

Tomas_Novak · · #88472

Socket connect failed: Connection refused

S3KshuN8 · · #88473

I am also getting multiple undefined workers with no shares, instead of my two Z9.

S3KshuN8 · · #88474

Now they seem to be showing up operational.

Steve Sokolowski · · #88475

I don’t know what this issue is, but things seem to be fine now

Steve Sokolowski · · #88476

if they recur, then we will disable equihash mining until the Dev server can be fixed for testing

Steve Sokolowski · · #88477

because bitcoin gold will also be going offline and we can’t mine without both zcash and bitcoin gold

jeffms2003 · · #88478

Mine is connected now

jeffms2003 · · #88479

When is bitcoin gold going offline?

jeffms2003 · · #88480

and why can’t you mine without bitcoin gold?

jeffms2003 · · #88481

There are 7 other coins showing as mineable on the equihash algo other than bitcoin gold, so I guess I’m not smart enough to figure out why losing bitcoin gold does away with all the others.

Steve Sokolowski · · #88482

tomorrow, and the other coins don’t have a high enough difficulty to keep the pool profitable in that case

jeffms2003 · · #88483

well bitcoin gold was like 11% of total equihash if I look back to 6/24 on the charts

jeffms2003 · · #88484

I can’t find anywhere online that says the algo is changing tomorrow

jeffms2003 · · #88485

it is in the works for sure based on what I see

jeffms2003 · · #88486

I see it now - apparently it will change at block 536,200 according to mining pool hub

jeffms2003 · · #88487

I still think it would be profitable with the others, but if it gets shut down there are plenty of other options I suppose.

dsldsl999 · · #88488

it is strange but since the problem on equihash happened, my Z9 will not even allow to have ph as one of the pool, otherwise it goes to socket connection refuse.

Steve Sokolowski · · #88489

ok, looks like things are back to normal

Steve Sokolowski · · #88490

thanks for your patience

Steve Sokolowski · · #88491

we still don’t have 100% functioning with ZCash, but we’ll have to look more into that tomorrow

dsldsl999 · · #88492

the moment i removed ph as my third pool, all other pools connected fine. but the antpool port 8899 takes a while to come online as well. it will show as dead for a short while.

jeffms2003 · · #88493

anyone ever used the miningpoolhub equihash autoswitching pool? Just trying to be prepared in the event that equihash is turned off here.

S3KshuN8 · · #88494

My Z9’s just disappeared a few minutes ago. Not seeing them on backup pools either. I’m not at their location presently, so I’m only guessing they also are sitting idle with "Socket connection refused."

dsldsl999 · · #88495

"Socket connection refused." equals full speed fan cycle

S3KshuN8 · · #88496

I’m probably going to have to make a special trip to go point them elsewhere, and then another trip when it’s fixed on PH’s end. :(

alim · · #88497

@jeffms2003 I have tried to use their autoswitching on two other algos. In terms of actually tracking what is going on, Prohashing is easier. However the most challenging bit for me was the time it took to be paid in my target coins - all their levels are different.

Eyedol-X · · #88498

so anyone know what happened today with zcash / equihash?

So, what’s the deal with Zcash? We gonna be able to mine it or is it going the chaotic "way of the Cryptonight"? Perhaps this calls for a "Steve Article" about it.

or plug in a laptop at the location and just remote into it and change settings as needed?

holygoof · · #88504

So those that have a Z9, assuming equihash gets shut down here for a while, where you guys planning on pointing yours? I see slushpool would work, and someone mentioned miningpoolhub

holygoof · · #88505

Also, anybody mining Equihash here get a ridiculous amount of coins yesterday? Any idea why?

Steve Sokolowski · · #88506

We don’t see any issues; reserve actually increased yesterday

Steve Sokolowski · · #88507

if profitability had an impact on how many people used this site, we would have 100% of hashrate for scrypt and x11, given that scrypt is now something like LTC+12%

holygoof · · #88508

It was not a complaint Steve :) for some reason, I been averaging about 17-25$ a day, and yesterday, it was $78

holygoof · · #88509

just running 3 vid cards, and a 1 Z9 for Equi

holygoof · · #88510

hope you guys can continue after BTG forks

o51888 · · #88511

A few minutes ago, the real-time profit data of the mine pool was not updated, and the wamp server was disconnected. In the few minutes of the disconnection, my hash has been mining, but it is obvious that during the time of the disconnection, the hash I paid did not receive any return.

o51888 · · #88512

Is the server disconnected, the hash I paid for has no shares, and I don’t get any coins to return?

o51888 · · #88513

21:20~21:32, all my miners didn’t get any coins in this period. The income is 0. This time period is also just the time period when the wamp server is not updated and disconnected.

ryanl · · #88514

@Steve Sokolowski not receiving payouts in Verge, error reads that it is downloading the latest blocks. Please look into it, I would greatly appreciate it.

o51888 · · #88515

For ordinary miners, a maximum of electricity costs are lost during the disconnection. But for the nicehash miners, the loss is very big! Because our hashes are all purchased with btc. In just 10 minutes, I lost at least 0.0038btc.

There’s nothing that can be done about that; the blocks are downloading and the issue will resolve itself in about two days

Steve Sokolowski · · #88517

There is no way to speed up the process, as it is CPU limited

You should have a backup pool set for when this one reboots or disconnects.

And yet when I checked litecoinpool with the lower difficulty and higher litecoin prices still paid out more coins yesterday for a L3+ than PH did.

You can’t set a backup pool on NH

jeffms2003 · · #88521

I guess that is one of the cons to "renting" hashing power as opposed to buying your own machines.

CSZiggy · · #88522

Setup a proxy server, point NH to the proxy, send it out to whatever pool you want and set a backup from there.

jeffms2003 · · #88523

I’m not smart enough for that junk...haha.

jeffms2003 · · #88524

I was barely smart enough to buy machines and build a setup good enough to run them.

jeffms2003 · · #88525

I can’t find the thread about a drop in hash rates, but I have machines that are hashing 95 TH/s in SHA and all day the prohashing site has shown me at between 85 and 90, so definitely some sort of issue.

o51888 · · #88537

The real-time profit data of x11 is obviously wrong, and it often turns into 10 times or even 100 times of the usual time. Please fix it quickly.

yet it is true a I losed 0.008 BTC due that wrong data

o51888 · · #88539

@balzsam :  I lost more! In this way, the nicehash miners could not continue working.

mickeekung · · #88540

Hello.

mickeekung · · #88541

Anyone use Nicehash and point to Prohashing right now?

mickeekung · · #88542

What algo that you point from Nicehash to Prohashing? Can you guys please suggest me?

dragonbyte_llc · · #88543

Nicehash is a scam, guys. You got a narrow margin of profitability, and if you get hashpower beyond the point you need it, you’re losing money. The only winners there are Nicehash. Sorry, but no confidence in it. You’re better off buying your own equipment.

mickeekung · · #88544

X11 profit very high right now.

dragonbyte_llc · · #88545

Not really. I have a D3 which ran on it since yesterday. After power costs, it’s only about $0.20 profit/day, and normally the D3 loses money.

dragonbyte_llc · · #88546

And it lost $0.60 the day before. (and that’s $0.20 to the good so far today)

balzsam · · #88547

buy own equipment and and lose money like you? I can make profit with nicehash, no scam, but profitability data on PH must be correct. Problem is, that PH have always some problems

mickeekung · · #88548

@balzsam What algo that you use from Nicehash and mine on PH?

balzsam · · #88549

Im earned 0.0032 BTC last day, which is not 0.20 $
