Ripple isn’t mined, it’s generated from thin air.

Profitability day over day on track to be down 9%...makes no sense at all.

haven’t changed a thing

Are you watching the coin prices?

This is because the hashrates being displayed in the website were too low, by about 1/12

profitability is total earnings / hashrate

now that the correct hashrates are being reported to customers, profitabilities will also fall to be correct

it doesn’t affect actual money being earned, as that was always correct; it was just a display issue

I’m looking at actual money being earned in the earnings page

I’m not looking at per hash rate metrics now.

In my case say my earnings were $100 yesterday, I took what was earned over an 8 hour period and multiplied it by 3x to get the 24 hour rate and that would now be $92 for today. Those aren’t my actual numbers, but just an exmaple to illustrate what I’m seeing. Prices are actually up from yesterday on crypto and not a chance difficulty increase by that across the board.

Why switching between the most profitable does not work today SHA256

My miners are acting up, I’ve had this issue happen before and the issue tied back to something to do with the mining pool. Efficiency has dumped from 99.7% to 30%. (antminer s9)

Hashrates are jumping up and down

Feel free to submit a support ticket and we’ll be glad to assist you; there’s no indication of a widespread issue like this, so we can help with your issue offline

Please add CryptoNight algorithm to Prohashing

Ticket is submitted now, thank you. I’m watching the live blocks and there is, what seems, a pretty large lack of SHA-256 blocks being found, other than the one guy solo-mining FireFlyCoin right now. Pretty underwhelming for 38PH/s of power wouldn’t you think? I dont watch the live blocks often enough to know that it’s an anomaly or not

Alright so now I have switched one Miner to solomine Digibyte, and it is working, which leads me to believe that the issue is on Prohashings side. I am under the impression it is an issue with the BTC part of the pool.

Anyone know what’s going on here? https://imgur.com/a/s2taWRQ

I am going to blackhole the prohashing server at my router so it fails over to the backups as given these reject rates the pool is just wasting electricity at the moment.

if it helps I think from the console they seem to be being marked as duplicate shares.

Live coin status today almost does not work on algo sha-256

I switched to solo mining digibyte on sha256 to cope

It seems that SHA-256 Bitmain S9 miners of mine have been mining nothing but bitcoin for the last 3 days. Aren’t the miners supposed to automatically switch to what ever coin is going to pay the most?

Yes, I’ve observed it being locked into BTC regardless of profitability the last 2 days, a few times I did see it momentarily switch coins. There seems to be an error, I brought up how my hash rates were going bonkers in the chat earlier but the admin said their system had no indications of an issue.

Interesting. So the question remains as to how do they explain the lack of other coins being mined as had been the case prior days....

Are you getting a hash rate reading on your miners? I’ve left one of miner on the profit-change and it only says calculating hashrate. My miners have been running for months, nothings changed on my end

other than the changes ive had to make the last two days because of the profit-changing not working for me

It might have to do with this change that was made on July 10th

A major change was released this morning, at around 2:43am EDT. The mining server has been changed to reassign miners to new coins much less aggressively than it did before. We expect profitability to decline, but for hashrate to increase and offset the profitability loss. Static coin miners and solo miners are not affected by the change. After the system has run in this mode for a full day, which means about 40 hours from now, we will solicit feedback from customers on whether the change should be continued.

two days now my miners says calculating hashrate whats goin on

the change affected me as posted....i see higher hash rates and less profit merge mining a combo of scrypt and sha-256 miners

can someone refresh me on solo mining RE: finding block-its marked immature

will it eventually mature and credit?

the help says it may mature , lost or orphan after more blocks are found but i have about 7 in a row like this

@cloaker :  What coin is it? The maturation time may take a while

cloaker wrote: the help says it may mature , lost or orphan after more blocks are found but i have about 7 in a row like this

How long has it been? Usually maturation takes about three days, but can be shorter if pools are mining a lot of blocks very quickly

I would wait 3 days before being concerned about it

miner earnings down 40% for the past 3 days ... but miners run as normal ... ?

and TRON is still not paid out ...? how long will the manual payout process take?

UnknownEntity wrote: and TRON is still not paid out ...? how long will the manual payout process take?

We don’t have an ETA on that at the moment, and I apologize for that - TRON changed to a new blockchain and the coin was discontinued

as to the issue of miner earnings, we are not aware of any systemwide issues, so please submit a support ticket and we’ll be glad to assist you

My earnings were down 8% a few days back and I just switched to different pools. Looks like payouts are trending down when market prices are trending up, so something is wrong and multiple folks are pointing it out.

I think I replied to this in a post that you might have missed - the reported profits were incorrect because hashrates were being underreported by 8%

we fixed the issue and that caused it to appear that profits had changed

I’m looking at the actual $$ I’m earning a day, not based on any hash rate metric. If you also look at payouts on your charts page, they are trending down pretty heavily, which isn’t consistent with price action in the markets. It is consistent with the way my daily earnings were moving holding all else equal.

My earnings are sharply down too over the last few days also.

It should be reset more offten orphan rate. We make no profit

Maybe profitability is down because you keep mining orphaned Gulden blocks? Might want to try turning Gulden off or upgrading

Hi guys, please advise if I should change payout coin from ETC. Have not received 2 payments now. I have opened a support ticket on 7/13, but I dont want to miss a third. Plz advise if I should change. Ta. J

@jeffms2003 - I point out any inconsistencies here i see or rather perceive and i do a fair amount of day to day tracking in most regards.....

.that being said you missed the fact that the earnings report and the down trend are not tied to market price when your part of a pool as all of that is absorbed by everyone here...pool-2-pool....look at the number of mining rigs here and notice the down trend coincides with the fact there were less mining rigs here earning so naturally if your paying less miners your paying less over all

i think the site issue and drop in miners/rigs coinciding at the same time frame caused some fog in that regard but imo the payout decline is attributed to mier decline and you should see the opposite as more re-engage

As of the morning of July 14th we noticed that coinbase attached a fee of $1.99 to the automatic sale of BTC sent to the account via prohashing link to coinbase. Has anyone else seen this? Or has there always been that fee and our transactions are only now being subject to that fee? Thanks!

Someone else reported this issue too - we’ll add this to the tasklist for investigation next weekend

restarting one of the mining servers now to get more information on the "duplicate shares" issue

X11 profitability value is jumping up and down quickly, it is OK?

1800 end then about 3000, then down again to 1800

are there some problems with calculations?

How bout you just pay out my TRX and MONK? You guys added TRX AFTERRR the swap you knew damn well it was happening.

Steve, please stop Dimecoin deposit, it’s on hold on Cryptopia

Steve, my balances dropped. How can it be that a balance goes down instead of up?

There are hundreds of manual TRON payouts that need to be processed - we apologize for that, as we did not know and Chris needs to process them

it could take some time given the number of checks that need to be performed for every payout

I sold my L3+ back in february. What is the daily profit with an L3+ today?

@cloaker - Take a closer look at the miners compared to the payouts. Miners went down at a slower pace than payouts even in an increasing price environment. Market price has to be considered when looking at payouts in terms of USD. Also, take a look at the number of miners and payouts on 7/12 and 7/13. Miners and payouts completely diverge, which makes no sense considering market prices in terms of USD are moving up.

Restarting one of the mining servers to continue debugging the duplicate shares issue

1/8 of miners will see a one-minute disconnect

Hello someone can help me?

yep i read that the first time and didn’t concur but it’s all good.

just got my antminer e3 yesterday. I hope prohashing can support it soon...

Hashrate on PH following that of my miners much more closely now, thans Steve.

@ Steve RE $1.99 fee investigation this weekend. Let me know if you need more information, e.g. screen shots showing no fee and then fee starting 7/14. Thx

hey steve u have a min for a quick couple of questions

What changed? All hash rates down by btwn 15 and 20% scypt, X11, sha256

On the contrary to the OP’s comments, I’ve noticed hashrates higher across-the-board over the last couple of days. Scrypt and SHA, all miners on both. At least 10% higher and more stable. Efficiency consistent & close to 100%. That’s better than I’ve ever seen before on PH.

@Steve, rates went back up to normal shortly thereafter so no issues. As noted earlier, please check on the $1.99 coinbase fee that began on July 14th and thanks!

I responded to this ticket and am awaiting a response as to what country you’re from

steve can you add the ability to add a payout addy for tron- some of us had balances/solo mined without a payout addy at the time the coin was yanked

RE: your forum thread has a full discussion

or please advise,thnx

just responded

Those balances are being paid manually; you can submit a support ticket to Chris and he’ll follow the password reset procedure, where you send money from one of the payout addresses associated with your account to us, and then you get back that money and the TRON to the address you asked
