@zafar177 :  not Blake2b, only 1 coin that uses it really, so unprofitable to add. We asked back in december when bitmain sia machines rolled out.

so is it possible to get scrypt work/jobs on a S9 Sha-256 miner? I earned some free mining time and once again guy has troubles connecting his S0 to sha-256

he says hes getting scrypt jobs...says hes on right port 3335

I did witness it connect and get the 10 share rejection

idk how this guy got his S9 working the one time for 12 hours fine then now hes having issues again..has to be PEBCAK

Zcoin is not algo Lyra2REv2 but algo LyraZ

S9 is not intended for mining algo scrypt

I understand that but I think the guy setting up the S9 miner has trouble with english or "cognitive" instructions

stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3335, worker name: "name prohashing account", password :

I know thats exactly what I gave..but the 1st time he had issues he admitted he added in a=sha256 in there as well, even tho he had 3335 as the port specific for sha-256

even tho i told him he didnt need that..but I dont "run" a mining farm so obv i dont know what im talking about

im highly convinced the person has a combination of problems reading, and or eye sight problems...almost sure of it..what else could it be

yes, then password: a = sha-256

he only got it working without that..and why do you need a=sha-256 if your on port 3335?

i think the website needs to be updated..cause that is confusing where as it has algo specific ports, but then at the same time has the a="algo" flag in there too for port 3333

PolakCrypto wrote: he only got it working without that..and why do you need a=sha-256 if your on port 3335?

does not need it

Tomas_Novak wrote: yes, then password: a = sha-256

then why did u type this?

if it is connected via port 3333, the password a = sha-256 is needed

@PolakCrypto :  I would find someone else to go with, that guy is obviously lost or trying to scam you.

@csziggy its a shame, i 100% believe with text messaging/tv and such cognitive understanding/comprehension is down 50% amongst people

not payouts this weekend. tried to open support ticket but username/pw not working. reset password isn’t working either.

did you put in email address or username? for support i think you need "full email address"

it says to enter username for a reset. i’ll try the full email address. thx

@mad4mining :  the support system is its own username/account and password not like forum or regular prohashing.com website. as far as I know.

when i enter Mad4mining it says the username is already in use. I entered a help ticket a few weeks ago and it worked fine. Now ...i’m locked out.

payouts never work as it should on this pool...damnit!

I get the count down like it’s going to happen, then it resets and starts over with an additional day’s payouts due. If I don’t get it by end of day, I’m moving to slushpool until it’s fixed.

LMAO this guy cant even connect his L3+ scrypt miner right either now

@mad4mining i had that happen a couple times, message support or wait, i think i had a payment go 48 hours then finally it paid off on its own here earlier today

@steve sokolowski if a account uses the same worker name twice will it cause issues?

I’m up to date on payouts. If someone is watching...thanks. Very much appreciated.

is there no way to use password arguments with a sh-256 miner to solo mine ro go after a specific coin?

blocks/

@cloaker :  sure there is. You say m=solo c=coin and replace coin with which coin you want to solo mine.

prohashing.com:3333 and password "a=sha-256 m=solo c=BitcoinCash" should solo mine bitcoincash for you, you have to enter in an address for the payout, you cant solo mine 1 coin and get paid in another.

PolakCrypto wrote: @steve sokolowski if a account uses the same worker name twice will it cause issues?

Yes. One of the workers will be assigned a random UUID because worker names can’t be duplicated.

Go to 7K btc, run forest run!

Sorry for the dumb question: Assuming the price of a coin is a factor in the coins profitability calculation... If a coins price doubles, wll your mining reward double too? Does a jump in a coins price mean an increase in mining reward? Thanks.

I think you guys are missing the most profitable Lyra2v2 coin. It has a larger block reward than the other lyra2v2 coins combined. Can anyone find what it is? The block height is 126264 and difficulty is 364327

@jde :  a larger block reward of a less value coin isnt worth as much as a smaller block reward of a coin worth a lot more in value.

@jde :  you know the block height and difficulty but not which coin you are talking about? seems odd. Random mining and no clue which coin your on?

@CSZiggy Yes, you can connect to NiceHash

@CSZiggy :  You can see what the people are mining. There is some Lyra2v2 coin with a massive block reward that very few people have heard of. It is certainly more profitable than the other lyra2v2 coins because NiceHash is paying more than what they are worth.

Please submit a support ticket if you can figure out what this coin is so that Chris can add it

@jde :  can you provide a link to the page that shows what people are mining? I’ve seen nicehash pages that show what they are paying for your hashrates, but I’ve never seen a page that shows what coins are being mined by the hashrate being sold.

@jde :  Nicehash doesn’t pay more than it’s worth, the people buying the hashing power are paying MORE than its worth. Nicehash isn’t a pool, its a market place to match buyers and sellers of hashing power to use on OTHER pools.

all coins algo lyra2REv2

Absolute Coin (ABS) Argentum (ARG) DaviesCoin (DAVIES) Galactrum (ORE) Hanacoin (HANA) Kreds (KREDS) Lunex (LUNEX) MonaCoin (MONA) MTI (MTI) NIX Platform (NIX) Race (RACE) Rupee (RUP) SECI (SECI) SHIELD (XSH) STRAKS (STAK) Unitus (UIS) Verge (XVG) Vertcoin (VTC) WeyCoin (WAE)

@Tomas_Novak :  when you look over some of those coins, the difficulty is in megs, not gigs or TH/s, and likely won’t be appearing on this pool as any 1 person would push the profits of those coins to 0 in 1 block found.

ok. just write which coins you can benefit from

the ones the pool is mining.

@jde :  has a link or some info on a new coin people are making money on, or so he thinks?

Hey @Steve Sokolowski. I’ve been playing with the new Brave browser and love how it limits popups and ads. One of the features is free BAT tokens each month that can be distributed to website owners. I noticed it picked up Prohashing as a top site for me since I often open a tab to monitor my earnings. Are you set up to receive BAT tokens from the Brave browser? I have 25 BAT tokens and they’re all yours if you want, but they are paid through the browser (not sure how they do that). If you have the browser look under Preferences >> Payments. Maybe even encourage miners to help support your site....just a thought.

is there a way to set a static but var diff range for your miner? like if i wanted to do 4096-16000 diff only and never get anything assigned higher?

@mad4mining :  Never heard of BRAVE browser before but after reading about it, almost seems criminal. Replacing ads on pages with their own ads, basically plagurizing other sites work and getting paid for people using their browser. Just install a pop-up blocker, don’t support web ad theft.

Tomas_Novak wrote: all coins algo lyra2REv2

Some of these coins have extremely low trade volumes, so they can’t be mined - and others have locked wallets, so it’s not as positive as it seems at first

NO.

The Brave browser rewards content creators directly ..not the advertisers that track and monitor your "clicks". It’s the safest new browser that protects personal information. Ever clicked on an ad for a blender or pair of shoes ...then it shows in 90% of ads on the next 1000 websites you visit? Brave prevents this. It’s the new fav for the next generation (although it doesn’t run all extensions) Give it a try. You’ll be surprised how clean and efficient it is. The BAT token is reward for content creators and users control who gets the reward rather than getting his with a 100 click bait ads.

i dont know why but it shows that the site is down on my miners

Yeah im on backup pools, is it the 8th already? or this the 2 new algos being added.

i can ping the site is something wrong in x11 server or it just me

all the servers, look up top of the forum page, no stats

if you see stats, and no web page, servers are still up, typically if you dont see stats then mining may be off or communication or display error

something is wrong the Live Coin Status is frozen

im als mining on my backup server

prohashing is down

likely due to the 2 new algos the pool added today

pool is offline on sept 8, so this is a good time to check the backup pool infos and that they work

whats your backup pool

i do scrypt mining, so my backup is litecoinpool.org

You only run scrypt Ziggy?

Chris is releasing Ethash and Neoscrypt right now

there’s a post in the "news" section about it

we expect some issues for the next 15m

what about equihash why are all the coins offline now except for zcash and zencash

@PolakCrypto :  takes some time to get new prices and re-index coins, give it 5 mins.

Steve - will Cryptonite will be available too OR Eth and NeScrypt will go first?

citronick wrote: Steve - will Cryptonite will be available too OR Eth and NeScrypt will go first?

No, cryptonight isn’t in this release and we expect it in October

the other two algorithms will be online once we confirm that the existing algorithms work as they did before with the new release

Steve ur pool is unstable today u should give us notice before when u gone have breaks

@kamal872001 - I believe Steve started a thread at 6:44am this morning (almost 8 hours ago) that there would be system things going on. It’s under the News section

is neoscrypt live yet? or when ETA? ill try it later with nice cool night temperatures and give it go if its ready

Equihash mining is down? Getting all shares rejected with incorrect nonce size...

S3K i had that earlier is it still doing that?

My Z9 Mini having fits..

Incorrect size of nonce. Expected 8 chars 9,780 99.39%

Me too.

Was fine up until an hour a ago..

it was doing that for me too on regular GPU mining on equihash

equihash is still messed up

ugh

what happened on that? someone spill a soy latte on the config sheet?

come on can we get a reset please on equihash

At least take equihash all the way down so we get a failover without having to reset everything pls...

We fixed the Equihash problem - sorry for the issue
