I’m looking into the issue now; it looks like there’s also a second unrelated issue where balance updates aren’t being received normally; that’s also under investigation

Dr_Soos wrote: Steve, I love the work that you guys do here, but you’re completely dillusional if you’re telling people the hashrates are fixed. 165 K/Sols total per day does not equal 74 cents USD per day and so far only 2 cents as of nearly 9 hours of mining today. Nevermind two days ago when I recieved half a payout when the crash occured. I have submitted support tickets, you claimed the problems were fixed, they aren’t, please do something to fix it. Your workers are fleeing as evidence by the total count being 12,000 opposed to 24,000 from two months ago. Whatever your fixes have been lately is doing damage to my miners by causing them to short cycle on the restarts. They randomly hang up everytime you try to reset the server after a "fix".

If you feel that you have to mine elsewhere, I understand; however, we’re investigating the issue, and share corrections have always been issued when balance problems have been found

Heres my earning for the last 7 days on PH, yesterday first, going back in time: $11.66, $15.12, $15.77, $16.97, $17.56, $18.24 and $17.54. So yesterday I earned $11.66. Moved all my machines to a new pool and this is what is expected: Next payout 2019-01-22 12:30 Payout amount 0.00569070 BTC 20.17 USD

As Steve said, I am not bound here. Love the pool, vibe and site layout. But money talks at the moment.

The equihash issue has been resolved, but it turns out that there are additional share corrections that are necessary, so Chris is going to execute those later today

as to the previous days before the $11.66 we know is erroneous, the only way to get a true comparison is to mine at both pools simultaneously

I did a comparison that way yesterday for scrypt to investigate another issue and found that for scrypt, Nicehash’s profitability is reported as 1% lower than here

a few percentage points of variance is normal, but I can’t explain that large of a difference

Hi Steve,

I’m not trying to pile on, but making 74 cents a day when my miners make about $20 a day is a huge variance and 15% doesn’t come close to covering it.

There has been no adjustment shown for Saturday or Sunday’s losses.

As I said earlier, nothing has been done either day to correct this payout issue and it does appear that funds are lost.

I have people who use my farm and I must answer to them daily. I cannot pay them because of ProHashings errors.

No money was lost; Chris expects to finish the credits within ten minutes

Could you post a screenshot of the other pool’s dashboard that shows this amount so I can investigate? Thanks

I think there is something still wrong with the dashboard.

I am getting very low target difficulty, and in the actual vs target earnings chart they have been drastically different on the 19th,20th and today.

The actual averages about half the target over those days.

Could you submit a support ticket about this issue? We’re not aware of any remaining widespread issues, so we’ll need to gather more information specific to your case

Sure , never did that before, it may take me some time to figure that one out. Thanks for the advice.

in both IE and Chrome, the support login is not working, I just get that spinning wheel thing.

this what I see on my dashboard since the fix.

They are z9 minis.

I think what you’re seeing is normal - the purpose of the release was to reduce the difficulties displayed by the pool to be in line with how other pools treated equihash difficulties

Ok ... thank you.

hi Steve, i am solo mined futuro and i found block 488846 and i dont see this block on my dashboard?? this block https://prohashing.com/explorer/Futuroc ... afdd9b670/

i see my mining name (jaruso) on screen live found blocks

I created a support ticket

now i see the block excuse for my spam

@ jaroparo What hashrate are you using?

is there a reason gulden (NLG) hasnt been payed for the last 5 days?

Try submitting a support ticket and Chris will be glad to investigate it

WOW nice! 50% profit increase in just 1 day. Hope the payout from yesterday wasnt some kind of error.

if it’s equihash mining, I noticed that luck was very low, so there might have been some sort of problem - but even if so, you’ll still get to keep a third of that due to the bonus policy

the other algorithms were not affected

I need Status of Friday

I was just looking at Daily Total Miner Earnings, where it went from 19.7K on the 23 to 34K on the 24. 50% payout growth in just 1 day.

Could someone clarify for me how the profitability works? I guess i’m interpreting it wrong.

I have about 145 mhs for scrypt. sobased on the chart, 145*.257= roughly $37/day. That seems insanely high. What am i calculating wrong?

@Kle11 it’s .257 CENTS per MH/s per day.

so about 37 cents / day, not $37

So is my math correct then? Or am i still confused.

the arithmetic is correct, but the units are wrong.

Gotcha. Thanks for the response.

Hi everyone, I have 6 D3 mining X11 coins with default settings but they have been showing huge LSTime for a while now. Is this normal?

/Anyone else having any issues making changes to their payout address section? Every time I make a change and try to save it, I get a message saying "You may not delete Litecoin or the default backup coin from payout address".. (I wasn’t doing either) but get that message every time. Anyone seeing anything similar?

@Prohasing.. your service desk login doesn’t seem to be working

That’s true. Litecoins are used as a coin of last resort to pay you if no other coins are available

As to the support ticket system, could you tell us more about the problem?

Hi Steve. Yes, I understand the litecoin last resort thing.. I was actually dusting a balance of a few cents on a completely unrelated coin I no longer get paid out in when I got that message. Which led me to try changing a couple of payout amounts and no matter what I tried to change, I got that message about deleting Litecoin.

As per the support desk.. when attempting to login.. the system just hangs. Tried on 2 separate computers with different browsers and 2 separate internet connections to be safe. Couldn’t log in on either.

@srossman it is possible you are using incorrect login details for the support desk. It doesn’t use your login details from the main site. Have you created a support account, and if so, are you making sure you use the correct details?

@ jkndt yes, you’re correct (different login details).. still had no luck. Apparently the internet hates me today

So cryptonight is down? it say no coin to mine

There’s something weird about ETH and XMR right now

we’ve been looking at it for about an hour but have yet to determine the cause

ah thanks for the update, i was hoping a was not alone with the problwm with xmr

it looks like ETH resolved itself with no intervention, but we’re still looking for XMR’s problem

Hi Steve. Not so sure ETH has resolved itself. I’m seeing nothing since 5:54pm yesterday

Nor have any payments flowed from yesterday’s earnings. I have 11 coin payments waiting to flow

looks like Monero stopped at the same 5:54pm timestamp yesterday

Work is still ongoing to resolve the ETH and Monero issues - we have not yet been able to determine the cause and will update people when we have more information

xmr seem to be up again, i see hashrate and some transactions

Steve Sokolowski wrote: Work is still ongoing to resolve the ETH and Monero issues - we have not yet been able to determine the cause and will update people when we have more information

Any news about the issue? is it solved or not?

I am surprised people still mine with such a low profitability. I earned $1.14 yesterday with one miner lol

when your miner is paid and your electricity bill is low, you still have some profit

like what, $1?

we figured out the cause of the issue and it’s going to require significant changes to how USDC payouts are handled, so that feature has been delayed

I am having trouble connecting to equihash with nicehash. I get this error: Resolving pool host prohashing.com... OK Establishing connection with proxy... OK Establishing connection with pool ... OK Sending mining.subscribe... OK Sending mining.authorize... OK Error: Result array size not 2.

I can actually mine with nicehash when the order is profitable, but when it’s not profitable, it goes dead and soon gets canceled. Orders have to be alive at least 50% of the time to not get canceled.

We’re aware of that error and haven’t been able to get an explanation from Nicehash about it

the array in the stratum protocol is defined as size 3

I don’t know why they are expecting size 2, and what they are omitting from the array if so

if you can get an answer we’ll fix that

Hi. What’s happening with StrongHandcoin? Stopped 1/29/2019 4:45:42 PM...

I noticed that all of the Equihash miners switched to Zcash when Zen was more profitable. Why did that happen? Do the miners still get paid what Zen should be paying?

Do you mean horizen? If so, how much difference was there between the profitabilities of the two coins at the time? If it’s a small difference, then the difference in work restart frequency may have outweighed the small profitability improvement
