What I miss most about the KnC Titan was it’s ability to mine multiple coins 100% of the time. I’d like to run my L3+ on solo with more than one coin. With a little work, the password field could be updated to allow say, "c=litecoin+goldcoin m=solo" ... Then if one of the static coins goes into error it will focus on the other(s) until it comes back up.

while I’m thinking about improvements, could you sort the live balances in $ amount instead of coin amount, or be able to toggle an option for this?

I added a task for Constance to work on later in May - thanks for the suggestion!

re: Goldcoin ... looks like the pool hash-to-coins accounts for about 90% of Goldcoin hashrate. I’m guessing we account for most of the rest.

you can see how much we comprise in "live coin status" - as you can see, we haven’t mined any goldcoin blocks recently because that pool is orphaning all our blocks

the system appears to have detected a 51% attack and lowered the profitability accordingly

GLC (or GLD as it has been) is a bit different breed of scrypt coin... I don’t think even an 80%+ malicious share could compromise it, at least not quickly. It’s worth studying the code a bit (something I have not done)...

not that I’m trying to pimp it out or anything.

Hello! What happened to the site?

sites down for me also

steve sites HTTP ERROR 404

looks like mining is still ongoing and not failing over to backup pools

sites down HTTP ERROR 404

prolly ddos attack hope the coins are safe lol

wonder if its something to do with this Release this afternoon Postby Steve Sokolowski » Wed May 01, 2019 4:12 pm Chris will be issuing a new release this afternoon. The mining servers and the website will be restarted, resulting in a 30s mining outage and a 5m website outage. For the website, a number of bugfixes will be deployed. For example, the charts will now only show one tick per date instead of multiple ticks on wide monitors, for charts that only have one point per day. For the mining server, there are a few minor fixes, and one major issue with CryptonightR miners. When xmr-stak miners submit a rejected share, xmr-stak currently disconnects the miners because it can’t parse the response. This release will resolve the xmr-stak connectivity issue.

This issue was resolved; it has nothing to do with that release. It was the failing motherboard, which appears to be restarting every day, and the issue will be resolved on May 23

It looks like this has been implemented already. Thanks!

She did it yesterday, since it was so easy

this reverse hard fork thing looks like a pretty big deal. They’re going to fork the main BTC chain and merge the GLC chain to it with the new protocol. The result will be a GLC chain forked from the genesis block of bitcoin.

are you guys getting ready for this? (hint hint)

Please go to the block explorer and click the "notify us of pending coin changes" for this coin - that way, Chris will read the notice and figure out what needs to be done

done.

Is payout in NYANCOIN deactivated? There are no fees and no threshold. Please advise, I still have NYAN as active payout...

I had an pending payout but the timer was just reset every night (now I changed my payout threshold to a higher value, just in case there is some kind of minimum amount of coins)

Please submit a support ticket about this issue; Chris is responsible for payouts and he’ll be glad to assist

need add

is the site down? "This prohashing.com page can’t be found No webpage was found for the web address: https://prohashing.com/dashboard.html HTTP ERROR 404"

...Same as yesterday. Received a lower payout than normal too.

looks like I will have to change to my backup pools until all these disruptions settle down

No money was lost; this is the server’s motherboard taking out the website, and it will be fixed on May 23

I apologize for the issue

Steve, do you mean we won’t be able to get on the website untill 23 May?

All of my payout coins except BTC are in some kind of error state. Looks like it started ~ 3 hours ago.

It appears that all of my payouts stop accruing around 5 pm EST. I know that a support ticket will be needed, but wanted to get it on the forums as well.

Chris is issuing a brief restart to fix some bugs that hopefully will resolve the issue I talked about earlier

Whatever the problem was, it didn’t stick around long enough to open a ticket.

Chris restarted the mining servers to fix what might be the problem causing stale shares

we need to allow the servers to run for an hour and collect data and hopefully we’ll have good news

I do not know how you think the percentage that is not credited. But over the past day, with one antminer S9 should have gone + - $ 3.2, and credited $ 2.4. What is 25%. The difference is more than significant.

Chris is issuing a release that we think resolves the issue with profitability being lower than expected due to the stale shares

it will take about 2 minutes

the restart is complete and it appears that it did resolve the issue

we should have more info in an hour or so

can anyone help me with a connection issue

yeah looks like its still jipping on accepted shares

What happened to the NYC payouts?

Is there an issue with Cardano (ADA) payouts? It appears to have stopped accumulating sometime yesterday evening.

A support ticket is the best way to address this; I’ll assign it to Chris and he’ll take a look

Steve did you fix the shares issue or is it still going on? I think it still may be but just lightly unless you guys are still making adjustments

seems weird idk...im logging earnings and watching stuff and it DEF seems better than when the issues were around

we fixed some issues but there is still an issue remaining

it’s good that you’re seeing effects, though

we have another idea for improvement that we are going to release tomorrow morning

surprisingly, the core issue is still not resolved, and if it’s resolvable, we can get profits up another 5-9%

but since we have been doing so much looking, we found bugs other than this one and fixed them

Ticket submitted. It seems Cardano has no minimum set and is not paying out, but my "default coin" is.

ok, I figured this one out - Binance had a hack and their withdrawals are disabled right now

so unfortunately, Binance has all the Cardano and there’s no way to pay it out until they unlock their wallets

ok ?

Hello I am mining with cgminer and i would like to know how long it takes that i gat Valid shares in the dashborad because actually the board shows me that i am mining Scrypt wich i want to

Chris is restarting one of the mining servers to test a workaround to the stale shares issue

ok, the restarts should be over now - thanks for your patience, we’ll evaluate whether our changes improved profits and decide whether to apply to all servers tomorrow

is the site down?

citronick wrote: is the site down?

yes it seems so, but the only side is down, miners are still working.

This is the failing motherboard, which will be replaced on May 23 - for some reason it seems to only fail at 6am, the worst possible time

we’ll be replacing it on May 23; until then, we restarted the site and no money was lost

if it turns out that share corrections are needed, then Chris will investigate them later today, but I don’t think they are

@steve -- for critical servers -- please do consider some redundancy ie. fail-over backup server or a VMWARE solution.

We already have a solution to this problem and plan to install it on May 23

unfortunately, developing the software to support a failover system would be so complex that I’m not sure we could justify it with current fees, though

Chris is doing a restart of one of the mining servers

to apply the changes discussed in the "Status" post

Hello Prohashing. Please could you add Commercium, Pirate and Vote to Equihash? When do you think they could be ready? Thanks.

Could you submit a support ticket about this, along with the exchanges where they are traded? My understanding is that these coins are not traded at any exchanges that accept US customers.

Okey i still need to know how long i takes that the cgminer wich shows on the console 1.580GH/s gives me Valid shares on the side wich shows that i am mining scrypt

Can someony give me some inf

..... alternatively .... invest in critical spares onsite.

Would be nice to have a ticker/banner on the forum that shows the status of the pool and any pending scheduled downtimes

We actually did post an orange message yesterday, but it was short notice, and I apologize for that
