Under the Coinbase Options tab, every coin except BTC, ETH, LTC and Dash are showing errors for me.

-MaVerick- · · #97311

ETH and RandomX are working fine for my, except for the pause for 1-2min every hour or so with RandomX. The payout is completely bonkers today though

Steve Sokolowski · · #97312

the primary mining server restarted due to the memory issue, causing coins to temporarily go into error - we expect this to continue happening until the memory arrives, which is now delayed until Tuesday

Steve Sokolowski · · #97313

there unfortunately is no vendor which will ship the memory quicker, at any cost

-MaVerick- · · #97314

thx for the info, gotta get that payout limit for LTC anyway :D

bMeister1 · · #97315

I thought that’s what the issue is but my miner has been complaining of being disconnected since before 10:30 (when my cmd log runs out) and still won’t reconnect.

bMeister1 · · #97316

I probably ought to just submit a ticket about it at this point.

sergiokaminsky575 · · #97317

there is a date to return to normal currency exchanges please help me

Steve Sokolowski · · #97318

I’m working with Chris to see if we can contact an eBay seller and offer him $300 or $500 to drive here and deliver the memory

Steve Sokolowski · · #97319

I’m also told there are services where you can pay people to drive places and get items for you

Maybe I should shut off my Antminers then. Costing me electricity for nothing apparently!! what a goofballs!

The mining servers are only crashing for 5 minutes every 6 hours at most

Marduke · · #97322

I currently can’t connect to X17 or to ETHash-Low memory. Apparently as the mining server degrades it starts refusing connections or once dropped won’t let them reconnect.

Marduke · · #97323

Can’t connect to RandomX either.

Marduke · · #97324

THis has been going on since a little before noon.

Steve Sokolowski · · #97325

another server ran out of disk space, so Chris just cleared that up

Steve Sokolowski · · #97326

all this stuff seems to be happening at once

stxmining · · #97327

What is going on with the pool? Miners aren’t able to keep a connection & payout options continue to decrease. I have already summited two support tickets on this and they haven’t been addressed

romes · · #97328

All my payout coins seem to be disabled. Kusama, Polkadot, and Doge and Im showing 0.00% proportional payout on everything. Any ideas?

romes · · #97329

nm, reading through, looks like server maintenance issues.. thanks

romes · · #97330

id drive you the memory if I was in europe, i haven’t got anything else to do!

TragicMiner · · #97331

xmr running again! :D

LandUzu · · #97332

@steve Where do you need the ram collecting/delivering to/from?

Marduke · · #97333

randomx and ethash-lowmemory seem to be working again. But still can’t connect to anything using X17. was working fine earlier.

Marduke · · #97334

web page and payouts all look fine again.

-MaVerick- · · #97335

yep, Doge is back in business

Steve Sokolowski · · #97337

everything is back to normal for now

Steve Sokolowski · · #97338

I’m working on a way to get the mining servers to restart within 1 minute instead of 5 minutes when the crashes happen

Steve Sokolowski · · #97339

the RAM is needed in Pennsylvania, but we just found another solution

Steve Sokolowski · · #97340

we can take a developer’s desktop offline and use its memory

Marduke · · #97341

Still cant connect to X17 algo. Multiple miners.

is this retribution for no one giving tips -_-

There might be some coins in error due to a different problem - I’ll ask Chris to investigate

same here, my polygon earnings switched to LTC some how even tho its at 0% while the back up coin only got .05 cents worth so that’s weird. admins really droppoing the ball just to reply , ’no wide spread issues submit a ticket’ just read the chat, theirs your reports of issues

Not to mention that I’m still wiating on my first payout for said matic, 5 days and counting

ElectricEnigma · · #97346

admins have been super transparent about issues and have done well getting them resolved quickly... chill.

Steve Sokolowski · · #97347

the "wrong coins" issue is caused by how long it takes for the price updates to be received upon restart - I’m working on making that happen more quickly, we’re getting the memory to prevent the restarts at all, and Chris is discontinuing coins that have no exchanges to reduce the length of the updates

-MaVerick- · · #97348

agreed Enigma, can’t compain really and now I can take a closer look at Litecoin. Maybe it’s cool, who knows :D

-MaVerick- · · #97349

got it, thanks. Maybe there can be a post about which coins are going to be discontinued that way we can stop mining if they’re on the list. hope matic is allowed to stay ( prayer hands )

you sure can complain if you have a certain strategy you need to meet to keep everything profitable. the payouts and not being able to cash out would be one thing in itself, the other coins and such are really throwing off what i had already set up

-MaVerick- · · #97353

you can always set a backup pool if I understand stand correctly, so if you really need to stay online so to speak don’t set everything on one horse I guess. Kinda like a backup, always good to have if you need it...and you will need it

-MaVerick- · · #97354

stand=things...its getting late

Banished_Privateer · · #97355

I don’t mind some LTC on occasions but it’s gonna be a while before I can pay it out :P What I tend to do is shift mining 100% to LTC when it hits a low price.

that would not help anything as i’m not having disconnect issues on my scrypt miners, it’s still connected to my primary pool. and its not so much staying online thats the issue tho thats mighty fine , it’s having everything function as it should that’s throwing off the strat. I can account for down time but some of these issues one of after another are another thing

steve_empire · · #97360

Is there a place to go look up ongoing problems on Prohash? I’ve been gone from my home since noon and I just get back and I see my script miner is no longer mining coins on Prohash, although my miner is still working I’m not getting any payouts. It’s been doing that almost 10 hours now. I switched it over to Nicehash and my miner is working fine. I just need to know when there is an issue going on. It sucks to think you can’t leave home for fear that your miner isn’t going to work for sure. Are there any notification areas that will let us know what’s going on so we don’t have to second guess our equipment?

Murr808 · · #97361

i just disconnected from the pool for some reason...

Murr808 · · #97362

prohashing is very inconsistent ever since their server upgrade...

mchat · · #97363

My polygon payout finally came in earlier but now I see this message and hope its not affecting my accounting in any way for tax purposes " You have a coin with a negative balance, so your payout proportions are being overriden to earn that coin. No action is necessary, and your normal payout proportions will automatically resume once the balance of all coins is zero."

There have been no widespread issues for the past 18 hours; when issues do exist, we post them in the forums. This is the best place to stay on top of things that are happening..

Any issues with ethash? Seeing the same type symptoms from a couple of days ago where miner wont connect.

over the last nine hours I have been unable to get miners to connect to pool.

Rivve · · #97370

try connecting to eu.prohashing.com worked for me when i couldnt connect

panix75 · · #97371

eu.prhashing.com will connect. Something must be going on with the main server. Wouldnt think it would take 9+ hours to figure that out though.

Litecoinpool.org seems to work very well for litecoins. I use poolin.com as backup pools and they have been used.

US mining IS DOWN on multiple algorithims

ForumMax25x · · #97374

Seems like connection issues have been a pattern for a long time. Youtuber Voskcoin reported on that a few years ago too. Probably a minimalistic bandwidth problem that can’t handle all the growing traffic. Growing pains as they say.

Marduke · · #97375

X17 algo connection problems, one miner is indicating stratum_receive_line_error, if that helps

bMeister1 · · #97376

Steve mentioned that they were able to adjust server restart times down to 10sec which became effective late in the evening EDT. I suspect that change is what caused a bunch of miners to get kicked off. Mine kept saying the server was refusing the connection.

bMeister1 · · #97377

They work now but as of 10am EDT the server had refused all my reconnections since around 4-5am. Here’s hoping it stays that way.

ForumMax25x · · #97378

Minimalistic bandwidth issues, minimalistic ram memory issues, minimalistic hard drive space. I don’t know how they even stay in business. This is disappointing for engineering geeks. Maybe they need some who knows how to run a business.

-MaVerick- · · #97379

well, go ahead I guess

I appreciate your criticism; however, I hope you can understand in this economy, it isn’t possible to buy things quickly at any cost because inflation is out of control and nobody wants to earn money

Steve Sokolowski · · #97382

we can only move as fast as the vendors and shippers do, unfortunately

Yes I understand but I think foresight planning is necessary at this point. Crypto is going mainstream in El Salvador and Texas and you should get prepared for it.

Less miners = less difficulty = higher chance for you finding a block.

I think he’s just asking for a more Proactive vs reactive stance. Some of this should have been planned for or at least seen coming down the line with audits. If money is a issue setup a tip project fund and let us know and we direct hash power to fund.

and I KNOW money isn’t a issue now its the supply chain , take away should be Proactive vs reactive , let the forum know what possibly might need to be occuring ,upgraded, rented, swapped within the next X and maybe some of us can be of assistance before thresholds are crossed
