And... back down :(

Anybody else having problems with ethash?

I’m getting not authorized : -2 Authorization failed because there are no coins available to mine for algorithm 10.

yes, briefly.

Hm, looks like it finally connected.

mine are currently churning

It was a mining server restart

Looks like we had a happy hour/10 mins

I must have blinked and missed the happy hour.

Seems like Nvidia locked my 3060 even harder with the 472.12 driver, won’t budge from 26.44MH/s with gminer 2.66-2.69. Back to 470.05 and the persistent screen flicker with every restart, that 50MH/s is too good to pass up

I’m using the current driver for the 3060 and no problemo so far

whats your command line?

You’re getting full speed with the current driver? I don’t have anything special going on with my line, just power tracking. I tried the tuning options with 2.67 to no avail and 2.69 says it auto tunes for LHR, no change tho

gminer 2.66 with the 470.05 driver is the only way I can get the full 50MH/s from mine

no not the full power, you will not get that without that driver. But up to 33MH/s should be reachable, even with the current driver. Version 2.70 of gminer is also looking every good when I look at my overnight stats

Ah, gotcha. It’s just not worth it to run at those speeds for me so I’ll probably be on 470 and 2.66 until they can get it figured out properly

I would do the same if there was a choice for me. The new 3060ti is doing some good work though, even with that Hynix whatever memory

very picky when it comes to overclocking, that hit me a little by suprise

Not sending it back because of that, it makes a difference of 1MH/s to Samsung memory 3060TIs and prices for the same card went up 100 Euro in the last 2 days

I made a guide for my dad on how to connect xmrrig and phoenix miner to prohashing decided to put it on a blog post with a referral link lol

tried to make it as straight forward as possible to get people I know more into mining

Connection error: malformed server message.... what am i doing wrong?

I’m getting that using gminer on a laptop 1050

eth lowmemory doh

What should i oc this jewel at?

Messed with it for half the day, but the 780s are far too old... However in good news, I was able to get 2 AMD 480s for about 270 just under my 180 day ROI.

When do eth miner fees go down or up?... what dictates miner fees?

I could be wrong but it has been my understanding that network traffic on the eth blockchain are what dictate the prices. People doing more transactions cause price to go up because people pay a higher fee to get there transaction through first. Less transactions, less demand = lower fees

To get their transaction......

I was trying to tx eth from the blockchain back to coinbase and it was like 25% of the value...smh waaaay too much...so it’s gonna sit there for a while lol

thank god for a service like prohashing, so we don’t have to take care of stuff like that

I thought I saw somewhere there is place that shows the gas prices so can watch it trend and see when it is lowest. Make your transfer then but I believe it is always pretty expensive.

I haven’t done any moving of funds anywhere yet. But I thought I did read something somewhere that many people change their eth to something else like LTC before moving then change it back to eth once it’s on the exchange it needs to be on cause it ends up being cheaper. Would have to research that though.

Actually I was trying to move shibu from the blockchain, and the miner fee was in eth... just checked a sec ago and now it’s near 505 of value smh

It’s only 10 mil shibu lol

And this is using coinbase wallet

Just started being paid in shibu =) have about $1.60 worth so far

Yeah, I have a bunch of SHIB sat in a Binance account and it’s just waaaay too much trouble and expense to try and get it all in one place

Having trouble configuring neoscrypt can any 1 send me the way the miner should be written please

Is it better to pplns ethash-lowmemory...

I’m finding quite a few blocks is why i’m asking

Sumoblei wrote: I’m finding quite a few blocks is why i’m asking

Like everything, it’s price/hash. You can find blocks all day long but 1 day of a billion coins at .00000000001 is still less than a penny a day.

ouch

How is something like the payout threshold calculated for coins?

Noobdude wrote: How is something like the payout threshold calculated for coins?

Good morning! There is information on payout thresholds at https://prohashing.com/help/setting-mining-payouts#selecting-thresholds that may answer this question for you.

strugling ti access prohashing web in last two days, is there any update or anything else?

*to

use brave, chrome and mozilla, still facing same case

Reddersl wrote: Having trouble configuring neoscrypt can any 1 send me the way the miner should be written please

Should not be any different than mining any other coin. Just make sure you get the correct server address and port and pass the a=neoscrypt paramater in the password

It seems Nvidia is not happy with limiting LHR card to roughly 50% hashrate. I have a RTX 3060 that was getting around 28MH/s now it is getting 4-5MH/s. Looking forward to the day when Prohashing gets KAWPOW or one of the other PoW algos

The minimum payout threshold is set at 2 times the network fee, because otherwise half the money would be spent sending you money and the other half would be spent when you try to send it to someone else. For coins that have no payouts yet, like Shiba Inu, a default high minimum payout threshold is set until the actual cost of sending transactions is determined. The free threshold is set at 200 times the network transaction fee, which limits our costs in paying fees to 12.5% of our profits.

Looks like we’re sub 5 cents for ethash profitability

hey steve, any news about strugling to accees prohashing web?

i cant access jira.prohasing tho, any clue?

I’m not finding chia/xch for payouts

Questions about balance computation:

From what I understand, the "price" of the coin can be computed at the time it shows up in the blockchain. Is this how #prochain determines the price it is going to send the IRS? Also, how is it deciding price? An average of some kind? Can this be changed, say perhaps use only coinbase...

I’m not a tax lawyer. This is not financial Advice "Report the fair market value of the mined coins at the time of receipt as gross income." So if you earned 1.50 you pay tax on that 1.50 even if the unerlying security is now worth 5000 dollars. Taking that money out is then subject to taxing like selling a stock does.

Thanks...that’s not what I am asking tho. Ultimately I would like to be able to reproduce the value reported to the IRS based on the transactions for establishing a basis. It seems like #prohasing is sniffing out prices (not sure of which exchanges) to determine when to payout. I’m sure there are many ways to determine price, but at the time of the payout the "set price" should be what it was (at the exchanges that were sniffed) during the transaction. It’s unclear to me what #prohashing is doing, though.

Exchanges in use is on the status page for the individual coins. that is what they are using for price. Some coins have one entry, others are on a lot more. I believe that is an average in that case but I could be wrong there.

There’s chia as an algorithm for the worker configurator, but not as a payout option

Thanks. What I want to know is if the total reported in my account is from what the price was at the time of the transaction, or if it was the daily sum at the time of the price sniffing.

Which total? There’s 4 of them.

I’m pretty sure that prices are set at the time the share is mined.

The value that is sent to customers in the forms is a sum of the value of each share at the instant it was mined, because that’s when the customer earned the money. You can research whether you believe you owe additional taxes based on the change of the value of the coins since the instant the share was submitted.

@ Steve Sokolowski Thanks for the answer. I’m sure this method is not wrong. From the point of view of the user in the mining pool, he/she has not receive the coins until it is given to them via the transaction. I’m sure you can argue that a balance in the account of the user is equivalent to "given". I won’t argue against it, but it would be good if we could choose as users to be at the time of the transaction. As far as I can tell from the IRS guidance, this is also OK plus it is a lot easier to look up the value of the coins in the block chain at the time of the transaction than to track the values throughout the day.

Woah look at the price of SHIB!

I mean that is nice, but I need it to be like 50 cents to make it life changing money.

I’d settle for 1 cent ^_^

I mean that is put a dent in the mortgage money. I need that Retire at the age of 45 money.

woah shiba token is making some ground. Instead of the usuall loss I’ve got a 80% plus

ETC mining went down at 12:59am EDT. Gminer says the server sends back that there are no coins to mine on that algorithm and the website status page shows no hashrate.

did something just die?

Maybe one of the mining servers is down again, have miner at different location working fine but here are down, pool dead?

come back up now .. just everything fell off

There were a lot of RandomX workers connected that were submitting low difficulty shares; they disconnected and reconnected with a higher difficulty to reduce load

@Steve: You are still using 1 Doge per kb TX size, but you could already switch to 0.01 fee per kb - maybe worth having a closer look on this (:

Your dogecoin.conf need "payfee=0.01", you need to be running 1.14.4 and only 1.14.4 nodes will relay it - but as I said, maybe worth having a look on it

If you submit a support ticket, I’ll be glad to assign this to Steven to investigate

For technical requests like this, it’s always best to create a support ticket, so that the issue can be tracked and assigned to the most qualified person to resolve it

kk - I can create one (:

Did awhile ago, already got a response on it.

Is there a good resource for checking DAG file sizes? I’ve found multiples but some of them seem are out of date, and others just seem wrong.

The "Status" page lists the sizes of the coins we mine

Thanks Steve. Gave me my answer.

Steve always has the answer.

I for one welcome Steve as our new overlord
