We’re not aware of any mining server issues, but the live data server did crash for 10 minutes

no money was actually lost and mining continued the entire time

Atoms payments still pending ?

Steve Sokolowski wrote: no money was actually lost and mining continued the entire time

My miners were sitting at 0 H/s with Idle power usage and unable to connect.

It wasn’t for very long, maybe less than 10 minutes, but there was definitely no earnings during it

you’re right, I just checked gminer and no jobs incoming from 19:30-19:45 CEST

my gpu was submitting shares from old jobs for a few minutes, then silence. It wasn’t a classic disconnect, more like a one sided silence

RandomX was not affected if I see that correctly, just the holy ethash

Happy hour was banned I heard?

Issues like this are best addressed by contacting Paula, but remember that if the payout threshold was hit yesterday, then payouts aren’t promised for another 9 hours

If their has any intention to bring back Kawpow, You might want to consider Firo (Zcoin) which goes live on the 26th Oct using a Progpow alog called Firopow . From what I can see its got very little

changes What Kawpow is using, Trex- and Team read already have miner set up for it and more i Importantly Nicehack is staying away from it. Link to the 2miners blog below. I figure it should be one of the easiest algo’s to implement as its using a slight change to the original Progpow that was set up for Rth (which they still are not using https://2miners.com/blog/firo-zcoin-hard-fork-new-algorithm-firopow-how-to-prepare/

damm it, the two post below were meant to be part of the same entry, slipped on my enter button half way into the post

double dammit, its way to early and Im still on my first coffee. Just noticed all the typos below, Hopefully its readable

No judgment here. Between typos and auto-correct I don’t think I have written anything legible in a long time.

Finally finished moving my harvester to its new home. Has 62 plots and room for another 100. The proofs found have less that 1 second response times.

is there any difference using a mechanical hardrive vs ssd

for farming Chia

Only for building plots. It speeds up the process that is it. Once plots of built, move then to traditional HDD’s.

You can plot using HDD’s as well, it is just slow.

Ive not done any farming but just looking into it. So if I understand Youd have a SSD to build plots then transfer them to HDD?

So how many plots could a 500gb ssd build before it died.../

that depends on the SSD. On the Chia github wiki there is a drive endurance document.

And that is only a guide really. Some drives, even the exact same model, with last longer.

wow 1.3TiB of writes

That is correct. In the plot building process the Temp directory is pointed to SSD or highspeed NVMe’s and the final location will be HDD’s.

Gotcha thx for the info

You standard HDD’s that hold you finished plot will last a long time so long as they are not allowed to overheat. It you can find them cheap the surveillance rated HDD’s are designed for 24x7 operations.

Let me add, the ONLY reason to use the NVME SSD is they are faster. But they burn out.

Another thing to consider is there is chia plotting services so if you already have the storage space and you don’t want to wait forever, you can pay someone else to plot the NFT for you. But research always ya know.

what happen with hashrate?

In general or a specific algo?

well, I for one like my hashrate, could use a GPU more or 2

I also like the way the Shiba token is going. Up

I would like to have a couple more GPU’s myself but I don’t want to sell a kidney to afford them

I see in the server status page that all but 2 servers are in a degraded state. Is there a problem brewing?

I see Chia is slowly trending down. It is does not turn around it will be worthless to mine in no time.

its like RandomX sort of, nice to have but hardly making a profit out of it

and yeah...I know that kidney problem. Humans just don’t spawn with enough of them.

No. The database just locked up; the mining server functioned as designed until the long query finished and then inserted all the shares with no loss of money.

Curious, is there a way to get paid out in Chia for mining Chia? With other algo’s we can add a password paramater but that is not an option with chia unless it is part of the payout instructions.

You can set your payout proportions to 100% Chia to do that

Wouldn’t that change all mining to payout in chia. I was referring to just chia mining like mining a static coin with the c and m password paramaters

Vance just responded to my question below. Currently this is not an option but maybe something in the future. Just sharing the knowledge.

Thanks for sharing.. That was a question I also had on day one with Chia. I just never bothered to ask. Instead I just set my chia payout to a small percentage so that I’m still earning little bits.

Are the m8ner servers down? Or just my machines lol

So the AMD rig is finally up. I had to remove one of them as I couldn’t get anything stable with it in use. Another card I can’t undervolt it as much as I wanted to keep it stable. But 22-25Mh on etchash per card will have to do.

how much W do they use? It doesn’t sound like something I should try here in germany when looking at the etchash numbers up there

Ethash is looking good though, almost a small happy hour

These are 4GB so I’m doing ETChash. about 90 Watts

I know, followed your story here quite actively but with those Watts, yeah, nothing I could pull off here with the energy pricing

you never know how it will look like in a year, Etchash might take over if "the merge" ever happens

-MaVerick- wrote: I know, followed your story here quite actively but with those Watts, yeah, nothing I could pull off here with the energy pricing

Yeah I think roughly its about $1.70 a day after electricity costs. So not terrible.

Is ETCHASH better than ETHASH-LOWMEMORY for 4gb cards?

ETC 3.810 ¢/MH/s Lowmem 3.328 ¢/MH/s So it’s close, but ETC wins for me right now.

In this game, pennies count, every bit help

Seems like 17.6 MHs is the best I can get out of 1650’s and that is will mem core set to +950

Are we due of an eth block found soon

Pool luck 75%

and the block difficulty is chasing us up now

Did I miss happy hour? #$!@@*& electric co. suxorz

just a little scratching on 10c

I have an old 3gb card that I have been using for a while now with ETC but it stopped working today, did something change?

Dag size is at 3GB, can no longer use that one for ETC.

Time to move it to low mem. But In my low mem testing with my 3gb card i couldn’t get it to work because even with the l= argument it was serving me coins that were too large for my memory.

I’ve had that issue for a few weeks now... out of mem with a 3gb laptop

I switched it to unmineable this morning when I noticed it and been doing NANO there all day with ETC. By that luck it will probably die there in the next few days too then

A share has not been submitted for the worker. The current algorithm could be too difficult for the worker. If a CPU or GPU is being used to mine, look at the CPU and GPU quick start guides for recommend algorithms to mine. what do it mean ?

man I gotta stop watching that shiba token...we’re in "more than enough for a new fridge" level but I have to stay strong, have to remember the way of the HODL

better than sexorz

I can’t complain about that shib growth. Paid for the new computer already. 🤩

anyone else having website issues?

looks like it’s back up

It means that you havent submitted a share yet which can be caused by mining coins your system is not fast enough to mine

Go SHIB!!!!

Oh man, it’s nearly up to the amount of ATOM I have and I’ve been putting money into that for far longer

I’m having trouble with the website too, and the api

Looks like they’re working again

I’m kinda mad at myself for not just dumping 1000 into shib when it showed up on coinbase. but whatever

Shut down machine to add new video card. Started machine back up. Windows is now updating so I guess that one will be offline for a bit.

Hindsight is 20/20

Same here alynn had usdc I was gonna convert but then I decided I should save just in case I need to cash out. That was a mistake.

I bought about $15 of it on a whim back in May when I first got into Crypto and didn’t know anything about it. Within a few weeks it was worth $6 lol

Really happy I did now, it’s already into ’new shoes’ territory, I’m holding out for ’New mattress’ ^_^

a new mattress gets even more comfy when payed with crypto

Shiba is testing my willpower right now...better wrap my hands with something so I can’t do anything stupid

HODL... be strong

usually we keep a little SHIB in our reserve to have extra for tx fees

but I told Chris to sell so we only have 100.5% of customer balances

this is the most insane bubble

no way this holds

Just wait for the bottom to drop out

Appears as though Coinbase is having issues. Website and mobile app are not working.

App finally loaded. Took a minute of so.

I have well over 1 million Shib (I add like 30k a day in payouts from here...lets get to a penny!

I’ve got just over a million

Looks like it is starting to drop
