<3

is Kapow down again?

Yes - there is the following error in the logs: CreateNewBlock: TestBlockValidity failed: bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent, CheckTxInputs: inputs missing/spent (code 16)

this looks like a complex issue that is going to require significant investigation, because it’s not in our code

the issue was resolved; it looks like a restart of the daemon was needed

we have no idea why

Thanks Steve

Something off with the Chia pooling now? Usually accepted shares are around 98.5-99.5%, now it is 85%.

Chia was down for about 30 minutes last night while Chris moved the coin daemon over to a new server.

Right now, it’s UST, but that doesn’t mean all stable coins. They’ve been working specifically against Luna..

Honestly it’s terrible LUNA TERRA devs, their algorithm for stable coin and collateral was really bad. You don’t need bad actor in UST to make it fail.

that’s right - there is not yet an algorithm known that can keep a coin stable

it’s a simple as that, and these other coins on Tron like USDD are going to suffer the same problem because they haven’t discovered whatever that new technology is

As we slowly get into Summer here in TX and Eth keeps dropping. I think I’m going to have to shut down my miners.

since the the morning of may 15th the hashrate the website shows for my single L3 has gone down by like 15-20%. Im looking at it and its reject rate is a lot higher then usual. Im watching pings to server1.prohashing.com they are constant when rejects spike....whats going on?!

(my miner localhashrate and error% are all unchanged, the pool is just returning a lot higher rejects then usual, constantly since that date)

when i look at my miner output, its a TON of these as the reject: rejected a46793cb Diff 102K/32768 L3 0 pool 0 (Job does not exist, or is ve

I’ll look into this issue now

Chris will release a fix in 30 minutes to address this issue, GenTarkin

please report back in 60 minutes if there is still a problem

Chris issued the release and we believe this issue has been resolved

steve, I let it mine overnight, and the miner is still showing roughly a 25% reject rate =( and webui on prohash still showing same net lower hashrate.

we’re working on this issue right now and hope to have a fix shortly

Chris will release a first attempt at a fix at 1:00pm EDT

oh ok, thought that was already done yesterday =P if so, wouldnt that make tis the second attempt?

That would be super sad! I’ve missed seeing you post!

unfortunately, when the mining server is so complex, there is no way to create a test environment that can simulate every type of miner, and it’s common that we have to revert

when we do a release, we only interrupt a very small fraction of workers to start with, so a revert doesn’t inconvenience. many people

Cardano/ADA DJED stable coin looks interesting.

I think I saw the worker restart so I think server was restarted. Hard to say if anything improved quite yet, but now i get reject errors for quite a different reason:

yeah im still seeing 15% or so reject rates =(

prior to the 15th it was like 1-5%

a bunc of those "bug in server" ones now

I’ll continue the investigation

thanks, I also updated the post w/ more logging output

ok, done

Chris is releasing the changes now

I’ll check back in an hr to see if it recurs

I thk the latest change may have fixed the problem. Mining for 17mins now w/o rejects .. will keep an eye on it and inform if regresses

35min and still 0 rejects...beautiful

1hr and still 0 rejects... good job!

that’s great, GenTarkin!

let me know if we can be of any more assistance

still goin great ... comin up on 3hrs and still 0 rejects... not sure how thats even possible, but awesome =)

the mining server changes went well beyond just fixing this problem; we ran code quality tools and discovered things that had been problems for years

i lost my proportion of pplns work on bitcoingold, spent weeks getting up to around 46% and now it’s reset in the past few days without any block being found

also dynamic difficulty seems to be acting strange, it goes excessively high difficulty leading to no shares being submitted for hours

Please submit a ticket and Paula will be glad to work with whoever is responsible for that issue to debug - thanks!

Wow, went from $3.00 per day when I first started a year ago to $1.00 per day a few months ago to now $.60 per day. Ouch!

yea times are tough. today im making 21-23. at rates a year ago when i started i would probably be at 80-90 a day. my holdings are down 55% currently as well. gonna take a long while to pay everything off

but pretty much everyone is in the same boat

and that boat is shaking violently after a big whale made waves

-52% is just a minor setback... right? RIGHT?

right, -90% is a major one

my miners are looking kinda funny. I get shares, but no jobs

I guess its receiving something so just a cosmetic. it looks weird

Until things get better my two L3+ are off. Even in cheap WA power we gotta switch them off

hi

TeamRedMiner

Notice: archive.prohashing.com will be available until some time the end of next week when we’ll be releasing a breaking change that will make it unfeasible for us to maintain both sites.

Got to say a HUGE , WELL DONE on the changes to Ethash, my hash rate is now keeping way higher than any other pool I ever used. No statles, no rejects . Never seen a pool like it

Sarah Manter wrote: Notice: archive.prohashing.com will be available until some time the end of next week when we’ll be releasing a breaking change that will make it unfeasible for us to maintain both sites.

Can you please add the ability to change the colors in the next release? I don’t know if there was a poll done, but the colors are very distracting in my opinion. It’s hard to look at.

What colors would you like?

Does anyone know if SAND will be available in the payout proportion list soon? Since Coinbase has recently enlisted this on their exchange.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback! We're so glad it's working as intended for you.

Steven, our amazing Coin Sage, says he can add it the next time he adds payout coins.
