Re: Coin changes - Additions and discontinuations

I have finally updated this post to list coins that will be discontinued in the near future. I will also be posting error messages on the affected coins to alert users to the pending discontinuation.

Re: Coin changes - Additions and discontinuations

I noticed Golem and Tron were added. Any other ERC20 tokens that I missed? I am constantly checking the list, but the list is getting quite long. It would be nice if the new coins could be announced here when they are added. We've been making an effort to post the new coin additions to our Twitter,...

Bug causes inadvertent security notification emails

Hi Everyone, I wanted to explain what is happening with security notification emails. I first want to emphasize that these messages are not a result of a hack or breach of our security. I was performing a routine check of our services today, and I discovered that there was one customer with an inval...

Mining server restarted

Hi everyone,

We just restarted the mining server to apply a fix to improve the accuracy of the hashrate calculations, especially for users using cloud mining services like Nicehash. Steve will have more details in the morning.

Thanks,

May 3 balances increased to compensate for downtime

Hi everyone, I apologize for the issue with the mining server over the morning. We have corrected the underlying bug, but the balances of miners were still abnormally low indicating that some shares during that period were not credited properly. I went through our wallets and found that we had an ad...

Re: Equihash now available

About 12% of shares are being rejected for that reason you state. That's way too high, so I'm going to disable Equihash mining for now and Steve will fix it when he wakes up in the morning.

Re: 2018 Taxes on Trades - Boooo

Comparing real estate rentals to mining pools seems to be a "round peg in a square hole" analogy. As I understand the business model of Prohashing, we (i.e. the Miners) are independent contractors who provide services to the mining pool. We select the particular currency for payment and p...
