Prohashing is non-stop surveilence to see if you're still mining

by karnoka · · Post #12082

Hi, i have been mining at prohashing for over a month now.
i've been having this issue where if i don't pay attention for a while my hashpower starts dissapearing into thin air.

last week has been taking the cake, i had to reboot my L3+ miner almost daily.
sometimes the miner just stops mining for "me", while the machine seems to be running normal as usual according to the miners configpanel and by the sound of it..

is this some kind of a bug?
why does my machine sometimes keep producing hashes but no income?

Karnoka, are you using the latest firmware for the L3+?

I do not have any of these issues, however, if you do not have a backup server, such as litecoinpool or whatnot, when prohashing goes down, your L3+ will act as though its still doing something and will even be loud and taking power. So if you do not have a backup pool, set one up.

Hrm, interesting observation, i have a similar issue but just with my titan rig.
I used to be able to run it both static coin and pps. More recently i solo mined dnote, no problem.
Last few weeks thou my titan does not like this pool anymore, the more i try tweak the settings in password field the harder it gets to get back on. if it even connects the hash power fluctuate heavily, and shifts to my backup pool, while still showing up on a gradual descending slope of hash power on PH at the same time, until hitting zero. The titan keeps on grinding being kicked between PH and backup, and at some point get stuck on 20-30 mh/s total hashing while die temps stay as if it was hashing full power. and this seem to keep going around forever i'd be happy if machine actually ran 100% half of the day like this.

Mostly i just want to be able to run the rig on here, but i can not babysit it 24/7.

Btw, the D3 have a tendency to show dead boards or dies, but even hours later pool is still showing rig as hashing at capacity..

The titans take forever to ramp up to speed and start to show their actual hashrates.
If you are coin hopping each hop takes it some time after a switch to ramp back up to speed, the restart times are horrible.

Since they have a limit imposed on the pool that basically kicks low hashrate performing systems that aren't up to snuff, it could be the titan is triggering a kickout that its hashrate is too low. Maybe try adding c=bitconnect to the titan and see if it will static mine just bitconnects and not hop and get up to speed and stay there.
