Successfully mining whole night on x11, no earnings shown

by Blesser · · Post #14841

Hello guys,

Sorry for the newbie question, but I spent a lot of searching hours both in the forum and Help sections.

I'm running following command having 1070 ti video card (ccminer 8.16-KlausT (64bit) for nVidia GPUs):
"ccminer -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u blesser"

Following responce received:
[2017-12-30 23:26:24] NVML GPU monitoring enabled.
[2017-12-30 23:26:24] 1 miner thread started, using 'x11' algorithm.
[2017-12-30 23:26:24] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333
[2017-12-30 23:26:25] Stratum difficulty set to 65536
[2017-12-30 23:26:25] prohashing.com:3333 x11 block 1341862
[2017-12-30 23:26:27] prohashing.com:3333 x11 block 1341862
[2017-12-30 23:26:52] GPU #0: MSI GTX 1070 Ti, 15.09 MH/s

....
[2017-12-31 10:03:56] GPU #0: MSI GTX 1070 Ti, 14.85 MH/s

But after 12 hours mining there is no changes in a dashboard, no new workers added and no changes in the upper side of my personal screen for x11 it is still the same:
X11: 0.04268¢ · 0.0000000334BTC

But Scrypt balance kinda changes
Scrypt: 2.68265¢ · 0.0000021000BTC

BTC and LTC payout adresses registered but balances are zero.

What do I miss and where is my x11 12 hours mining reward?

Then how can I switch my dashboard to show x11 instead of Scrypt?

I'm not sure what the previous parameter would have done or how the system read it in.
Would need a screen capture of the live miner status with the old settings to figure out anymore.

If you remove the a=x11 it should default to scrypt autopool.

But I do think the Nvida cards do better hashing on X11 than they do on scrypt. That said I think if you do some research, you will find there are coins that you cannot mine with an ASIC machine that may pay out even larger profits. Ethereum would be a big one to look into. But you would have to find a pool that allows mining those ASIC-resistant coins in order to find the better profits.

Good luck!
HAPPY HASHING!

you need a=x11 in the password arguments too so the server knows which algorithm you want to mine. so add -p a=x11 or whatever it is for your ccminer, like -O username:"a=x11 n=gtx1070"
mining on the wrong algorithm for however long won't generate any valid shares, so your 12 hours is wasted. you would be lucky to find shares with a gpu anyway, like appleminer was saying. minimum difficulty has risen a lot. maybe you'd have some luck solo mining easier coins but profitability is still terrible

Unfortunately none of your suggestions worked for me, miner just showing authentication errors
[2018-01-06 22:37:21] Stratum authentication failed
[2018-01-06 22:37:21] ...retry after 10 seconds
or
[2018-01-06 22:39:46] 1 miner thread started, using 'bitcoin' algorithm.
[2018-01-06 22:39:49] HTTP request failed: Could not resolve host: blesser
[2018-01-06 22:39:49] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 10 seconds

The only working line of all suggested is "ccminer -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u blesser" but there is no coins or workers appear.
even "ccminer -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u blesser" does not work.

I gave up and went to other pools, sorry guys. Will try prohashing again when S9 ASIC arrives.

No you wont...because like your fail messages....[2018-01-06 22:39:46] 1 miner thread started, using 'bitcoin' algorithm.
the pool does not have a SHA-256 bitcoin algorithm.

The same reason your settings will not work here, the S9s wont either.

Until maybe sometime in the summer when they put SHA-256 mining in place.
Until then you need to supply the algo you want to mine with here, and it needs to be of either scrypt or x11.

Hello ,
I'm having the same problem I already tried several mining softwares all happened the same thing here in prohashing. in other pools I tend to mine in X11 normally.

my hardware configuration is a gtx 1050 ti card
  ethminer configuration:
ethminer -G -P stratum+tcp://user:a=x11@prohashing.com:3333 -t 1
ccminer configuration:
ccminer-x64 -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u user -p a=x11

I used claymore mining software and I had the same problem too.
with equihash this problem does not occur only with x11 and only on prohashing.com

thanks,
