HA - regarding the update to allow for Pickaxe pool. Can you check to make sure it's working appropriately? It's telling me I would earn $0.00 mining LUX (phi algo), when I definitely earn quite a lot more than that mining individually on BSOD or algo on other pools. Something might be wrong with the formula that brings in current estimates or something.
Edit: I should note that I believe I followed the directions in the OP about only turning it on when it's disabled and a wallet is ready for it. I might have API'd it out though as it now admits it can't fetch the rates from Pickaxe. How do I go about fixing this you think?
Unfortunately, there is not much one can do once the pool issues the temporary block except wait until it expires. Unfortunately, there is nothing on the pool website that even mentions the API ban, let alone describes when it will be lifted. I do know that the ban is lifted eventually as I can get pricing information from the pool now. If I can find some contact info for the pool admin, I will try to see if they can relax their restrictions a bit.
Also, it looks like the pool only provides price estimates for the current coin mined by each algorithm. Right now I am getting an accurate price for Lux, but if you look on the pool website, prices for two other Phi-based coins (Folm and Seraph) are zero even though they both have miners. I bet when you tried it earlier, the Phi port was mining a different coin and so the price estimate for Lux was zero. This is unlike other pools that provide price estimates for all the coins regardless of which one is the port's current coin. Unfortunately, this means that the software occasionally won't be able to calculate a price for coins on the pool due to the missing data. I'll see if I can reach out to the pool admin and talk to them about these issues.
