Hello! I start to use firmware on my Antminer z9. But i saw that 4 of them started to mine zec.ss.poolin.com - for dev fee, i guess. But after more than 1 hour they did not change back to my pool. I rebooted them, but the change back to zec.ss.poolin.com. Is this a bug?

Support ID please? Are you running minerstat, by chance? Join the discord and send me a PM to get my attention and we can figure out what is going on here.. to answer your question, no, I expect it is not a bug since these firmwares have been running for months without that type of issue. Let's figure out what is going on in your environment.

Are you mining piratepool by chance? I see problems with piratepool connectivity reasonably often (you can use luxor's arrr pool instead). If your other pools are not configured properly or are not up, cgminer will automatically switch to a working pool.

Just a data point regarding this: I've noticed several occasions where my Mini has continued to mine for a few hours, but is not mining my pool. I know it has happened with Prohashing multiple times, and I think at least once on Flypool. To the best of my knowledge, its been maybe 5-10 times since 2.1d came out, but I've never spent time on it or looked into any further - I've just restarted and it fixes itself (though that is actually adding some dev mining on restart).

One thought...

There is a new antminer malware that does not infect the miner directly, but instead uses the API to change the mining pools and runs from another infected computer (at least that is what it appears so far). It uses flypool for the mining. I haven't managed to get a copy of the malware yet to figure out exactly what it is doing, however. I confirmed this on another customer's system yesterday and implemented a temporary workaround for that user.

If you happen to be using awesomeminer, you will be able to tell if this is happening to you because all of the pools will disappear except the malware pool.

If you'll catch me on discord, we can troubleshoot it together and see what is going on.

Thank you,

Jason
