Re: [ANN][COSA] Cosanta POW + POS / CPU mining [English]

Can you take a look at the file if I send you the recovered wallet.dat file? Thanks

is it old file or did you create new one?  You can use integrated tool for recovery your wallet.dat

It should be the old file, yes, but seems corrupt, integrated tool starts automatically so tried that, failes saying "Walled.dat corrupt, salvage failed"

command line -salvagewallet doesn't even give a message but it doesn't work

I undeleted all I could think of, including backup files, but none of them contains my 7 addresses. Seems like they are all new.

The Cosanta software was running when I deleted the folder by mistake, so probably a new wallet.dat file was generated.

I am really stuck so any help would be appreciated

for recovery you need your old wallet.dat
Can you take a look at the file if I send you the recovered wallet.dat file? Thanks

Need urgent help please, I deleted the whole folder including wallet.dat

Although I immediately ran undelete software, Cosanta reports the recovered wallet.dat file is corrupted.

Any solution to recover the coins that I mined for so long and so hard?

My cosanta.net address is CVvbCDPzGUXAZKxDJSWgsHHw5zWaDWJzTz

If more information is needed from me, let me know please. Didn't have a lot of money there, just a few hundreds dollars, but I mined those for months and months so very frustrated..

Thanks

Is T-rex capable of sending a notification when hashing rate drops below a certain value?

Sometimes my miners stay down for hours and I do not know about it...

Hey guys,

Strange error on Nvidia 1060 6GB

 TREX: Can't find nonce with device [ID=0, GPU #0], GPU #0: not enough free memory to mine ethash at epoch 445

6 GB should be enough though. Also changing to lolminer or any other miner, or SimpleMining and so on, the card works fine.

Any ideas as to why Trex is the only one not working?

Just make sure the MM and OpenWRT are from the same release dates, they are matched pairs.
They are not all from the same release dates, there are some OpenWRT images that do not have a correspondent in the MM directory

Also, there is a folder called Nicehash in OpenWRT but no MM nicehash folder: https://download.canaan-creative.com/avalon841/openwrt/

For OpenWRT open GUI and go to System > Backup/flash firmware to start things.
So just copy the .img file to the original microsd disk?

1. Nicehash or any other mining rental service is a terrible idea to use. Sure they pay you but it is a fraction of what they earn from your gear. Join a PPS pool - you will earn more.
I am new to ASIC mining, so any help would be appreciated.
What pool would you recomend?
viaBTC takes a very large commission on withdrawals

Minerstats says Nicehash is one of the most profitable (sometimes the most profitable of all!)
https://minerstat.com/hardware/aisen-a1-24t

2. I assume you are talking about Nicehash's AB pool? It sux big time to the point of needing the special driver that Canaan made to run their miners there along with NH having a dedicated AB connection address. The Avalons all work fine on non-rental pools and all pools these days will run AB if the miner can do it - no special driver or connection required.
Yes, Nicehash's AB pool, when changing pool to stratum+tcp://sha256asicboost.eu.nicehash.com:3368, the miners just stop.

Strangely, I tried to mine on Nicehash pool using an Asien A1 miner, well, this one refused to start on Nicehash normal pool, but works just fine on Nicehash AsicBoost pool!

AB is *not* a new algorithm, it is a hardware-based way to generate additional work for the miner to process and requires the miner chips to support it. AFAIK the 841 only supports AB when in Performance mode.
Thanks a lot for the detailes answer.

How to switch them to Performance mode? They are now doing 13,5Gh on the original firmware

[Firmware version] => Avalon Firmware - 20180305

I was hoping that someone who already updated to Nicehas firmware would share the results.

I guess I will try for myself, and report back

I realize there might not be a lot of interest in this model anymore, but hey, it might help someone

Right now, on the original firmware, when using an AsicBoost pool, the miners behave very strange, and basically do not work. They keep on turning the fans down for a second and restarting (sorry, not sure if they are actually rebooting)

@minefarmbuy
Yup, that's the way I do it.
Is there a reason why? I am trying to understand how to update my 841

I see here https://download.canaan-creative.com/ there are 3 different types of firmware

- MM - how to update this?
- OpenWRT - this is just a matter of writing a new microSD card, right?
- PMU - what is this one? it is from 2020 so fairly recent

Please post back here I will effort to help out.
Hey Phil,

Do you still have the 841?

I bought 4 of them and trying to understand how to update.

This link has at least 3 different types of files:

- MM: I take it tis is the software inside the miner box itself? But how to update it?

- OpenWRT: I take it this is the microSD card inside the Pi? that is I guess easy to update, found some instructions here: https://www.cryptouniverse.at/avalonminer-821-841-861-setup-tutorial-troubleshooting-guide/

- PMU: no idea what this one is!

Thanks

I can't get this to work with SMOS mining ZEN, I tried multiple versions, settings etc

I am using nVidia cards

The string I am using is

miner.exe --algo 144_5 --pers auto --server zen.suprnova.cc --user user.workername --pass x --port 3618

However, I only get rejected shares, no matter what I try.

Anyone managed to get this working?
There is an outdated SMOS topic here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2505528.msg48019368#msg48019368

This is not working anymore.

I think now --algo and --pers are required: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4466962.0

Can you please update the tutorial?

you can go to your wallet choose the address that contains funds you want to prove they belong to you then sign a message from that address with its private key.
thanks, didn't know about this.
Could this be used with Jaxx and the like?
Didn't have time to look at the link yet.

you cannot find the total combined holdings of that user but you can see how much the sender had in that particular address(s) he used to send you funds
Thanks. Consider my specific case, though, the very reason of the transaction was to show/prove our balances

You think this would not work? Is there a better way to show to someone you really have the amount ot BTC you say you do in your wallet?

if your reading the raw tx details of th transaction..
output is to you, input is from them

another way is to put the txid into blockchain.info and you will see

1addresss  -> 1other address

the address on the left is the sender the one on the right is the receiver(you in this case).

you cannot find the total combined holdings of that user but you can see how much the sender had in that particular address(s) he used to send you funds
Thanks, I think I had a blackout moment, you are right, blockchain.com (not .info anymore) shows the address on the left

on 05/07/2018, 17:51:18 UTC
Someone sends you some BTC.

Can you find out the sender's address and the BTC balance?

I looked at the transaction ID and details but I cannot find the sender's address.

Is it possible to find this information? I know it is easy to see the balance of a certain BTC address but how to find that address?

I should probably mention that we actually did this transaction for this specific reason, to show each other our balance, but we do not know how to see the sender's address. Of course the person could just tell me the wallet address he sent it from but how to verify it is really that address?

Thanks
