Something is wrong with the pool.
It shows network hashrate as as 5.3 GH/s and pool hashrate as 8.6 GH/s.

Based on last 30 blocks found on network, pool found only ~65%.

Try adding more nodes from here: http://45.56.162.94:3001/network

The first 4 on the list in OP are mine and should always be connected.

That just means someone got the block before you, possibly due to having more connections. It happens to me all the time too.

Ok, I got a word that the community telegram was set up buy a group of scammers and that some of you lost coins trying to trade. This is so messed up and I'm really sad that someone would take advantage of miners at such an early stage. I take partial blame for trusting random people on this forum to run it. I did it in good faith hoping that this community grows organically. Apparently that is too much to ask for. I will return coins to you from my personal funds which I have mined. That is around 8000 coins I believe, which leaves me with 500 to keep. This really blows... I'm so angry. Please PM me here if you lost money and we will arrange a secure mechanism to get your coins back.

To get started mining Pyrite Download the wallet.
After the wallet is installed, open its main folder located on you computer .../AppData/Roming/Pyrite
You should see a file named pyrite.conf and if you don't, simply open a text editor, notepad.
Then paste and save this next section into that file.

rpcuser=yourwalletname
rpcpassword=walletpass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.103
rpcallowip=192.168.0.104
rpcallowip=192.168.0.105
rpcallowip=192.168.0.109
rpcport=6997
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1

After you have edited and re-saved this pyrite.conf file with a username and password you created, shut down and restart the wallet.

Now somewhere on your desktop create a folder and call it PyriteMiner.
Download this miner into that folder ...
https://mega.nz/#!7dNmkAIT!l6qrRCB4edD1yw5zzW0joeuppP398eNIm2kBPp9rQaw (https://mega.nz/#!7dNmkAIT!l6qrRCB4edD1yw5zzW0joeuppP398eNIm2kBPp9rQaw)

Now create another empty text file with notepad..
Copy/Paste these next two lines into that text file ...

ccminer-x64.exe -a sha256q -o http://127.0.0.1:6997 -u yourwalletname -p walletpass
pause

Now SaveAs that file into the miner folder you created called PyriteMiner.
When saving this file make sure to select all, and then name this file ...
MinePyriteSolo.bat
Also notice that the rpcport number is the same as what is in your config file. It should always match your wallet credentials when solo mining.
Lets check and make sure your credentials are correct. The -u and -p should also match match what you choose inside your pyrite.conf

With your wallet running, go ahead now and close the text files if you already have not.
Now simply double click MinePyriteSolo.bat and the miner will start and connect with your wallet. After about a minute it should start rolling and may look something like this ...

To pool mine you want to create another bat file. So go ahead and open notepad again. Paste these next two lines and save the file as PyritePoolMiner.bat
ccminer-x64.exe -a sha256q -o stratum+tcp://plant-pool.net:3033 -u ReplaceThisWithYourPyriteReceiveCoinAddress -p x
pause

The word pause will leave the command prompt window open so you can see your video card(s) at work for either the solo, or the pool mining you do.
Notice now that the port number for pool mining is now different from what you have in your config file. The pool will always tell you what port to connect to when your miner starts.
This is how your computer and the pool communicate. The pool will auto send coins to your wallet. You earn coins in a pool based on how many shares you submit against everyone elses shares they submit.. So in closing if you send say 100 shares and the pool total is 1000 shares, you will earn roughly 10% of the reward.

If you solo mine and find a blockl you keep 100% of the reward. Depending on your computer you might be able to mine solo and pool and the same time. just double click both and let both of them run. If you do this, keep in mind they are both sharing the GPU so your hash rate will be effected by 50% for each roughly. If you close one, just X the window and the other miner should recognize and your hash rate should adjust higher for the one miner running.

Your bat files have to be in the same folder as your miner exe file in order for the bat file to execute the miner and start mining !

As for the staking ... When you have coins in your wallet, you are now competing with everyone else who has coins in their wallets to earn stakes. The weight of your wallet compared to the weight of the people around the world is important. Look at it as a raffle. An example would be that everyone gets a ticket for each coin in their wallet and then one ticket gets pulled every time a transaction happens. You don't have to be solo mining or pool mining to receive POS rewards, all you have to do is have coins in your wallet and leave your wallet online.

I hope this helps any new person get started.

Happy Mining and Staking !

There is a lot on staking available online. The thing is, PoS blocks only happen when users send Pyrite and it's just fees, no additional reward. So what's recommended is using a low powered device if you want to keep the wallet open 24/7; like a raspberry pi or something. You should also use coin control to consolidate your wallet to increase weight. If you see a a "?" mark instead of confirmations, that means it's an orphan and someone else got the reward. I still encourage everyone to stake to secure the network. There will be a lot of PoS blocks once more pools pop up and more people start to use Pyrite in general.

http://45.56.162.94:3001/tx/9217d5ec99f8d47ca8ac4aa664e45e50fcd507c9b46094404f16fbb22b433521 took a while, but PoW diff went down, 2 blocks found. We're okay. I encourage you to join the mining pool.

On second thought... Since PoS still works, and coins can be transmitted, maybe the archaic difficulty adjustment is not a bug but a feature. Whoever the miner was, knowingly or not, has created a scenario where Pyrite is hard to obtain. One must use a lot of hash power to generate more Pyrite to keep the "production" running, or wait a long time for the difficulty to drop, "wasting" resources. Unexpected, but fits nicely with the name, doesn't it? A true free and competitive market. It sounds cheesy, but since the coin is experimental I think I'll keep it as such for now. Unless i am an idiot and the whole logic is flawed. 200GH/s is not large in the grand scheme of things. The problem was that difficulty went up x100 in a matter of a day.

Still wouldn't consider anything that has happened to be an attack. Most likely just early investors nicehashing legitimately.

However there is concern for attack after Caliber is listed on an exchange because would be 51% attackers could rent the power required. Will have to monitor the network hash.
One good option is to switch to a mining algorithm where there isn't enough hash to rent for 51%. However lots of coins are technically at risk right now by this method and don't have any issues.

The lower the nethash, the bigger the risk and lower the cost of attack.

I will dedicate some time to working on this. I'd rather have the piece of mind.

I was referring to the fact that the network was actually getting stuck - worst one was 2 hours without a block. There was a lot of hash at this time and the difficulty was still very low. The hash was spread between 2 pools and they were finding blocks faster than they could sync with eachother resulting in multipule alternate chains. Its took a while for the longest chain with the most work to win out. It was working as it was supposed to.

what is the minimum payout?

It didn't seem to be an attack. The chain split off into 5 alternate chains at some point because of the very rapid increase of hash on the network. Its really not that much out the ordinary. Also Caliber has no Masternodes...
