DurinsMine looking for new miners.
Reduced pool fees 0.3%

Does your pool support mining with fixed difficulty?

The front-end of the mine77 pool is alive again (was stalled for 24 hours). Payouts have resumed as well. The pool itself was apparently running all the time, as previously suspected. Good thing is that hash power is now shared kind of 50/50 between mine77 and irdpool. I'd happily move some workers to the third pool (ird.uvac) as well once it allows fixed share diffculty setting. The other two pools have this feature, even though it is undocumented on their "getting started" pages.
Allow me to pick your brains a bit.
How exactly so you go about calculating the optimum fixed difficulty for your hash?
Thanks in advance.

If you are using Claymore, this is what you want to see.

https://i.imgur.com/VlAItl4.gif

You want that your worker submits shares every few seconds. This is only possible if the pool allocates you a proper share difficulty.

Many pools which use auto-diff do not. They give you some ridiculous diff of say 100k, which means your worker will often not find and submit a single share before the round is over, which means you get ZERO rewards for that round.

A worker consisting of a single CPU and a worker consisting of 6 GPUs obviously need highly different diffs. When a pools is using a constant diff on a certain port, that diff fits basically nobody. It will be too high for the single CPU worker and much too low for the multiple GPU rig. Which means the single CPU worker will just heat the room by not finding a single share before a round is over, while the multiple GPU worker will bombard the pool server with shares multiple times every second putting an unnecessary load on the server.

This is why pools are using auto-diff. They have different start diffs on certain ports but then each new round after you connect they adjust the diff. What many of them however don't do, is to adjust it properly. They just increase it until max diff is reached, rendering the connected workers very inefficient with much too high diff.

Therefore a pools needs the option that a user can set a diff of his choice which works best for his rigs. Simply to overcome the badly implemented auto-diff.

Let's assume your worker has a total hashrate of 1000H/s. Try to set a diff of 3000 and see how frequently shares are found and submitted (the green lines saying "share found, share accepted"). If it is every few seconds, that's fine. If it takes longer, set a lower diff. If it is too frequent, set a higher diff. Once you have figured it out, use that diff forever for that particular algo.

However for coins where the block time is much shorter, say 15s, you want to have shares found and submitted much more frequently than 2-3s. Otherwise you will miss out all short rounds.

About the above screenshot: Claymore shows those yellow status lines with the temperatures every 30s. As you can see the diff I have configured is such that shares are found every 2-3s. Works fine for me. If you use a too high diff (manually set too high or the pool setting it for you) you will also notice that the hashrate shown in the pool is much lower than your actual hashrate (no, this isn't because Claymore is mining covertly with your rigs and such nonsense!). That's because your worker will produce many stale shares when the round is already over and he is still chewing on the old outdated work, wasting electricity for nothing. Therefore the right diff setting is essential for efficient mining.

EDIT: Here is what you don't want to see:

Thanks a lot for taking the time to give such a complete and clear explanation.

Hello!

What is the safest and most effective way to go from AEON to USD deposited in my bank account?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

This isn't our website. It's another coin named iridium with no connection to us.
Our website is ird.cash

Need some help please!

Taking aeon-pool(dot)com as a pool example, how can I grab my dashboard information from the linux command line? I suppose it can be done through curl and the pool's API, I'd just appreciate it if someone provides an example.

Thanks in advnace.

I see that aeon-pool(dot)com has put a notice to encourage miners to mine on other pools in order to help decentralizing the network and prevent a pool from having more than 50% of the entire network's hash. That's a really nice move.  

One thing that discourage miners from moving to a different pool is the pending balance below the payment threshold (the so called 'dust'). Even 0.001 AEON will be worth something in the near future.  

So, I have a  suggestion to pool operators:

If a miner stops mining on your pool for, let's say, 24 or 48 hours then all the pending balance (no matter how small) should be paid to the miner.

Just my 2 satoshis

I agree that this is a problem, and I like your solution. The only consideration is that the solution should not cost the pool transaction fees. Provided the dust owed to the miner is more than the tx fee, should be good!

You're absolutely right!
But this begs the question: why exactly should a denomination unit be imposed when paying miners? I mean, why not pay everything owed to the miner up until the last decimal in the first place (leaving the miner with a pending balance of 'zero' after each payment)?

Hello,

I don't mind Dev to have mined few coins for working hard by giving time on creating this coin which every other person is questioning and on top of that mining as well.

To some people it would be difficult pill to swallow but 90% of the people don't bother to look at the premine and start mining.

If you look at sumokoin it was heavily mined and still people are mining and earning profit so people who say Dev is not good or did not do good or it's a scamcoin why bother saying just go mine other coin why waste your time complaining when other person is working hard to create this coin stable.

Couldn't agree more.

Update from mine77 pool: all of the back payments have been broadcast from blocks 8570 - 8726, and should appear in your pending balance or payment history on the mine77 site. A total of 14,102 IRD was sent for the mined blocks that were not correctly credited to miners. Thanks for your patience while I did the accounting!

Your effort is highly appreciated.

@mine77 operator

Blocks 8527 through 8589 (and counting) are all orphaned!
This doesn't look normal.

I see mine77 pool is mining blocks. Is everything back to normal again?

It would be nice if the dev makes an announcement to explain the situation.

I too am getting "Pool Connection Lost" errors on Mine77
ports 7777 and 7788

Which miner? I still get them if I use xmr-stak-amd (tried it on 4 different rigs and all available ports) but sgminer-gm-nh works fine on port 7777. Weird as I'd been using xmr-stak-amd for a couple of days with no problems until the pool daemon was restarted earlier today.

I am using stak's miner as well, the Nvidia version.
It was working perfectly before. My errors also began after the daemon's restart on the pool.

Not familiar with the Nvidia version, but I assume you have the same options. Try turning TLS off and using port 8888 or 7777.


I actually tried all available ports. Nothing is working. Stak's CPU miner is also giving me the same error. This is the first time I get this error and I don't know what could be the problem. I switched to mining AEON now and both miners (CPU and GPU) are working fine.

I've been having the exact same problem all day.
Also my wallet balance is all messed up.
I think the developers announced on the pool website that they are experiencing inconsistencies on the network.

@Romka_Kharkov

If you go to the 'pool blocks' section of you pool, you'll see that the maturity depth requirement is 20 blocks.
This means that 20 more blocks have to be mined in order for you to get your share of the block reward.
This might take some time.

 

Do not fool him, if a block is found, and if he is successfully sent shares, the proportional part he is assigned to is immediately visible.
His question gets an accurate and clear answer, do not pick up posts if you like ..

I honestly wasn't trying to fool anyone, I only wanted to help.

what exactly is wrong in my answer?
My understanding is that if the pool mines a block, the miner doesn't immediately get his share of the reward until the block is matured? am I wrong?

I will remove my answer if you think it is confusing.
