Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
I'd be very surprised if everyone hasn't already moved on. Think PW has pretty much lost his business at this point. I'll continue to monitor this thread though and if he comes back on I might switch back.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
Scrypt-N hashrate has pretty much disappeared as well. Honestly it'll probably not be worth the trouble to run the pool anymore when there will be no one mining on it and the profitability will be likely less than Scrypt. Alt-coins in general are starting to completely fall off the map IMO.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
FYI... the X11 USWEST server has been giving me a 20-40% reject rate over the past few days. I've switched all my rigs over to USEAST and getting 2% reject rate. Might want to check if anything is going on there poolwaffle.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
Yay! Problem solved! I'm mining at a different site now. Thanks!
Bye bye.
Re: Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
wafflepool got very unstable for me , lots of rejections and HW errors. They changed something?

Wow! I used to love wafflepool. I have several devices pointed at useast and uswest and the are all showing "dead". WTF?
Sounds like you have some problems with your hardware then. I've been mining Wafflepool x11 uswest non stop since it began and don't ever have any problems.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
Hello everyone!
I have set up the x-11 mining with Wafflepool. Things are running on the miner but it is not accepting shares. Below are the configs. Wondering if anyone (with more knowledge than me) could have a quick look and see what I'm missing!
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer -o stratum+tcp://useast.wafflepool.com:3331 -u 1HEjkCzdUA723UbmUMaSVHqUmaWegPgo5g -p d=0.16 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --shaders 2048 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 30-75,30-75 --temp-cutoff 90,90 --temp-overheat 85.85 --temp-target 72,72 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1000,1050,1050,1080,1100 --gpu-powertune 0,0 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 --no-submit-stale --kernel=x11mod
I have 5 GPUs: R9 280x
Running Windows 7
I was running a scrypt system with clever mining. I have since moved and it blows the breaker. Figured x11 would draw less power!
Any and all help is very much appreciated!

Have you tried mining the pool with a bare bones config? You have a lot of extra stuff in that config that is not really needed. Try pointing to another stratum server also. That frequently helps as sometimes one of the servers has a hiccup and won't work properly. Point to west for a bit and see if it accepts shares. Also post your errors so it's easier for us to try and figure out what is happening.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
Not sure if anyone cares, but Feathercoin hard forked and uses Neoscrypt now. Figured I'd mention it here just in case it's still mined by this pool once in a while.

Re: GAW OneMiner ZenCloud Hashlet - does it really exist? ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :-)
I would agree it's possible but unfortunately we also had this contradiction:

"One of the three AC units it take to cool one our data centers"
https://hashtalk.org/t/data-center-pictures/6448
"One of the three AC units it take to cool one our data centers"
Yeah that's one of their other data centers. Looks like a different building...check the ceiling clearance.
Re: GAW OneMiner ZenCloud Hashlet - does it really exist? ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :-)
I'm not an HVAC engineer but Bitfury's layout with separated hot/cold aisles looks very different from GAW's. I find it hard to believe they would be able to vent half a megawatt from that aisle they were standing in.
Edit: I was referring to this picture: http://i.snag.gy/WE5Kk.jpg
Yes, it's not exactly the same, but the concept is pretty much the same. Use a large open warehouse and rather than using chillers to cool everything, you just displace the hot air from the racks and vent it like in that picture of the Bitfury data center. They have large fans at the top of their warehouse to vent the hot air out of rather than using chillers.
Certainly not saying that it's legit, just plausible that what they are showing is actually their data center for their miners.
Re: GAW OneMiner ZenCloud Hashlet - does it really exist? ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :-)
GAW CEO Josh has claimed that the photos they released of their warehouse is actually one of their functioning data centers.
Here is the link on hashtalk.org:
https://hashtalk.org/t/vaultbeakers-come-early/7605/155
Honestly this is very plausible. I've read numerous articles that discuss bitcoin mining in data centers and how they are designed using air displacement as opposed to traditional cooling. Here is an example of this:

Re: GAW OneMiner ZenCloud Hashlet - does it really exist? ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :-)
why the heck would they make it more expensive when everybody is lowering prices ?
They have stated that they want sales to slow down because they are running out of hashrate to sell. So instead of stopping sales, they are increasing the cost. This works in two ways for them... it should slow sales (I sure as hell won't buy at that price) and it increases their profit if people do keep buying.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11][X13] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
Now THAT sounds like a ponzi scheme..
I don't think that it's a ponzi scheme. I believe they have the actual hardware and are actually mining coins. A ponzi scheme would suggest that they are simply taking new investment money and paying old customers with it. I'm almost positive that is not true based on what I've been reading, and in actual dealings with them. I think they are just literally running a large virtual operation where they don't attach specific hardware to specific people. I think they have a large pool of hashrate and are paying people based on hashrates paid for, not physical hardware that people own. It doesn't seem like a bad idea really, but we'll see. I've been drilling their forums with questions, trying to figure out more information. I do trust their company and have received products from them in the past and have had no issues with them at all. I don't really trust their prices or their ability to generate profit for customers which is why I keep asking and asking.
If they are mining there should be some evidence of the 200 GH/s Scrypt hashrate. Everything else can perhaps be attributed to "creative marketing" - depending on your threshold between "creative" and "misleading" - but the actual network activity has to exist somewhere.
Anyway, sorry for derailing the thread, I hope to see you guys in one of the hashlet threads as we need more proper discussion like above and less name calling out there
I think the hashrate is pretty easily explainable but yeah we shouldn't be hijacking this thread. I'll engage on your GAW conspiracy theory thread.
As far as Wafflepool goes, I think their hashrate is always pointed here so you won't catch evidence of anything going drastically up or down on here. It'll probably be hard to track unless every single person on zenpool switches to Wafflepool at once. That might catch them off guard and they won't have the existing hashrate to cover it. Then they'll probably have to switch a lot more hardware to point at this pool. I bet they monitor what users are doing and keep enough hashrate plus a buffer pointed at all pools to cover people changing around.

Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11][X13] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
You are not alone. At least three other pool owners have noted that there is no evidence of Zen mining on their pools. We have a whole thread going on about that cloudy business (NSFGF - not safe for GAW fans): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=720844.0
GAW/Zen official version as to why you don't see a change is hashrate is that they have a certain amount of hash ALWAYS pointed at all pools and when you switch your 1 MH/s or even 100 MH/s nothing is actually changing except some accounting in the backend.

I believe this is correct. I've read on their forums that they have a certain amount of hashrate pointed everywhere and that it's simply an accounting method that tracks your personal hashrate at Zen. This also explains why your hashrate with them doesn't bounce when you switch pools. It stays exactly at what hashrate you have where normally if you switched pools you would see a drop to zero and a regain over a few seconds/minutes while the script spins up and connects to the new pool and shares start getting accepted.
They have a very interesting system going on right now and they are keeping it quite a secret, but it pays, and it pays well.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11][X13] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
Thanks for trying to rationalize your way through it instead of immediately jumping to "this guy who has been extremely forthcoming so far, is most likely stealing from everyone", and then putting it in caps, and then in colored bold fonts for everyone to see. I appreciate it, and I'm glad you're happy with the service here.
only thing he's missing is a few Geocities style animated gifs
LOL yeah and he should post it on his myspace page also
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11][X13] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
WP, can you please add nicehash as a multipool, so if the profitability for mining in nicehash is higher then you automatically choose that to mine?
This actually makes no sense whatsoever.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11][X13] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
So what you are saying is you relied on a third party wallet and now that the third party changed their addresses your users are fucked? Seriously? That's the level of professionalism you base your service on?
Much wow, such fail.
Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N][X11][X13] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com
I honestly don't think poolwaffle should be asked to show everything behind the scenes to miners. There is zero reason for him to publish what he does to everyone. In fact you could consider his profitability code to be proprietary and no company is going to release proprietary data for free. He provides a service that he is paid for and we are not paying him for his source code, simply his ability to generate profit for our equipment. It's very unreasonable to expect someone to go and spend a lot of time creating something and then give it away for nothing. When you purchase commercial off the shelf software, you are purchasing a license for use, not a license for the release of the source code. I feel that this is a similar situation.
