I agree with fonyo, you should go away. You are welcome to your opinions but you seem to be under the impression that if people don't agree with you there is something wrong with them.  The recaptcha has already fixed the problem with people trying to bruteforce my account so it did exactly what it needed to.  Your disdain for google is fine but we don't need to hear about it over and over and over again.  And fonyo is correct about your bitching about the website not cooperating with your computer when the rest of us have no issue.  It's your problem, not miningpoolhub's problem.  So just go mine somewhere else and spare us any more of your posts.
First, apologies to MPH, this is getting really off-topic now, but I'm a bit confused now. I specifically stated earlier that you should never think others share your beliefs on something so why would I believe there's something wrong with fonyo or anybody else? Another thing that intrigues me a bit is that according to you I think there's something wrong with people who don't agree with me, right? So now you are telling me that I'm wrong to talk about this and I should go away. I don't feel very welcome now Undecided

This is a technical problem, and you shouldn't try to make it otherwise. Two people out of all the MPH users still doesn't offer a very conclusive proof of anything. I've never doubted that it doesn't work for at least some people and that's why I asked if somebody else has the problem so we could maybe pinpoint it. There's million different combinations of browsers and addons. You shouldn't expect MPH to be able to test them all, it's really unfair to the devs. As far as the actual tech goes, much better way to secure a login function is to implement 2-factor. This makes it impossible to bruteforce instead of just slowing the perp down with captcha.

You don't have to be offensive to prove a point especially when people are trying to help. You can just go with one of your initial suggestions and use another pool and I just end the conversation here.
Actually, I wasn't offensive. I simply highlighted that if you don't give a shit about your privacy that doesn't mean you can expect everybody else feel the same. I have no idea why you would get offended by that but if that happened to hit home with you and you get offended by the fact that I don't follow your feelings about privacy, I really can't help you with that. This is why we don't have proper political discourse anymore.

Also, regarding help, disabling cookie managers or whitelisting MPH doesn't do much because as stated previously I have already tried the latter and surfing few days collecting a million cookies because one site keeps resetting its session doesn't sound a good deal to me. Also, this doesn't happen with any other sites, so I'm a bit skeptical that it's in my setup.

By the way, saying stuff like "nobody else has the problem" with a sample size of one doesn't make me very confident of the validity of the conclusion hence my skepticism.

I do agree that this discussion is pointless because neither of us can fix the real issue with the login security and pinpoint why this happens starts to look pita to find out.

I just pointed part of our mining infra at the pool because suprnova's "reliability" is a joke nowadays. Hopefully this one stays up Grin

Thanks for the compliment Smiley

My pools are monitored 24/7 by 4 different monitor services and I get instant-push-notifs on my mobile if there's a problem somewhere, so maybe the error/problem is on your side - the KMD pool https://kmd.suprnova.cc is runing since weeks without even a hiccup
You are welcome Smiley

I doubt it's on our side because we have rigs in multiple places and when they hit suprnova pools they tend to have a lot of problems getting work. In our system being up means getting work, not that there's stratum sending status for successful connection. The problem has never been the connection but that there's no work being sent. After 30 seconds of waiting for nothing our system says f*ck this and goes to another pool. However these 30 sec waits start to add up when you have a lot of rigs so I have had to disable suprnova pools. Other pools like komodopools have no problems sending work. Actually now that I think of it, I'm not sure if we have any suprnova pools enabled anymore due these problems.

No issues here. Try disabling your cookie manager extensions completely to see whether they are causing you the trouble at all. There might be something else doing this. You seem to be very privacy-minded; are you using VPN by any chance?
Naah, I'm not going to disable cookie manager/cleaners just because one site can't authenticate users properly - I'll simply just switch to another site/pool.

No VPN at the moment.

Well, don't blame the pool for what you are experiencing when no one else is having this issue. The problem relies in your machine clearly. What difference does it make adding an exception or turning the extension off completely when using MPH? Especially for testing...
As I said before, recaptcha is not the way to secure logins (which is why MPH introduced it) - solving it can be automated with few cents a piece so it's just selling an illusion to the users that things are secure. That is my critique. Having to log in once or twice a day is not an issue, being coerced to get tracked by and work for Google's benefit for good 15-30 seconds is. If this is ok with you, that's all cool, not giving a shit and being blind is what made Google so big but don't tell me that I should be ok with this.

Session timeout is 3 days (72 hours.)
Do you need longer?
3 days sounds pretty good but it has asked me to login multiple times a day. I have no idea why the cookie is being deleted. I've few extensions that delete cookies and even though I've whitelisted the domain with them, they might have something to do with this.

However I would prefer not to have recaptcha at all. If you want to protect your users you should be implementing two-factor authentication instead of subjecting them into Google's dragnet. I try to avoid Google's privacy rape as much as I can so it bothers me when I'm being blackmailed to help them just because I want to use a website that has got nothing to do with Google's services.
I'm logged out again. It's been around a day and I haven't even closed my browser.

Nobody else have this same problem? Huh

Can you please increase the session timeout or make it either on/off or time setting?

Being coerced into free slave labour to enhance Google's data empire every few hours when I want to check the stats is getting really very annoying.

Sad to say but suprnova pools have turned to shit lately. I've a lot of miners and it happens more often than not that when I switch coin half of the workers can't get work from the pool. I had to switch to another dgb pool because of this crap and now mona has the same problem. Thank god it's been mostly zcash lately.

I don't know what's going on with the pools, overloaded servers or what but not very excited to point my workers to suprnova pools anymore.

Is it too much to ask as miners? We just want to see 24h graphs in details like nanopool.
Why?

@ocminer, you never answered my question Wink

What's the difference between 6256 and 6257? I'm not using nicehash so now that nicehash port works better with connecting, can I use that or is there something I need to know about?

There's something off with this pool. When I point my miners to it, they can't get work and then they timeout. Other suprnova pools work without any problems.

@ocminer, can you please check if there's something going on because it's very annoying to see miners jumping around for 5 minutes because the pool doesn't either connect properly or give them work.

*edit* I just found out that by switching to "nicehash" port 6257 miners have no problem with connecting. What's the difference between 6256 and 6257?

I can see that ZEC/ZCL correctly transferred to exchange site and exchanged even today.

Can you tell me your id? I'll check.
My id is 63656. I happen to have Zclassics in the account and they are not being auto exchanges so hopefully you can find out the problem. I tried to submit auto-exchange settings again yesterday toggling zclassic on and off to see if that was the problem but didn't help.

Thanks for checking!

Auto exchange for Zcash and zclassic are not working?
I have confirmed balance in wallet but not being transferred to AE
I have this same issue. Manually transferring to auto exchange works but the full auto exchange chain is broken.

Does anybody know if @miningpoolhub has ever explained how exactly is the norm. profit calculated? The explanation when hovering over norm. profit text doesn't give any specifics.

I'm watching whattomine.com every once in a while and they seem to be giving slightly different coins for NVIDIA every time I compare their recommendations to MPH.

For example now WTM says Vertcoin (that MPH offers also) is more profitable than ETH but in MPH ETH has norm. profit of 2.4 and Vertcoin 1.5. That's a quite the difference.

Because 1060 and 1070, and probably some other Nvidia cards are actually better at mining ETH.
I'm actually running 1080 and I've updated WTM's settings from my own benchmarks with different algos so at least in theory I should get more accurate results?

$100 in ZCL sitting in "In Exchange" for a day. Unusable. Inaccessible. Can't do a thing with it. Mine...sell...mine more. Well, can't do that.
Ah, my logic went wrong when I assumed you were also using the auto-sell feature which I have no idea whether it works or not right now Wink

I'm actually also sitting on a bunch of ZCL.

A notification after the fact that you're screwed for a while is nice, but still sucks.
Why are you screwed? Mining is working correctly so why do you need the stats all the time?

Btw, not messing with you - this a honest question because I'm interested Cheesy

Guys, there's a notification bar at the top of the page that has said clearly for half a day that DB is being upgraded and reporting is either slow or not happening.

As a side-note, admin probably shouldn't use it to keep those "use multipool and you can use auto-switch" messages all the time because when it's the same information you start to ignore the whole element. At least separate important notifications with red color or something that they stick to the eye.
