Site works quite well and much faster!!! At last some improvement from Kraken, let's hope they find their way back up.
Understandable withdrawal is disabled. The new engine has the highest risk of hacks and bugs the first days, and when money/coins are gone, they are gone and cannot be returned.

It would be a smart move to limit withdrawals to a fixed amount per day to start with Kraken???
We all need to move around some fiat and coins, so you cannot postpone forever.  When it is enabled again people will also start depositing more.

Kraken has always payed me my Euro's extremely quick (within 1 day), so I am confident the money is safe.

Good luck to the Kraken IT team! Bugs like these bugs can be a complete nightmare, anyone involved in both Infra and Development knows this. All the pressure of solving performance issues quickly probably caused this.

At least they are updating us and we can subscribe to email and sms updates also.

My only question is why they do not roleback to the working state and solve the problem the coming weeks??

How to set static difficulty on the offical pools?  By default stratum makes the difficulty to high ruining my accepted shares.

something is definitely happening. All the major pools today are hit by large influx of hash for 30 minutes which then disappears.
The difficulty rises during the 30 minutes, but when the hash disappears difficulty does not go down fast enough.

So smaller miners who stay on the pools are hurt bad, my mining return is very bad today.
Difficulty going up and down from 32000 to 42000 to 31000 within 30 minutes is not normal

If this continues BWK is no longer viable to mine. The algo seems not to adjust to hashrate peaks well.

Just look bsod.pw, umine.org and unimining.net. They cover around 80% of total hashrate but all 3 no blocks found last 20 minutes, just after a big hashrate peak.
Difficulty is now down from 42000 to 27000, soon we see the hashrate spike again. (nethash down from 1.8 Th/s to 970 Gh/s)




That's just how difficulty retargeting works. Short of being able to adjust difficulty mid-block, massive hash spikes are going to slow things down briefly considering a significantly lower amount of hash is attempting to solve for a block with a significantly higher difficulty. Once that block is hit, difficulty retargets to normalize block times until the next massive hash spike comes in and drives difficulty up again.

Another way to help this would be to spread the hash rates around more evenly so they're not localized in one or two pools. This, unfortunately, is something entirely beyond our control. People are going to go flock to the pools with the highest hash rates no matter what evidence you give them that it's healthier for mining as a whole either way.

Well profit switching pools like Nicehash and Zpool (and large private mining farms) exploit this mechanism. They wait until difficulty is down, redirect there massive hashpower to the coin and quickly mine a few. Then when difficulty rises they move over to a different coin. Other normal 1:1 pools are hurt by this because their mining result changes up and down since they ride out the high difficulty phase of the same coins (the auto switching miners are long gone by then).

I tested both on bsod.pw and zpool mining the same neoscrypt coin. The amount I make a day on Zpool is much larger. All profit calculators are wrong because difficulty changes up and down by more then 50%.

huge difficulty and nethash increase. Indeed probably nicehash, hope they get hacked again.

Coismarket now states: Deposit disabled until we get fixed wallet from DEV

Stop mining you can't do nothing with this coin at this time. As soon as it's possible to trade again value will collapse since miners will offload.

is the blockchain broken , why coinsmarkets.com  not confirm.

I hope the wallet of Coinsmarket is just stuck. Made a support ticket.
In my experience the wallet software is not fully stable and sometimes needs rescans.......it just freezes and not registers new blocks.

Coins on coinsmarkets.com are not confirmed, or do not come at all. Is the problem solved?

Still not working or delivered. CRC seems frozen at coinsmarkets.com nothing going in or out.
Nice, already fallen 10%.

Some definitely wrong with this coin. Explorer doesn't work properly. Wallet stops updating and not recovers until full rescan, also wallet automatically blocks peers for some reason disconnecting you from network.

Add the slooooooooooow transfer speed, and variable block time. This coin will crash and burn soon.

Only thing keeping it up is the very aggressive bounty program to hide it's one of many copy-paste masternode coins of recent.

Hey SP.

Why don't you make all your miners 1-2% devfee and open to us all?? You could make much more that way. Lot's of smalltime miners cant pay your one time purchase fee since they never make it back. For big timers you could offer an unlock key to get rid of the devfee. (not very hard to check for abuse)

Until now you create a fast miner, then it either gets stolen and distributed or someone releases a faster public version and you scrap it.
A continuous actively developed fast version would just keep being used.

Look how much EWBF made on ZEC, still used up to today even while its not the fastest anymore or is developed and improved for at least a year.

Re: hsrminer - Nvidia mining software for various algos by palgin&alexkap

Did some more testing with different intensity settings. My previous test was wrong for ccminer.

MSI 1070 ARMOR OC - driver 388.71
Overlock settings: 75% TDP, +180 Core clock (around 1800 Mhz), +250 memory clock (4250Mhz)

ccminer KlausT 8.17 cuda 9.1:   1210 kH/s
Palgin Neoscrypt:                      1240 kH/s

So it seems ~2% difference. Is this right for the 1070 or is there more room somewhere?
Software is still very stable and running well on default intensity settings.

Well done Palgin!!

Your Neoscrypt software has been running very stable on 3x 1070 8GB the last 24 hours.

Overall speed seems to be the fastest neoscrypt miner out there:
Palgin: 1220 kH/s per card at 135W
CCMiner: 1110 per card at 135W

The pool (altminer) reports less on average. (1160 kH/s per card). I know hash is lost by missing shares when blocks are found and new jobs are send out through stratum, your software is not to blame for that. Altminer is better then Zpool for smaller setups since it lets you use a lower Neoscrypt difficulty!

Could you make the API response like ccminer? We then can use the Awesomeminer ccminer profile which would help lots of people in using your miner.

Anyway well done, I gladly pay the 1% devfee. However can you explain the mechanism? (Every X share if for you, or every X minutes it mines for you)

According to bitcoin price analyses, there is a support at $10.000 and I feel like it will decrease to $10.000 probably see @9999 as well

The support is not real. Its huge orders of whales and market makers. When the price goes down to 10K they will cancel their buy order and put them in at 6K etc....

Guys, this is the long awaited crash. Most coins grew 10x this year based on only hype!! Millions of people buying small amounts resulted in a gigantic upward trend with values based on only air. Now the downward trend started, lots of people will realise they wont get rich anytime soon and in fact lost money. Buying extra is only a way to spread the loss over more holdings.

So expect values to dwindle down to May, June 2017 prices which where much more realistic, so don't put your live saving in alt coins. Remember the DOT.COM bubble burst and then grew until it became as big as it is today.
Also currently most governments are preparing laws to tax BTC holdings and restrict ICO, on top of that the Bitcoin netwerk is not performing anymore and using to much energy to be future proof.
 
If you wanna play, do daytrading. Find a nice trend, ride it a few percent and sell.
