Can someone explain the deal with "donation"? There is nothing about it in FAQ or anywhere on the site? What are we donating and to whom?
How does it affect the fee, if at all?

I added other algos to the sgminer.stub.conf and it kind of worked, but the problem is wherever the pool changes the algo/coin the miner restarts, and the GPU powertune level resets to 7. That made the cards overheat and throttle, and honestly I didn't see much gain in profitability, since it made the miner overheat, you also have a small 0.2% fee for exchange and ethash/ethereum is the most profitable anyway... So I just went back to mining only ETH and ocassionaly ETC.

Managing powertune levels and temps via miner is not recommended in ethos, it messes with their fan control etc.

Makes sense, also related to energy efficiency, I would probably ban huge pool mining and encourage solo mining for up to 8 gpus, to limit in some way processing power of each miner.

What you say makes sense of course in theory but in practice you have to consider this: most of the POS crypto assets are MLM shitcoins, and are conceived just to scam people out of their money. At least that's what I saw. I also think that decentralization is better achieved with POW, because everyone (relatively speaking) can join in, not just investors and gamblers.

I don't think it contributes much related to current earnings, but I like the part where it sends the other coin to exchange and buys your preferred coin, therefore it affects the price of your favorite coin (goes up).
In the long run, in theory at least, it should bring you better profit.

Use your username.workername at both places in that command, MPH doesn't accept ADDRESS as the login. That's why authorization fails. You set your wallet address when you log in, in your pool.

I see that just as an incentive to turn to renewable energy sources... wind, water, sun vs burning coal. If you want to be eco friendly, don't use crypto at all, because it all runs on computers.

There are two settings:

-allpools 1
-allcoins -1


Try and see how it goes.

  sorry, didn't read carefully... just tested the equihash address, and I'm getting ~50ms response time, but at 50% packet loss

I don't have any problems at this time:

My miners are working normally. If you are running windows, you may want to flush your dns cache

They better not play with their whatevertheycan

Hey, a question related to API key that we get on MPH: I want to try mobile app for monitoring, and it requires user ID and API key. Can you do anything nasty with userid and API key, without password?

Try us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com, it pings ~180ms  from where I'm at (East Europe)

Every pool has issues from time to time, you will not be happy with any pool's support from my experience. Nanopool had similar issues recently, where mining stopped for a whole day and you think they issued an explanation or an apology? Yeah right...

You also have to be realistic, and know that pools will have downtimes from time to time. After all, updates need to be applied and machines restarted.

The best thing to do is to be patient. Issues like these affect pool owner's profits as well, so it's in their interest to fix it.
I started with Ethermine then found that Nanopool is rewarding more and showing better profit in their calculator so I switched. After 4 months, I came across MPH and I like the idea of multi coin mining, and so far I'm happy. It's easy to switch pools if you are not happy.

These are IPS of the mining pool servers, check ping for each and choose one that works best for you

That being said, you should probably use fqdn as it will return the fastest server for your area, if I'm not mistaken.

In the Claymore config, you need to put "-allcoins -1" so that Claymore gets the ETH epoch right on the start (for devfee), then it can continue mining Pirl.

Who's panicking?

I joined recently and I find MPH amazing. Not sure what is this glitch everyone is on about, but I'm glad I missed it.

Wanted to check with admins if it's possible to add PIRL for mining. It's ethash coin and it's profitable to mine, perhaps to include it and mix it in with ETH/ETC/EXP

Hey,

I'm using sgminer-gm to mine ethash cryptos at MPH.

There is a pool that will switch coins based on profitability, but you can set which algorithm to use.

I set my miner to use ethash so the pool with switch between mining coins that use this algo.

Now, I did notice that the miner had some issues and reset power values and other stuff when the pool changed coin from ETH to ETC.

Do I need to create additional profile in the config file for sgminer-gm for ETC?

current profile is:

"profiles": [{
        "worksize": "256",
        "name": "eth",
        "algorithm": "ethash",
        "gpu-threads": "1",
        "xintensity": "1024"
    }]


Do I need to add additional profile like this:

"profiles": [{
        "worksize": "256",
        "name": "eth",
        "algorithm": "ethash",
        "gpu-threads": "1",
        "xintensity": "1024"
    },{
        "worksize": "256",
        "name": "etc",
        "algorithm": "ethash",
        "gpu-threads": "1",
        "xintensity": "1024"
    }]

Or the existing profile should work fine for both ETC and ETC? As far as I understand, the "name" field is just the name of the profile, it doesn't denote which coin to mine?

Looking forward to answers or educated guesses
