Title: Ethminer, how to be sure you are solo hashing properly ? Post by: Myffas on March 16, 2016, 12:40:41 AM Hi,
I am solo mining for a few days now without mining a block. I am most probably simply unlucky, but it made me wonder how could I check if I am hashing fine? Ethminer cmd window is displaying same text as you could find on google image. Hashing rate is what I expect from my GPUs. Geth is in sync with current block (www.etherchain.org) Everything seems normal. Now, what if something is wrong with my DAG file or anything else is wrong, how could I know? You guys found a way to check all this? Thanks Title: Re: Ethminer, how to be sure you are solo hashing properly ? Post by: bathrobehero on March 16, 2016, 12:47:12 AM I was also very unlucky with solomining (found 4 instead of 8 blocks) and Geth randomly stopped syncing twice without any errors or even disconnecting the miners and once it stopped with an error.
All that with plenty of nodes and stable internet so I gave up solomining. Title: Re: Ethminer, how to be sure you are solo hashing properly ? Post by: Myffas on March 17, 2016, 05:11:15 AM Other opinions ?

Now I'm hashing at 108 MH and I’m expecting a block on about every 2 days (at current difficulty). Title: Re: Ethminer, how to be sure you are solo hashing properly ?

All that with plenty of nodes and stable internet so I gave up solomining. I have to restart my geth every few hours. I don't like the idea of having to restart geth. And the possibility of not knowing something is wrong will probably make me also turn back to pool mining. Title: Re: Ethminer, how to be sure you are solo hashing properly ?

The Geth.exe has been out for more than 9 months, but the developer has not solved the problem. |
