Title: pool stopped recognizing my worker? (noob questions inside probably) Post by: Poldi-1 on August 02, 2017, 09:07:24 PM Hello
I got hands on a bunch of Antminer U1 and started playing around with them. After getting the right drivers I started mining to give-me-coins.com and all worked fine for 2-3 days (I could see my hashrate and earnings on the pools website) Now I checked and the pools website doesn't show any connected worker, where bfgminer is still working fine and reporting accepted shares screenshot (https://i.imgur.com/VqyAf44.jpg). I didn't change anything, neither on the pools website nor in the batch file I start bfgminer with. What to do? Where to start with troubleshooting? Thanks in advance Title: Re: pool stopped recognizing my worker?

This crappy give-me-coins pool simply many times at random and for random periods of time stops accepting shares on their ltc.give-me-coins:3333 or 3334 or 80 server , so when you leave your mining equipment unnatended for example the whole night, you discover in the morning that you wasted lots of time and electricity. When this happens, you have to change your config to gridseed.give-me-coins.com:4256 , or the other servers that start with"asic" or "titan". BUT if your mining equipment is very small like mine, you need those servers that have a dynamic diff of 16-4096, the static ones are not a good choice at all. One last remark, and itīs the most important. Donīt use this pool at all because they steal shares from you, they are scammers. I catched them twice stealing shares from me, and now they simply donīt answer anything to me on their support mail, and that is the best proof that they are doing it. A mining pool is not a charity organization, has expenses on servers, internet, programming work..... so a 0% fee pool is giving away free money to people, like a free plane ticket. It is better to use a pool where you know that you are charged 1% or 2% or whatever of your work, but that is dependable, has support and works as intended. Dont use this pool, you are giving away money to scammers. |
