Bitcoin Forum

I want to ask in the Coinotron thread but can't... not enough posts. 

Anyway, any of you fellow newbs mining LTC in Coinotron pool?  Or any currency for that matter.  www.coinotron.com no worky.

Yep, not working for me either :(

Yeah, no LTC for me tonight/this morning.  Tried to switch back to BTC on slushs pool and I got connection problems there too.  It's hard to fall asleep knowing that my precious coins aren't being mined... :-\

Cheers guys, thought it might have just been me. 

We don't need the rest of the forum if we help each other :P

Might take this opportunity to do some fiddling :P

same issue here with coinotron--been down for at least 5 hours.

 Also does anyone know anything about why in coinotron the hash-rate showing varies so much?  I have 7970 cards which should have a 600-650 kh/s rate.  In coinotron the rate varies from 180 to 1020 kh/s--the running average seems to be only 575 kh/s.  Should I base my projections on what it shows in coinotron, or what what the rgminer says?  I know coinotron makes adjustments though for  work done I don't legitimately get credit for--so in that sense the rgminer stats would be off as well.  So if both methods of estimating are flawed--what is the best way to calculate the true coin producing hash-rate (to see if my cards are working up to specs, or whether or not I have issues such as scripts, cooling, over clocking, etc.)--I am running 6 rigs with 3 cards each--total of 18 cards.

Finally I am a newbie, and when I do a search for something in the forum, I am having trouble figuring out how to display posts by date--there must be something simple I am missing.

Cheers.

Coinotron's hashrate is an estimate based off of how many shares you submit (that estimate, while sometimes spot on, can be far off), you should rely on your miner client for an accurate hashrate.

It's brutal to wait for coinotron to get back online, especially since it's been down for 12 hours (since my last share was accepted)

Dunno if you saw this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=26727.msg2419692#msg2419692

Probably check back there for any updates.  Not much more info right now other than "Problems with Network".

Same here.

I don't think this is a DDOS or ?

Because it's way too long for a normal attack.

Stop spamming.

every pool has a different hashrate refresh rate. ive seen some 10 or 12 minutes and some at 25 minutes and then some who estimate it by shares completed. Just check on each of them to find their base rule. but the client is your best bet for accuracy.

Looks like Coinotron is back up!

Yes, coinotron.com is up again

Is it back down for everyone else too right now?  It worked a couple hours ago and now it's down again for 2 hours.  At work and no way to check if my miners are still hashing :(

BTW is anyone rode mining FTC right now with the high spike in profitability?  It's 236% more profitable than bitcoin right now!

coinotron seems to be down but if you hit refresh once it comes back.

something is up with litecoin mining and theres almost no information regarding it from those in charge of the site. I think I'm going to go back to bitcoin mining.

Not for me.  I get the "server took too long, maybe too busy" error in chrome when trying to access the site.

i havent been able to get it up all day either

site is up... i dont believe it is a ddos or anything like that. i think the host is having trouble after an upgrade to there routing systems

I am now used to coinotron being offline all the time

It was down for me yesterday too, but I got my payouts. So this is a normal thing for them to go down regularly? I suppose it's fine as long as shares are still able to be accepted and paid out.

watch your miners. 2 days ago mine were sending shares (LTC) but for 2 hours now rewards

is your miner reporting errors?

no errors. guiminer looks fine and sends shares but I did't get any rewards
