Title: A:0 R:5 Why are they getting rejected? (middlecoin)
Post by: antidote on January 05, 2014, 07:26:32 PM
Hi, I just started trying to mine last night.  Using two Butterfly Labs ASIC Miners. 

It says none of my shares are being accepted and when I look at my pool stats everything has been rejected as well..

A:0 R:5 HW:13

How do I fix this?  My pool is middlecoin. 

Every once in a while I get a message that says "ICA1: invalid nonce - HW error"

If anyone could help I would be very grateful.

Middlecoin is a scrypt coin thus BFL equipment won't work.

The confusion must come from that middlecoin.com pays in BTC while mining scrypt coins. There are currently no scrypt ASIC miners out yet. There are some in development and in pre order state such as the Alpha Technologies one from alpha-t.net. Still thinking myself they are a scam when looking at their company name changing four times last year and the name of the owner/director changing 3 times. Approach with caution!

Thanks a lot you both saved me a lot of time.  I just set these up last night and don't know much about mining yet.  Middlecoin seemed like it made the most sense but I guess I'll have to join bitcoin or altcoins pools for now.

Yep, correct you should go towards a bitcoin pool as your hardware will mine sha-256.
