Title: Slow miner status 'not connected' but is it actually still doing something? Post by: ShanghaiTimes on June 08, 2018, 02:35:28 PM I've looked at two pool stats for the same miner. One shows Disconnected, and the other, Slushpool, shows the red ! mark.
However, the miner is trundling along doing stuff, with the occasionally accepted element. So although it's showing disconnected on the Pool dashboard, it it in fact still doing a tiny bit?

Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on June 08, 2018, 02:46:16 PM You know, posting your query in the Official Slushpool thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.0) might be a good idea considering that is where all of its users hang out...

Good idea, but it's not only Slushpool showing the Not Connected status. So I thought I'd just go general. Title: Re: Slow miner status 'not connected' but is it actually still doing something? Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on June 08, 2018, 03:59:15 PM Then the question becomes, what kind of miner and what is it's supposed hash rate? Is it a s9/T9, Avalon, eBit, etc? If a miner has too low of a hash rate most pools will reject it.

Need a bit more info to help you. Title: Re: Slow miner status 'not connected' but is it actually still doing something? Post by: kano on June 09, 2018, 12:47:19 AM Sounds like it's CPU, GPU or tiny USB mining.
They rarely find even a single share so they tend to show up as doing nothing on any pool except when they find a share. Most pools are configured to find a share every few seconds on a standard miner, then scale that after you've actually got some shares. So if you're tiny then it will probably take a long time to do that and may never scale down enough. (Though most pools don't realise it, it's a risk to the pool to allow it to scale down that much) If that is the case (CPU, GPU, small USB) then Bitcoin mining is pointless - you need a recent ASIC miner e.g. from Canaan. |
