Can someone with greater experience objectively explain what/why is currently happening with Litecoin. For hte past 1 hours I have been watching the charts for every minute candles. Patters are weird. USD price is dropping compared to this morning, LTC/BTC price is pumping. Are we just witnessing another pump and dump story on the back of good old litecoin or the network news form the morning are legit (even if so, charts show price decrease from 170+ to 150+ USD).

Yeah, but after the maintenance was over, all was the same, I noticed the drop in hash power and workers state today.
In anycase, as I was out of ideas, I logged into the miners again and on the configuration screen, I just re-entered slushpool stratum address >> save and apply and in 15 minutes the Slushpool dashboard showed workers as active.

Quite a weird case, I hope I didn't lose a couple of mining hours like that.

Guys, a little help will be appreciated. I have 2 S9's connected to Slush, so far they have been working with no issues. As of 2 hours ago, I got a notification of miners being offline from Slush pool dashboard. I went to check the machines physically, they are all green, they can be accessed via IP, also ping in their Network diagnostics works fine.

However Slush dashboard still shows them offline with has power of some ridiculous MH/s.

Anyone experienced something similar before?

Yeah, thanks! Works like a charm. Actually I am using your pool (along with Greentech), it has a perfect ping for my location.
Also I noted a higher yield of koto today (with the same hash power I have). Either the global pools hash power decreased or the better ping is contributing to mining more.

Any predictions for ETH bottom price? I've put stop losses orders at $700.

*PS. no offence to Korean (proven FUD) or Indian (news not yet officially confirmed) traders, but these are not the biggest markets and the current crash is a major one. So reason for the red candles should be sought somewhere else.

Can someone remind me what was the syntax in the miner start .bat file in order to give a name to different workers?

So is it something like:

./minerd -a yescrypt -o stratum+tcp://yourpool -u yourwallet -p yourpassword -n workername

Guys, number of active workers in my pool (will not mention name, but it is one of the most popular) is increasing every day for this week.
Only for yesterday it was nearly 7% increase in number. Very very interesting trend, like this difficulty will raise as hell. Now with Bitmain shipping T9 in 10 days and S9 in 2 months only, ASIC mining in short term will be a big challenge IMO.

For me too, whenever I try to access it, I get:

This page isn’t working
koto.poolof.work didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Are we witnessing today the long waited breakthrough of Ethereum/Bitcoin chart dependency? Or is this a temporary phenomenon. If I am reading the charts correct, today Bitcoin and its little Lite brother are big time falling down in sync, while Ethereum is in the green against btc, eur and usd.

You can either start directly the .jar file or create yourself a .bat file to start it (just google how to make java bat file).
But first and foremost, you need to install the wallet (click on the original file).

All of the above can happen only if you have Java installed on your PC.

No, this is only CPU mining coin. Worthless to use video cards.

Interesting predictions. Do you guys know that the bounty for the logo was 30 000 koto? How much is that into real money if one of the price predictions is true? Do the math yourselves

PS. My hash power is similar, yield is very small from it

Interesting, is anyone actually using T9s? They were not available for quite some time. Now shipping in 10 days? Can anyone decipher Bitmains strategy here? They release weaker miners like T9 and A3, shipping in 10 days, while the S9 are not available at all.

No problems. When you start Telegram, go to Contacts >> and then in the search field, just paste @BitmainNotifyBot
Then it will appear.

I am in Europe too.
Just add this to your Telegram contacts:
@BitmainNotifyBot

And be prepared to be buzzed everyday when they release the Litecoin miners and PSUs
But eventually they will release S9 too, just keep an eye on the bot.

Logo is strange for us Westeners and as one guy said - it has so much in it
But if you look it from Japanese culture perspective, it is actually all fine, contains all of the significant symbols.

Take a look at this help article:

Also if your machines show near the hardware specs hash power and there is no big fluctuation in it, I wouldn't play with the difficulty setting. Let us know.

Well, I don't think solo will be profitable at all. Better to join a pool depending on your location.

As a reference I can show you luck with a couple of kh/s: 4357001.392 Days. While the medium size pool total hash power of 2 mh/s has luck of 3572.831 Days and finds around 20 blocks per day. So do the math if you can find a block solo at all

Yes, there is a guide for koto, it is relatively simple that I created:

Good luck mining 1000 koto now, difficulty raised a lot; unless you have a monster CPU though
What other similar coins which can be mined with CPU did you find recently? Would you share?

Really? I follow Charlie Lee on twitter and recently he posted something that Litecoin and Monero are the two legit crypto currencies. I guess this turned out to be the rumour beginning. Are there any other posts?
