ill have to see if my ledger can sign messages;  then it wont be such a pain...

im very upset.

I staked this account by signing using coinbase.

feature now unavailable =/

resurrecting.


Coinbase disabled the signing of messages using their service.


This really pooches some people.

Imagine staking your account, then not being able to recover or re-stake it because you can't sign a damned message.

The pool API does show profitability and prices.....


You do not understand how the pool code works then.  you can not do that.  you can only let stratum serve you work.   Stratum picks its own work, not the pool operator, not us.

Once the wallet comes back online;  all of the valid earnings that weren't on a bad chain will be re-credited to you AFAIK...

But;  these problems happen.... To everyone.  It has happened to me.  Zpool wasn't the only one mining on that chain either;  it can be a cluster or large group...


Look at it another way:

If you are mining to your own wallet, and it forks;  are you going to go screaming at yourself expecting funds to magically pay you because you didn't know it forked possibly for a day or two and earned a lot less than you thought in that time?

Minerx is right;  Imagine what it takes to keep hundreds of coin wallets online constantly.   No small chore.

what model of miner?

This makes a difference...




My first assumption is the driver most likely needs zadig'd.

guys, the wallet forked.  people can't be paid with funds that dont exist....


These things happen.  It really sucks when it does... but, its one of the risks of auto-switching miners.... getting stuck on a bad chain.


And it seems [partially] the result of other people's foul play....

So;  I have finally finished the second phase of hardware setup for using a cellular WWAN card in any windows 10 or Ubuntu/Debian machine.

My current endeavors have lead me to have a solution for configuring these two modems:

Gobi2000 (2G/3G/'4G')
Gobi5000 (Sierra EM7355 LTE)

It was quite a mess getting to the point of where they worked;  even as much as the sellers of the M.2 NGFF to USB adaptors telling me the 7355 isn't compatible.... yet it works now.  finally.

My whole thing was being able to have my cellular internet connection via USB.... not stuck to one particular machine like a laptop.  I have a Dell Precision R5500 that I would like to take over the job of being my local node.  I still use the lenovo for now;  but I have it's gobi2000 in a USB enclosure and remote up to where signal is better.... and im not quite done setting up that rack cabinet.  I still need to add filtered vents, a grommeted power cord port, extra power distribution, etc.

If there's an interest over the cellular on USB thing.... Ill write up a list of steps to get it all installed.  I myself was using a lenovo thinkpad as the test machine, and used the lenovo hardware ID for the EM7355 so I could just use the easy to get lenovo driver.  I am sure its as simple as figuring out which hardware ID's are for the generic sierra device so you can use the generic driver if you wish.

To sum up:
The Gobi2000 is pretty painless to get set up compared to the Gobi5000/EM7355.

For the Gobi2000 on linux;  you just need to install wine1.3 or greater, a networkmanager patch, and install the windows gobiinstaller.msi file using wine.  Patch over [and select] the modem firmware in the terminal, and you are done.  For windows 10;  you need the lenovo driver (if you have the lenovo device) and manually install in windows 7 before upgrading to 10.  This is necessary for enabling the radio on the device be default.

For linux with the EM7355, you need to install networkmanager 1.6 (or install Ubuntu 16.10, which I believe comes with networkmanager 1.6).  Networkmanager1.6 has the ability to send the "on" packet to the wireless radio.  You also have to assign the proper hardwareID for the device if you wish to use it in windows, by sending it AT commands... but to do that, you need to use a special utility to send it commands and enable the different system device ports/options such as the com port on it.

Mine was originally from an HP;  but it now has Lenovo hardwareID's.

Can't pay for shares when nothing has been earned yet....

This might be a pool issue.  I had this with skunk for the first few weeks.  Id check with crackfoo to see if its the same problem. (if zpool of course)

Post your machine stats, as well as miner version you are using for xevan in nemosminer's script.

I haven't browsed over his modified script in a while, but it may be as simple as doing a char search for stats, and removing it and the comma before it.  Im sure its appended to all password strings that the script assembles.

I believe you need to enable 3G decoding in the BIOS....  I have run into these issues myself.

You should power the molex on the board, and the risers if you have any.  Its good practice.   Do not daisy chain them, remember, you are pushing up to 75W per card through the PCIE connector.

Running the M.2 SSD may be an issue, depends on how many other options your board has and how many PCIE lanes are free.   I suggest disabling all unnecessary hardware, such as sound, extra lan, serial ports, extra USB ports, etc.  Just enable what you need for the mining necessary hardware only.

Went to do a test on Blake2S, and I am getting a million reported nonces by the software;  but only extremely rarely do I actually get a share response from the pool.... like 2 shares every ~3 min...... I dont remember it being like this for me before.
Stratum is setting initial diff to 16.

Test system:
1x 1070,  I3-7100/AsusZ270A, ccminer1.7.6 tpruvot

Any thoughts?

To quote the OP:
scrypt.mine.zpool.ca:3433/bitcoin wallet address/nothing -> for mine an algo and receive bitcoin?

scrypt.mine.zpool.ca:3433/bitcoinc wallet address/BCC -> for mine BitConnect and receive bitcoin?


No....  I owned 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP before the split, so I could accept payment in BCH or BTC:

scrypt.mine.zpool.ca:3433  User: 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP Pass: c=BTC,scrypt   To receive Bitcoin to the BTC address 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP.
scrypt.mine.zpool.ca:3433  User: 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP Pass: c=BCH,scrypt   To receive Bitcoin Cash to the BCH address 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP.

The reply above me was right on... but these are actual examples.

It is VERY HIGHLY recommended to get payout in BTC, because that's the currency alts are exchanged to and always has funds to pay miners.  If you pick another currency we mine instead;  then you will possibly have to wait for enough to be earned to pay you for your share;  because you must remember;  the other person's % share must be sold sometimes to pay them as well.... so you cant guarentee the pool will pull enough funds of that coin to pay you, AND the others requesting it.

1) yes.  
a) BTC is the coin everything gets exchanged to.  the pool does not autoexchange to any other coins.  
b) You do not pick what stratum has you mine.  Stratum picks, and you get your share reward of those workunits.  
c) The password flag is specifically for setting your payout wallet address type.  If you wanted payout in REP, you would first check to see if the pool mines enough of it to be a consistent enough to pay you (along with others' credits for it), second to set your mining username to a REP address, and third make your password contain c=REP somewhere.

2) this is only useful for estranged internet connectivity issues, or machines with exponential greater hashrate than the typical units of the past.   Typically I pick a diff close to what the pool picks;  but when observing if I see it not getting submitted shares regularly enough, I will bump the diff down to achieve my desired result.

BTC price fluctuation affects altcoin sales and buys greatly.   Early this year's profitability [in part] happened because the increase in BTC price was so rapid alts didn't catch up until much later.

1:  you mine an algo, not a coin.  you can be sent workunits for whatever coin stratum sends you.
2: c=BTC means you want your payout address/type to be BTC.  c=LTC would be Litecoin payout, etc.
3:  you do not choose what coins you mine.  you only receive workunits for that algo.  The coin selection is strictly for what you wish to be payed in;  which BTC is highly recommended.

i get by well with 64gb ssd's.  i dont run wallets on them.

still; you "consider" your opinion to be higher than any else.   No more to be said.  Look at the bigger picture;  not a facet.

Remember, your concept/perception of an uptime's scale is probably not the concept of a new member whom is asking these types of questions as he did.  

Crap;  you have to babysit some antminer S7's... which their system is based on what OS again?  

It comes down to fallibility in the person configuring it and the hardware being used.  Before or during use.
Most miners need maintenance;  inspections, etc.  How many GPU rigs and asics do you have on for an extended period of time over this "many month" figure you speak of?  Does it matter?  Nope.  Its just data.

...longest time without a power failure or rebooting myself is a tad over 6 months in the last years time.  I live in the cuts;  outages are somewhat regular depending on season.  My old 7 machine (before moving out to here) was online for over 2 years before I moved from there to where I am now.  Gamed on it every day.  It was my media center, security DVR and NAS as well.  It still is.  And, It got upgraded to 10 and remains the same as much as it can.

if you think XP is stable;  then, props to you I guess.... It was buggy as shit; right up to the end...  I likened it to being a more colorful version of WinME that was capable of staying operational for longer than a day or two at a time without crashes.  I still don't know how they were able to milk it for soooo long.

As far as the OS is concerned when speaking of Microsoft (root system operation and especially the HAL); hands down 10 is light years above XP.  The list goes on...... But I digress...

This topic isn't about how long my pc remains powered on and functioning properly... Nor is it a place to discuss the lack or presence of the future/current support's decision on your choice  for any said OS's. (hardware and software speaking)   You can discuss it on another thread.  We are here to share our findings with the OP to give some insight on what route to choose because he asked us whats more stable,  and a other few questions as well; that showed he did not understand the OS's role in mining among other things.

Let that last sentence sink in.

To help you specifically with your L3:

Lets say you want BTC as your payout.   Your config would be as follows:

Address: stratum+tcp://scrypt.mine.zpool.ca:3433
Username: 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP (or other payout address)
Password: c=BTC,scrypt


Shouldn't take much more than that.

zpool stratum switches your workunits between different coins at the same time that are on that algo...  so you will mine credits on a whole bunch of different coins, and they will all end up being converted to your requested payout.  As payouts are converted and credited;  when you reach the threshold of 0.015 (or 0.0015 on sunday) you get your payout of the "Balance" amount seen on the wallet page on the zpool site.

If you want paid in something like DASH or LTC;  just know payouts can be delayed because the pool relies on generating enough to give to you, and to sell to credit other miners as well.  if there isnt enough, your payout is on hold until the pool generates enough.  The pool will only exchange other coins for BTC;  not the other way around.
