profitability is subject to interpretation, as well as many many factors.

if you go by fee alone, zpool is more profitable.

it all depends on mining luck.  might want to read up on it.

the unpaid balance? you mean what is not confirmed and sold on the exchange?  it will get added to your balance once its sold and you will be credited in the same timeframe as normal balance payments are.


you cant get paid in BTC for stuff that hasn't been sold for BTC yet.

Very upstanding right there =)


1: you will get paid your "balance".

2: no fees.

3: that doesn't look like a question.

yeah, trying a different miner version is always step one in trying to narrow it down...  they can have.... very... odd bugs

agreed.  stratum still works flawlessly when the rest of the site goes into hibernation to process all payments on schedule...   My internet issue could be separate, but it did like up eerily close to the issues being mentioned just now.

I think I saw a widespread dropout across multiple accounts....

Must have been something going on with the internet itself.  It wasn't just my miners;  but all of my internet connections did some strange things less than an hour ago.

Im not sure why yours is dropping out every day though... that's a strange one.

Does it always happen on the same algo?

what algo/port?  NIST5 connections fine here....

Happens a lot on these public forums... but alas, it is an excellent tool... Ive seen it a lot, but have yet to try it out for myself.... I always use the calc app since there's a hotkey built into my keyboard and I have hashrates for my cards listed as normalizations with my batch threads.


I need to test out these new miner versions.  Been kinda slacking but I have my reasons... also being that I am still using 1080's, 1070's and earlier, I have no personal physical access to the Ti's just yet....

Your high temps are probably lack of high CFM fans on the case.... Did you upgrade them from the OEM rosewell case fans?   The OEM fans are garbage.

With 130cfm+ fans, temps were kept in check...

This is as real as it gets right here.   You should reach out to a well-trusted legendary member that would be willing to test it out for the community.

the link provided above is interesting.  I assume nvidia would rather review a BIOS to be sure it won't screw its vendors before signing.... and this in itself is a stand-up method of approaching the problem at hand as to why they locked us out from changes from the get-go.

try a different version of ccminer manually... I bet its a version that has broken compile support for the groestl algo....   mining C11 with alexis78 is an example of such a thing happening.

I myself run them backwards as seen in the photos....   It's easier for cable/riser routing for the most part.   I can see how it would be annoying for normal data center mounting as airflow would be backwards and be an issue of sorts.

If you replace the two fans seen at the back of the case with higher flow ones;  you shouldn't have any issue with cooling the CPU;  but;  running them backwards as the photo shows;  keeps fresh air going over the CPU.

I wonder why your cpu overheats....  The cpu itself shouldn't be doing much hard work at all....   What processor/cpu cooler are you running?  [in the past] I've had home PC's that have an internal case temp of 80C, and the processors never really hit much over 90c.....

I find it EXTREMELY ironic that the _newest_ wallet says "unknown rules".

My only comment on that one....

that's very strange.   I have never had a card that doesn't recover from a driver crash.... not unless I was trying extreme over/underclocking....

Never used zotac, but as reported, Phil has seen good results.


He's also right about EVGA, I specifically only buy their cards now....

Quality product; over-engineered (not in a bad way in the slightest); and the warranty is second-to-none.       I highly recommend EVGA products.

....and here I am still mining with my GTX980 because I bought it with hard earned cash (before I began my mining ventures) just for playing video games....  That thing cost me over $650 originally.... which was a HUGE expense in my book then  Hard to let go of it... but it is still up for grabs if someone buys it XD

Such a low feeling (to me) selling it for even $250 now...  then again, its earned me quite a pretty penny in its time.  ROI'd several times over already.

And I bought my 1070 FTW DT ACX3 for gaming as well (and mining), and paid almost $600, right before its price dropped due to the Ti launch announcement months later...   I don't mind though =)  I think this one paid itself off during the rise to the peak of the recent bubble.  But I don't care about the ROI figure given its use.

ok good;  not more than 3 cards so that throws some possible scenarios out the window.

but for sure that ccminer error is from it not being able to connect to the pool for whatever reason....  so I am going to predict that if the miner doesn't work again when you get home, that a ping will fail.  a traceroute may be able to point you to what hop along the data path your connection isn't making it through, as it will ping every "hop" or node, between you and the place you are tracing.

FWIW on skien; up to 3Gh on one machine, the diff still hovered between .8 and 1.1....

keep an eye on your share % of an algo for ~10 min-2 hours...  average that percentage, then look at the pools total BTC earned for the last 24 hours... see how good of a theoretical cut you would get....

Take the low % ones, and just throw them out the window (disable in batch), leaving 4-5 algos and only the best earners... you will see more profitability.

Also consider my theory (that keeps proving in my life to be true) that when a hashrate on an algo grows past a certain amount;  profitability feels like the network total hash has increased.  Like skien;  when it was ~30Gh, and I was 1Gh;  I was making insane profits;  but as soon as another 70+Gh ended up there, the profitability flattened out until the hashrate dropped on the pool for a bit.

For nvidia rigs;  I choose skein, neoscrypt, C11, X17, and NIST5 currently.... as an example.  Might help you out.

Keeping the others in the batch allows you to gain the quickest benefit to ming a coin/algo that has suddenly surged in exchange pricing, so it's a double edged sword as to what you choose to do.

Every now and then, on some algos, I see reduced hashrate.  It is usually just a run of unlucky shares (no high results in your work units)....  and is sporadic when it happens.  sometimes just an hour or two, sometimes a day....

skein is notorious for having an odd share-to-hashrate calculation;  cause when you find a share @ lets say a diff of 30, often you will see an identical, or nearly identical sized share right after it....  happens a lot on skien.

I personally have always seen less profit on equihash, and haven't even bothered trying to mine it again since my last test several months ago.

Windows key+R
type "cmd" hit enter.  This is command prompt.

type: (without quotes)

"ping neoscrypt.mine.zpool.ca" get results.

modify address as per above, and repeat for other addresses.

for traceroute:

same cmd window; but instead:

"tracert mine.zpool.ca"  (just this one traceroute should be enough)



but first:  how many cards are in that rig?  What model(s)?

is that card upclocked, or downclocked?  Is it clocked the same as all other cards in the rig, or were they all clocked individually? What does its graph look like with no clock change?  

ASIC quality may be a possibility....   for the level of optimizations in the miner app that has trouble that is.....

when you get these errors, ping neoscrypt.mine.zpool.ca, mine.zpool.ca, and zpool.ca and post results for each.... that error is the miner unable to connect to the pool.

if possible, run a traceroute to it as well.  May help shed light.
