That's because virtually all altcoins were always a dead end. Any altcoin developed during the mass monetising period where everyone was trying to make a quick buck based on pump and dump or scam was doomed from inception. They only ever had next to zero value, and now that the value of bitcoin has dropped, all the altcoins have proportionately dropped meaning they have zero value. The only time altcoins ever have a chance of being meaningful and helpful technology is when there is no money to be made from them and they're developed purely for experimental technology reasons. If you're there looking for the next wave of money to be made, you're in the wrong place and perhaps it only now has a chance at providing meaningful discussion. The reality is that very few people are capable of discussing at the technical level required to be meaningful purely for technology.

When i mine with slush's pool it always says my best share is zero is their anyway to correct this? I have an antminer s5
Do you have your "diff" on Slush's website set to something manually? Or do you have it where Slush will set it automatically? I have it set to manual of 1024 Antminer's cgminer fork breaks best share reporting when diff is a power of 2. Try diff 1000.

Sounds good. I sent a small donation for the help and support.
Much appreciated, thanks ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Development has certainly been quiet of late, more representative of the mining landscape than anything else.

Congratulations to 15X8ziBTCLEQCU2eUwWoQCYqJV7CoJSFoC with the 33rd block solved! I'm pretty sure he's the smallest miner to date to find a block on solo.ckpool.

I already performed those steps. Still the same thing.
Why are you not listening to the person who wrote the software you're using? There's nothing wrong here. You are mixing up discarded WORK with accepted and rejected SHARES. Disregard the discarded value.

my miner keeps disconnecting from this pool..
looking at the stats it seems 100T or so just dropped out.
Problem is between your miners and the pool, and usually it's a routing/network issue. There is nothing wrong at the pool end. If you have linux I suggest you try using mtr to diagnose where you may be losing packets. 10% loss at the last step is normal. mtr --report -w solo.ckpool.org the hash is back and my miner reconnected, it must have been comcast then.. it was down for about 5 minutes. I lost connection too. The miner connecting is not on Comcast. The same advice applies. There appears to be nothing unusual at the pool end. Try also: http://www.internetweathermap.com/and a few other services. The pool is fine.

There is no fix, this is how the U3 operates. Plug and re-plug daily. Use a high quality USB cable.
What's the problem? Hardware implementation or problem ZADIG? Possible to fix it? External USB-hub correct position, if he temporarily turn off the power? Read this whole thread and you'll find pages of people complaining about these units going zombie. They need to be restarted almost every day, it's just how they are. Maybe Bitmain could tell us, but since they haven't by now I don't think they know either. Any suggestion on a substitution for plugging and replugging when controlling them remotely? Rebooting my pi remotely doesn't seem to do the trick. The communication chip needs to be power cycled because it stops responding. Even power cycling the device doesn't work because the comms chip draws power from the usb coming from your pc while the device is off. You'd have to power cycle everything and the only way to do this would be by putting everything on a power distribution unit and having it power down for 1 minute or so before it powers back up. I guess you could automate this to do it once per day or something but you'd be much better off just using the U3s as paperweights or doorstops, as a harsh reminder of what a dud purchase they were.

This thread is so far off track...SPTech please come save us with some new hardware info! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) sp-tech were the ones who posted the bitcoinfoundation link so it's their right to pursue whatever direction they want their own thread to take.

cgminer needs a bitcoin address to mine to to be able to mine solo the way you are asking, and the antminer interface has nowhere to put that. If the particular antminer you have allows you to add arbitrary commands, you can add a --btc-address command with the address to mine to. Alternatively you can just point it at my solo pool solo.ckpool.org

Hello,
I have couple of Antminer s3+ machines and I noticed that they are all recording huge amounts of rejects and discards when mining bitcoins. The reject on this one Is low, but on others very high. What is it that I am doing wrong?
GH/S 430.55 ACCEPTED - 1,535 DISCARDED - 42,455 REJECTED - 13
Also, any good pools out there to mine?
Thanks.

Edit: So do think this is a fix or a preliminary test? Also what is the driver instance name for the --usb options? Thanks a bunch, again.
This code should just become part of the next release. It's still all under the same device name for all bflsc driver devices so BAS. The code was never rewritten to account for variants detected after the fact and black/whitelist them (it would be a massive rewrite and manufacturers have all but made this venture worthless). -ck, Did this fix for the Monarch's make into the git tree yet? Thanks, Sam Yes it did, shortly after I put up the binary for you.

Sorry to interrupt, I probably should have posted in this thread. Can anyone help answer the cgminer messages I was curious about that I originally posted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1016272 please read down thru my reply post to Hugs, Thank you! Cgminer doesn't officially support mining altcoins or multiple coins concurrently. Seek help from altcoin forums please.

Best Share 174257248410 not too shabby
Very nice share! .. well done! .. my best share at the moment is 125760390 ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) .. how long did u have it running for if you dont mind me asking? I don't know exactly how long due to my life being turned upside down this year, but roughly 2mo maybe Great stuff, maybe the btc bonus will help whatever your life volatility was. Enjoy!

I'm using an m6 board by 100TH mine. Its connected to a raspberry pi running minepeon. When I run CGminer this happens:
Never heard of such a device, but you're also using an absolutely ancient version of cgminer so if it there is driver code in there (and it appears it may be related to the blackarrow devices) then there may be billions of changes to the code between that old version and the current one.
