@Reedtrullz: We received two or three operation_header.log files - almost all with the same issue. Doesn't make too much sense for now - probably an exception that's not being caught. We're still working on it. Can you please take a look in your last operation.log file and tell me if it contains anything like "Application exception"?

@Old_School: Please try to disable CPU mining. Looks like on some rigs it can cause systems to freeze.

Already worked today on finding a fix for the ECO mode. No results for now, but we'll solve it!

@Old_School: The 2FA implementation has been delayed by a few days because of a Windows update: we had to make a lot of changes to BetterHash to make sure it continues to be 100% functional for users that updated their PCs.

@Zikkson: I didn't notice your ticket - or maybe you didn't mention we discussed on Bitcointalk. Can you help me with a ticket ID? Also - if you can take a look at the command line that NH uses I can compare it to BH and perhaps this is where the difference comes from.


Daniel

@Zikkson

I believe that only on some configurations NH can generate more revenue. What we will do in order to increase revenue is adding more mining algorithms and more coins. On some systems mining ETH can be more profitable, on other systems ZEC would be the best.

As for the hashrate that seems to drop it would help us to know what algorithm you used. In order not to expose your email here please open a ticket on send us a private message on our Facebook page mentioning this issue. The LCD shouldn't be related in any way to this issue - I would look for a network problem instead.


Daniel

@Bimmber - Thanks a lot. This is time consuming sometimes... However: the ideas, the bugs that were reported - were pure gold to us! We've been in software development for more than 10 years and I can say that the crypto community is something completely different: generally technical users that know how to explain bugs, users with good intentions... We also received critical messages but most of them were correct and helped us improve the service. After many years of software development I started to enjoy answering messages.

We worked a lot today on improving detection for AMD adapters on mixed rigs. The web development team worked on cleaning the code and tomorrow we'll all be working on 2FA. I hope we'll add it to a new online Settings tab by tomorrow evening.

@ericnovak

Thanks a lot for this feedback! I understand this is a valuable tool when you cannot access the rig. The online account does this job, but offers not estimate, just the current earnings and pending balance accumulated for all your miners.


Daniel

Hi,

We were working on the page, everything is back now.

Hello! We're back with a new release. Can you check Claymore once again? This is the download link:

Daniel

@solominer247: I got it, I wrote down your ideas and I'll discuss them with my coworkers.

@For_Canal_Coins: We are aware that sometimes the transaction could have gone through at a much lower sat/byte price. However, during our experiments we discovered that during high network activity times (while the Bitcoin network is congested) we might end up with transactions that never get through; they remain in an area where we cannot either increase the transaction fee to speed up processing or cancel them. Your idea of priority (low / high / medium) is somehting we can do. Added to the to-do list. P.S. The 500 sat/byte price was decided by asking the node for the price to get a 1-block confirmation. I checked last week's logs (during the congestion) and transactions with lower amounts and a 20% price decrease are still stuck as pending. :/

@Old_School: See above. We'll work on it!

@jrtaboraman: Depends on what mining algorithm you use. As we promised we'll add more coins, more algorithms, etc. As the process that consumes GPU power please take a look and give me a name. I'm sure it's somehting we can solve.


Kindest regards,

Daniel

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the positive review! We are overwhelmed by the good feedback that we received. It's clear that we need to get more people in order to get things done faster. To answer your questions:

1. We'll add more coins and we'll work on this as fast as we can. This will increase profits.

2. I didn't understand very well what you would like us to add to the GUI. If you would like to see the mined coin's name next to the miner selector on the Miners Setup window - this can be done quite easily. Or is it something else you wanted to ask for?

3. Well, for changing USD to other currency (buying crypto) - that's something we have to think about, it's a new request. What we are working on is allowing our users to withdraw from crypto to EUR and USD.


Daniel

Sorry to hear this! Please contact us through our support page https://www.betterhash.net/contact and send us the log files from the installation folder, along with the description of the issue. We will need operation.log and operation_benchmark.log.

We'll find the issue.

Thanks a lot for the nice review! During the next weeks we'll work on security and adding more coins. As for the web interface - what suggestions do you have?

We identified an issue related to Claymore and we're working on it. :/ It will take a few hours to solve it.

New release that will probably solve the Claymore issue:

https://www.betterhash.net/download/BetterHash_Setup.exe

We didn't focus too much on CPU mining because it's less profitable. We'll add this in a future release. The latest version automatically assigns the number of cores to use based on the Level 3 Cache size of the CPU.

We have big plans but the best part is that our users will decide. We'll publish a poll on our Facebook page next week.

You need to benchmark it. I am 95% sure it's supported. As for cooling, not something special, just make sure the cooler isn't stuck.

What do you mean by "automatic"? If you want to keep the same configuration after restarting, yes, it's possible. As for browsing the web while mining I believe it's ok. And the video adapter won't be harmed if cooling works ok.

It's quite simple. Please go to Settings / Miners then click on the blue button. You will be able to select which GPUs will be mining or not. This way you can watch a movie or play a game on one of the video adapters whole the others are mining.

Thanks a lot for giving BetterHash a chance! As I said before, we'll add more coins soon. Version 2.15 (released a few minutes ago!) solves several issues related to mixed NVIDIA / AMD rigs.

Soon. Now we need to focus on the last update and on correct benchmarking.
