Bitcoin Gold has frozen @block 514279 for over 2 hours...

Block 514280 processed, took 2 hours and 17 minutes to progress and it was Mining Pool Hub that found the next block, amazing !!

Hi All,

Problem solved, i have found a pool and tested for 3 days that matches the Pool.Pro Calc calculator figures and that works perfect.
All these other pools must have some problem under the hood, or as others have said, something more sinister going on.

Thanks...

I have a theory just from experience, i might be wrong but here goes...

When i was mining at Pool.Guru i noticed that the round progress bar hit 100%, what i also noticed was that if someone disconnected from the pool their shares were removed from the round progress bar.
In other words if a miner had generated 25% of the work for that round and disconnected from the pool before the block was found the progress bar would show now 75%, more miners would leave and the
progress bar would drop further. I would assume that all these pools are pretty much the same under the hood.

It seems that what work has been done in the pool seems to disappear as miners come and go??...
Because everyone is chopping and changing pools and losing what work they have done this could be why we are getting nowhere. Perhaps picking a pool and sticking with it might be the answer?


Again just a theory but what do you think?

Thanks...






 

Hi, just thought i would throw this in here...

So there has been roughly 144 blocks today (time of post) available to be found. In roughly 24 hours the top 2 pools being Pool.pro has found ZERO and Pool.gold has found THREE...
That leaves 141 blocks found by various others, (probably solo farms?...)

Where the heck do you have to go to stand a chance of getting some blocks a day??

I hate to say it but i am beginning to think that home mining is already dead for BTG, but i thought that was the whole point of BTG?

Thanks...

Hi All,

I am going to provide a bit of data for a week and a bit (Sun today to next Sun) to try and see what is going on with rewards.
I know hashrate and difficulty/luck play a part and changes things but I am working rough so bear with me.

At the moment +/- throughout the week...

Pool.gold has around 23% of the hashrate (16 Msol/s / 68 Mol/s)
Pool.pro has around 9% of the hashrate (6 Msol/s / 68 Msol/s)

Pool.gold 23% of 144 blocks per day = should hit 33 blocks per day
Pool.pro 9% of 144 blocks per day = should hit 14 blocks per day

I am going to assume that on average...

Pool.gold hits 25 blocks per day
Pool.pro hits 10 blocks per day

Again roughly 25+10 takes me pretty close to what the BTGPool.pro calculator suggests, (earnings per day).

                   Pool.gold     Pool.pro
Sun Blocks        19               3

Mon Blocks        13              7

I am not going to carry on, it's quite clear to me that both these pools are just simply not hitting enough blocks to get anywhere near the earnings per day according to what the calculator says.
It's not just these two pools but the same story anywhere you mine BTG.

Thanks...

Hi @ForikGTI

Please could you tell me if you are an admin or related to the btgpool.pro pool? in any way?
If so all I want to know is why the btgpool.pro calculator is showing one figure and in reality I am mining 50% less as mentioned above your post.

You might be able to give me a plausible reason for this or explain something I did not consider.
Your input would really help me make a decision on what to do moving forward.

Thanks...

Hi, thanks for the reply.

So you are 35% down, I am at least 50% missing, anyone else want to chime in and tell us if you are experiencing the same thing?
At the time of writing .pro (5Msol/s) has not found a block in 13 hours and .gold (15Msol/s) has not found one in 9 hours and those two
pools currently have the most miners...

These 2 pools equate to 20Msol/s (network 95Msol/s), where the heck is the rest of the network hashrate coming from because the
remaining pools don't make up the difference at all...

Solo?

Cloud?

Thanks...

Hi,
So I have been mining elsewhere for around 36 hours with similar results, it is quite clear to me that this calculator http://calc.btgpool.pro/ is incorrect to the tune of at least 50%.
If you use the calculator take your daily $ value and cut it in half, that is what you will make per day mining Bitcoin Gold.

I am assuming that it's the calculator and not something else, these are just my findings. if anyone else can confirm or does not agree please let me know.

Thanks...

Hi, btgpool.pro
I have been mining with you for around 9 days, i have noticed that i am mining half of what the calculator shows, I have 2.4ksol/s hash rate, this is shown perfectly in the statistics of this pool.

The btgpool.pro calculater shows that i should be able to mine 0.04 +/- a day but regularly i am mining 0.02 and some days not even that, am i missing something?, is there anyone with a similar hashrate that can advise if this is right or not?.

Thanks...

@Gpool.Guru

Hi, I have tried contacting you via email, support@gpool.guru and Twitter via your Twitter link on your webpage, now I am trying here.
All I would like to know is does your BTG pool have a problem?, I personally have been mining for nearly 3 days and we have not found a block.

We have 3 times the amount of shares compared to the current difficulty, as of writing we have 10.9 million shares compared to a current difficulty of 2.96 million, the current round bar has been at 100% quite a few times then drops back and is currently sitting at 45%?. I have mined at Slush previously and was attracted here due to a similar layout.

Miners are leaving the pool slowly because we are not sure what is going on, please could you advise on what is happening?.

Thanks...
