I've been trying to mine Electroneum on MiningPoolHub (europe.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20596) using HiveOS with either xmr-stack or ccminer) but cannot get it to work at all. I have 10 x nVidia GTX 1080 cards that appear to be hashing at around 650-680 H/s each but when I view the dashboard on MPH it does not show any hashing rate at all - nor does the worker show as being active. Also, the balance for ETN does not increase despite leaving it running like this for a good 30 mins or so.
Is someone able to confirm that the pools are indeed active and what config settings I should be using?
thanks in advance

Post your current config settings for the miner(s) you are using, this will help us see if there is something up with your config, or if it maybe a pool problem.
Apologies for the delay in responding.
In ccminer I have the following :
%DWAL% = <myetnaddresshere>
Fork = Klaust (have also tried several others)
Hash = cryptonight - xmr cryptonight
Wallet and worker template = %DWAL%.%WORKER_NAME%
Pool URL = europe.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20596
Pass = x
Extra Params =
Extra Arguments for miner =
In xmr-stak I have the following :
%DWAL% = <myetnaddresshere>
Pool URL = europe.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20596
Pass = x

I see you are using HiveOS, as a test to check your miner is setup OK stop using HiveOS and mine directly to MPH, this will eliminate the possibility that there is a problem with HiveOS.
This may make everything I've typed below moot, but MPH does not require an ETN address but a "Username.Workername", should your config not be (or is it a HiveOS thing):
"%DWAL% = <Username.Workername>" and not "%DWAL% = <myetnaddresshere>"
When you first run xmr-stax-win64 it will ask for some details and create various files, these can be later edited for your specific needs.
Files created:
amd.txt (or maybe nvidia.txt, I don't have an Nvidia card), config.txt and cpu.txt.
The amd.txt/nvidia.txt file lets you tweak the GPU performance.
The cpu.txt lets you tweak CPU mining parameters.
The config.txt for setting various miscellaneous parameters, such as display options.
I've only used xmr-stak-win64, latest V2.4.3 with AMD cards but the configuation should be the same for Nvidia (with minor chages).
Your xmr-stak configuration is somewhat different to mine, this is how I have it set up, just change anything that is Nvidia specific.
The following works for me and I see ETN in my MPH wallet.
The *.bat file; change --noNVIDIA to --noAMD, and remove --noCPU if you want CPU mining, --noUAC is to stop Windows10 asking for permission everytime I start it up on my Win10 rig and "timeout 3" is a 3 second delay before starting miner.
Code:
timeout 3
xmr-stak -C ETN.txt --noNVIDIA --noCPU --noUAC
The ETN.txt file. The only change here is "UserName.WorkerName" , change this to your User & Worker names.
Code:
"pool_list" :
[
{"pool_address" : "europe.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20596", "wallet_address" : "UserName.WorkerName", "rig_id" : "", "pool_password" : "x", "use_nicehash" : false, "use_tls" : false, "tls_fingerprint" : "", "pool_weight" : 1 },
],
"currency" : "cryptonight",
Or you could use Claymore's Cryptonight miner it is easier to setup and is now free to use https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638915.0
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info - I made a mistake with reporting my config having tried many different settings - my %DWAL% value was actually correctly setup as Username.Workername
I have not tried just yet, but i'm thinking I should disabled the CPU (for now) to see if minining with both GPU and CPU from the same miner is causing the issues.
