I would check your spelling.
Чё ты сказал?  English is not mine main language, sorry.  I think Scrubfire was talking about your spelling regarding the ping statement. If you tried to ping "midlecoin.com" instead of middlecoin.com it just couldn't work  Connecting to EU server today has been a rollercoaster. It was up, then down, then up again, then it turned upside down... I'm now connected to useast but if you are eastern based I'd try with the Asian server as it might offer a lower latency for your location. |

problems with eu server?
It looks that way. My miner has been switching to useast all morning because eu (50ms latency) got sudenly unresponsive. I'm not to concerned since USEast gives me 150ms latency, but the time cgminer wastes testing the servers and switching between them is messing with my hashrate. What really worries me is that my reject rate went from 1% (avg) to 10% this morning :S |

Then you are doing pretty darn good if you ask me! Your average to an accepted share should have doubled, but it did not! The VALUE of each of those shares did value though. They used to be worth 512, now they are worth 1024. So for 10 minutes at 512 you were getting 4,096 (* .08 per min) and now at 1024 you are getting 5,120 (* .05 per min).
Obviously those number are merely estimates based on your estimates and not including luck or anything else. They do point out one aspect that so many people seem to be missing. The fact that an accepted share is now worth double what it used to be.
F- me with an umbrella... I didn't look at it that way, you are right  my last mining session is 3hrs and 20 min. and so far I've got 108 shares worth 110592 (0.54 spm). Not brilliant, but I've been extremely lucky with rejects: none for the whole session mining at eu.middlecoin.com |

Anubite, Please just TRY playing with your configuration. Your image is completely irrelevant. This rig is running 3 little 7850's.  This rig hasn't been touched since the switch, and it is running fine. You're blaming the pool when it OBVIOUS there is something wrong with your rig. And just to be curious, are you really trying to blame the pool on stats from what, an hour?!?! Well, I can tell you my "rig" (o poor excuse of a rig) was doing "well" before de diff increased to 1024. I was getting around 0.8-0.9 shares per minute on a 7850-5770 setup using cgminer through CGWatcher. I'm now making 0.5-0.6 and I've changed nothing. My WU went from 500-505/m down to 450/m. I set CGWatcher to restart the miner if there are no shares submitted for 10 minutes. It never restarted before the increase, now it does so 4 to 5 times a day. Not complaining, though, I understand it was a necessary step to take, but I can see where Anubite is coming from. Lower hashpower rigs are indeed suffering. |

Up until today I was under the impression I could really pull it off, but since the diff increase today I'm having serious doubts. I'm making around 530Kh/s ... so its obvious my balance will drop considerably.
No, its not obvious. The higher difficulty means more variability, but the long-term payout should be EXACTLY the same. My question to you all, specially to those of you who have low hashpower ... However, power bill isn't getting any cheaper, but my hashrate isn't enough anymore.
There is no such thing as "enough" hashpower.  Do you think ivesting in a couple of 280x/7950 would make it any different right now?
Yes, you will double your earnings by adding one 7950. But again, pool difficulty has no effect on payout. ROI on a 7950 is just a couple months right now. Thanks for your answers, my doubts are almost gone now I really didn't know the diff increase didn't affect share subsmission (yeah... I'm *that* dense :/ ) I'll check my logs to see if there was something wrong with my cards, or my connection. I'm back to 0.7 spm as of now, and 28% efficiency, and no rejects whatsoever for the last hour. I'm sure the guy with 1Gh/s+ also thinks there's no such thing as enough hashpower  Profitability of mining scrypt has dropped considerably from where it was in early to mid December, however, as long as you have cheap (or free) power, you'll probably make ROI within a few months.
Of course, with the variability of the markets, profit changes day by day, however, in my opinion, investing in hardware still isn't a bad deal, as the components still have a value in their utility to others (for gaming/rendering/etc) even IF scrypt mining was no longer profitable.
That said, know that the price of the hardware would probably drop by 35-50% or so if that were to occur... 7950's were going for around $180-200 as recent as early November... and 280x's are only supposed to retail for $300 new (not counting ones with custom cooling solutions)
Just remember to set aside money for your power bill if you do invest in hardware :p Nothing like waking up and realizing (even at $0.085 per KW/h) you owe $450 haha
Good to know, I was eyeing a couple of preowned 7950 for 170 Euros/each (Retail price is around 230 Eur. here) but, man... power just went up 2.3% this year (Electric companies wanted to raise a whole 11%, hah!) so I'm gonna wait until february just in case |

whoa... First of all, since it's my first time posting (long time lurker) allow me to say hi to everyone. It's great to read all the talk, advice and even arguments around here. I've been mining on Middlecoin since last month and I've gotta say, it's made me get into altcoin mining more seriously, to the point of purchasing a new GPU to improve my hashrate and earnings. I'm still adjusting and testing setups, and basically trying to figure out if I should keep mining, invest more money and resources or just quit altogether. Up until today I was under the impression I could really pull it off, but since the diff increase today I'm having serious doubts. I'm making around 530Kh/s (7850+5770) and I've gone from 0.8-0.9 shares per minute and 30% efficiency (CGWatcher stats) to only 0.3 spm /14% efficiency today. I do NOT mine 24/7, just around 12-15 hrs a day, so its obvious my balance will drop considerably. My question to you all, specially to those of you who have low hashpower (I feel kinda like I'm the only small fry posting here :/ ) is the following: Should I keep mining here? I love Middlecoin, and frankly, I ain't had any 'bad experiences' with my payouts, nor with balance or shares. Middlecoin just suits my needs. I point my Miner to middlecoin.com and get BTC, no multiple wallets, cryptocurrencies and trading. However, power bill isn't getting any cheaper, but my hashrate isn't enough anymore. Is any of you having the same thoughts? Do you think ivesting in a couple of 280x/7950 would make it any different right now? Hey guys, is my rejects rate normal? cgminer version 3.7.2 - Started: [2014-01-16 22:28:01] A:152576 R: 1024 HW:0That looks like a great reject rate, but how much time passed since you started cgminer till you got those stats? (NVM, I didn't see the timestamp the first time i read) I'm myself between 1 and 3% Reject usually |

Puede ser cualquier fallo tonto en el CGminer pero no va a influir en nada. Utiliza en Gpu_z para monitorizar. Gracias a ambos Me daba "cosa" porque llegaba a marcarme mal las frecuencias de núcleo y memorias, y la 5770 a 1050MHz me parecía una barbaridad. En cualquier caso he hecho unos cambios mínimos (Para empezar he enchufado un dummy plug a la GPU secundaria) y he puesto casi todo en automático en el config. Ahora estoy sacando 200Kh/s de la 5770 y 350Kh/s de la 7850, que no está mal. Curiosamente, la temperatura parece seguir marcándola a la inversa :/ pero es un problema menor, mejor no tocar nada más |

Hola! mi primer post por aquí después de mucho Lurking para empaparme un poquito de como funciona todo esto. Saludos a todos.
Llevo minando desde diciembre en una pool de altcoin y recientemente he actualizado la fuente de alimentación y ahora albergo 2 GPUs (distintas) en el PC. El caso es que... Necesito algo de ayuda por aquí, he buscado todo lo que he podido y curiosamente no he encontrado nada que me aclare qué está pasando:
Mino con CGMiner (A veces a través de CGWatcher, pero no siempre) y en principio, los valores de "Hashpower" son "correctos". El caso es que otras estadísticas parece que están al revés y no entiendo porqué. Me explico:
Tengo una AMD HD7850 y una ATi HD5770 minando juntas en una sola instancia de CGMiner, y los valores aparecen tal que así:
GPU 0: 69.0C 80% | 180K/181.9Kh/s | A:---- R:-- HW:0 WU: 161.7/m I:17 -> Asumo que esta es mi 5770 por los Kh/s
GPU 1: 74.0C 86% | 345K/351Kh/s | A:--- R:-- HW:0 WU: 322/m I:17 -> Esta es la 7850 (por lógica)
Todo bien, excepto que cuando miro el panel de AMD me dice que la temperatura en mi 7850 es de 69º, luego las temperaturas en CGMiner aparecen por algún motivo al revés? Al hacer cgminer.exe -n option veo que hay un pequeño conflicto que NO entiendo:
[2014-01-15 13:36:42] Platform 0 devices: 2
[2014-01-15 13:36:42] 0 Juniper
[2014-01-15 13:36:42] 1 Pitcairn
[2014-01-15 13:36:42] GPU 0 AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series hardware monitoring enabled
[2014-01-15 13:36:42] GPU 1 AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series hardware monitoring enabled
En las lineas 2 y 3 están identificadas como Juniper 0 (5770) y Pictairn 1 (7850) pero en las dos siguientes lineas están... al revés! A alguien le ha pasado algo similar? No encuentro explicación, y temo que esté afectando a la eficiencia e incluso a la "salud" de las tarjetas. ¿Cómo corregirlo?
Un saludo! Y gracias
