Even this guy understands chance better than you.

Ah, I see. I'll just stop worrying then.

I've always thought those hws were a bit scary. I've never had those before at all, even during mining of new coins. But then again, I don't think I've ever mined at such an extremely low difficulty before.

Sorry for all these questions. I just want to make absolutely sure there is nothing wrong on my end.

Is there a relation between number of "accepted" messages in my cgminer and number of "contributor shares" on the following page?
http://enc.miningwith.us/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool



When I first started mining this coin, I restarted cgminer every time HW started to pop up. That gave me a few minutes of expected results. My Khash on the pool stats page was around 160-180 and my contributor shares were well over 10.

I then stopped restarting it but now that I don't constantly restart, my hash rate is around 40 as can be seen here:
http://i.snag.gy/EXnsp.jpg (44khash on the pool page) and my contributor shares stay at 1 or 2. On this screenshot I have cgminer and cpuminer open.


After taking this screenshot, I restarted cgminer once again and watched my stats on the pool page.


My hash rate started rising on the page while my HW was at 0:
http://i.snag.gy/mJmju.jpg (103 khash on the pool page)

Then, once again, when the HW started showing up, my rate dropped on the website a few minutes later.


Is this just luck or random chance? Are not all of my shares being used or sent to the pool?  

Correlation does not mean causation of course but so far, every time I restart cgminer, my stats on the page start getting better until the HWs come back. I'm not quite used to that.

Thanks.

Thanks. I usually have the intensity set a bit lower, when I took the screenshot I was testing if increased intensity would affect the rate of HWs.

And thanks to Moonpool for the help as well!

Thanks again. I feel like an idiot. I just wanted to stop the hw errors from accumulating.

So the following screenshot is relatively normal I hope?

Thanks for the info. So every time cgminer gives me the following message:


A share is being accepted?

After I start cgminer, I get one of those every 10-20 seconds, to me that's normal. But then all of a sudden I'll get multiple every second, that's when my Hw start popping up, doesn't seem normal.






It doesn't feel right. After letting the HW errors grow up to 4500, my hashrate on the pool has dropped  from 180 khash to 60 khash.

I then try quitting cgminer and restarting it up. It'll be back to the default 1 "accepted" share message per ~20 seconds and my khash starts increasing on the pool stat page... that is until the fast shares start popping back up and screwing everything up.  


I don't understand why my hashrate should drop on the website if I'm submitting shares faster? I feel like my mining is being wasted with those HW's.

My shares on the pool page are also a lot lower if I leave it, vs restarting it every time the HW's pop up.

Restarting the program every ~3-5 minutes is quite annoying though.

Hm, HW errors normal?

Everything runs normally until after a few minutes of mining, I'll start getting "Accepted" spammed very fast, almost every second as well as the HW spiking by hundreds in a matter of seconds.

Is that normal?

I've tried lowering my intensity etc, I'm not getting these errors anywhere but here.   Should I close and restart CG miner when it starts spamming  Accepted? Should I just let it wait it out? My Hashrate on your pool dashboard drops quite a bit once the HW errors start popping up.

I don't like the idea of leaving it on like this, generating eventually thousands of HW errors. I watching cgminer for like 20 minutes non stop and the HW errors don't seem to stop once they start. Only way to mine for me seems to be to restart cgminer once the errors start. Any other solutions?
