With a power reduction on a 9 GPU rig of nearly 20 percent using NVIDIA Inspector over Afterburner, I think running a batch file at startup is a small price to pay.

With a properly configured batch file that runs at startup, yes, it can.

If you're going to use federal law to threaten someone, it helps to not use documents from 2001 that are no longer accurate.  The rules have since changed to allow a business to not provide a revised shipping date so long as they have a reasonable basis for doing so:

Try harder next time.

Presumably, when the mainnet is restarted.

There seems to be an increase in the number of coins using someone else's trademarked term as part of their coin name.  Hope you are flexible enough to change it all around if the owners of the name come around and tell you to stop using it.

The entire pool reports having fewer hashes than that.

No, you're blaming them for making this coin look bad, and telling them they should grow up.  As this seems to be the prevailing attitude of the community, I think my decision to move on and mine something else has been made.

This is a fair point and a lesson learned for me.  Again, though, it doesn't really answer the issue regarding how the community here seems to have reacted to this issue, by and large.  (See below for yet another example of this.)


The victim-blaming in this post is perfectly indicative of the point I made several posts ago regarding this community. If anything, it's posts like this that newbies to this coin should be looking at, not just the ones about Threeeyed.

I thought the whole point of XTL was that it was private and untraceable -- that is, it's impossible to see someone's balance through the explorer.

There are two problems with your statements in this instance, though:

1)  Threeeyed themselves told people not to mine there at some point, and people heeded that advice.  By and large, though, the people who are complaining about not having received their coins are the people who actually did follow that advice and moved to another pool.

You don't get to have it both ways by telling people they shouldn't complain and should have moved to a different pool, when the bulk of people in this situation did just that.

2)  It's difficult to provide proof when the proof disappears - as someone who had a mature balance from that pool that was never paid, it's impossible to show your proof when your mature balance drops to zero with no notice, because you're going on someone's word that it'll be fixed.

For me, personally, the 107 RVN I lost isn't a huge deal - it represents about eight hours of overnight mining that I have no return on and will never have return on, but that's life.  What has bothered me the most, though, are the people here (who, without exception, aren't in the same boat because they got what they were supposed to) who are essentially accusing people of lying about not getting what they were supposed to, or essentially saying that these people are stupid because they are demanding something they obviously weren't supposed to get.

And for me, if that's going to be how the community acts for a coin that is community-run, then maybe I should look elsewhere, because it says far more about the community (and, to me, the coin) than a lot of people are going to be willing to admit.

And with all due respect, it's easy for you (or anyone who got what they were supposed to get) to say not to hate on him.  But there seem to be quite a few people who didn't, and to tell them that they shouldn't hate on someone (or, worse, blaming them by calling them "confused") is flat-out insulting on your part.

If that's true, I think calling it unprofessional is being kind, as 3I themselves were telling people to mine elsewhere until everything got sorted out.

I changed to Pickaxe.

Count me among the people who never received their last payments - I had a mature balance of about 107 before I left that pool, which I never received.

If the payments are supposedly all made, then I guess I shouldn't count on getting resolution, either.

With the fork occurring earlier today, you'll need to have both the new version of xmr-stak as well as be mining in a pool that has made the switch.

I know that Nvidia cards aren't optimal for Cryptonight mining, but I'm finding now that the 1050ti cards I have in my rig now hash about a third slower than they did under the old xmr-stak (they used to be around 300H/s each, and now, neither of them can get much above 200H/s).  

In fact, I have a 750ti in another computer that hashes faster (about 250H/s), even after this change.

EDIT:  For other people who may be having this issue, the default configuration for 1050ti cards has drastically changed in the new version - these cards now default to 8 threads, as opposed to the old default of 36.  Changing the threads will increase the hashrate to the old levels.

I can get an invalid block here and there - it happens.  Having eleven consecutive blocks become simultaneously invalid (and a twelfth shortly after that) points to a larger issue in my mind, though.

Anyone have any idea why the last eleven blocks found in the community pool suddenly orphaned?

In my instance, a lack of shares was not the issue - other than the one invalid share that was submitted, there was nothing occurring that showed anything out of the ordinary on my end.  The end result is that the balances were paid and sent to my wallet, but this occurred hours after the blocks had matured.

0.95, which says to me that the total due hasn't increased since my last payment (which was at 1:41am Pacific time, just under 8 hours ago).

EDIT:  The payments have started to shake loose, finally -- I had a payment credit about five minutes ago (9:45am), and my pending balance reflects some more that will pay out shortly.
