Hi all... just a weird issue. I have 3 farmboys by INNOSILICON using a2 chips. My issue is that litecoinpool is the only pool that my miners don't crash on. they have some invalid shares but will work day and night just fine. but any other pool they will just stop ... some pools within minutes .. some in hours. pools like supernova and all others like it they also have a variable diff, and I get about 50 to 95 percent Efficiency depending on coin. I haven't been able to get much help from innosilicon. tried changing to fixed diff and changing diff on machines, tried taking machine, the one of 3 that has more invalid shares than the other 2 offline. nothing helps.... wondering why litecoinpool is different and what I could try to make others work.
We don't do anything special protocol-wise, our Stratum implementation is proprietary but totally standards-compliant. You should probably contact the operators of the pools that you have trouble with, maybe by working together you can understand where the problem lies. I've done this before for Titan miners, which used to have very serious issues due to poor early firmware versions.

can some help me out tell me how unlock payment address the Signature is not working ? i copy past my private key from my litecoin wallet in the Signature box to verify its not working unlock what i doing wrong ? can some help me please?
You shouldn't ever give your private key to anyone. What you have to do is use it to generate a signature of the string the website provides you with. That proves your ownership of the address without compromising it.

Version 2.4.3- The miner can now take advantage of the VIA PadLock Hash Engine (PHE), but only in 64-bit mode.
- Version-4 blocks are now recognized.
The source code is, as always, available at GitHub. Source tarball and binaries are available at Sourceforge.

Latest version is not working on my Windows 10 Pro PC.
What issue did you experience exactly? When I click on miner, it just blink and disappear. That is normal. This is a command-line application, it has no graphical interface.

Is there a version of this miner which supports the ScryptJaneNf16 algo?
This latest version 2.4.2 supports it. Scrypt Jane A.K.A scrypt-chacha You must be thinking of some fork. The miner discussed in this thread only supports scrypt and SHA-256d. Trying to compile, but getting errors:
./configure: line 6517: syntax error near unexpected token `,' ./configure: line 6517: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'
See the FAQ in the first post.

Does anyone know why there's such a big difference between what bitcoinwisdom's calculator says and what you're earning? I mean, I have a miner hashing 5.2 Mhs, bitcoinwisdom says I should earn about 0.1279 LTC/day, but I'm only making about 0.065 LTC/day. Why am I earning 50% of what the online calculator says? The pool shows correct hashrate and everything checks out. Is the bitcoinwisdom calculator wrong? Anyone else having same problem?
The current block reward for Litecoin is 25 LTC, but BitcoinWisdom's calculator still defaults to the previous value of 50 LTC, so you need to change that manually. Okay, thanks for the information. How do you let bitcoinwisdom know about the mistake? That's a major boo boo. They have a forum thread here.

Thank you for pointing this out. I've just pushed a commit to the git repo to support the new block version.

How can i use minerd with latest litecoin and bitcoin wallets (0.10+) they stop support getwork. So is there any command line options for getblocktemplate, please provide usage example (ps need it for solo mining, testing purposes) GBT support has been there since version 2.4. Check out the man page for minerd for the full documentation and a couple examples. Basically you just need to provide a payout address by using the --coinbase-addr option, like this: minerd -a sha256d -o http://localhost:18332 -O rpcuser:rpcpass --coinbase-addr=mpXwg4jMtRhuSpVq4xS3HFHmCmWp9NyGKt

I tried to download pooler-cpuminer-2.4.2-win64.zip from the link in the first page but I have this in return Whoops, we can't find that page. It's working just fine for me. You may want to try going to the Sourceforge project page and downloading the file from there ( link). And if that doesn't work, the files are mirrored at GitHub ( link).

Even on a high traffic site ? If we rely on a base of 1,000 visitors / hour for a period of > 60 minutes ? If each person mine 200h / second => 200000h / second is it as negligible for litecoin ?
Yes, a hash rate of 200 kH/s is indeed negligible nowadays (with the current difficulty and price you would earn less than $0.19 per month). And mind that that assumes that at any time your website has, on average, 1000 visitors online simultaneously. Traditional monetization techniques, such as ads, are way more profitable (and don't make your visitors wonder why their computer is heating up so much).

I haven't tested it, but the truth is that it doesn't matter whether it works or not: CPU mining for profit is pointless nowadays, as it's way too slow to be worth it. (So slow that it doesn't even matter how many computers you can get to mine.)

What is the best diff to set for a zeus thunder ave 28 mh/s
I'd let the pool server decide, but if for some reason you want/need fixed difficulty, try 2048.
|

At the moment the highest accepted value for share difficulty is 131072. was trying to set d=40960, but it sets 32768 The pool rounds your suggestion to the closest power of two for technical reasons. I don't see this as a limitation, as in practice only the order of magnitude of the share difficulty matters, not the actual number.
|

Great pool, thanks!
And what is the highest vardiff value for difficulty? - Have an AlcheMist AlcheMiner (256Mh) - and these beasts works normally only @ very high diffs - 20k+ (32k is even better).
At the moment the highest accepted value for share difficulty is 131072. See here for more information and for details on how to set the difficulty manually.

if you are and i think you are mining huntercoin (merged mine like doge is ) and trading it for ltc, how about letting the 1's that play that game receive our hucs separately instead of selling them for ltc?
While I'm sure that this could be a nice option for some miners, as I've explained before it would also complicate our accounting system considerably, so I'm sorry but I'm not considering it at the moment.

well litecoin went down again. could you put it back to 101%? What matters is the LTC/DOGE price, and that didn't go down as spectacularly as BTC/LTC. Right now paying 100% PPS corresponds to a 2.5-3.2% nominal margin (depending on market fluctuations), and I think that's more than fair for a PPS pool.

Reward 100% PPS What's going on?
This.
