I explained how this coin works few time, just 3 post back, don`t mine it then... if you don`t like how it works if you have anything better mine that

The network was updated this morning and its now stabilized again at 68Gh where there is less rejects

they slow down a chain a bit so less POW per day as we had 16 and now back to ~10-12

Depend limit is 2400 atm but many are guard nodes which should drop over time by devs, and you need full shard or we drop to 1800 nodes... so each Accepted is one node, reward is is not per share but only if node join shard and received in next 100 block zil reward (~27zil) that also depend on node reputation, network etc
I have no reward math per node nor per A, as many valid shares that are credited to miners are not getting node in shard for xx reason, you can read in white paper
All I do is calculate all rewards I get and adjust what I can pay to miners per accepted share

So in short you will get pay for each accepted share, even if node does not get in shard that is why reward is lower then 27zil as atm that rate is not fix and know to drop under 50% or more

PS devs announced update in few hours so chain should start to move soon again

This is not POW coin but a lot more complex system each A share is max per one node, to understand you need to read whole white paper
In short we have 3-4 shards of 600 places max while the dev in there have over 70% of their guard nodes and we have rest if we manage to get full 600 POW submition in <1min time, over that imagine their diff retarget shifting 400% up just because we had 100+ A at 34Gh and next diff is 137Gh then on next POW we have 4x less shares and we always lose 600 accapted shares.... don`t ask me why they don`t have smarted diff retarget I am not zilliqa dev

On top of that all shares have <1min to be accepted by each node, so its a race and even there pool from verified accepted shares have 50% nodes that not get in shard so recejt for me is even more.... but its the way network work as this is not POW coin in any way

1. diff is low, many miners submit 600 shares in 10-15sec all shares after that are rejected as shard (600 nodes) is full
2. diff spike 4x we have no hash to make 600+ shares, we make 350-550A all that shares are rejected by network as we did not make 600 nodes (full network not just pool)
3. best case solution diff is same over a day then we can expect ~80% accepted and only rejects when we pass 40-50sec window if shard is full
4. 100% accepted is impossible that would mean 1min POW window took all miners to submit just 600 share no more nor less and all get in network fine

"06:44:21 zilminer Send dummy work to init DAG"

Also older zilminer use fake dag generation and generate a lot rejected shares so it be ready for next POW with almost zero diff (almost no GPU work done), thats why I say you need to watch only for accepted for you hash not rejected as they are part of this sistem

PS: they still work on network I hope they fix it soon

Use this one
--farm-recheck 15000 --work-timeout 10800

Network is today slow so expect less POW till zilliqa devs fix it

ATM current diff is 68Ghs, some 450Mhs is needed for one share, we have ~16 epoch now, if all stay stable 6 card rig should do ~6 shares per day, with constant diff rejects should be less, if diff start to go insane again rejects will go up also

Nvidia works gr8 with zilminer in dual mode, zero issue

AMD also works gr8 with zil switcher for solo or pool mine is same if you wana dual mine you need to setup one of those, both works and switch when node send the POW start and POW end whatever it is pool or solo, its the same

This might fix it:
taskkill /f /im miner.exe >null

After mining it should be red as dag is deleted so you can mine primary coin

Also why don`t you put all miners in same folder, also main miner bat should include:
taskkill /F /IM miner_name
miner.exe

so there is no chance to start primary miner 2x

AMD rigs works but some don`t and they should use zill swicher till better miner is not made

depend on luck you should get ~2 per day

From epoch 390 http://rudnik.hopto.org:5000/ is now paying 9zil per share


there was no issue with pool or blockchain for days, block are way faster now maybe you need to adjust when zilminer close the primery miner as sometimes block are <50sec

also zilminer make issue on some AMD rigs and those ppl repoted that zil switcher solved their issues
https://github.com/DanSoQt/ZilSwitcher

there you can define to even close main miner on 98 block so even problematic AMD rigs have time to mine stable

I have no issue, that command is after POW start at block 99 is received for what time it should wait for real POW work in seconds after it will restart primary miner again

block time is 90sec but can be longer and if switch is fast AMD rigs know to frezz

gone to sleep, waited on node updated whole night

Network node are being updated, we should have less diff now

Also if some miners have issue with POW start with AMD rigs freezing pls change to:

--pow-end-timeout 200

pool is working fine in last week, zero issue

DDOS was mitigated and there was no attack in last 3 days, duno if it will happen again as you can never be safe 100% even with good anti ddos rules and updates

there is no discord, and pool are very easy to attack as this is proxy and you can not load balance it at all, and on top POW is just 1-2min so only short burst of 30sec attack is needed

is they want they can make it ddos war then no one will be happy

proxy is using blockexplorer API for start/stop and blockchain sometimes send wrong data when we reach 98-99 block chain can be stuck 2-3min and miner start primary miner again beofore pow, atm there is no solution that is why zil switcher works better as you can setup it better

bootstrap is prolonged by coin developers to epoch 600, so no payout till transactions start to work, will prolly be manual at first then automatic

Its a driver issue if you have opencl error

@RuMiner

Pool is sending data from blockchain API and AMD sometimes have issue if switch is fast, try using proxy switcher from link above, ppl say with it AMD rigs are stable
rejects are fine on this coin as shard space for node is very limited and last shares are rejected even before POW end

Anyone who has issue with AMD and start/stop can use this, it works 100%

I don`t know for hive I use ubuntu... I guess someone can share if he managed to do it

also under hive you can run zilminer without stoping main miner if you have 1.1Gb free on GPU, can be checked with nvidia-smi you will lose some 40% hash on zilliqa that way

try to put Pool server as:

zil://http://rudnik.hopto.org

and as port:

5000/api

as extra arguments set other options
