Not sure what to think this morning so far I wake up to a block on the pool =) but one of my miners is dead anybody know how to fix it it's,  just 5 months old?

Granite all I've done so far is turn the power on and off about 8 or 9 times.

so then I came upstairs and I can get to the dashboard  but under status it's not doing anything =(

so now I'm trying to reboot it 3 or 4 times. nothing

The next thing I can think of is to go and plug it for an hour or two and then try it.

it could be the power supply but I seriously doubt it considering it's running right now.

when I was watching it I saw one of the lights on the hashing board flash red just for a second and then go away.

and it's not beeping at me and there's no red light but I'm going down to check again.

any ideas guys?

Thank you very much for the suggestion I'll try it tomorrow night, letting it sit unplugged for 2 hours that don't work.


Is it an S7? Maybe try flashing the sd card from image: https://cnshop.bitmain.com/files/download/Tools%20and%20Instructions%20to%20Image%20SD%20card.zip

Sweet, those two were mine.  I had an error when I initially registered using your link so I wasn't sure you would get credit, glad you did!

TY for the help

The A6 that I have mining here shows the pool dead occasionally, and won't reconnect to it unless I restart cgminer. It stays on the failover pool. Anyone have any idea why?

[Mikestang]

My A6 is here more than anywhere and it never has any connectivity issues, other than when the pool itself had some that Johnny posted about like a week ago.
Current run pointed here is 12h 19m no failovers.

Hi,
I notice that the  "est. earnings" is missing from the pool.....will it come back? i like to look at it from tim to time :-)
not that i would like to sound greedy, but is there a bonus at this time?

Anyhow, love this pool, been aboard since block 2,  now ony with rented hash, since my miner broke down.
Been renting @MRR, could someone advice on renting @NH? is it better? how does it work?
Thanks for any tips or tricks!

Keep u the good work.

There (is) was bonus for block finder but as far I can see condition for it has passed (diff change).

You know what?  Absolutely.  If anyone finds a block on the pool before the diff change (about 198 blocks from now), I'll send you 1BTC.

That I don't know... I have 8xA6 pointed here and they reconnect and stay connected without issue.  For example, the last time they failed over to my backup pool was on Monday when I shut down the stratum servers because my datacenter had the switch issue.  When I fired them back up, all of my A6 came right back.

When was the last time your A6 showed the pool as dead and didn't fail back over properly?  Are you on the latest firmware?

You notice correctly.  I took it away because it needs to be fixed.  Until I get that done, it remains gone.  The problem was that it determined your estimated earnings by only considering shares since the previous block was found.  That works out great for a PROP pool, but not at all for PPLNS.  Too many people would PM me or email me or hit me on IRC asking why their payment was "X" when the estimated earnings said it would be "Y".  It will be fixed eventually, I just haven't had the time to dedicate to it (stupid real-world job ).

There was a bonus of 1BTC if you found the block before the diff change.  That didn't happen, unfortunately.  I would have loved to have seen it.  At any rate, there will be another bonus... I just haven't figured out what it'll be yet .  Probably going to do some iteration of the contest we ran last round.  As soon as I finalize the details, I'll post it.

[dennishh]

Thanks for the update Jonny!
Perfectly clear.....since i lost on prev block....i'll await my next retal untill you figured out a bonus (i don't bulk in btc unfortunatly and lost on the last block)
Need nome luck on my way some day...i dont exect to be rich soon, but losing money is not my thing :-P

Any tips on how to use nicehash? and what are the pro's versus MiningRigRentals?


Thanks!!

NH is simple.  You choose either the WH proxy (located in San Jose, CA) or the NH proxy (located in Amsterdam).  Then you choose the algorithm (SHA256).  Now, you just plug in how much you want to spend in total, how much you want to pay for the hash, and how much hash you want.  Put in the pool details and create the order.

The primary difference between NH and MRR is in the way you get your hashing power.  On NH, there is no guaranteed hashing time.  Your order can be outbid and go to zero speed.  Your order might never get to the hash you want.  Or, it might be way over the speed you want.  The point is, with NH you pay for a number of hashes.  How long it takes to get to that number is not relevant to them.

With MRR, you pay for time.  You rent a rig for a set amount of time.  If that rig happens to hash higher than expected, lucky you.  If not... well, hopefully either the rig owner increases your rental time, or MRR refunds you for the difference.

Each has their own advantages.  MRR for when you know "I want exactly X hashing for exactly Y time".  NH for "I want to get N total hashes and don't care how long it takes to get them".

One advantage I will give to NH - your order is very mutable.  What I mean by that is you can cancel it at any time.  You can refill it at any time.  You can change the price you're paying, or the hash limit.  On MRR, once you've picked your rig and rented - that's it unless something catastrophic happens and either the order is auto-canceled because it didn't give you advertised hash in the first 20 minutes, or you complain loudly enough to MRR support and they cancel it.

Thank you Jonny,

Again very clear to me, going to look in to it :-)
Hope next blocks will be found sooner as last one, but it's all in the game!
Cheers and have a great day!

I'm sorry....i have one more question. What does variance percentage say?
User Name   Round Shares   Round %   PPLNS Shares   PPLNS Round %   Variance   Amount

dennishh   3,285,907,700   1.65              9,536,908,973   1.12           67.68   0.28103430

Most miners have 100% and i have less, while others have +200%

What does this say about my miner/hashes?
Thanks in advance! No rush....just like to learn:-)

Sure... the variance is a reflection of shares to find the block, total PPLNS shares, your round shares and your round PPLNS shares.  You can calculate it yourself from the information provided on the round statistics page as follows:

Code:

(100 / ((( 100 / Block Shares) * Your Valid Round Shares) / (( 100 / total PPLNS shares) * Your valid PPLNS round shares)))

If I use your specific numbers:

Code:

(100 / ((( 100 / 199,254,758,327 ) * 3,285,907,700) / (( 100 / 854,454,685,924 ) * 9,536,908,973 ))) = 67.67967218880735

Hope that helps

On NH, there is no guaranteed hashing time.  Your order can be outbid and go to zero speed.  Your order might never get to the hash you want.  Or, it might be way over the speed you want.  The point is, with NH you pay for a number of hashes.  How long it takes to get to that number is not relevant to them.

I started a small 77TH rental last night before I went to bed, but when I woke up I had an email that it had been canceled due to inactivity or something, which I think means I was outbid.  Of course it cancelled when I had 0.008BTC left in my wallet and the min. rental you can do is 0.01BTC and my bitcoin core is still syncing so no refills until that's done.  I even cleaned out the dust on my phone wallet to get that rental going last night since that was the only funds I had available, renting is fun!

The failover are at expected times, it doesn't lose connection. It just does not come back when the pool comes back online.

I'll check the firmware, but it has never been a problem before. It is not really a big deal, but it is just strange. I just need to keep an eye on it a make sure it is working where it is supposed to.

can you send a pm on the referral program. I have a few questions

[jonnybravo0311]

For you guys that are using Rozo's referral... did you create a new NH account?  If not, is there a way to use his referral with your current account?  Obviously I rent from time to time and if I can help out, I will

Weird... I've seen that happen quite a bit with the Bitmain hardware, but haven't ever experienced with my Avalons.  Phil, you've got some experience with the Avalons as well... any ideas?

Thx philipma1957 for using my link. I've been so busy lately I haven't even had a chance to try to fix my broken minor. But based on these tests and my research apparently I only get credit if you create an account with my link, useing your old Acc does not work =((

Thank you everybody for using the link=)

I've got about 11 hours left on this 500th rental  

maybe I'll get lucky and get my first block using a rental
