Everytime multiport switches cgminer reports getwork failure and hangs. Then it tries to restart 3-4 times before it kicks in. Miner log(recent switch from MEC to LTC):

I started to mine at multiport yesterday and it happens everytime. Earlier I mined pools at multipool without problem.

Edit: Oh, sorry, I hadn't read a page back yet..

Floud, FTC is apparently patching with a hardfork here in the next few days.. I'm sure you're already on this, but if not now you know.

I've got it compiled already, just waiting for a good time to take down the FTC pool for a couple minutes to install it.

Well, shit, it looks like the fork happened already.

I thought we had a couple more days at least.  A bunch of blocks were orphaned.. Sorry guys./

[flound1129]

@Flound:  Is it just the pool hash rate graph itself at fault, and is everything else working fine?  If so then I'll start mining with your pool again in a little while, I don't care about the graph if the shares are still getting paid out.

What hashrate are you expecting to see?

Only about 650kH/s - 700kH/s so obviously I'm not expecting a lot, I was referring to the way that the graph for both me and the pool consist of spikes with gaps between them but as I said before if it's just the graph itself that's off then that doesn't matter to me.  I haven't been mining continuously either apart from the last 7 hours or so but the graph doesn't reflect the pattern of when I was mining solidly, but the pool itself has been and the pool's hashrate graph is similar.  However, it does seem to be counting what I'm doing which is what matters at the end of the day, and also whatever you did to the server now means that my machines have been getting work continuously without dropping out too so it's all good so far as I'm concerned.  The EU server is working properly too now.

The most important thing I see is that you're actively working to maintain and improve this pool properly, even on Sundays.  This is important to me because I'm intending to build a more powerful mining rig as soon as I can afford to, and the fact that you're busy looking after both the pool and us miners means this is a good pool to choose.

Well the spikes with gaps are normal since it shows your hashrate only when the multiport is on that particular coin.  If you click around to the different coins you should see hashrate on those as well depending on when we mined them.

By default, clicking on the "My Stats" page will take you to the stats for current coin being mined.

[endrju1]

I have question.
I mine 24/7 in statistic everything is ok, Est. Coins/Day ~12FTC, Auto Threshold payment set on 10, but my last Withdrawals Sep 27 8:45 AM and there is no more FTC on my acconut.
I work for nothing for 3 days?

What's your username?

Same as on forum: "endrju1"

And you mined only on FTC?

Your FTC balance is 8.531436, not zero.

Also, your FTC hashrate is showing as zero from 2013-09-29 23:13:12 to 2013-09-30 06:58:07 GMT.  You must have been mining somewhere else at that time, or mining a different coin.

I know, balance 7,9 is shown from 27 evening to 29 evening and almost did not move.
29 evening i shut down mining because there is no new ftc on my account.
from 27 Sep to 29 Sep 23:00 statistic is normal but last payout is in Sep 27 8:45 AM
The account balance has not changed for at least 48 hours.

At this moment balance is still 8.531436. Unconfirmed also do not grow.

Yes, most of the blocks we found yesterday were orphaned due to the hard fork at block 87948.

It looks like on 9-29 you may have had some miner issues as you did not submit many shares at all.

Miner work fine, setup is ok and not changed, on other pool works ok.
I give up, I switch to a different pool.
Thanks for help.

[allbiznessman]

flound, I have been watching something that doesn't make sense. My account shows 7.7702 unconfirmed CGB. My hash rate says I am earning about 1.216 CGB per hour, so that would be about 6 1/2 hours for that much. Why is it showing so much unconfirmed?

We got a lot of orphans yesterday, some of them were probably scored before being orphaned so they're sitting in unconfirmed.  I will remove them.

Flound any idea why my cgminer hangs everytime multiport switches? I have posted before.

[milone]

For me it seems that cgminer hangs on occuring difficulty changes of the pool like this (It just happened when I was checking the PC):

I use CGWatcher but it seems that most times CGWatcher is not able to restart cgminer in these special cases.

Which monitoring options are you using? If a condition is met that requires a miner restart, CGWatcher should kill the process if the miner is unresponsive or ignoring the quit command. Regardless of monitoring options, it will also restart (or kill & start if necessary) the process if Windows reports that it is not responding. There are special circumstances where CGWatcher is unable to kill the process, but Task Manager is also unable to kill it. This is rare and caused by driver or hardware problems.

I'm just curious if this is something I can fix. If you're able to kill it in Task Manager, CGWatcher should be able to kill it. So it's a matter of figuring out if an existing monitoring option will trigger the restart in this scenario or if a new option needs to be created. And if the restart is being triggered, why it isn't working properly. I'd appreciate any more info you can give me on what happens when it fails to restart (i.e. debug log entries).

Does anyone know what's with all the FTC orphaned blocks? There's 20 orphaned blocks in a row currently.

This:

Floud, FTC is apparently patching with a hardfork here in the next few days.. I'm sure you're already on this, but if not now you know.

I've got it compiled already, just waiting for a good time to take down the FTC pool for a couple minutes to install it.

Well, shit, it looks like the fork happened already.

I thought we had a couple more days at least.  A bunch of blocks were orphaned.. Sorry guys./

FTC pool is down until a problem with block submission can be fixed.

Looks like middlecoin missed the FTC fork and lost a bunch of blocks too.

That's tricky, the announcement of the FTC fork was a sticky on this forum, and Bushstar told most of the exchange operators, and put it in a lot of chat boxes a week ago, I saw him do it.

The fork was a difficulty formula change to stop the wild 41% swings that were happening each diff change. It's much smaller changes now, only 9% but more frequent.
