this is my first few days with multipool - i was loving it.
i am, like most others, pretty frustrated over this. at least update the message on the site. at this time a few now means few days. i havent even seen the site today, but im still hashing. no payouts here either.
site owner should speak up. - even though its obvious the site is hosed- human nature really needs some reassurance, after all we are trusting the guy with our resources. additionally, site owner silence, coupled with my adhd will take me elsewhere shortly, even though ive enjoyed multipool, "aint nobody got time fer dat" --illustrated by previous posts... im too afraid to search back the thread for similar incidents.. so ill just chill for a short time more before moving on...
i started seeing the message last night a few times, but it was gone before too long.
peace
I've never had a problem that didn't get worked out. Even when payouts stop they resume and sometimes it's a big payout to catch up. Not sure what's up. I know flound is upgrading the web site but that has nothing to do with our hashing data going into the database and being credited. Believe what cgMiner says it's doing. The worst thing that's happened is ending up on the wrong fork and it gets orphaned and you loose that work. Happens to every miner eventually regardless of where you go.
I've been mining in this pool since April and flound has made a lot of progress and has plans for more. If you do go exploring other pools check back in soon and you'll be glad you did.
im a new miner, and dont think im out of my right to ask
unfortunately i just got home and my cards werent up to temp and they had moved onto a secondary pool. i monitored and tried for 5-10 minutes but stratum is DOWN.
Yes, ask away. If you're new do you know about failover pools
You should always have them and cgMiner will automatically failover to them. I just checked when I saw your post and sure enough all 3 of the scrypt ports report dead and I've failed over to a backup pool. In your config file setup your preferences like this:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://us-west.multipool.us:7777",
"MultiPool" : " Scrypt MultiPort ",
"user" : "Aurum.GPU",
"pass" : "pw"
},
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777",
"MultiPool" : " Scrypt MultiPort ",
"user" : "Aurum.GPU",
"pass" : "pw"
},
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:7777",
"MultiPool" : " Scrypt MultiPort ",
"user" : "Aurum.GPU",
"pass" : "pw"
},
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://de1.miningpool.co:9203",
"Mining Co Pool" : " FastCoin (FST) ",
"user" : "Aurum.GPU",
"pass" : "pw"
},
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://au1.miningpool.co:9203",
"Mining Co Pool" : " StableCoin (SBC) ",
"user" : "Aurum.GPU",
"pass" : "pw"
},
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://usa.wemineltc.com:3334",
"WeMineLTC Pool" : " LiteCoin (LTC) ",
"user" : "Aurum.GPU",
"pass" : "pw"
}
],
"failover-only" : true,
"include" : "Configuration_Miner_Aurum.conf"
}
I split my cgMiner setup into 3 parts: a bat file to launch it with a shortcut placed in the StartUp folder, a Scrypt_Pools.conf, and a Miner.conf for hardware specific parameters.
