Hi,

We've added FTC to the miners multipool: www.zpool.ca

Cheers!

Thank you!

Hi,

Cheers!

Thank you!

What has happened to FTC? I was mining it yesterday on a multipool when the bottom fell out. Even my confirmed
coins lost most of their value. But on the exchanges everything is normal.

I've dealt with scams, hard forks, excessive orphans etc but I've never seen confirmed coins lose nearly all their value while
the trading price on the exchanges remained stable (rising actually).

Not sure why confirmed balance would get changed... that's odd. Perhaps since we disabled it? We'll enable it in the backend again, just not for mining. We can't seem to keep FTC from generating orphans more than it's confirming. We've tried rebuilding/optimizing and also de-optimizing our stratum server as well as feathercoind. We'll look into some more but don't really see any reason why it orphans to begin with.

Thanks but it wasn't on your pool, but another one of the clones (HP). It was strange, the profitability of FTC dove as well as
my unconfirmed and confirmed balance, but the blocks didn't orphan. This usually indicates a price crash on the
exchange, but as mentioned the price has been stable.

This doesn't make sense. The difficulty didn't change, the block reward didn't change, the exchange price didn't change
but the mining profit dropped 80%. FTC has since been removed from that pool also.

It's probably best to leave it disabled for now.

ohh ok, you quoted my pool so thought it was there. The other clone looks to run pretty much unattended so if something goes wrong, its not usually noticed and can snowball from there.

I posted here because I thought it was a coin issue rather than a pool issue since you were also having problems with FTC.
Since you disabled the coin also I don't know what profitibility you are reporting for comparison. Before HP removed it
it was around 0.8 mBTC/MH/day...

FLASH: I just got s decent block on your pool.

I'm sorry I linked my post to zpool. It was not my intention to imply the problem was with your pool.

FTC seems to be behaving properly on zpool now. I've got 13 confs and counting.

When the profitability crashed on hashpower it also crashed on zpool, perhaps that's when you disabled it.

I think I misspoke a little earlier, my confirmed balance on HP never went down. However the immature coins dropped in
value without dropping in number and without orphaning. They all eventually matured but paid just peanuts.

Everything is looking normal on zpool since you reactivated FTC, except it isn't listed in the upper left of the pool page.
20 confs now, thanks.

Ahh ok no prob. It will start out fine and find block... confirm them... then it'll do a string of orphans for no reason... then back to finding blocks again.

Block confirmed, no other blocks found yet, keeping my fingers crossed.

Should be ok, i've limited mine to 32 which I currently hold.

yeah I dunno what's up with it. It's pretty much the only coind with so many orphans....

Strange. I recommend posting this problem on feathercoin forum.

New Guide for mining with AMD cards, dig in!

http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8220/guide-how-to-mine-feathercoin-neoscrypt-based-coins-on-amd-gpus-with-sgminer

[kenshirothefist]

Hi,

NeoScrypt (and thus Feathercoin) mining broken in Windows sgminer with latest AMD Drivers (Crimson 15.12). Even if one includes amdocl.dll from previous AMD Driver version, mining is still broken. This is bad for Feathercoin. Will Feathercoin developers hire a developer to fix sgminer NeoScrypt kernel to be compatible with newer AMD Drivers?

No.
Maybe.
I am not paying a 1BTC, but maybe you will pull it from others...

a) install 14.7 or earlier drivers;
b) use bin's generated by the forementioned drivers.

AMD has "optimised" their OpenCL compiler in a bad way without notice soon after 14.7. Many other kernels started to perform poor as well. You suggest to hire someone to fix the issue, but are you ready to donate something towards this job? Those developers who were hired for GPU mining works left about a year ago. I have a fast kernel and near complete miner, but it hasn't been my top priority to release it because I have received whopping 0.17 BTC in development donations for the whole this year.

I can send you some FTC to cheer you up.

is this the reason why every few days my miner keeps freezing it was fine but i had to do some cleaning and just reinstalled win7 figuring it was easier and when i did it updated to the amd drivers so i should probably reinstall 14.7
