[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[dpbtcx3]

Hello, i want to obfuscate the traffic from my miners to slush pool using tor, i have routers with openwrt/lede and tor activated, but i'm using slush pool normal addresses, i read that slush has a hidden service for the pool, how do i set up that for my miners?.

Thanks for any orientation you guys can give me.

Why that vs. VPN?

What are you trying to accomplish?

Just want to compare by myself how does VPN vs Tor mining works, does mining on Tor has a negative impact?, how much?, what about VPN?, i think i can "torify" miners on Openwrt/LEDE, but it would be better (for what i'm looking for) if there was a pool's hidden service.

Hello, we use Score reward system, which is pretty close to the PPLNS.

There are some differences tho, please read this for a better understanding: https://slushpool.com/help/manual/rewards

Hi there,

Had this same problem with my last s9, just wouldn't connect.. changed stratum and it connected fine. 6 on same stratum no problem but #7 wouldn't connect.

In fact slash has 5 stratum pools for various regions. I have chose one of them (EU) as the main one and two others (US-EAST and SG) as the secondary pools to prevent from failover issue. So far so good.

My 80 miners have been dropping from slush like yoyos for the past week. Thinking I might have to switch.

I noticed that my miners have been going from "Low" to "OK" very frequently recently. I wonder if there is some issue with Slush's east coast stratum server. Anyone opened a support ticket with them yet?

[imine4coins]

Sent an email.

hahahahah... I know eh, their older brothers are being retired. I think some of those poor miners will just be scrapped. Nobody wants to buy them.

That's a damn shame , you'll have to market them as money making space heaters come winter time.

I guess you were right nothing but ore leaves the rock

Did you receive a reply yet?

My miners  have been getting steadily worse. I'm pretty sure the problem is not on my end as it's happening in two different mining shops.

[Par Avion]

Definitely noticing way more issues lately than I have in the past.

Any updates on this front Slush?

[allinvain]

This is getting rather annoying. Miners go from low to OK in the space of a few minutes. I guess I'll try send them a support e-mail too than.

The start times for the light and back. There are several reasons which might explain that.  The first thing that comes to mind is fucking DDOS attack. The other could be  the lack of server capacity to accommodate all miners involved.

Slush support guy says that they are not aware of any issues on their end:

Hello,

unfortunately we don't have any US server issues reported. I can see in our database that your hash rate drops last only for a short period of time and your scoring hash rate is stable , therefore it has no effect on your rewards (thanks to our moving-average based reward system).

However, there might be some internet connection issues which cause these problems. There are not many similar issues from our customers, however, they show from time to time and usually it is caused by worse internet connection or some error in the miner.

You can lower your alert limit to avoid these notifications or you can also try co connect the problematic miners to another server to see if there is any change.

I guess I'll have to try using their main stratum.slushpool.com address and see if the same thing happens.

Sometimes disruptions go from DNS servers. I've gotten over it too many times  And all I did was the replacement of  the pool URL with its IP address. Try the same. May help.

I'm seeing the same behavior with my miners at a data center on the west coast. It's very annoying. Woke up to a ton of alert emails this morning.

The URL I'm using is: stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333

Obviously this is affecting a number of us. Either they're wrong and there is a problem on their end, or maybe some sort of general routing problem between us and them.

[allinvain]

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I just let their support tech know that others having the same issue. I asked him if he needs some traceroute copy and paste txt so if he says yes maybe it would help if you send one as well.

[Par Avion]

There is 100% an issue.

Something is going on with this. PLEASE look into this asap.
