The Blocks Factory - Multicoin pool

[Peasantfarmguy]

Im getting a "dead" pool trying to mine digibyte sha256.  

Im using an old antminer s5.

the url Im using is  "s1.theblocksfactory.com:9001   "

for worker name do you put username.workername_diffxxx ? (replacing with correct data)

what am i doing wrong? Im sure its something stupid.

Did you ever firgure out? i am having same problem. thanks

I am running 12 Avalon 6s under 1 controller (so 1 worker) and am trying to figure out what my Diff should be. Anyone have any experience in this area?

Currently I am getting a 14% reject rate and 1.13 S/s, added _device24 to the end of my username.workername.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

k.

If one runs a certain difficulty for 15 minutes, are the Percentage of Rejects or Shares per Second more accurate and which is more reliable to indicate future performance?

I am seeing higher Reject Rates with higher Shares per Second and vice versa.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that each Avalon 6 does between 3.5 and 4 Th/s for a total of about 45 Th/s under a single worker. Trying each Diff and Device.

Getting about 30 DGB per hour

Sorry to be such a noob, I'm just starting to mine digibyte and was wondering what is the best pool to choose:

DigiByte [groestl]
DigiByte [skein]
DigiByte [qubit]
DigiByte [sha256d]
DigiByte [scrypt]

I'm planning to use Nvidea 1070i, I assume gorestl will give me the best hashrates?

Thank you

[boxalex]

from all pools i ever tried, expect the ones that are dead/offline anyway, this one here seems to be the worst still online!

Hi everyone,

I have 3 x Avalon 741 ASIC miners and I use them to mine Digibyte coin with SHA256 algo on this pool. However, I am having a big rate of invalid hash 23.53% / 5.10 TH.

I have setup 32768 difficulty rate, but I still lose heaps of THs. Can you give me any hint or tip how to tweak the settings to get the best hashrate?

Cheers

Withdrew 31000 guncoin to my wallet but transaction ID shows 0, wallet is correct and they have not shown up yet? I see there are other problems with this, has anyone had their coins show up that are having problems or am I wasting time with this pool? Any response from admins of pool on the problem?

[Angry_Albert]

Trying to set my S9 to the pool

stratum+tcp://stratum.s1.theblocksfactory.com:9001
User.Miner_diff16384
Password


I just cant get it to connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks

[aciddude]

@lucazane  - please can you upgrade your Feathercoin node to 0.13 

Miners need to upgrade as soon as possible.

[rawpwr7]

i get my miner to connect. but BF says miner not active???

[yrk1957]

I am using Excavator with FTC, but I seem to be getting a large number of rejected shares (Share is above target).

Any ideas how to fix this?

Withdrew 10000 guncoin to my wallet but transaction ID shows 0, wallet is correct and they have not shown up yet? I see others are having problems with this as well, has anyone had their coins show up that are having problems or am I wasting time with this pool?  Admins please respond!

Try skein DGB with the Alexis_78 ccminer
The 1080ti gets 830MH  using skein on the Alexis_78
(its also strong on NIST5)

get a ccminer KLAUS-T 8.13 for neoscrypt and whatever the latest version of the ccminer is currently going and you'll be well positioned to try stuff out

Need to make sure that TBF is running the current version of GUN V1.4.  If they are still running V1.1, they are going nowhere.  There was a hard fork at block 840,000 and another one coming up at 850,000.  SO everyone needs to upgrade ASAP.

So IF they are behind, once they upgrade will all previously mined blocks that failed transfer to wallets become null and void or will they eventually be sent to the correct wallets?

Again, we cannot speak or speculate what goes on with all the many pools. You can look at the GUN block explorer to confirm that transfers with legitimate transaction IDs are occurring right now and have been for many blocks. There is a huge amount of mining activity on TBF right now and if there were issues getting coins out, that would fall to zero for sure.

It could have been the result of an orphaned or rejected block. If that is the case, you may have to wait for the 80 confirms to show it rejected and it would appear back in your account.  The hashrate and difficulty are pretty high now - that might take a while.

My 31000 still have not shown up in my wallet..I am using the latest one..this was a manual withdrawal..tried 2 other smaller automatic threshold transactions and they went through just fine. Not sure why no one from this pool will respond or at least take the time to push the manual request through with all the activity at the pool but I will not give any hashrate to a pool that won't pay their miners whats owed. It's really too bad they don't care.

Edit: they were able to fix the problem and send my withdrawal in smaller chunks which came through to the wallet with no problems. Thank you for taking care of this..

My guess is it's an issue with larger withdraws, smaller transactions are going just fine.  So the question comes down to who's issue is it?  TBF or GC?  Has GC tried to withdraw a large sum from other mining pools, say 10k or higher balances?  This needs to get hashed out or otherwise nobody will mine GC anymore and it will just die.  If the mining pools and sponsor can't be trusted to pay out then there's no point mining it.

Please for the love of the lord in heaven can you upgrade to Feathercoin  0.13   

It is our latest major release and we need pools to upgrade. 

Thank you.

I'm having the EXACT same problem with the EXACT same setup---my reject rate stays between 20-30%....wayyyy too high---ive tried multiple pools with multiple difficulty settings. So far DGB256online had the lowest reject rate but I like thablockfactory more. tbh I like multipool the most but it had the highest reject rate.

i spoke with blokforge about it and they said that DGB pools are notorious for having problems with accepting difficulties and rejecting shares. they said it takes a day or 2 for the miners and pool to adjust to each other.

they also mentioned that they use this calculation in determining the difficulty to use. GHs/1.4----so running 3 741s on 1 controller would roughly be 22000GHs/1.4 which is roughly 15800.

About 3 hours ago i switched my difficulty setting to 15500 and so far the reject rate is about 17%---which is still WAY too high but much lower than it had been---im going to let them keep running for another 24-48 hours like this and see if things get better---im really wanting to mine DGB so im hoping this works---but only getting 70-80% of your hashrate just isnt sustainable---i will keep you posted over the next day or so on how its working---in the meantime it might be worth trying on your end as well.

also, if you or anyone else has found a solution please let me know! im dying to figure this out!

Are you guys not looking at the block explorer and seeing some bigger transfers? There is a HUGE amount of mining going on now, TBF is sending payouts by the dozens, we can see them from their wallets. No one is complaining about any other pool or sending wallet to wallet, only a handful from TBF. We have autoswitch pools switching over and adding 300-400MHz several times each week and moving thousands of coins, lots of those coins are right into Cryptopia.  I have seen zero evidence of any generic GC issues! Where on the block explorer is there a zero transfer or zero transaction ID???
