The Blocks Factory - Multicoin pool

[riccochet704]

For the R9 series, 15.12 remains the "go-to" driver version - nothing later is more efficient, a LOT of the later drivers give worse results.
I honestly don't think AMD bothers testing the "Relive" series on the R9 cards, since they want you to move to the RX series and Vega instead of sticking with 3+ year old card designs.

I run the latest 17.6.2 drivers and don't really see much difference going back to 15.12. I'm running 390X's.

when i run the 15.12 on Groestl i get about 41 MHS if i run anything else its 21 and i have a 390

I installed the 15.12 this morning and tested. 51 MH/s, same as with the 17.6.2 drivers on my 390X's.

I use this rig for gaming as well, so, having the latest drivers is a bonus.

Driver efficiency in mining has been spotty since 15.12 - some of the 16 series specifically including 16.9.1 and 16.10.1 had the same efficiency as 15.12, but a lot of the versions between 15.12 and 16.9.1 were low-throughput trash, and 16.11 introduced "don't allow modded BIOS" and also dropped the efficiency again.

 I have not, and WILL not, even bother looking at any ReLive (16.12-current) drivers again as I have no cards that need them, and they are so badly bloated I don't even want to THINK about the waste level - I made the mistake of testing 16.12, and GHODS it was way oversized and offered NOTHING to me and was a ROYAL PAIN IN THE REAR to try to navigate and find anything on - then you end up having to go to the "advanced" menu a lot which is nothing more than their PREVIOUS, FAR MORE USABLE interface.

 For those with RX 5xx series cards, of course, you have no option - for which I feel some sorrow for you.

 Don't even get me started on that total waste of time AMD calls "Wattman" - Afterburner makes it look pathetic and was a BETTER tool 5+ years ago.
 For that matter, TriX and PrecisionX are both far better tools - but TriX in recent versions seems to be following AMD's lead into a user-UNfriendly interface that concentrates too much on "pretty" and not enough on usability or being able to FIND where you make certain adjustments.


 Contrary to Micro$loth Marketing's pronouncements for the last couple of decades, change often is NOT better, "fancier" interfaces are often a PAIN to use, and "pretty" does not beat "functional" when you have to use a piece of software more than once a month or so especially when it's so bloated as to take half an hour even at CURRENT Internet speeds just to download all the bloody lard.

You put in the wallet address of the coin you are mining.

How long did you let it run?  You need to wait at least 5+ minutes of continuous to see the rate somewhat accurately on the pool.  Also the local miner is only showing how much hashes/sec it is calculating, not how many are being accepted.  Some hashes aren't going to be useful to the pool and therefore won't count for your shares.  Sometimes when you get lucky with some difficult hashes that get accepted you can actually have a hash rate higher than is reported locally so it largely depends on luck.

Good day. My name is Danil. My account email is danchez@itrsoft.ru. Help me , please. I cannot recover my lost password. After recovery procedure on the pool I don't receive email. Earlier I managed to recover the password but since yesterday I have not received any emails. In the attachment, the screen of the recovery process. http://ppp.syncedtool.eu/shares/file/dc14379e772c3f/ Email is working and I was even able to register a new account on other email and there password recovery is working. May be I need to change email of my account? How to do this?

I submitted a withdrawal 15 minutes ago and it still says transaction not found. I can see other transactions coming from theblocksfactory but mine is not being processed. Can someone help me?

[edit] after 35 minutes I can now see the transaction.

Hi,

First time miner, mining on Myriad-Groestl algo. I've been mining for an hour or so, but my balance hasn't been updated at all on the website. The hash rate doesn't show anything either. Anybody know whats up or I just have to wait it out? Sorry for the noob questions. Cheers

[santanafpsj]

Maybe some decrease on difficulty on these days of crazy exchange??

Is there any mod/admin here?
I just changed my password for something with over 30 chars. But the password to log in is limited to not even half of it, lol.
I just can't log in now because my password is too long.

Then I tried to recover through my email but or I forgot what email I used or it is totally bugged.

Please any mod help me recover my account!

Bump, please t_t
can a mod send me a PM or anything

Also waiting for my invalid pin request, sent PM two days ago with acc deatails..

There have been a rash of people complaining about accounts being hijacked.  More than likely its because user/pass was shared with other sites.   My guess is the email on your account has been changed and therefore your reset is going to a different email address.   You'll likely need to contact the admin to get it resolved.   Always use a password manager with unique passwords on every site.

In my case I created new user , unique pass, pin, wrote it down on paper. I can login to my acc, see my mined dgb, but can't withdraw due invalid pin. I wrote PM to admin, but no answer

EDIT: admin replied, all ok

Has the skein hashrate just gone down a lot for anybody else?

My hashrate has almost halved since yesterday according to the TBF 'My Workers' page.

The Alexis78 skein miner reports the same hashrate as before (around 550 MH/s for my GTX 1070), but on TBF's site it's only listed as around 300MH/s after 12 hours of continous mining.

Also saw that the pools total hashrate seems to have almost halved since yesterday as well, as seen in the top right corner on https://dgb-skein.theblocksfactory.com/.

[Zorg33]

Yes, the reported HR halved since yesterday.
Maybe they doubled the share diff to reduce server load, but forgot to adjust the calculations.
What most important is the "mined in last 24hr" value. If it's OK, then it's fine.

[Chaos_soul19]

Yep, same thing for me 
1080TI usually getting around 1.1 GHs
Now dropped to 400/500 with ccminer reporting the normal hash rate as usual. Problems with the pool?
my mined in 24 hour rate has dropped also

I am having the same issue.

I am looking into this.

Edit :
Issue fixed.
No incidence on payout.

[Chaos_soul19]

No incidence on payout?
Does that mean that payouts werent affected?
My 24 hour payout is reported at much lower than it normally is?

In fact, some blocks has been dropped due to the same problem.
