[ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com

[HumbleMiner]

I was curious if anyone could give me a heads up on this. I have a rig that was mining on middlecoin for the past couple days and when i woke this morning the pc was frozen.      This isn't typical so I restarted it and hooked back up to middlecoin and it happened again. The next time I restared I hooked up to a different pool and it hasn't frozen, is there possibly something going on with the pool to cause this? It freaked me out a bit.

Sounds like a heat, hardware or driver issue.  Highly doubt it has to do with the pool you are using

Definitely not heat, and I don't believe it's hardware or driver. It's the pool that was causing it. As soon as I switched pool, the issue was gone.

Temps never got above 77°.

Anyways, I moved the rig back to middlecoin and it seems fine now. Glad H2o got it back up, thanks buddy! 

How should the pool be the reason for it? The pool doesnt change the way calculations are done at your end (besides different starting values and targets that are beings hashed of course ...)
Was the rig really frozen or just cgminer unresponsive ? I can imagine that maybe some connection issues caused cgminer to halt (which might have apperaed to you as a frozen rig)

just my 2 satoshis ...

I have exactly the same issue (posted on a previous page), cgminer freezes on middlecoin only, both on BAMT and Win7. My suspicion is that due to frequent switches/disconnects cgminer is more prone to issues and is ready to go over the edge at any time. I've installed the latest ATI drivers on my BAMT box last night and it didn't freeze when a cgminer on my Win7 box did (11:35 PM PST), but showed a huge drop of kh/s at that point in time.

What version of cgminer are you running?

[ButterBread]

Thank god for that twitter account, no longer HAVE to follow this thread to keep up to date with the pool's status..

How much can I expect for 130kH/s?
How do I configure my cgminer?
Why so many rejects?
Who's that big miner, must be a bot-net?
Y U no mine XYZ coin?
Is this a boil or a pimple?

Although.. There's still the prospect of Tealover's revelation of course

3.7.2 on both boxes. Tried 3.5.0 on my Win7 box, same issue, freezes overnight.

You realize that just because h2o has a twitter account now, doesn't mean that all questions get answered... like mine from above!

edit: and because of these issues... which we still don't know what's causing them... our top miner (800mh/s) has left the pool. I'm sure many others have followed

Like I said earlier, sounds like heat, hardware or driver issues.  This would be happening to many others if it was a pool problem

I run win 7, with cgminer 3.7.2 and have never seen an issue like this.

it is possible something the pool is doing is causing YOUR computer to screw itself up and lockup, but the pool itself is not doing anything different.  if this was a pool issue, it would be happening to many more people than 1 or 2

[okimzti]

None of my settings have changed, but this is how my hashrate has been these past couple of days...



Notice the past two days... a bunch of rejects and lower speeds. Any reason why this is happening?

Read the thread, its been asked 100 times.  try using the EU server instead...and you expect h2o to come here and answer your question??? Its already been answered, now go read!

It's not the pool, it's cgminer. Depends on your system also. Sometimes cgminer freezes my pc (doesn't matter which pool), although that only happens to me if I open cgminer right after start-up.

Same thing happens to my cousin and he was mining FTC at the time.

I've read every page over the last 100 or so pages. USEast server is the closest to me, which I use and have the Oregon (middlecoin.com) server as a backup. None of my settings have changed, yet my hashing changed drastically. At times it's where it's supposed to be (~6.5mh/s) but other times I have a ton of rejects and my hashrate drops down to 4.x mh/s...

I understand there were problems this morning with middlecoin, but that doesn't explain the last 2-3 days.

if same issue most likely your hardware having odd issues

I think the moment when the pool operator answered questions in this thread has passed about 150 pages ago

Have you tried pm, email or a tweet to reach him with your issue?

[noegzit]

I seem to be getting repeat disconnects for some reason.

cgminer keeps telling me "connection to pool 0 interrupted" and "lost [x amount] of shares due to stratum disconnect on pool 0"


Anybody else having this problem?

I have no problem at all with eu server.
My strategy is:

• eu.middlecoin.com
• middlecoin.com

Till there's an automatic switch on middlecoin to the nearest server, if you mine on eu server  you'd better put useast as you 1st backup pool before uswest ( middlecoin and uswest.middlecoi are the same server)

average ping for me  :

eu.middlecoin.com [54.194.173.83] 66 ms
useast.middlecoin.com [54.197.251.210] 129 ms
uswest.middlecoin.com [54.214.242.184]  220 ms
asia.middlecoin.com [54.254.224.191] 289 ms

Had you of read the last 20 pages even, you would see that the solution has been to use the EU server.  Keep using the USA ones, go ahead, keep at it

I doubt introducing 3rd OS would change things. I am using different electrical circuits, different MBs, GPUs, PSUs and different OSes on two rigs. The only common thing is the cgminer pointing to middlecoins.

My next step is to point one of the rigs to my old LTC pool and see if it makes any difference, although I'll be losing some money for sure. Thanks for the advice, anyway.

h2o has stated that all other servers besides the uswest/middlecoin.com server are still in beta and not 100% stable. While they may work most of the time, stuff like that can still happen.

I'm honestly glad that the chinese factory miner left. With a hashrate of 800MH/s you probably shouldn't be mining on a pool anyway.

I hear you, but I don't think he's left.  His hash rate is <400Mh/s right now, but if you click the link, it's definitely him.

If this is no Scrypt ASIC testing lab..
This Scrypt Hashpower would translate to around what 2000 AMD GPU cards.. with powertake +300kwh..
Just rough numbers i could assume wrong. but hey i would wanna see that 2000 GPU farm

I maybe scored the screenshot while they were booting up? 1.2GH/s woot woot.

Just a reminder. It's possibly this chip: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=355268.0
Just 25k of them.

[bigblind]

anybody else having today a lot of rejects?
and anyways: are there any "special" settings that i should use in cgminer for middlecoin?

Is this normal?
