I've noticed that the EU server is mining totally different coins to the other servers (when it's working, it's down at the time of posting this message). The others are generally reasonably well synchronised, although there are slight differences in the exact timing of coin changes.



The lower color bar on the hash rate charts represents the server (blue = EU, Orange = USW, Red = Asia, Green = USE). The upper color bar represents the coin (or more correctly teh difficulty).

You can see that the EU server is mining different coins for much of the time (usually MOON, while the others are mining DOGE or LTC).

I'm wondering if this is deliberate, and whether it's H2O's attempt to mine some of the smaller coins by only directing a small proportion of hash to them.

Who is clever enough to make an andriod widget which displays our vital stats?  A version of this perhaps - http://bitcoinideal.eu/middlecoin/index.php?username=1M9B8YxAXRLzSR3J74kZe8uA18ZCQGZFCh

I have a "read to submit" app for the apple store.

...snip images...

I'll submit it today and it should take a week until apple aprove it...or not.

It's on the Apple store now for Iphone user:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/middlecoin/id795238640?l=fr&ls=1&mt=8

How to use it:
-On first start, wait until the refresh is done (100%)
-Click on the + button to add a worker/bitcoin payment address
-Use the search bar to type some letters from your bitcoin address. If you haven't wait for the refresh, the search bar has no data.
-Click on your bitcoin address that the search bar display
-Give a name to this account/user
-Click on done
-Enjoy

The estimtated works only for workers that have at least 1 payout.

More features to come in the next update like BTC/mhs/day

Have it downloaded and setup my worker...but... no data for the Pool data or my worker.  

I waited until it refreshed the data... and hit manual refresh a few times, but I have 0.000 for everything.  Issues getting JSON data?  The various web based middlecoin status sites seem to be working ok and I see JSON data hitting middlecoin directly.



UPDATE: Nevermind... all working now.. .had the wrong BTC Address pasted in.

Failover anyone, to useast?

Well I do mine on middlecoin, and it wasn't an issue before when mining straight litecoin, and by "better" I mean more stable and higher hashrates when I restart cgminer. My cards also run average about 65C in temperature. Any ways if nobody know thats fine. If I offend anyone by asking my question here I apologize.

I know I am taking a risk of getting flamed for asking anything in this thread... but at least I though I would try.

 

Yummy, humble pie with a side order of  rollseyes! 

If you're using cgwatcher, there's a setting on the monitoring tab to force it to reset cgminer every X hours of operation.

Yesterdays payout was high, thanks middlecoin!
Way better than mining any altcoin directly imho.

Pretty sure you didn't get flamed, but "CGMiner runs better" is so open-ended that the question needed clarification.

Statistical variance means that anytime your restart CGMiner, or zero the stats, you'll get wild fluctuations in hash rate, W/U, reject rate etc until things settle down over a period of hours. The diff being set to 1024 right now only makes the variance worse even though eventually you should end up with about the same numbers.

I just zeroed CGM on a couple of rigs that are mining elsewhere. Both are 4MH/s rigs. One shows a W/U of close to 5MH/s while the other is under 3MH/s. Once they've been running for a day or two, they'll end up back at the same rate and with broadly similar W/U and reject rate.

In other words it's luck of the draw and restarting CGM shouldn't make any difference to anything in the long run.

Thanks if I don't figure it out I guess thats what Ill have to use..

Hi guys, I need someone with more experience than me with this pool comment on my situation. It's quite a bizarre one.

so basically my rig was down on Saturday from 4:40 pm est for about 5-6 hours since then the rig has been back up and running ( cgminer shows accepted or rejected shares)  but my hashrate on the pool still shows as zero ( even tried 3rd party sites for MC stats) and my stats hasn't changed at all.

TBH, it feels like the cgminer been submitting the shares to a black hole for a day and half now. dunno what to do any more, tried using a new address and hash with that new address still when I try to find the new address, it is not even in data base.

any explanation/help is greatly appreciated

I understand fluctuations in WU and reject rate when starting out a fresh run of cgminer, but what Im talking about is fluctuations in hashrate appearing after running for 24 hrs. For example on a fresh run my 7950s get stable as a rock 640khs, but when I check them at the end of the day they are fluctuating between 590-635 constantly, I also thought I may be because of coin/difficulty changes, but the fluctuations continue even during a specific coin. One strange thing is that one of the cards doesn't seem to fluctuate at all and stays at 640, btw the rig Im talking about has 6 - 7950's in it, running Windows 7 headless. And all this fluctuation immediately stops when I restart cgminer.

A couple of follow-up questions, and we can take this to PM if you prefer so that we don't clutter the thread:

1) What is your cgminer configuration?

2) What PSUs are you running, and are the cards on powered or unpowered risers?

3) When you say that the rate fluctuates on 5 of your 6 cards, where are you seeing this? I'm assuming in the main CGM interface, if so, is it the left or right of the two per-GPU hash rate numbers?

Thanks for the IOS Middlecoin APP,  just what I've been looking for...

Indeed. Thank you.

I've noticed that the EU server is mining totally different coins to the other servers (when it's working, it's down at the time of posting this message).

My understanding is the pool multi-mines. So while one person is on doge, another might be on cat. Thus people think we are changing all the time and mining different stuff.

Hello

Is middlecoin hacked?
since yesterday Statistic is damages and no payout!

Is there a security problem?

How do you run Windows 7 headless?^^

Simply start the pc without a monitor connected? I'm doing it on Win8, once configured and set up so everything starts automatically at boot time, it just keeps doing its thing

And use VNC instead of RDC.

Haha that's not really headless. I thought headless meant without a GUI. I highly doubt you can get Win7 without a GUI except for Windows Server maybe.

Why would you do that?

RDP is built-in and offers better resolution, file transfer, etc. Just needs to be enabled.

Because RDP screws up your temp monitoring. I use RDP only for my BAMT-based rigs, and TightVNC to administer the Win7 rigs. CGRemote for a quick overview at a glance.
