So this is weird :
10 mins ago my balances were 0.054 est unexchanged and 0.042 confirmed exch adding up to approx .096 btc.
Now we have .029 unexchanged and .057 confirmed, adding up to a grand total of .086 ... So what happened there ? Where did .01 btc go from my account ? User: foodies1.

the price have went down

.

By how much 15% ?

It doesnt look like you can view individual worker stats at Hashco.ws
I was thinking of setting up a new worker for both hashco.ws (switching) and coinotron (LTC) and having a 7950 pointed to each for a couple days to get a benchmark.

Its still not apples to apples though because it ends up in BTC:LTC which both fluctuate day to day - and I assume Bitcoin mining at 1.2mh/s is completely worthless which is going to show that using a switching pool is a huge advantage.

Im mostly curious about the switching pools vs a regular LTC because LTC pools are still profitable to mine.

I'd be very interested in this. I currently have one 7950 at hashcows and one at middlecoin to see which performs the best and plan to monitor it over the next few days (no doubt loosing a bit of coin, but it should be worth it in the long run)

I have another 7950 but can't fit it on the motherboard without my risers, which haven't arrived yet. When that comes I was planning on pointing that towards wemineltc to compare all three.

What makes you choose coinotron?

What makes you choose coinotron?

Its very reliable, i can easily set up new workers, view stats etc. Never seems to give me grief. I havent really tried many others. Main point is I like to see whats going on with my stuff and have full control.

That alternatepool.com is horrible because it doesnt let me see anything. All it does it show my BTC and hashrate. It doesnt let you see the coins they are mining either. Which means they could be mining a very profitable coin and skimming some off the top.
hashco.ws looks decent but still i dont think i will be able to view individual workers which is too bad.

[jedimstr]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding here, but which workers stats are you not seeing in the "Worker Stats" Tab under "Statistics"?

Ahh i found the worker stats tab. I am at work and i have all these security certificate issues and warnings with the site. Its looking a little messed. I see my worker but dont i see a running total of the amount of BTC earned and paid for each worker. All i see is hashrate and the reject %.

hi guys,

i have been mining for roundabout 2 weeks now. switching from straight ltc, to dgc, to wdc, and finally hashcows. hashcows does seem to provide the best bang for the buck since i cant be around the whole day to micromanage my earnings.

I have a question about this multi-coin-mining though...

Whenever a coin switches there is a small stratum disconnect and cgminer reports lost shares. The Output goes like this:

"Lost 206 shares due to stratum disconnect".

Are these shares really lost, aka not sent to the pool? This does happen quite often and im afraid my config might be wrong. Do i need to set a failover Pool to prevent these particular lost shares? Are these shares (that are, from my understanding, already mined for hashcows) then beeing sent to the failover pool?

Thanks in advance

I've seen this also, but then when it reconnects it says it is sending the shares. So you're probably not losing them, just not having them used on the coin that was being mined at the time.

[fablkak]

are you using --thread-concurrency along with --shaders for some reason?
"Setting thread concurrency overrides anything you put into --shaders."

Yes I am using both for a reason, the reason is a good one, very simple and once I tell it to you, you will immediately understand why I included both.
I don't really know what either of them do, I just included settings and played with numbers until my khash went up and HW errors stayed at 0. If it was a crime to waste E ink then I would feel bad about including it however now that I think about it your screen uses less power printing black text than it does showing the white background behind it and so I was including all that redundant text just to save you money on power because I'm a nice guy. You probably owe me a donation or something but don't worry about it.

Translation:
Yes, I included A which is usually mutually exclusive of B because of LOOK SHINY SHINY SHINY COIN!!! FISH!

That's how that sounded to me...

Thumbs up for a decent payout

+1!

+2 things are looking much better today!  thanks for all the hard work, cowfolk!

GDC still borken?
I see that we started mining it again today but we found 0 blocks in 9 min. Now for a coin with a 45 sec block time that ain't so great. Just a few days ago I was complaining that we didn't mine enough GDC but now I think that the coin is kinda broken as every pool only returns a small fraction of estimated returns.
So what do you fellow hashcows think? GDC worth mining or too broke?

[Kiah07]

Should I worry when the pool mines a particular coin and I see this?  I notice this a lot on FST.

The GDC wallet daemon is straight up rejecting solved blocks, so it's one to avoid. I mined it yesterday and part of today and got about 40% of the expected return.

not in the least bit that's just the chain finding blocks, which you'd expect with a coin like fst that has 12 sec block time target

Yeah, we re-enabled a bunch of coins tonight, gdc among them.  However shortly after, I noticed some complaints on other pools of reduced rewards, and warnings that the daemon may have bugs to this effect.   I've re-disabled GDC for now.

Hope this is just linked to GDC & bad luck & not the other coins introduced last night. I last looked after 18 hours of the day & things were looking good with 0.0098 BTC confirmed exchanged balance (which would scale up to 0.0130 over the day at that rate). Woke up this morning to 0.0116 BTC in my ledger & 0.0013 BTC confirmed exchanged balance from the first 5 hours of today (which scales up to an expected 0.006 BTC for the day).

Fingers crossed thing pick up.

BTC prices took a nasty hit and the alts have done much worse. Things are looking lean until there's a rebound in market enthusiasm.

UPDATE: It looks like things are improving with my confirmed exchanged balance now suggesting close to 0.01 BTC for the day and the est. unexchanged balance bulking up. It also looks like my backup pool saw some significant activity overnight so perhaps the stratum had a few issues.

[Karlog]

i had a nice payout yesterday

got 0.015 on hashcows and +- 0.015 on middelcoin (backup pool) and a littel ltc 0.03.. but altcoin prices is real low today :O thinking of keeping all the mined coins form today and sell it later.

[TheSmo]

I get error messages, is this only me?
