how is that exactly calculated? ibipot.com hash was tuned to be as close as possible to equipment mining power for bitcoin eg. when BFL Jalapeno does 7GH bitcoins then I tuned ibipot to show about the same for MED. Thats how ibipot hashrate is calculated from submitted shares. But if we find 82% of blocks... the we need to check where in MED system is the flaw.. Mayby ibipot should show that BE will do 2GH instead of 0.333GH that bfgminer/cgminer shows.. then the % - of nethash on ibipot hash will match...

any ideas? it does not seem to logic that solo miner do not find blocks...

It is strange, I am wondering if it is possible people are mining incorrectly and this is showing a hashrate like if I point my scrypt miners to a scrypt-jane coin (using my scrypt settings) it shows a hashrate but I receive nothing.

Also as a side note I do like this steady growth, MED is looking to be a great coin.

I think that network hash rate is calculated through DIFFICULTY and BLOCK GENERATION SPEED.
so it's impossible that a "bad" config influence network hashrate.

Bitcoin Example:

expected_blocks = 144
difficulty = 11187257.461361 # this is on May 22nd 2013
blocks_found = 155 # Also May 22nd 2013
hash_rate = (blocks_found/expected_blocks*difficulty * 2**32 / 600)

MED example:

HASHRATE = DIFF * 2^32 / BLOCKTIME

HASHRATE = (100000 * 2**32) / 60
HASHRATE = 7,1582788 * 10^12 = 7,15 THS

That's a very good point mill, I was wondering something similar myself. I noticed the estimated MED/day reported on the Ibipot pool was much lower than the amount of MED I'm actually getting. At first I thought the estimate was just miscalculated, but the math all checked out for hashrate vs expected MED/day. Then I noticed the pool is finding WAY MORE blocks than it should be. With the pool at approx 800 GH and diff ~100k it should find about 161 blocks per day ((800GH/s)/(2^32Hashes/share*100000shares/block)= 0.00186 blocks/second = 161 blocks/day) however the pool found 1159 blocks in the last 24 hours. Even with the pool hashrate and difficulty changing, that still couldn't explain the difference between 161 expected blocks and 1159 found blocks.

I'm thinking it's just the MED algorithm itself that makes it easier to find a block of a certain difficulty when compared to Bitcoin or Litecoin. That would explain the client reporting a higher than expected network hash rate. What do you guys think?

Is it possible to use the detached mcproxy miner method to mine on a pool? I'm only seeing guides on how to solo mine like that

I believe ibipot has a guide in the getting started section

Yeah I'm just seeing that now... Looks like I need to compile a windows binary so the mcproxy can do stratum. Guess I need to figure out how to do that

[tyz]

Can you please provide a wallet for MAC too?

what is you want to do? I have used 2nd gen MED bfgminer with --http-port option to do the job (bitcoinminer hashes -> 2nd gen med bgfminer -> pool).
Also you could use MCProxy4 that has stratum built in.

I got a 60 GH BFL but it works terribly with the 2nd gen bflminer. I managed to get it mining up to the full 60 GH/s with 1st gen bfl miner with external mcproxy3 but I can only get that to solo mine. I'd like to be able to mine with it on your pool

[poplolnman]

if you download cristof's mcproxy3 w mining-proxy + bfgminer, u need to start mcproxy first then the mining proxy and then bfgminer all with a bat file each....this will allow you to mine on any pool.

is there something wrong with ibipot? 0 blocks in the last hour.

There was error, fixed now.

And the 1st week winner is:



Congratulations!!

Got my 3 Antminers today from ibipot.... Thanks...

Thanks though it appears the pool is doing it again

ok, looks like multiple server are giving me some headache.. I'll look into that. shrares are still accepted, only web interface has some troubles..

[eestimees]

ibipot pool is down for maintenance - solving problems...

[BChydro]

On to solo mining I guess

[eestimees]

pool is coming back, if that problem repeats, then I have do switch back to single-server setup for further investigation.

Are you able to get the full 1.6 GH/s from those when mining MED?

Hello, complete noob here.  This is my first time trying to mine anything and I am running across two problems.  

First, when installing bfgminer as per instructions from mediterraneancoin.org I get the error: "'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." when trying to run the mcproxy from the command prompt.  I have the latest versions of Java and the JDK installed.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it!  Needed to add java to %PATH%.

The second issue is if I do try to run bfgminer anyways my keyboard stops working and my mouse is all screwed up.  I can no longer highlight things or right click until I restart the computer.  This is on windows 7.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey, welcome to the MED world. First, what kind of mining hardware are you using? Also, which version of BFGminer?

[fly757]

waiting for new generation BFG

BFG2 doesn't work well with some ASIC devices
