@PW

Just about 100 more blocks until POW end! Get your coins staking!
News coming.
Give the miners time to dump first

WP,  I'm seeing network disconnects rather frequently on the x13 us east/west servers.  Not on my end, as I have another instance on the same rig mining x11 that keeps on chugging along at the same time.
Any insight?

How often is "rather frequently"?  If you're talking daily or 2x/day, it might just be me restarting them when adding coins (drops connections, comes back up in 2-3 seconds).  If its more often than that, maybe lower your difficulty a bit?  Might be dropping your connection if you don't submit shares in a certain amount of time.

Maybe every ten minutes or so.  I set difficulty based on my hashrate,   but I'll try lowering it to see if it makes a difference and report back.

Yeah, that might be it.  We've had a lot of problems with various DDOS attacks in the past, and our timeout for connections that aren't actually doing work is pretty low, so if your miner hits an unlucky time and doesn't submit a share for a bit, it might get dropped/reconnect.  I might tune it to be a bit less aggressive (we haven't seen those attacks in a while)

I lowered diff to one setting less than recommended based on the faq chart, that did seem to help so far.

I mined a little on the x13 server but, as profitability went down compared to x11, I went back to mining x11. That leaved me with a small amount earned BTC on x13, which I thought would be added to my x11 earnings and send to me when x11 + x13 earned > 0.005. Apparently this is not the case although I'm using the same BTC address for both algos.

http://wafflepool.com/miner/1EhZNuoGosAzmTqY2EE9e9sfifmYq5PQVu

How do I get my earned BTC on x13 if I'm not intending to mine x13 anymore. I want my x13 balance added to my x11 and send to me when both total > 0.005. Is that possible and why this is not the default behaviour?

Thanks.

Currently payouts are run 100% separately.  So, if you had 0.004 in one, and 0.001 in another, you wouldn't be paid on the normal schedule (neither of them meets 0.005 minimum), however you would be paid on Sunday.  This will change as soon as we have all the algorithms in and working (another week?)  But for now, having them 100% separated means that if anything goes wrong (doesn't look like it will, but I like to be extra cautious), means I can see exactly what went wrong, instead of adding a layer of "uhhh, is this Scrypt, or X11, or what, and how much of each?"

did something happen to the stratum server last day and a half or 2 days? i keep getting stratum connection timed out after only a minute it seems, this just started sometime yesterday . This is what it looks like:

Set your difficulty to something that gives you a share every 5-10 seconds.

What if my earnings on x13 is less than 0.001? Am I supposed to just forget it?

No, if it's higher than 0.0005 it will be payed on sunday. If it's smaller I guess losing 20 cents won;t hurt you.

Are there any big player x11 coins we're currently not mining? I won't lie, I don't keep up to date on the newest coins and such, but a quick glance at poolpicker shows multipool almost doubling x11 profits over us and a decent lead over other pools as well, for the past week or so.  Just curious as to what's up with that? I know PW has a lot going on, just curious id we're missing something or whatnot

Multi-pool also had significantly lower profit according to poolpicker over the previous few days.  It could be they mined a coin and sold once it appreciated, and so you're seeing the previous day's income displayed on the following day's profitability.  Or, it could just be luck/variance.  Or, it could be they have some other coin to mine (but I highly doubt it).

Poolpicker, btw, is also rather pure shit... they get their values from the website's themselves, not from actual realized profitability.  So if a pool inflates their display numbers (I've never earned near what the coinking front page says their daily average is), poolpicker reports inflated info.

Also, MP doesn't auto-exchange, so I'm not exactly sure how their numbers work out, but I'm going to guess they base their profitability numbers on what the coins were worth when they mined them, not what they're worth by the time they're matured and sellable (which would affect the numbers).

Looking at poolpicker though, there's absolutely no way they're getting the numbers they claim to be getting for X11.  They only support two coins from what I can see (Crypt/Dark), and neither of those has been remotely that profitable over the last few days.

Hi, to understand this little better technology wise.

First i had only 5 Gridseeds, now 11 Gridseeds with one RasBerry PI mining on wafflepool.

Before with 5 Gridseeds i was stable with 850 MHZ setting, now i can not go 850 MHZ anymore i would end up with a few hundered HW-Errors. It is other pools also.

With 800 MHZ its perfecly fine with very few Hardware Errors.

Has this to do because now the RasBerry must handle more Gridseeds now?

And how many Gridseeds my RasBerry could handle maximum? 20? (11 Now)

PS: I´m using hashra-image.

Hi 5ick3uffalo,
I had something similar issues a while ago. Unfortunately there is no easy - go that way - answer.
Things I tried/changed with sucess:

• a reliable USB hub, may sound strange, but 3 out of 4 cheap ones didn't do the job very well in a 24x7 solution
• tried several PI solutions for Gridseed and finally found Minera (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596620.0), based on CPUMiner
  - Autotuning support for the Minis
  - Autorestart of miner if a device stops
  I'm more than happy with it, 24, 48h with <1% HW-Errors and <1% rejects. But it doesn't like some pools!
• Added some additional safety lines to the PI system
  - slub_debug=FP in /boot/cmdline.txt
  - BMC2708 hardware watchdog, just in case

I do no longer need a regular reboot. Give it a try (In v0.2.3 you can remove the donation pool from the UI)

bye

Before with 6 Gridseeds (where it was running stable @850MHZ) i used powered D-Link Hub (which many say is very good)

I bought a complete package (5 Gridseeds, all cables, industrial A/C) and it came with a LogiLink  (UA0125) powered USB 2.0  8Port-HUB also ( paid 200 for everything, which i think was OK)

Not sure if this Logilink Hub is the culprit, i try the Minera Image first.

With 800Mhz it is running amazing, though. But i want it stable @850

I tried so many pools, but always come back to wafflepool 

[MScFW]

I usually start with 850 MHz in "autotune" mode, after a couple of hours I use the "save current frequencies" to generate the required miner option. Something like:

Code:

--gc3355-freq=8D7830995748:850:0,8D7830995748:900:1,8D7830995748:875:2,8D7830995748:875:3,8D7830995748:875:4,6D7024984857:850:0,6D7024984857:875:1,6D7024984857:900:2,6D7024984857:875:3,6D7024984857:850:4,6D73109C4853:875:0,6D73109C4853:900:1,6D73109C4853:875:2,6D73109C4853:875:3,6D73109C4853:875:4,6D74216E4853:825:0,6D74216E4853:875:1,6D74216E4853:825:2,6D74216E4853:900:3,6D74216E4853:875:4,6D75227D4853:850:0,6D75227D4853:850:1,6D75227D4853:850:2,6D75227D4853:875:3,6D75227D4853:850:4,6D6E25A74857:875:0,6D6E25A74857:875:1,6D6E25A74857:850:2,6D6E25A74857:875:3,6D6E25A74857:875:4,6D75216D4853:875:0,6D75216D4853:875:1,6D75216D4853:875:2,6D75216D4853:875:3,6D75216D4853:875:4,8D7230965748:875:0,8D7230965748:850:1,8D7230965748:850:2,8D7230965748:900:3,8D7230965748:875:4,6D7838894857:875:0,6D7838894857:875:1,6D7838894857:875:2,6D7838894857:875:3,6D7838894857:850:4,6D7635624857:875:0,6D7635624857:875:1,6D7635624857:875:2,6D7635624857:875:3,6D7635624857:875:4

and finally I disable autotuning. As a result I've a very low HW-Error rate and devices already start with "best" option.
