Auto Switch on miningpoolhub is working well? Or nicehash?

Well, the Equihash auto switch on MPH was effectively down for about 1/2 day yesterday because the admins missed the upgrade of the ZEN wallet as noted by several members including @crazydane here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4404847.msg41098236#msg41098236

That meant that LOTS of folks were mining away on ZEN and were/will not be paid for their efforts. However, things appear to be fine now so I have switched back to the auto switch URL (us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023).

Sounds good! Thanks!

whats that auto switch on MPH is that auto exchange from zen to btc? and will it send it directly to btc coinbase?..
Thanks

I can confirm ZCL port and auto-switch port on MPH works fine.

It doesn't work quite like NiceHash. You can setup Auto Exchange where it will pay out in the coin of your choice - say BTC. Then in your MPH BTC wallet, you can setup an automatic payout threshold as low as 0.002 BTC. Then, when you reach that threshold, it will automatically send that to the BTC wallet address you provide. The fee for BTC is  0.0001 or about $0.60 USD ATM. I set my payout threshold to 0 which effectively disables the auto payout feature. I like to payout manually from time to time (once per week or so).

Hope this helps.

Am getting around 27 to 30ksols on 2x z9 mini clocked to 700.  It is fairly hot here in the UK right now though.

What's everyone using PPS or PPLNS?

[Zed273]

I'm getting about 7% rejected ("stale") shares on antpool.  I'm really new to this mining thing -- is this normal?

antpool pps works

I'm getting about 7% rejected ("stale") shares on antpool.  I'm really new to this mining thing -- is this normal?

7% is kind of a lot but since they are stale it's hard to say if that's your issue or not.  Stale means they would have been valid but they arrived late, so why did they arrive late?  If your miner isn't changing work when the pool sends a work update then the issue is with the miner, if it is something else then it's not the miner.  Like maybe the internet between you and the pool?

I notice that my Z9 goes through phases of high rejects but the pool I am on does not break down types of rejected shares so I don't know what the reason is.  But if I reboot the miner it stops for a while (like hours).  But I am inclined to think my issue is related to the fact that I have it overclocked as high as I can get it to go and be stable.  If I overclock higher (which I certainly did while testing what worked) I get a lot of rejects and lower hashrate.  I found the clock freq that seems to offer the highest stable hashrate and I have left it there, but as I say, it seems to want restarts every now and again to remain stable.  I may lower my freq again if it happens too often.  Your freq seems like it must be quite a bit lower though because you are the in 14k range while I have mine up in the 16k range.



Maybe try a different pool and see what happens?

Why would you stay on it that long then? I am getting payouts every two hours on flypool. 0.166 yesterday.

Ran for a few hours then went to sleep, was going to test for 24 hours.

Not now.

Yep, back to flypool.

Best guess- You are on Zen. There have been no blocks found for Zen since 45h, our pool is very small so it will take long time to find blocks. Definitely no scam.

Payouts are based on Proportional scheme, which means that payments happens after blocks are being found. Our pool pays out every three hours for valid blocks. More miners means more often payouts.

I see, hate when that happens. Will increase the freq from 650 to 750 tonight. Everyone is saying it's working fine. No invalid shares at 650 the last two days.

Hey everyone, I'm just getting my Z9s up and running and have been playing around with different pools.  So far I've tried Antpool (obviously), Nicehash, Flypool, and this morning I'm giving Mining Pool Hub a try.  I don't mind Antpool but was way more familiar with Flypool from GPU mining and the setup was really easy.  I don't know what the consensus is about Nicehash but I had the worst experience with stale shares over a 24hr period.  I'll try and post a screen shot below.  NH is great to maximize profit (in theory) with the auto switching so after learning about MPH from you all I gave it a shot this morning.  

I'd like to make sure I'm setting up my Z9s properly though so here's what I've done so far:  Signed up with MPH, read the FAQs and poked around the website, looked at the Equihash coins they support and saved wallet data for Bitcoin Gold, Zcash, ZenCash, Zclassic, and Bitcoin Cash (should I bother?).  I didn't see support for Komodo, Hush, or this newer one Commercium.  

Here's where I'm not sure, do you all suggest auto-exchanging?  Pros/cons?  

Now for the Z9 setup I have the URL to "us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023" because the 17023 is the coin-switching port for Equihash (I think I have that right).

Worker is (MPH username).()
Password is whatever I want.

Sorry for the lengthy post, let me know if I left any critical info out.

I have been mining on Flypool (I have 0 rejected shares). I do not think, NiceHash works. I have Antpool as backup. I am at this point only mining ZEC. Very modest OC of 675MHz (14.8 kSols) with board temperatures 64C, fan 70%. I put a "muffler" on my Z9 because my wife (mining at home in a dedicated room with GPU based systems) is sensitive to the noise :-)
