my client cant connect to the pool

[Th3P]

How long does it usually take until a miner shows?

Been 20 minutes and cannot see any details?

BTC address: 15ZXSnhMdSfRrwe5ixEE3QKoMfULq7rc2a

1 hour.

Thanks very much

Finally,

My riser cables arrived, plugged all 6 R9 280x cards into H81 pro btc board and they just would not play together nicely. All cards in rig are 3gb Gigabyte R9280x windforce 3 (GV-R9280XOC-3GD-GA)

In device manager, Yellow exclamation mark next to 1 or 2 varying. Only picking up 4 or 5 cards varying.

Have tried powered risers, non-powered risers, power plugged into the 2 molex SLI / Crossfire points on board just about every CCC available, drivers direct from Gigabyte etc

After trying numerous different drivers, complete re install of win 8.1 64bit and still not partying together I tried something a little different.

When installing the drivers manually that came with windows, there was an option of hardware detected HD7900 series or R9 280x, I chose to install the HD7900 series and the OS then picked up on all 6 cards, no yellow exclamation mark next to any. All cards working and hashing over 700kh each.

I know its not exactly correct setup but it's working, as the R9 280x is a rebadged HD7900 series I guess the bios or firmware is telling the board they are 7900s. They are all working and partying together nicely so it will do for me until the correct bios updates and drivers are released.

So now I have all 8 of my R9 280Xs running and providing total hash rates of 56000kh/s.

Hope this might be of help to anyone else having issues with the H81pro BTC board, my power config is 2 x corsair AX1200i's

Location UK.

Hope this might help someone.

Happy mining,
Axco.

Thank you so much for bringing your experience!

[Alpharoid]

Can someone explain to me why in the general statistics I get a number of rejected twice accepted while in the line that specifies the gpu is not it?
Here's a screenshot for clarity: http://d.pr/i/Oqiw

[SanderHelgesen.]

88% rejected!

fuck windows.

get your self a linux box.

For my next rig I most probably will, I just need to get to grips with writing the required scripts etc, for now I just wanted to get mining.

I am a total newbie to mining well 12 days. I first tried with my desktop and it's Nvidia GTX660Ti then realised/found out I needed AMD GPU's.

So I went and bought the 2 R9 280X's the XFX ones, got them working liked what I saw.

The week after I went and bought all hardware I needed to build a dedicated mining rig, assembled in angled aluminium.

Totally did my head in as the H81 board is advertised as plugNplay for 6 cards with win 8 which it's not, looked online for solutions and saw many others with the same problem. Started to get annoyed after I have just spent almost £3K on equipment and hardware/software so I wanted it all working. Tried many methods as others had wrote about and none worked (error43) then I found my solution in the win8 software, let it install the R9's as HD7900's

I am looking forward to learning how to run the Linux set ups, I have also had conflicting info about using a separate client for each card ??

I would really appreciate any advice or pointers to threads or tutorials ?

Eventually I will be building a rig that runs all gpu's and cpu on watercooling and using the heat from them to heat my koi pond via a heat exchanger. Currently I have to pay for a 3kw electric heater for that at the moment. It was a guy on a koi forum that introduced me to mining as that is how he heats his pond, and earns at the same time. Before last week I had never even heard of mining, but have built my own pcs for the last 14 years and last year my 1st watercooled desktop.

Thanks,
Axco.

[m4ttyd]

Im much the same as abover, made my own thread but seeing as im looking to mine on this pool, I thought I would post here as well to see if anyone can help me.

bought a £3000 rig

5 x sapphire r9290x
Gigabyte x79 up4 MB and all parts to suit
8GB ram
64 SSD
2 x 1000w Corsair PSU

Running windows 8.1pro

It wont recognise the 5th card for a start (tried entering BIOS and disabling audio but no luck, not sure if I did it right)

Secondly, tried to run 4 cards on cg miner with this config below, all I get is "stratum from pool 0 detected new block", my hash rate is on MH not KH and I while its mining its not mining, if you know what I mean.

I really need someone to team viewer my settings and help me out and im wiling to compensate

Best Matt

Terk, what was changed over the weekend?  I'm now getting really bad reject rates again, higher than the pool and cards going sick or dead constantly like I was 8-9 days ago before the last update fixed everything.  I've actually had to disable one card because it was causing one rig to constantly disconnect.

[KC82]

I assume the huge reject rates happen when the pool switches to some crap coin with a block rate that is too fast for its own good. Upgrading to cgminer 3.7.2 from 3.4.2 and using intensity 16 instead of 18 seem to have helped bring my reject rate down overall, but I still see 10 minute intervals of 30-60% rejects which results in 10-15% rejects for the hour.

I guess it is still better than mining LTC if I get 15% rejects and the pool is doing 120% of LTC or better for that hour.

Hi M4TTY,

I don't know what version of cgminer your using ? I downloaded mine from the LTCrabbit website get started page. Your scrypt looks like something I would expect to use for a Linux system.

I got my tweaking tips from the litecoin mining hardware comparison site

https://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

If I even put in my scrypt --shaders2048 the miner starts then closes immediately, I am guessing this is because I running a windows os.

Try installing 1 card at a time rebooting after each

Try to keep it simple to start with then tweak from there on with 1 adjustment at a time so once its all working , if it then doesn't work you can remove your last tweak.

What motherboard are you using ?

Have you tried uninstalling each card in the device manager shutting down, removing plug from mains for a minute, then rebooting, if device manager finds the card then you can opt to update drivers ?

I am sure there are many people on this forum who will be able to help you, I did a lot of reading the last 2 days over weekend and was almost pulling my hair out, whats left of it anyway, I am already going bald.

All the best Axco

Thanks for advice axco

I will try doing a few of the things you mentioned, albeit I will struggle considering I'm not computer savvy, thanks for the reply bro.

Try a linux setup: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=10253.0 it runs off a USB stick, so easy to test and revert back to os on hdd, I did try it some time ago, and have not looked back since. It's SMOS 1.3 but without the forced donation of 15 min/day´

[SanderHelgesen.]

Terk, where are you?

[Hotsauce]

Pool is flying! 150% LTC profitability and 1,356 MH/s, awesome!

[Terk]

Higher rejects are just cost of doing coin-switch business. The pool is having overall 8.5% rejected shares today (varying between 4% and 17% depending on hour), which is up from 6.30% two days ago, but it's also earning 0.0156 BTC/day per MH/s today (stats for 15 hours since midnight UTC) while Middlecoin is performing at 0.0069 BTC/day in the same period today with 5-6% rejects. Every pool has its own coin-switch algorithm and is doing things differently, which is why you can experience different rejected ratio on different pools using the same hardware and the same settings.

I will be deploying EU server soon and doing some other tweaks that might reduce rejected ratio for some users, but generally, I am very happy with the results and I'll trade +2% rejected for much higher profits without a blink.

Great to see overall hashrate growing. We always could use some more. If you're happy with the pool, please tell your friends about it. Thanks!

Where is the current server located, what state?

[Terk]

Where is the current server located, what state?

Oregon. I think I will be moving to California soon after I launch the EU server.

Oregon is closer to me since I am on the East Coast. It would be great if you had one in CA and say NY to cover East coast, and Europe of course. I guess that would all depend on how fast you grow.

Do you plan to disclose the names of coins the pool mines? Similar to what WafflePool does?
