HW Errors are quite normal with the diffculty at .43 as it is right now, if you notice, you get shares INSANELY quickly. I wouldn't lower intensity at all, leave it as a normal scrypt coin config.

Thanks for the info. So every time cgminer gives me the following message:

- Accepted fed95850 Diff 8/0 GPU 0

A share is being accepted?

After I start cgminer, I get one of those every 10-20 seconds, to me that's normal. But then all of a sudden I'll get multiple every second, that's when my Hw start popping up, doesn't seem normal.






It doesn't feel right. After letting the HW errors grow up to 4500, my hashrate on the pool has dropped  from 180 khash to 60 khash.

I then try quitting cgminer and restarting it up. It'll be back to the default 1 "accepted" share message per ~20 seconds and my khash starts increasing on the pool stat page... that is until the fast shares start popping back up and screwing everything up.  


I don't understand why my hashrate should drop on the website if I'm submitting shares faster? I feel like my mining is being wasted with those HW's.

My shares on the pool page are also a lot lower if I leave it, vs restarting it every time the HW's pop up.

Restarting the program every ~3-5 minutes is quite annoying though.

Wait what? Don't restart the program at all.
Every time a block is found your hashrate on the pool is reset as it is based on shares, blocks are being found pretty quickly:
http://enc.miningwith.us/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks
The shares are happening very quickly, thus the hardware errors. You resetting your miner is causing you to lose shares and get less coin, as well as throwing off the site, as its based on a average of your shares sent.
This is common for very very new coins.

Thanks again. I feel like an idiot. I just wanted to stop the hw errors from accumulating.

So the following screenshot is relatively normal I hope? http://i.snag.gy/MuhFs.jpg

Yep, completely fine, you should be seeing coin appear in your unconfirmed on the dashboard.

aslime - your intensity looks like it might be too high for your gpu. This has nothing to do with the pool.

No, that isn't the case, these people are having completely fine configs as it is the same config they are using for other scrypt coins, its the low difficulty and the way stratum works.

We need block explorer soon .

Taken from your site:

Entropycoin is a new alt coin that pays tribute to the great matemeticians and physicists of the past and present. Yes, we know that the symbol for entropy is S, but rather than use the same symbol as a very popular FIAT currency, we chose something else. Entropy is often discussed within the field of information theory as well. In that context the probability of a coin toss is often used to explain it. What better then, to make an alt coin celebrating entropy?

Back to the point, in tribute to Rudolph Clausis, originator of the concept of entropy, let's mine some Entropycoin and Get More Beard!


Lol. I appreciate the innovation of this coin and the unique concept behind it, but you really thought of making money out of it?

I don't see what is wrong with it, nice logo, nice website, people will grab on.

Thanks. I usually have the intensity set a bit lower, when I took the screenshot I was testing if increased intensity would affect the rate of HWs.

And thanks to Moonpool for the help as well!

need more pool

Sure. Grab it and HODL till the MOON.
I just thought that the dev utilized the concept of entropy somehow with this coin.

[rahleurfan]

Nice start for Entropycoin, will support it
And yes, we need more pools.

erre- Since probability and uncertainty are part of it, haven't we already incorporated it?

I met ton of HW when mine in http://enc.miningwith.us

That is due to the .43 difficulty, ignore it, you are sending shares at a very quick rate, HW errors happen at this low of a difficulty, especially with a pool.

Sorry for all these questions. I just want to make absolutely sure there is nothing wrong on my end.

Is there a relation between number of "accepted" messages in my cgminer and number of "contributor shares" on the following page?
http://enc.miningwith.us/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool



When I first started mining this coin, I restarted cgminer every time HW started to pop up. That gave me a few minutes of expected results. My Khash on the pool stats page was around 160-180 and my contributor shares were well over 10.

I then stopped restarting it but now that I don't constantly restart, my hash rate is around 40 as can be seen here:
http://i.snag.gy/EXnsp.jpg (44khash on the pool page) and my contributor shares stay at 1 or 2. On this screenshot I have cgminer and cpuminer open.


After taking this screenshot, I restarted cgminer once again and watched my stats on the pool page.


My hash rate started rising on the page while my HW was at 0:
http://i.snag.gy/mJmju.jpg (103 khash on the pool page)

Then, once again, when the HW started showing up, my rate dropped on the website a few minutes later.


Is this just luck or random chance? Are not all of my shares being used or sent to the pool?  

Correlation does not mean causation of course but so far, every time I restart cgminer, my stats on the page start getting better until the HWs come back. I'm not quite used to that.

Thanks.

stratum connection interrupted ?

pool down ?

I don't really understand why you are having so many issues, its just like any other coin at this low difficulty, HW errors just mean you are sending a share that is invalid at that difficulty level, it doesn't anything is wrong. Targeting the difficulty of .43 is extremely hard, and thus you get insane amounts of accepted shares very often, it is quite common and normal.
Just look at your transaction history, you are getting paid for what you are sending. Just because your stats are suddenly "better" does not mean they are, its based on a AVERAGE over time, not something instant.

[rahleurfan]

Why pool is down guys ?

EDIT: Pool up again
