Hi all, I found the problem why can not mine scrypt-jane.
The problem is the latest Catalyst 14.
Now I installed 13.12 and I have no problems, no hw errors, accepted shares.
I got about 7 MH/s (1030 mhz cpu core) and 8-8.5 MH/s (1180 mhz cpu core) on my R9 290X.
Now I'm go to mine THOR :p

Awesome bro....glad you didn't give up.

Thank you. 

If anyone has a problem like mine, here's the solution:
AMD Catalyst 13.12 - http://www2.ati.com/drivers/13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe
YACMiner 3.4.2 - https://github.com/Thirtybird/YACMiner/releases

Code:

yacminer --scrypt -o POOL -u USER -p PASS --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1393167677 -I 20 --worksize 256 -g 1

I don't overclocked, the PC becomes unstable If I set more than default settings (cpu clock 1030 MHz and memory clock 1250 Mhz).
Only for test I put cpu core to 1180 MHz and memory to 1490 MHz and I got 8 - 8.5 MH/s speed.

What's going on with thorcoin.mindfox.net pool?
I see no payments?

[lemfuture]

why didnt we start at supermancoin?

[Amalker]

pools down

[turboblade]

why didnt we start at supermancoin?

Should we team-up and create it? lol

[Taburnak]

so im hashing on cryptopool.eu and its accepting shares but it says there is no network hashrate. is that a error or is the network acctually down?
are my hashes pointless?

[dbzenhosting]

back up now

Could you send me an invite. email is evilbrick1414@aim.com

[pandas_talks]

send an invite to thor.cryptopool.eu/ plz sol.189@yandex.ru  

[mindfox]

pools down

not all pools are down

[mindfox]

Why pay for fees? Mindfox.Net is a 0% fee PROP pool.

Donations are welcome but not required.

Hammer this coin in a clever way. Mine at Mindfox.Net Thorcoin pool.

Mindfox.Net has been re-enforced with a new server which should provide faster browsing experience.
The quality of stratum and pool software is of course the same (if not enhanced, since the new server has more than just 2 cores and 2GBs of RAM )

New Pool Settings:

URL: http://thor.pools.mindfox.net STRATUM:   stratum+tcp://stratum.thor.pools.mindfox.net PORT:   3342 Username:   Weblogin.Worker Password:   Worker Password

If you use a command-line miner, type:

./cgminer --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://stratum.thor.pools.mindfox.net:3342 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password

Old Pool Settings:

URL: http://thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net STRATUM:   stratum+tcp://stratum.thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net PORT:   3342 Username:   Weblogin.Worker Password:   Worker Password

We are not professionals
We do not own expensive hardware
We only do what we know best: provide a rock steady and free pool

[mindfox]

ATTENTION users of thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net

There has been an error with the ticker (double payout was detected) and it didn't pay out any coins for the last ~12 hours.
The problem has been fixed, coins are getting paid now (including every single share everyone sent).

Thank you for your patience and I apologize for any inconvenience this have may caused.

And to avoid any misunderstanding, it was not any attack by someone, it was a normal data integrity problem which caused the software to stop automated operations.

thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net is painfully slow
thor.cryptopool.eu  now is running but it was down few minutes ago
thor.cipherpool.com didn't find any block so far
thor.zeuspool.com is down
thorcoin.coinspool.net is down

just look at difficulty
it was 90 1 hour ago
now is 52
next is 46

You are right only for the web browsing @ thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net. Stratum works perfect and pool calculates shares and distributes coins normally (which is what really is about, isn't it? )

The browsing issue is not exactly an issue but more of because of the redirection of all resources to the pool itself.
If I'm not mistaken, thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net is the only pool that hasn't brought down to it's knees because of the mining load. We did whatever possible to stay online and continue to provide stratum and pool calculations for everyone to use.

I'm just saying this because the way it is presented gives bad reputation to the pool and it's a shame because I strongly believe that the people behind that pool deserves credits for their hard work keeping the pool up, when all other pools went down again and again and again...

The funny thing here is that more than 2-3 pools getting DDoS at the same time while mindfoxs pool is still up, if you read some posts above you would had seen it was because of DDoS and not because of many miners. Talking bad about other pools that they cant handle the load when they actually getting attacked and only 1 pool is up and it is urs.

I did not talk bad about the other pools. On the contrary, if you check previous posts of mine, you will notice that I was trying to support the coin by promoting all pools, not just mine.

While the other pools where down and miners started coming my way, I sat all night watching the logs, inspecting what exactly was happening so I could prevent my pool from going offline too. That's why I restarted stratum a couple of times for a matter of seconds so that all the changes I did to the whole system be applied instantly.
You will understand that all the above is true, just by checking the hashing rate of your miner: Does it really have that amount of power with other coins/algorithms?

Now, regarding the slow performance of the site:
I am not a rich person, nor I expect to do business from becoming a pool owner. I'm just a miner like everybody in here, who wants to return back to the community.
So, I setup a pool to a small cloud server my budget could afford. I have no employees working for me, nor I can afford to have high end servers. It's just me and all of you, supporting the coin and the pools.

That server handled a ~3.5Mhs of hashing load at some time and I was (and still am) doing the best I can to keep the pool in a working state and to gather experiences during that time.
For absolutely no fees, depending only to users' donations (which weren't many, only some users remembered to visit the donation field and support the pool with a percentage of donation)
Mindfox.Net pool keeps providing stratum services to the users of Thor coin and will happily continue to do so, for as long as we can keep up the pace.

If you read the announcements that you're referring to, you will notice that some of them have DDoS protection, right? Just a thought...

I am sorry if I come a little hard on you, but it didn't feel good the fact that you implied that I could be involved to those "attacks".

DDoS protection doesnt automaticly mean that you are 100% protected and you know this already so why do you even mention that?

Yeah you sat up all night when the ddos was happening right? Its not the first time it happens either. Sorry but I do not believe 1 word you are saying here.

"You will understand that all the above is true, just by checking the hashing rate of your miner: Does it really have that amount of power with other coins/algorithms? "

What does my hashrate have to do with anything?

Xtara,

Mindfox has been right the entire time. The coin and pool operate much differently than other pools. He knows what he's talking about.  He has sorted out a huge problem that the normal pool setup doesn't address.

I just wanted to publicly thank Mindfox for the tremendous help and support he has given to THORcoin, the community and Zeuspool.

[tabnk]

No exchange, NET HASH DOWN .

[mindfox]

I would like to remind to all miners, that by not spreading the hashing power to at least 3-4 pools equally, they put the coin in liability.
Right now we're experiencing a 51% attack to the coin. Is anybody aware of that?

Let's not break the cryptocurrency rules ourselves. Spread the hash.

And so that you don't think I'm doing it to favor my pools, don't come to any of my pools. Chose someone else.
Just don't allow this situation to continue like that. Noone outside the Thorcoin community will ever bother with the coin.

[Thorcoin]

Those using Cryptopool please spread some of your hashing power to http://thor.cipherpool.com/

[mindfox]

Those using Cryptopool please spread some of your hashing power to http://thor.cipherpool.com/

Some of the power?
Network hashrate: ~11.68GH/s
cryptopool rate: ~8.59GH/s

I think that at least half of that should be spread to other pools, not just one
