Any idea why it says "wrong format" when trying to enter my ETH wallet address? I just created the account and feeling a bit stupid about it not working...

edit: looks like it has to be all lower case

Hi all!
i am new too
how to set wallet address?
writing "wronf format"

It looks like the address has to contain lower-case letters only.

Please change all upper case characters to lower case ones.

It is the new thing - addresses with upper case characters. It is kind of CRC method. We will of course fix website to support them without error messages.

Hello Guys,
iam new to Coinotron and ETH mining and got 2 questions,

first, iam just a small "for fun and learning" sparetime miner with a single 280x.
my miner is running for about 2-4h per day. is it better to shoose PPS payment or is PPLNS/RBPPS better even with that small amount of time my miner is running?

and, is the hashrate showen on the Coinotron website a better thing then in the miner? while iam running it looks like this:



The webiste tells me something between 17-26 mhz

Thanks for answers and have a nice weekend

Hashrates presented on our website are only estimations based on number of valid shares received in last 30 min span of time.
ETH pool uses very high share difficulty, therefore hashrate estimations have big variance.

Hi Coinotron,

On the payout page, the "one time password" -- is that referring to account password or a new one?
I have problem in saving my coin addresses.

Thanks

How to restore the account from a previously registered email??? Why this is not a simple link? I just forgot the password. When you try registering with the same email address gives a message that the account is present and cannot be again.

It is place to enter code from Google Authenticator. It shows up only if you have turned GA on.

We support Stratum in our Ethereum pool for several months, but still almost 30% of miners use getwork protocol by mining on standard ethminer.
One option to switch to Stratum is to use our proxy together with ethminer:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49182.msg12695410#msg12695410


In this post we would like to recommend you second option:

The use of well known fork of ethminer created and maintained by Genoil: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1368785.0
It is stable and natively supports Stratum, so no need for proxy.
We suggest using latest version ( which currently is ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.0.5 ) available here: https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/tree/master/releases


Example:
ethminer -G -S coinotron.com:3344 -O username.workername:workerpassword

FYI

We updated our website to be compatible with Ethereum EIP #55 Checksum address encoding
So now you can use ETH payout addresses that are encoded with checksum correction.

Hi,
My miners have been stopped by 3 hours this morning with "ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.0.5". with this command "ethminer -G -S coinotron.com:3344 -O almartins.PC-34:PC-34". I' have changed manually to "ethminer-0.9.41" normal version and changed the command to "ethminer -G -F http://coinotron.com:3342/almartins.PC-34:PC-34/" and is working again but have lost 3 hours mining ether !!
Coinotron we need a failover solution, have you one ?

Sorry for this. I'm currently investigating this issue. I'm gathering data from logs and I will report it to genoil. It seems that ethminer just stuck with old blocks and kept them solving.

Do you have any plans on adding a pool for expanse?

Do you have any plans on adding a pool for expanse?

We had expanse pool, but in October or November we closed it due to very weak EXP network at that time.
Our wallet had problems finding active peers, so risk of finding ourselves on wrong fork was not acceptable.

Right now we are working on adding new servers. No plans for new coins, unless something like Etheremu shows up.

I sent you a email coinotron.

Iv been down nearly 24 hours mining. Never got worker alert email.

It appears etminer stopped mining at around 2am.

Really frustrated im down all my ether for that time.

I asked a friend and the same happened to him.

[rocketron]

I dont know what is going on. Huge drop in reported hashrate throughout the night, again no email alert.

Iv no option but to change pool, support turnaround seems slow from coinotron with no clarification what is going on.

I would advise everyone using coinitron to check there miners and hash graphs.

Our getwork eth pool is hammered by some wrongly configured miners.
I think we finally managed to filter out this spam.
ETH Stratum pool was unaffected.

[rocketron]

Thats good to hear..

But i am on the stratum pool using your own proxy.

Maybe you could check it.

Ill leave my miners on and monitor over next 24hours

Stratum was down again ? got email alert at 18.20, stratum came back online around 20.26 ?

Seems to be alot of problems the last few days, hope it gets sorted out

Servers were up and running but there were some network issues at datacenter. Incoming traffic was affected. Different part of the network were affected more or less.
They sorted that out after 2-3 hours.
