Avalon 741 - not registering on pool

[zac123]

Hi all. I have an Avalon 741 at a remote location. It's been mining just fine until I had to switch it off briefly two days ago.

Now it will not show up on the pool . I waited 24 hours but it still didn't show. So I went to the miner and rebooted everything. It's showing approx 7th on the controller but it's still not showing on the pool.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
Zac

That's weird. You must be mining somewhere if you are seeing the 7TH at the controller, they don't just idle along hashing to themselves.

Can you post a screenshot if your status page. That will show us where you are pointed. You might also want to double check the pool you are mining to maybe the problem is a worker name or something. Not sure if some of the pool settings would reset when you shut things off.

Edit: did you restart the controller as well when you shut everything down or just the miner?

hi thanks for the reply.

yes i definitely restarted the controller as well but i must admit i did not check if the pool settings had changed. when i go back to the location tomorrow i'll double check and do a screen shot.

unfortunately i don't have remote access. its hooked up to a sim card router and i haven't worked out how to setup up remote access yet. it's reassuring that you say it wouldn't display hash results if it wasn't mining.

P.S. the router also has another miner connected to it which IS showing up on the pool. so i know the router is working ok.

Sounds good. I would definitely hang out until you see it show up on the pool this time save yourself a trip.

Yeah the only issue with the hashrate showing is you are potentially mining for someone else. Maybe Canaan if it went back to factory settings.

What pool if you don't mind me asking? I know some have different ways for reporting multiple workers, if they're designated.

Sorry, but that's a really dumb thing to do

Oh how come? What do you do? Use multiple pools?

[Steamtyme]

I haven't read through all their different payout schemes, but traditionally Antpool has high fees for mining to their pool. Part of that is they do not include transaction fees in the block reward.

You may want to spend some time checking out other pools that payout transaction fees. Good examples are  kano, slushpool and ck pool. If you ask questions in any of their threads on the pools board people can fill you in more.

Edit: here is a good thread about pool selection

^ What he said.

[zac123]

ok thanks for that

ok, so another 24hrs has passed and still not showing. i'm at the location and the pool info seems correct.

there doesnt appear to be an option here to attach an image but trust me the pool info is correct.

i might try renaming the miner and creating a new worker on the pool

[Steamtyme]

Well its good that it all reads as your info.

When looking at the pool, was the overall hashrate correct if a swing of 7TH is noticeable for your gear?

Trying a new worker name is a good idea, I've never used antpool soni don't know the pool interface.

If this doesn't work you would need to start checking with their pool thread or contacting them. You could also try moving the miner to another pool and see if it shows up.

For images you have to upload to imgur or some similar service and then you can post the link here.

look  point it to  a known working address and not for antminer's pool

  pool name    pool.ckpool.org:3333

  user name   16yLHLoeyuCLPMXkVpC3gyrRYvwRGwjKJr

  password        x

that is this pool

http://ckpool.org/

and my mining address

you can check here in about 15 minutes

http://ckpool.org/#/miners

it should show   somewhere are work # 50-60

you would end up maybe  mining 1 cent for me

if it works the issue is with antpool not the miner.
