[ANN][POOL] ipoMiner - Profitable multipool targeting new coins + merged mining!

Not that it is a big deal but how come my scrypt asic gets banned for 60 seconds every time it first tries to connect?  It usually connects fine after that initial wait but it makes rebooting the device always cause a gap in share submissions.

What kind of asic is it? What software are you using? If you want to hop on IRC I can probably help troubleshoot -- Freenode IRC, ##ipominer.

It's a gawminers black widow which is built on Zeus chips.  Like I said, not a real big deal.  I am using bfgminer right now because it seems to get a slightly better hashrate.  But it has the same problem as cgminer.  In fact it was cgminer which alerted me to the issue since it actually says that I was banned for 60 seconds.  Bfgminer acts like I have incorrect pool info and says I may have mis-entered something (forget the exact message).  They both keep retrying and they both eventually connect.  It doesn't happen 100% of the time but probably more than 80%.  I am wondering if it has anything to do with the HW error rate on these things.  It runs around 5% which I am told is about normal.

Have you tried cgminer 4.3.5 beta? Once I started using this with my Asic farm, my reject rate dropped much lower and I get higher hash.

You know that was the first one I tried but I couldn't get it to work at all.  I get this:

 [2014-08-01 15:01:31] USB all: found 10 devices - listing known devices

 [2014-08-01 15:01:31] No known USB devices

Maybe I need to download it from a different source.  I can't remember off hand where I got the one I have but it is supposed to be for the zeus chips.  After that failed I went to cgminer 3.1.1 which was also supposed to be setup for zeus chips and it worked.  Later I tried bfgminer just to check how it did and I feel like it works better, at least version 4.5.0 of bfgminer gives me a better hashrate than cgminer 3.1.1.

Can you link to where you got your cgminer?

Can you link to where you got your cgminer?

I compiled it for my raspberry pi from https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer/

[jimlite]

Can you please paste your .bat file, I can not get bfgminer working on my Zeus/GAW asics at all,
just instacloses box, so I know my config is wrong.

Code:

bfgminer --scrypt -S zus:all -o stratum+tcp://pool.ipominer.com:3333 -u myusername.myworkername -p password --set zus:chips=64 --set zus:clock=330 --set zus:ignore_golden_nonce=1

pause

You can set the clock higher if you like, I just found this was a sweet spot for my particular miner.

Well I was able to get this one to work however I can only get it to work using the libusb driver and they say "Current production lots use a different USB-Serial chip for which the driver has not been fully updated yet. Using libusb will result in poor performance. Use one of the other options below."

Unfortunately I can't seem to make it work with the FTDI driver.  I can't make it find the device. The "--scan-serial zeus:auto" option is Linux only and I am on winblows.

My results using the libusb driver are not good at all, lower hash than bfgminer and higher HW error rate by a large margin.

Zipcoin is now on C-Cex. You had the first post on ZIPcoin thread. What do you think about it now? Are you optimistic about it?

Hello Ipominer,
I would like to ask you to remove ZIPcoin from the pool.
Apparently the coin was used in early stage as mean to steal the other coins from users whose installed windows wallet. Even the "dev" now put there clean file in the ann tread, as you can see in that tread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=721306.220 and later pages) some people have their various coins stolen.

We should NOT support such coins and devs.

Regards
pkobse.

Agreed - coincidentally, its PoW period has also ended.

jadecoin  port?

[ipominer]

jadecoin  port?

JadeCoin (JADE) is a new X11 coin that we've added on direct port 3622.

MultiWalletCoin (MWC) is another X11 coin, which we added yesterday - it is currently on the X11 multiport and direct port 3621.

IPO, keep up the good work.  I know it is hard to find decent coins to mine recently, and I really appreciate your efforts in trying to weed out the good from the bad prospects.

[MKDpump]

Keep up the good work

Anyone else having trouble getting the page to load?
I'm just getting a blank screen

Just adding a new coin, should be back in a second.

So are you taking RZR off?
