Hello everyone, my miner was disconnected yesterday and no longer works on other pools, it gives a hashrate of EU, I connect and at zero, something happened to the server or is it just me who has problems?

Pool is working fine and nothing has changed. You may have a routing issue.

I'm literally just using my computer and that's it. But that's good to know thanks for the information. I'll just buy a faster miner over 600 GHS

So if I magically find a block with a slow miner since i never submitted a share I wont get credit for my work or the block reward? I mine for fun and I'm hashing more than a nerd miner and I never submitted a share. I mine to this pool and I'm hashing in the MH's which isn't anything but it's more than those miners you where talking about. What's the minimum hash rate to find shares?  

My understand of the pool even if you don't fine shares you can still find a block? So regardless if you submit shares or not it makes no difference since you're not sharing the block reward with a community of miners

NO! It makes no difference to other folks but you MUST submit shares for a shot at the lottery. If you are trying to use say a Nerdminer (70kHs) and never are able to submit a share because it is a pretty TOY that is far far too slow, there is no way you can 'find a block'.

At a minimum, new work - a new share - is sent to everyone in the pool every time a block is found on the network. In response you must submit at least 1 share back to the pool before the next block is found (on average every 10min). Most folks receive and submit around 18 shares/min. Shares are proof that you have a valid miner that is doing work.

A block ultimately is a high share. The pool FAQ says 100GH minimum. You're wasting your time and the pool's bandwidth with 2010 mining equipment. Your name is also suggestive that you're running a botnet of CPUs mining, and if so - don't do that.

I've just added a BitAxe Gamma to my kit, I must say I'm quite impressed with it. The AXEOS is nicely presented and easy to use.

So, if you're thinking of doing solo mining properly and getting yourself an ASIC miner instead of just burning watts on an old PC for a few hundred KH/s.

I'd recommend a BitAxe Gamma, out of the box 2-3 minutes to set-up and then 1-1.2TH/s performance.

Good luck!

tell me how to solve this problem, I rebooted the miner, tried to switch to another wallet and nothing works, how to solve the routing problem?

the miner worked for more than a month everything was fine yesterday at 9 pm but it turned off the problem is not solved

Routing problems are usually internet related and not your fault. Something about the way your provider connects to the EU pool. On linux you can use traceroute to check if you can get there, I'm not sure on other operating systems. The other thing is the hosting provider may have decided to block IPs from certain parts of the world - they sometimes do this without telling the people who use the service. I don't put any blocks in place.

yes you are right there were problems with the internet and the provider 🙏

Hi, what kind of wallet I must to create in Bitcoin Core to use in CKpool?

The latest versions of Bitcoin Core no longer allow the creation of legacy wallets.

Any chance inactive workers data be reset by click of a button?. Of late there seems to be issue with wrong workers showing up hashing in workers list when they are not active or some workers have hung up with a fixed number in hashrate where as lastUpdate was days ago and in fact they are not hashing. Definitely some issue wrt workers stats. When this case is present it sometimes also result in some worker fluctuations when there is no network disruptions (as per miner logs). Not sure if its a known issue. Kindly review.

Not implemented, sorry.

well when do these inactive worker reset / drop forever from the wallet worker history?

[Gholly]

I don't look at my miners very often, I'm not running enough Hashrate to get excited about.
I saw one miner off line this morning . When I signed in I saw my "BestShare" at 18446744072376070000 and thought "Did lightning actually strike?"
You know 18 quintillion is a pretty good share. Then I notice the miner is not restarting properly so I guess it was just the dying gasp of the old T15.

It would have been nice though.

@ -ck

I'm just wondering what metrics are used to calculate the pool's difficulty level set for a given worker, is it purely down to the number of shares returned in a given time?

Also, how is the difficulty set by a miner? Most of my rigs run CGMiner which has a suggested difficulty parameter '--suggested-diff xxx' that allow me to set the difficulty I want.

However, I've recently added a BitAxe Gamma and there appears to be no method for requesting a particular difficulty so it falls back to whatever the pool decides, is there an additional parameter that can be set for example in the password field like -d = 10000?

Thanks

Cgminer was the only mining software that implemented the stratum command for suggesting diff. Bitaxe and others use different mining software these days, without any support for suggesting diff. The pool chooses based on submission rate to maintain 18 shares per minute. Suggesting diff is by and large a waste of time since the pool will find the optimal value for your mining hardware over enough time, unless you want to set it higher than strictly needed (there's no logical reason for this apart from a very tiny drop in internet bandwidth.) The pool will ignore you setting too low a diff as this potentially acts as a DoS on the pool.

Hi -ck

OK thanks for the explanation. I have most of my rigs set with a higher value than the pool requested but not massively different for my fastest rig the pool was requesting something quite low ~3000-4000 for 6TH/s I increased this to 12000 and I found by doing that the average returned share values were higher and as you pointed out it reduced network usage marginally, though insignificant in reality.

It all runs fine, so no issues.

I just wanted to do the same with the BitAxe since it seemed to be hammering the network more than I was expecting, the pool has settled on a diff of 911 for 1.1-1.2TH/s from the BitAxe I think it could do with being a bit higher probably twice that so 1500-1800. Hence my earlier question.

Anyway, its not really a problem just more an observation than anything.

Thanks for your help

So what is the point of only 18 shares per min?  Surly with such a beefy pool we should be able to sumit way more shares.

Something that has puzzled me about the diff and pools for time is why restrict us to such a low value of share per min.

18 is hardly a drop in the ocean compaird to the power of the server.

If there is no serious load then why limit to 18 shares per min? 

Would this not also have some effect on the time expected for a block?
If you are exected to solve a block when your shares are on par with network diff then it would take approximately 13 million years to submit 123 trillion shares at 18 shares per minute.

That cannot be correct.

so that means almost never Please consider having a script purging inactive workers data - might optimise storage but definitely improve user experience. There's definitely a bug with workers stats section - possibly associated with renaming the workers or switching between unnamed and named workers wrt inactive workers.

That cannot be correct.  

Assuming I understand it correctly:-

If for example the pool sets a difficulty of 1000 the miner will only return a share once if finds a hash with a value bigger than 1000.

This doesn't mean its not hashing, it just means its not requesting a new block template until it finds a hash share bigger than the pool difficulty.

Now lets say a really fast miner connects to the pool say 200PH or something like that, if the difficulty was set too low the miner would soon overwhelm the pool with get block template requests as it finds lots of hashes of a low difficulty really quickly and the whole thing would look like a DDOS attack and the pool would stop functioning.

So, the pool then issues the miner with a much higher difficulty in order to slow down the number of requests to a manageable level. The managable level is 18 shares per minute.

The returned value of a share i.e. the hash can be anything within the realms of the total difficulty which I believe is something like 2^96

So by the pool telling the miner not to return shares that have a hash below a given difficulty the number of shares the miner has to submit are reduced, hence the pool manages its resources.

Anyway, I think I have that correct.
