After last update stopped working a large number of BCN and XMR admin edition miners. Can we expect the resumption of their work?

Hello, we already have a new version of the admin miner, it is available for download here: https://minergate.com/downloads/admin

Site is down altogether for me. Can't log into miner, web page timesout. Don't know what is going on. Been mining for five days straight with no problems whatsoever.

Sorry, our server had connectivity issues, hope everything is fine for you now!

[nopedope89]

Hey guys!

Have you already tried to exchange coins mined on MinerGate to Superman, Luck or even a Sexy girlfriend?

April Fool's day brings you this opportunity on changelly.com  Don't miss out!

[CjMapope]

Does this site pay to their miners?

haha , yes they do
also if you use their software , you will find you control you own wallet with each coin, so no need to wait , or worry, about payouts
withdraw every time u hit a coin if u want till comfortable ;p
i personally have used Minergate damn prob a year now, Claude is the shit ;p
never had a problem there personally. (i like to mine XMR on laptops with Minergate send to eobot to buy hashpower haha)

[lockept93]

I test it.
Very easy to use - i like this. Perfect for newbies.

Hey guys!

The Minergate miner has been updated to v.6.0!

In this release we have added Ethereum to our list of cryptocurrencies!

As usually, all you need to do is download our easy GUI miner, launch it and click “Start mining”.

Here’s a pic:

DOWNLOAD MINER

Key features:
Mining Etehreum in one click: no system configurations and tutorials required, just run the app
Effective CPU-mining: With our variable difficulty, you can successfully submit shares in each block, mining on a usual PC
GPU-mining supported: The pool will automatically give you a more difficult task, if you have greater capacity*
* Supported graphic cards (min. 2gb RAM): Nvidia; AMD (OpenCL 1.1. and later).

Alternatively, you can mine on our pool, using Ethminer**:  
Ethereum CPU mining[ETH] : ethminer -C -F http://pool.minergate.com:55751/<YOUR_EMAIL> —disable-submit-hashrate
Ethereum GPU mining[ETH] : ethminer -G -F http://pool.minergate.com:55751/<YOUR_EMAIL> —disable-submit-hashrate

"GPU Mining Not Available" on v6.0

Running an R9 280x PowerColor, installed latest drivers.

GPU mining is not available in the GUI miner. But it will be released in early summer.

Until then, you can mine with AMD video cards on our pool, using ethminer and this command:   

ethminer -G -F http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/YOUR_EMAIL --disable-submit-hashrate

Just saw the eth miner. How long on average does it take to find a block or earn eth?

well its pplns, so there's that, you won't get paid till blocks hit  and on the site shows the pool hashrate so there's ETH calculators for that.
and you can also look on the blocks found history on minergates site like all their other coins...
are you seriously a hero member and cant use a little mining common sense to figure that out?
really man, no wonder people say this forums gone to shit....

Probably a rented or a bought account? That's highly possible. Even some Jr. Mems or Newbies know where to look.

[ChrisLandin]

Seriously guys thanks for your absolutely fantastic responses to my question.

I've been out of the game a long time and was asking for some help regarding Eth mining on miner gate and I get your useless responses.

Cheers.

Never mind though, I will do my own research. Your right though about one thing. With help like yours the forum is going to shit.

Hi there!

Sorry for the late reply.

The pool hashrate is constantly changing, so I advise you to use our calculator to figure out the current efficiency of the pool (as well as the efficiency of your hardware): https://minergate.com/calculator/ethereum

You can always contact our support team, should you have any other questions: https://minergate.com/support

How do you get the GUI to work with gpu mining works fine with CPU but I have no options for GPU says not available. followed steps to mining mines with cmd but not though minergate?

Hi!

If you are mining with an AMD card, then you should use ethminer to connect to our pool. The command is:

ethminer -G -F http://pool.minergate.com:55751/<YOUR_EMAIL> —disable-submit-hashrate

Here are the detailed instructions for different operating systems: https://minergate.com/faq/how-to-mine-eth-with-console

Also, Our GUI miner will be updated this week, featuring Ethereum mining with AMD cards.

[nopedope89]

Hi everybody!

As previously mentioned, our 1-click GUI miner currently supports CPU mining and GPU mining with Nvidia cards. AMD cards will be also supported in our updated GUI miner that will be released this week.

Until then, you can mine on our pool with AMD graphic cards, using ethminer.

Here are the detailed instructions:

Instructions for Ethereum mining with Ethminer on the MinerGate pool:

To connect to MinerGate pool and start mining Ethereum with console miner, follow the instructions below. Please note that currently we support official Ethereum client Ethminer.

If you don't find a suitable miner for your OS, please check for other Ethereum binary releases here.

Windows (win 64):

1. Download the latest Ethminer: https://build.ethereum.org/cpp-binaries-data/release-1.2.2/Ethereum.exe
2. Open cmd.exe

By default, you will see the following:

C:\Users\username

3. Enter the Ethereum folder. If you did not specify an alternative directory for Ethereum while installing Ethminer, just enter the following:

C:\Users\username > cd C:\Program Files\Ethereum

4. Once you are in the Ethereum directory, run Ethminer.exe with the following commands:

For CPU mining:

Ethminer.exe -C -F http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/YOUR_EMAIL --disable-submit-hashrate

For GPU mining:

Ethminer.exe -G -F http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/YOUR_EMAIL --disable-submit-hashrate

The DAG file will be generated. It will probably take a few minutes.
You will start mining, once the DAG file is generated.

To stop mining, enter:

Ctrl + C

MacOS X

1. Install the Homebrew package manager: http://brew.sh/
2. After the installation, execute the following commands in the Terminal:

brew update
brew upgrade
brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install cpp-ethereum
brew linkapps cpp-ethereum

3. After the installation, execute the following commands to start mining:

For CPU mining:

ethminer -C -F http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/YOUR_EMAIL --disable-submit-hashrate

For GPU mining:

ethminer -G -F http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/YOUR_EMAIL --disable-submit-hashrate

The DAG file will be generated. It will probably take a few minutes.
You will start mining, once the DAG file is generated.

To stop mining, enter:

Cmd+C

Ununtu (14.04 and higher)

1. Install Ethminer, using the following instructions in the Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethminer

2. Once the application is installed, execute the following commands to start mining:

For CPU mining:

ethminer -C -F http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/YOUR_EMAIL --disable-submit-hashrate

For GPU mining:

ethminer -G -F http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/YOUR_EMAIL --disable-submit-hashrate

The DAG file will be generated. It will probably take a few minutes.
You will start mining, once the DAG file is generated.

To stop mining, enter:

Ctrl+C

Nice to see you are going to be adding in the AMD support at some point this week. Already using though ethminer. Just one question regarding share submitting to pool. Why so many shares being submitted in less than 5 min submitted over 200+ with only 20MH running and looking at it was submitting shares every half sec or little longer. Is this based on difficulty that is set on pool? If so might want to have a variable one based on hash speed. And also a problem I have come across on pool is that mining with say 70MH pool never seen more than 45 to 48MH at most. Any idea as to what the cause of this is? Reason I ask this is other pools are fine or very little between actual mining power and pool report.

What has happened with you guys? since last night I can't open minergate new version on windows it says network error, and with browser
Can't open the site either.
When opening the windows software it goes to log in but after entering my password login button doesn't work.

The site was down for a while... At first, the homepage displayed properly, so I thought that it was just my connection that couldn't open any connections from my miner, but then I noticed that when I tried to login from their web dashboard, nothing happened, either. Then about 10 minutes later, the whole website went down. Thought it was just a backup, but it was down periodically for hours after that; don't know what happened.

All seems to be working correctly now, though. Are you able to get back in?

Well, actually our pool provides variable difficulty, which is exactly the reason you're submitting so many shares. The pool provides you the hashrate, based on your hardware, in order to let you submit shares constantly (which at first may look odd for GPU miners that are used to constant difficulty on other pools).

Our variable difficulty is mainly designed for those, who have lesser mining power (e.g. CPU-miners), but still want to mine Ethereum. In the case of our pool, CPU-miners can submit shares in each block, because the pool provides them with lower hashrate and lets them submit shares and make profit.

And also a problem I have come across on pool is that mining with say 70MH pool never seen more than 45 to 48MH at most. Any idea as to what the cause of this is? Reason I ask this is other pools are fine or very little between actual mining power and pool report.

I guess you are talking about the difference between your hashrate that you see in the miner and your hashrate, displayed on the account dashboard on the website.

The reason for this difference is that the dashboard hashrate is based on the shares that you submitted, while the miner shows the hashrate, based on your hardware. They simply use different formulas, so it doesn't affect your efficiency in any way and the pool uses your hardware completely.
