Does anyone do much "Load Balance" in the "Miner Configuration" with 3 pools at the same time with their S3?

Just wanted someone's experience with that before I tried it.

I did it with two miners for approximately 2 minutes.  I saw my estimated reward go up on Slush BUT my shares contributed to current round was -5816015570 [A negative number).  Don't know WHY it was negative?  So, I took it off of "Load Balance" and put it back to "Failover" in both of those miners.

I did notice my hash rate go down on ghash during that 2 minutes.  So, I switched it back to "Failover."

Anyone ever done this?

Load balance takes hours to even out, and because different pools end up running at different diff values, it may not look like they're balanced but will end up being so.

I dont know if anyone can help, but i have put my 3x Antminer S2 machines pointed at the pool, and they seem to be showing 0 best share, all my Antminer S3 machines are showing fine, but not the S2.

Just wondering if this is normal for the S2, or if its the older firmware thats causing the issue.

Im not familiar with the S2 so I cant be of much help  to you could try a brief run on the testnet to verify functionality i believe

Just tried one of the machines on test net, and it was working as normal, showing best share was fine.

Switched back and it went back to 0

Cant seem to figure out why

Try them on the tube solo pool which is on port 3334. Perhaps you have some old firmware that isn't fully compatible.

They have now been running for 24 hours, and the issue seems to have resloved itself, But thank you for the advice. Just hoping for some good luck now

Just as an aside, the testnet pool has solved 27 blocks to date. I'm hoping the one miner on there means to still be mining testnet coins.

priceless .  How much hash power is he or she using?

I'm quite sure it's intentional since the username has to be a testnet bitcoin address. They're mining with approximately 107GH. (Now up to 36 blocks and 900 BTC).

I have around 800gh pointed to you. Monday i will go to 1.3th. tues  1.8th

Is there anyway we can see stats per worker?

You can use a different Bitcoin address for each one.

I have a way of enabling that with a code change but it would require a pool restart. As I said before you wouldn't notice anything at your miners apart from the stats resetting. Do people want that for the sake of per worker stats?

Well ckolivas I'm up for it ... anyone else?

[Gws24]

I don't have a problem with it. Not like the stats are important for pool payouts or anything.

[-ck]

Done.

Enter your workername at the end of: http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/ or http://solo.ckpool.org/tube/workers/

Remember that if you have multiple connections going to the same workername the statistics will be the combined total for that workername.

Nice!

Thank you

You could watch the ckpool payout address from the OP and see when there are coins generated: https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ. I'm sure there is some software around that can alert you to activity on that address.

And good luck!

You can add it as a watch-only address on Blockchain. Then you'll get an email every time it receives a payout.

Yes this is correct, but bear in mind that address is shared amongst various solo ckpools, not just the main one (although there are no large private farm hashers at the moment).

The other way you could see is if you look at your cgminer output or logs if you store them as ckpool actually sends out stratum messages. It would send out a message saying solo.ckpool.org found a block. However there are of course no rewards unless it was you that found the block.

found my original block erupter 333 MHs stick and pointed it at your pool.

take THAT!  heheh

and yes I know, no one would be more surprised than I if it ever found a block before the heat death of the universe but I miss mining. and its on my HTPC that is on 24/7 anyway so I think I can afford the additional 2-3 watts and 1% cpu time just to smile when I see the ol' cgminer program in the task bar.

thanks ck!

See now that's the spirit

At only a few watts, what have you got to lose?

Any and all size miners are welcome.

As for those with bigger hashrates hitting this pool, good luck! You must have balls of steel.

The more I think about this pool, the more brilliant it seems. I'll bet no-one is ever going to fill the thread with complaints about 'luck'!

[wttbs]

This pool is awesome ! it makes mining exciting again

Hello everyone. My cgminer 2 times showed accepted. I found block? Wallet empty...

Nope, you found a block when ±25 (24.9 something something) BTC hits your wallet

I suspect you're new to mining. The accepted you're seeing is a "share", not a block. If you were mining on a regular pool you would be getting a share of the rewards with each of those. On this pool the shares don't mean anything, they're just feedback that your hardware is working and trying to solve a block.
