Topic: [4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool - page 330. (Read 4382810 times)

I have noticed that since around the time the total average hash rate changed to the last 60 minutes, the shares per worker display has become erratic.  It used to show any change at each page refresh, and the number of shares always increased steadily until a round ended; now the number updates only after an interval (I have not yet determined how long) and the number of shares sometimes falls:  for instance, just now when I refreshed the page one of my workers fell from 1933 to 1931 shares.  Some minutes earlier it had dropped from 2053 (and now I see it has fallen again to 1905).  The round and block number (299880) had not changed, the Mhash/s for each worker is within the expected range, and the time since the last share is usually zero.  The estimated reward also fluctuates wildly: while I have been writing this it has varied between .00002876 and .00007421.

Could this be anything to do with the high variance in payments per round that I am experiencing?  Has anyone else seen similar behaviour? 

I had this once and it cleared after I forced a page update (F5).  I hope that works for you.  No idea what caused it in the first place.

[Edit] There was a flurry of these last September.  It seems to have been fixed promptly, although I could not see an explanation.  Maybe my page refresh was just a coincidence.

Thanks,

But added a router rule to drop outbound traffic to that ip address - I have had it running for a week or so like this and see nothing in the router logs to suggest it was happening anyway - I'm going to leave it for a while.

Why is this showing up on the My Account page? and no I didnt change my address and yes my payouts are working fine.

I started with Slush and have checked out a few other pools, even bigger ones but now I have ALL my Gh/s mining on the Slush pool

Same here. I used Ghash.io pool for some time but moved to slush's pool.

Yeah Slush pool rocks! I have been sending all my hashing power to the pool!

Going to add two more Antminers to this pool this week! I really love the automatic payout system!

I use MultiMiner (mining software) and MobileMiner (matching app) for monitoring my small but growing farm.
The developer is constantly upgrading and improving the software and is currently adding X11 and other algo. support.

MultiMiner/MobileMiner has an alert option as well

I wouldn't know much about how to fight that, but an alert from my account on Slush when my miner's hashing hits 0 would work for me.

I wonder if this is some kind of DNS propagation attack.

YES! I have a jalapeno and it's happened to me twice this week. I find my miner heads off to IP 46.28.205.80 .

Thanks for the reply. I am running my cluster with a single Bat file and its almost identical to yours except no antminer details as i have BFL hardware. And im not a huge miner anymore. Haven't added hardware in months. 400GH is peanuts now. lol . I have not deleted my bfgminer.conf.

Its stange that i had it happen a week ago, then nothing. Then twice again this weekend.

Did you try the cgminer thread?

Enjoy the various antminers  (have quite a few U1's and 2's here...).  I did not mean to discourage you from posting, nor to offend you - apologies if you need them.
Had quite a few events here where the backup pool(s) came to be useful.  You can also 'load balance' among a few pools as a way to reduce the variance (you may notice that Slush has some great luck days and some fairly low luck ones, if you spread your mining resources you might fill the 'holes', but at the same time chop down the tall peaks).  Explore the possibilities of your mining software, it's part of the mining fun.

Cheers

(Somehow I don't think that a few Antminer U1/2's pose an interesting challenge to hackers.... )

Cheers

Hey I've got 2 more coming :=_)
BTW Here to learn not to make money ( YET }:> ) and that I'm doing
Thanks for new info and fell free to correct my noob theories when not to lazy

P.S. I'll try posting a bit less , but unless I don't ask answers are not given so bare with me plz

Running it from a BAT file does not offer any special protection.  Using a single pool without fall-over to a back pool (or 2) ignores the sad history of pools having server faults (like the flood in Slush's place in Prague) or being victims of DDnOS attacks.  It is a good idea to setup backup pools for such events, so that your mining resources are not left idle when your primary pool has some hiccup.
You probably need to secure your computing setup at home first (good virus protection, firewalls, UPS, surge protection, password management, updates etc.).

Mine was low to. But in my part my miners were redirected again right at the end of the round. So slushes antipool hopping code got me good. Is anyone elses bfgminer being redirected to the russian IP still. I was fine all week and got hit twice this weekend. My equipment is in a remote data room, running all BFL hardware. Good thing for API.

Things I wound helpful was checking that slush is the only pool in the pool list , deleting  bfgminer.conf and starting whole hing from BAT with SLush pool as only pool showing.
Seems to me that then work was done you will get bogus block from slush just to try and stop pool hooping.

What should happen is that once block is solved and no more new block are found all
your miners should start working on bogus block just to make sure you stay on slush
when it's dinner time

There is always Murphy's low , my computer went out yesterday and I only started mining this morning (there was an blackout with all the power in the house) so go
figure

When you want to use another pool do the same thing , single BAT that will show
your pool of choice as only pool (not active) buy only pool showing , when you want to go back to slush just use different bat and report results.

It's not that well done in BFGMiner I must say and you still have to monitor from time to time that no new pool found it's way in but it can only do that through bfgminer.conf file.My theory is that when your miner sees no more mork on slush it hops to pirate pool.

Anyway best of luck

My BAT EXample :

bfgminer -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Eagle92212.1 -p xxxxxxx -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981
 
Worked so far.

However high speed workers are probably better targets.

version 3.12.0 is available from BitMain on their support page(7th Feb update) not exactly the latest...................

Good advice mudb - already do that - was wondering how to install the latest cgminer on an ant s1...
