Hello dear miners!

We are happy to announce that ASIAN stratum now is fully operational! And availible on all coins. Check details on connect page!

Zen pool's performance has been restored and is monitored 24/7.

Hello dear miners!

I think you know about difficulties with mining Zen on all small pools!?

So for now i see that BTCP is more profitable and our pools gives 20% than whattomine prediction on BTCP, plus BTCP goes on HitBTC exchages, so i recommend you to try BTCP mining on our pool!

I was out for a month on my personal issues, now i am came back and reday to help and support you!
Thanks Andreas for pool's suuport while i was out!

Also we plan to add more coins soon!

Why are some blocks remaining as pending despite more than 100 confirmations? Yesterday there was 1 block that was still pending with >200 confirmations, another with >150 and today there is currently 1 which is at 101, but only 1 new orphan over the last day, which is what I thought excessive confirmations indicated...

UPDATE - now there are 3 blocks with more than 100 confirmations - 294273, 294277, 294279 - and my balance has not changed in about 6 hours. The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. Clearly, then, I've lost my marbles...

Hello Friends, the RAM on the US server was swapped and the server is fully operational.  Since then we have found 4 blocks!!!  Good luck everyone and happy mining 

Dear Friends, there will be a small period of downtime on the US server later today. We need to swap RAM memory sticks. The server will be offline for a small period of time and should increase performance.

Thanks for your patience and the support.

Hello, this was a bug in all equihash pools including ZHash.  The patch was applied last week and the pool is fully protected against fake miners.  The pool was being protected against fake miners even prior to the patch by means of constant monitoring for suspicious activity of fake share submission.

Since the patch was applied fake miners are now identified automatically and their shares get removed.  Furthermore, we have an automatic banning system for miners that consistently submit invalid shares.

Block finding now is more consistent and predictable.   

I suspect this was the problem that affected the ZEN pool a couple days ago: https://blog.zencash.com/update-for-the-equihash-mining-application-z-nomp/

Yeah, that's not what I'm talking about. I understand that mining earnings vary with difficulty (and pool luck); what I was saying is that I was making a lot less ZEN per 24 hour period than the calculator on minethecoin.com predicted based on the average 24h difficulty and my average hashrate (which is a very stable 2800 H/s). When the calculator says I should make 0.26 ZEN in a 24 hour period but I only receive 0.1 ZEN then something is very clearly wrong.

Now one particular issue which may or may not have been the pool's fault is that no blocks were found for at least 16 hours then the pool kicked my rigs offline from, presumably, a reboot. While that could be a string of fantastically bad luck, I noticed that by the next morning 2 blocks had been found so I rather suspect there was, indeed, a problem with the pool which the (presumed) reboot fixed.

I want to stress that I understand all too well that computers sometimes misbehave and the proverbial shit happens, but it really irks me to see a message claiming the pool is monitored 24/7 and finding blocks on the very day the pool didn't find a block for 16+ hours and then apparently needed a hard reset...

Like I said before, I'd rather not stay on Suprnova because it consistently underpays by 10-15%, in my experience, and that has been the case for the last 2.5 days (so, nothing has changed there), but I also have to admit I am getting a bit wary of Zhash.pro because it seems to require a lot more vigilance on my part compared to the other 3-4 coins I am mining at any given moment.

Hello, Zen mining has gotten very difficult the last 2 weeks due to a massive 100% network hashrate and difficulty increase.  We are doing everything we can to increase the pool's hashrate and performance.  What you are experiencing with ZHash is basically universal.  All pools are having difficulty finding blocks.  Sometimes blocktimes (rounds) take up to 45 minutes when they should be taking 2,5 min.

I hope you stay with ZHash and hopefully things will get better soon.

Guys, the payouts have been sucking like a gaping chest wound the last few days again. My 2800 H/s is bringing in less than 0.15 ZEN per day on average (instead of 0.26); and in the last 10 hours I've only made 0.03 ZEN (instead of ~0.1). I really like to support smaller pools where possible, but this is getting to be so bad - and so consistently bad - that I am strongly considering switching over to evil Suprnova that has about 80% of the ZEN network hashrate.

UPDATE - I have now made less than 0.1 ZEN in the past 24 hours with 2800 Sols/s... incredible.

UPDATE 2 - the pool kicked me off around 9pm last night when I was still sitting at just under 0.1 ZEN so I switched over to Suprnova and in 11 hours have earned 0.0963 ZEN; pretty much exactly the same as the preceding 36+ hours on Zhash.pro. I'll come back if you fix things, but its going to take more than a daily message that claims "we are finding more blocks than any other similar pool."

Announcement: Apr 10, 2018 12:20 UTC - Dear Miners, There will be a scheduled maintenance on the pool today April 10th from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC. Updates will be applied and the pool will be restarted. Thank you for the support.
