I'm using the latest dmaxl cgminer for my Zeus Blizzards and getting good hashing on westhash. you can find it here:
https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer/releases i set the price and diff in my batch file. seems all ok.
here's my bat file:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3333 -u 1CXXXXXXXXXXXz.5 -p p=0.55;d=1024 --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://useast.wafflepool.com:3333 -u 1CXXXXXXXXXXXz -p d=1024 --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u 1CXXXXXXXXXXXz -p d=1024 -S //./COM4 -S //./COM29 -S //./COM30 -S //./COM31 -S //./COM32 -S //./COM33 -S //./COM34 --zeus-chips 6 --zeus-clock 340
Your Thunder should be able to run at clock speed of 342. A lot of guys on the Zeus forum recommend that for blizzards to9o...but i find the 340 works best for me.
Hope this is a bit helpful.
My Antminer S1s and S3s aren't as stable as my Zeusminers on Westhash yet ...but their overall average is slightly better than Eligius and as good as BTCGuild. I think its just the way Antminers function. Will run them through the night.
thxs...yes i think i'm using that version as well...so you haven't noticed any change? it was all working fine...then poof nothing but problems...ugh why oh why did i decide to get into scrypt?
those first little dips was from me, trying to load balance a thunder between here n wemineltc...ya that didn't work at all lol
the first black line is from last night around 10pm cst...was thinking i should switch over when that started happening...my goto pool is wemineltc but they have had terrible luck so really wouldn't have mattered
the yellow line is all units at 16k diff rate
only been 92mins and now hashrate is slowly declining again...hmm i dunno
well that is one thing too...i've never had that time go longer then i think 15-20mins...now its at 92min which is good right? but the hashrate is awful
My miner keeps zero'ing out. Does this mean it keeps disconnecting my miners?
Why?
I am using latest minera with cpuminer for my gridseeds & a second minera using cgdmaxlzeus for my fury.
And I cannot use any proxy for Minera...
Either fix it or Ima have to go back to low profit clevermining.
Not to long ago everything was working terrific.
Don't fix something that aint broke damnit. gah.
it is broken...they split the sites up and profit has gone way down
or at least i think it has
My Blizzards have been hanging in all day. I had to lower the price to 0.55 tho. They would not connect at 0.60 even though there were open orders above that price with space for my 9.3 MHS. So I figure I am connected to an order that is only paying 0.56 atm. That is likely better than i will get on clevermining, wafflepool or any ltc pool atm.
I don't know why your Thunders are doing that.
For my Antminers, the same thing happened. They divorced themselves from BTCGUILD and connected to WestHash (my priority pool) when someone put in an order for .029. I had the price set at .0280 you see.
Anyway, they hummed along nicely for about 15 mins then jumped back to BTCGUILD ...eventho that order still had several hrs left to fill. Then, before i could re connect my Ants, someone else' miners filled the gap on West Hash.
So i set my price to .0268 and am now likely connected to an order paying 0.0270. I just did some math and hat will give me less payout compared to if i had them on BTCGUILD. So i have to re-set my price higher and let my second priority pool, BTCGUILD, take over....which it will. I am setting a price that will equal their payout....and i know all the buy orders on West Hash (except for 2) are lower than the price i have to set. The 2 that are higher are being filled by other miners so i know i won't connect to them. But if new orders above my price com ein, Bob's your uncle. My Ants will grab them.
Ya, I asked myself why did i ever get into scrypt. I sold off all my batch 2 Zeus Hurricanes when diff was beginning to climb. I kept my batch 1 blizzards as i can connect them to other circuits that are not quite full with my Antminers.
Call me crazy (or a contrarian) ...but I am thinking of getting a Batch 3 Thunder x6 under Zeus' 30% discount -ie: the one you get when you show them a refund from a competitor. I think scrypt diff will continue going sideways for awhile because my gut tells me that Zeus' competitors are gonna run into similar challenges. I think that's why Alpha decided to delay fabrication after tapeout. I am willing to bet others will do the same after tapeout. That will delay their fabrication just like it did Alpha's. It seems like scrypt ASICs are not as easy to roll out as sha256 ASICs. Interesting times indeed. Just like the old gold rush-lol.
