any best guesses on when miners are likely to be done dumping this coin into oblivion?

i will just post this one more time. LINK TO MINER FOR SUPRNOVA POOL.
AMD or NVIDIA.
http://cryptomining-blog.com/8121-siacoin-sc-stratum-mining-pool-now-available-in-beta/

ok. i'll stop now. i don't mean to hijack this thread. i just think people are missing out.
cheers!

they are all mining another coin i guess... but indeed something is weird about sia... almost no one contacted me (for the miner)

but i tested for a few days and rewards are much better on suprnova than nanopool
We maybe soon Wink What are the hash rates 750ti 980ti  ect.
this pool is sneaking in under the radar.  even a few 980ti's will get you handsome rewards. give it a go. you don't need a massive GPU farm
no find blocks = no rewards
find even just a few blocks = $$$
there are so few miners on the suprnova pool. and ten minute blocks with still MASSIVE payouts.


put it this way. i have bought 1 ps4 game per day.
i have bought box sets. and other stuff.
all from this one pool.
 Grin
With what hashrate ?
you can see me on the suprnova pool

looks like we finally went to a new block on suprnova, but it needs more miners. Suprnova has the lowest minimum withdrawal of all the pools I know. c'mon let's get some big hash power on it!  Grin

I was going to, but it doesn't work with the Claymore miner.

BLOOOOOOOOOCK!!!!
mua hahaha. i am rich again  Grin
for the suprnova pool, i got the miner from this link. for anyone who's interested.

So, I've noticed a few weird things in the Sia GUI wallet.  I'm getting regular withdrawals and I'm not sure why.  According to the "Hosting" banner, I've got 0 active contracts, even though I made 2 different broadcasts to try and host.  Yet still, I'm seeing some regular withdrawals.

58 hours. oh the pain

There's 47 active workers on suprnova. I don't understand how a block can be be so big and/or difficult? What's the deal???

After finding out there are 3 current efforts for stratum mining, we'd like to propose a standard that works best for all miners and pool ops.

We've outlined the specs here: http://Http://siamining.com/stratum

Major benefits include scalability and future proof protocol.

Good to see you finally also believe that stratum or tcp based mining is necessary, however, there is already a stratum based protocol available which works fine on suprnova (https://sia.suprnova.cc) with a recent version of sgminer: (https://github.com/bitbandi/sgminer/tree/sia) and I don't see it necessary to rewrite or reinvent the wheel again.
A compiled, good working windows version is available too: http://cryptomining-blog.com/wp-content/download/sgminer-5.4.0-sia-windows-x64.zip


The stratum based implementation already has all benefits it can have like vardiff, tcp based connections, low stales, low rejects and reconnecting to the last job after a connection failure etc.

I've documented my implementation too and already posted it to several developers, if anyone has further interest, don't hesitate to contact me.


Couple points:

  • VarDiff is independent of stratum. We already have it implemented with getwork. It's been available on our pool since day one.
  • You point out that you have a working version of stratum based protocol that works with your pool. However it lacks features. If stratum is necessary for the long term success of pools and mining, then it is worthwhile to implement it properly. Our protocol is true to the intent of the original stratum. As it is miners who build the Merkle tree rather than the pool.

There is no way our protocol could be described as a "getwork over TCP", and if you do not agree we suggest that you re-read the specification.

Our work is also publicly documented. Anyone can read it and criticize.


I see no advantage over "true" stratum how you call it versus getwork over tcp until you have a mining farm of multiple Petahash running. Entropy is fair enough with my implemenation, pool efficiency is > 98% and I have reports from miners that they don't have any issues at all with duplicates or stales which they had on your pool. Also the miners are established and well tested.. Everyone knows and used sgminer before, everyone knows how to tune mining using the Intensity and worksize settings.

GBT-TCP (getblocktemplate over tcp) would indeed be a real advantage and also something new which would improve things a lot, allthough there are also some disadvantages and security risks.

I remember you saying in Slack that stratum is not necessary at all for Sia, so i'm a bit surprised about your sudden turnaround and the sudden fork of "my" sgminer and your custom stratum implementation. It would have been much, much easier to simply implement the already working stratum, work together and release it instead of going this way, however, some people seem to like to reinvent the wheel.

However, technically I see no problem in supporting your stratum version too on a separate port, it will just be confusing for the miners who don't know which miner and port they should choose.. IMHO "keep it simple" is better Smiley

I'll be releasing my stratum modules and MPOS mods to the public, there is already a second pool integrating and testing everything, when this is successful people can choose what they use and open their own pools too.

50 HOURS GEEZER!  oh man this was the sweetest pool ever.  up till now. gnnnrrrgh i hope people come back.  i will try and get a few miners to come over. i can't give up the bling.  Grin
