Can some one help me how to get proper hash on these cards

Thanks for your help

Block target is 15 minutes which equates roughly to 96 blocks per day. A majority of which are PoS, not PoW.

We're sitting at 1 mined block (PoW) in 14 hours. So your calculations are way off.

Yeah, I thought the block target applied to PoW only, didn't realize PoS was included in that.  I can't find any easy way to figure out how many PoW blocks to expect in a day so I just gave up, stopped calculating profitability for it, and stopped mining it ...

From the PoS information & details found on the OP:
Code:
walletpassphrase [passphrase] [timeout]

For the purpose of staking, shouldn't one instead use:
Code:
walletpassphrase [passphrase] [timeout] true

As I recall, the 'true' at the end of that command would stand for the wallet unlocking for staking purposes *only*, and otherwise still require a password for any other transaction types to execute. Just pointing this out as the OP does not have the 'true' parameter in there.

Yes, you're quite right Smiley thanks. fixed

Thanks for your answer. my 500 CACHs are sum of several transactions because I mined mostly from your pool. But still I mined from 06-03-2014 so at least I should have one stake transaction, right?
I can't open my wallet for 24/7 because I don't have stable internet but at least 12 hours / day. So I guess I just have my bad luck with CACH.

This should probably yield you some stakes, I guess probably more than just a single one.
Well, you can use debug commands in the wallet to diagnose the situation:

In the wallet, select Help -> Debug window

A console will appear. First, type "getinfo" command and press enter. Look for line with something like:
Code:
"unlocked_until" : 1711785161

If you find it, then your wallet is password protected, but it is correctly unlocked and staking should work

However, if the value is zero, like:
Code:
"unlocked_until" : 0

.. then your wallet is password protected and NOT unlocked and that is the cause of staking not working.
Use command
Code:
walletpassphrase [passphrase] [timeout]
to unlock it, replacing passphrase with your actual wallet passphrase and timeout is number of seconds for which the wallet will be unlocked (using something like 999999999 will unlock it for many years, or until you turn off the wallet :))

If there is no line with "unlocked_until" -> your wallet is not password protected and staking should work.


For estimating your staking chance, use command listunspent in the console.

If will list your unspent coin inputs. As staking works not on addresses, but on inputs, having your coins fragmented into many inputs will increase your chance for a stake, although the stake value will be smaller (stake value is certain percentage of input amount), as the inputs will be inevitably also smaller.

If you run the wallet 12 hours a day, then perhaps around 100 inputs will get you about 1 stake per day on average. If that command lists only few inputs (less than 5 or 10), than it may be just a very bad luck on your side. otherwise something is probably wrong :)

If all your 500 CACH will be in a single input, then a stake will yield over 2 CACHe, but will have small chance of appearing. If your money is in 20 equal smaller inputs, your stake reward from single input is only 20 times less, but there is about 20x more chance of some stake to actually occur.

Still holding CACH and wait for good news.

Regards,

I am holding all my CACH too ... I have some plans for services that may (or may not, but it is worth trying :) end up with increasing CACHe demand and therefore its value, but due to relative lack of time to implement them, it may take few weeks until I announce the results :)

I checked transactions in your account and transactions in the wallet and I have found no discrepancy. The lower payout is probably caused by block 13875 - that block took 915% of estimated time to found (which was very unlucky and statistically should happen with probability 0.5^9.15 = once per about 568 blocks)

You are absolutely right singula. I had noticed that 'difficult' block when it was just a fraction over 900%, and completely forgot about it. I later noticed no payout for a relatively large duration, but didn't correlate the events! Completely my bad, thanks for clearing it up.

I'm clear on the matters of luck, variance and pool dominance.
It's not by accident that I'm mining with your pool  Cool

Could you have a look at the pool's transactions around the downtime? I think I'm missing payout for a day or two of mining, even though the down time was in the range of hours or so. I'll only have access to my miner in about a week, so can't really provide any details on this right now.

I checked transactions in your account and transactions in the wallet and I have found no discrepancy. The lower payout is probably caused by block 13875 - that block took 915% of estimated time to found (which was very unlucky and statistically should happen with probability 0.5^9.15 = once per about 568 blocks)

Since my pool is much smaller than current biggest (dedicatedpool), that block took slightly over 24 hours to find. If you look at dedicatedpool, they have similarly unlucky block near that time too (Block 13937 took them 787.82% of expected time to find), although at their higher hashrate, this extreme unluckiness resulted "only" in 4 hours without a block (for a pool that is way over 51% of network hashrate it is quite bad result Smiley ). Smaller pools have larger earning variance in the same time when compared to larger pools - this is unfortunately inevitable.

On the other hand, for last 24 hours, the time needed to find block on my pool was only 69.73% of time expected by the hashrate, so everybody earned about 43% more than what would be expected (the bad luck was somewhat compensated by following good luck). In the long term, the lucky and unlucky days average out and people will earn about what is expected for their hashrate.

And when you compare long term average, at my pool it is still under 100% of expected time to find the block (99.60%), while on dedicated it is 103.52%, so whoever mined at my pool in the past earned almost 4% more coins with the same hashrate Smiley

- This coin was advertised as POS coin every week, and why after 1 month I didn't get anything from this POS? Could anyone please explain to me? Do I need to open the wallet and be online for 7 days straight ??

Is your wallet unlocked? If the wallet is encrypted, then it needs to be unlocked in order to get any stakes.

The stake is not guaranteed, it is sort of "mining" too, so you have some chance to claim a stake at every block (that is why the wallet needs to be online, to check if eligible to stake and if yes, then claim the stake block. This mean that if you are lucky you can get lot of stake transactions in single day ... or none.

The more you are online, the more you have chance to stake - if your wallet is online for only 12 hours a day, you have about 50% chance of staking coins compared to being online 24/7

My experience is a bit different, I get usually one or two stakes per day. Also, are those 500 CACH from one single transaction, or sum of several smaller ones? (mining, payouts from pool, ....)

Thanks for your answer. my 500 CACHs are sum of several transactions because I mined mostly from your pool. But still I mined from 06-03-2014 so at least I should have one stake transaction, right?

It was down due to some router malfunction or misconfiguration in the datacenter (the pool was actually up, but not accessible from the internet), but is now working again.

cach.catcoin.cz is down, Sad

But at least I setup a failover to the P2Pool.

It was down due to some router malfunction or misconfiguration in the datacenter (the pool was actually up, but not accessible from the internet), but is now working again.

Well, no matter at what pool you mine, you should have some failover, all the existing pools accumulated few hours of downtime during past few months, many p2pool nodes have simply disappeared (I remember seeing nodes from Sweden, Russia and Czech republic in the list ... no longer there anymore).

If you have one primary preferred pool and two failovers, likelyhood of all 3 failing at the same time is then very low, IMHO less likely than your internet connection failing (and in that case, you can't mine anywhere, actually .... Smiley)

cach.catcoin.cz pool down and no one even cares about that?  Angry

It seems like that coin will die soon like MRC. I have hold my 500 CACHs like a boss from the beginning and I have experienced something:

- Value drops from almost 0.009 BTC to 0.0015 now.
- This coin was advertised as POS coin every week, and why after 1 month I didn't get anything from this POS? Could anyone please explain to me? Do I need to open the wallet and be online for 7 days straight ??

Just my 2 satoshis.

But thanks for reading.

Regards,

keeping it on 24/7 increases the chances of staking, yes. If you open it only once a day for a few minutes, you won't get much luck in staking. That's the whole point of staking

I care! My miner is actually not accessible to me at this time, so I know it is retrying the connection but otherwise not mining while Catcoin.cz is down. Hope it get's fixed soon!

Cheers,

PS: Yes, yes, should have setup a retry timeout and a failover pool... Will make damn sure I do that before next time I got some unexpected and urgent travel coming up  Wink

Theres this CXq-address-guy with about 75 kh. How can he get more CACH than me with about 1.1mh?  Huh http://explorer.cachecoin.org/block/000000000c216b3eabc58316efd39145336e74f949b6a36fad6574310c9930ad

How do you know he's got 75kh? If you're looking at the speeds by a p2pool node, then that he's speed on that node, he may be distributing his hashrate on several nodes (which is good in case one of the nodes goes down, he won't loose shares)
