TAG mines fine as viewed from my cgMiner screen   

Please add a TAG line to the stats page so we can see what it looks like to the database.

TAG is up for testing on 3351

What's your share difficulty set to?

That message happens when you get banned by stratum (for submitting too many shares above target, or for too many authorization failures).  It's supposed to last for 1 minute, but there were a few instances in which I had failed to set the variable BAN_TIME in the config, so it threw that error instead of unbanning you.

I thought I had found all the instances where BAN_TIME was not set but it appears that several of the PPC pools eluded me..  Those are fixed now.

I'm on pool1.eu.multipool.us:7777 for Scrypt mining using cudaminer.
The last hour i've gotten almost nothing but these time outs.


I only got through 13/13 Accepts for well over an hour now. This is not the first time either, it happens frequently.
Is it "maintenance" or something or is there anything i can do to fix this? Other pools work out just fine, but i often get a lot of these time-outs on this pool.

3.8.3 does not have a program called cgminer-nogpu.exe.

Your shortcut is probably pointing to the old directory. Delete it and make a new shortcut from the new directory.

Weird, extracted 3.8.x, but failed to change the shortcut to 'cgminer.exe' (was cgminer-nogpu.exe). And it's working.

Either MP fixed the issue or 'cgminer-nogpu.exe' is using a fixed file now that works with MP.

Wonder what caused this. It was the first time I've ever seen this error.

Has the site planning to add more sha265 coins?

I have a MP worker called BE just for Block Eruptors with Diff set to 1 on my Account page.
DL cgMiner 3.8.3 for your ASICs (cannot be used for GPUs): http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/
Use a separate folder for GPUs (3.7.2) and ASICs.
This is my bat file:
   timeout /t 10
   start /B /max cgminer.exe -c Block_Eruptors.conf
   exit
Create a shortcut and put it in your Start folder so they autostart every time you boot up.
This is my configuration file called "Block_Eruptors.conf":
{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://pool1.us.multipool.us:8888",
      "MultiPool" : " SHA-256 MultiPort ",

Nope, Block Erupters remain 'steady green lit'. And CGminer just blanks out and sits there until I 'Q'.

Forget the graph, get ANC and TAG online  

I've seen that a lot, on and off, and it just keeps on mining.

Can you mine 

Getting this when trying to use the Multipool SHA256 pool


Manual pools work just fine. And this worked as of three days ago with the same CGminer version.

The high difficulty should really not matter that much.  You will submit fewer shares, but at higher difficulty so your overall shares should be the same.   P2pool changed from 10 second blocks to 30 second blocks a month or two ago to help increase the efficiency on ASICs.

I tried re-enabling custom difficulty last night on one of the p2pool nodes.  The result?:

 Local: 572GH/s in last 10.0 minutes Local dead on arrival: ~23.9% (21-27%) Expected time to share: 33.2 minutes
 Shares: 1 (0 orphan, 1 dead) Stale rate: ~100.0% (20-100%) Efficiency: ~0.0% (0-96%) Current payout: 1.5889 BTC

Granted, it looks like we were on TRC most of the night.  But efficiency dropped on both p2pool nodes (I'm assuming the high CPU use on this node affected the other one)  So custom diff is being turned back off for now.

I hope that the p2pool author will address the efficiency of p2pool soon, there is so much hashrate out there that he could attract if the client ran a little better.  Right now we are on it until we hit around 25-30 TH.  Then I will switch the pool back to using Stratum for BTC (I'd rather stay on p2pool, but as of now it's really not meant for this application.)

In the meantime, the altcoin profits are more than making up for any perceived loss of income with P2pool.  Currently I have a profit of ~0.05371482 BTC over the past 24 hours with my Little Single (~28 GH), which is over 250% what I would have made just mining Bitcoin.

I'm going to work on getting a Profit/MH/Sec and Profit/GH/Sec graph up on the main page so people can see exactly how the multiports are doing, but it requires a little backend work.

Mine sure do  

That's the web being down. Has nothing to do with the mining submits and database.

However, to know what's going on look at cgMiner and press "P" to see your list of pools and their Dead or Alive status. MP seems to be dead at the moment. cgMiner will continue to poll it and when it goes live it will switch back.

Always specify "failover" pools as a safety back up.

Yes, this is a concern. I have both BFL Singles and Block Eruptors running. My BEs run great for FRC, TRC & ZET if I set their Diff to 1 on my Account page. Since BTC is a P2pool it operates differently and species the difficulty. P2pool moves very fast and I'm not sure BEs can keep up.

I feel like I'm getting credit for shares submitted by my BEs, even though my BTC accepts are very low, but I'm not turning off my BFLs to test it.

Flound, can you shed some light on this BE issue in the BTC pool???

Drops by 50 what units???

Click on Account and you'll see your 1 minute and 10 minute average hash rate. You may just be seeing a lag due to FTC not having hashed for 10 minutes.

If I watch cgMiner during a coin switch my miners do my miss a beat. The web page needs time to catch up.

Yes, here, too.  Seemed like my GPUs were still hashing accepted shares, but I switch to ANC pool for the time being.  I'll keep checking back.
