Sent, thanks!

Can you please PM me your IP so I can trace some of this data?

Tried the copy and paste thing already, didn't seem to make a difference.  I am able to access rx.biblepay.org fine in a web browser.

No problem, we've had a lot of people that want to destroy us in the past .

So first let me attempt to remove the confusion so we can isolate the issue.

So, the normal behavior is (in the dual hash world), we will attempt to generate both XMR and BBP at the same time.  The XMR is always in one of two modes:  XMR or XMR-Charity.  So we don't actually have any BBP-Charity, just BBP (right now as is).  And we don't alternate back and forth between BBP and XMR, we actually constantly try to solve BBP *and* XMR simultaneously.  So you should generally see 1 bbp (1 diff) share solved on the screen about the same frequency as seeing the 1 XMR (1 diff) solution.

So the alternating you saw was normal, but that was strictly on the XMR side and did not contribute to the problem.

I read the other post and see that when you watch the screen you constantly solve XMR, but you never actually solve a BBP share - at all.
I sort of confirm that when looking at the server, I never see your address at all (on the BBP side) but I do see your XMR address passing through solving XMR shares - they are not on the display of the pool because your Pool updates are not coming through (IE the solution packets).

So, next I need to see why you aren't connecting BBP solutions.  Hang on.

While I poke around on the server can you please try one other thing - although it appears useless, could you please try pasting the one-liner that starts the miner and mine directly from the command prompt and not from the batch file, just to see if you solve a BBP share?  Also be sure to be on port :3001 for now (that is the easy port).

Are your network settings normal on the miner, IE does it have a default gateway and a dns server?  IE it can reach the internet and resolve the host?  Long shot but it could be it does not know how to resolve the DNS name when submitting a packet.  When that miner goes to a browser, you can connect to rx.biblepay.org without a problem?

My  bad my bad.. Just saw none of my rigs displaying any bbp shares and couldnt connect to rx.biblepay.org  pool either .

Anyways looks good now. Thanks

Actually scratch that, there was a similar BBP number showing up in the pool that I confused with my own.  So no, I guess I still don't see any BBP shares in the pool.  Still generating XMR though....

Please do not post things that are not true here.

As you can see from the bottom of the OP post, violating those rules get your messages deleted and then you get banned after that.

Just to clarify, Borg is the only user so far that I know of that is not generating BBP shares.

** High Diff block transition **

So at block 184675, we have a high difficulty situation (which was to be expected) - and that is not an easy match for RandomX to solve.
Although the diff is 5000, after the block is late (that is 30 mins after 606 am CST), the diff drops to about ~500 (roughly), but obviously that is still going to be a doozie to solve.

Hence the reason it is taking so long for this block.
The other issu(es) going on:  There was a technical issue in the pool (the pool at rx.biblepay.org) and it has now been corrected and I see the miners are now mining on it on 184676 (good).

One final thing, if you have any extra biblepay nodes running (not VMs however), could you please 'setgenerate true 1' just to get the solo miners on temporarily.  Then when we get back to normal we can shut them off.

Thanks.

If it comes to that, but we have some other levels we can go to first, like verbose logging on the client, then capturing the traffic on the server for the address and adding some logging, etc.  I will come back and check some other things with him next.

Not sure whats the problem with no bbp shares, you are not alone.

As for the when its charity mining it stops like you say mining to you and instead to the monero charity adress. Its normal and its only xmr it does not alternate between xmr/bbp

i think Rob be sweating bullets fixing blockchain  

Rob, maybe wireshark capture will help here ?

Well I tried making a firewall exception and running as administrator but nothing showed up on the pool after I had submitted several shares.  I did as you suggested and checked my Monero stats, and yeah it looks like I am indeed generated Monero shares.  I took a close look at the output of the mining exe and I noticed that each share that was accepted was XMR.  I kept an eye on it for awhile and saw that most of the work I was getting was XMR.  Eventually I got a job from rx.biblepay.org-charity (as opposed to rx.biblepay.org), and that one turned into a valid share for XMR-Charity but it still did not show up in the pool stats.

Also something I noticed, when generated for biblepay.org-charity, it stops generating for XMR.  Is this normal?  Does it alternate between BBP and XMR?

I just thought of one other possibility, try adding an exception to the firewall for the bbp-xmrig program.  It might be blocked from transmitting the actual solution.

A shortcut to this is to temporarily shut off the firewall, test it, then make a rule later if it fixes it.

Maybe try running the command prompt as administrator first, then mine that way as admin.  Next as a separate test, try mining from another windows machine with the same batch file contents.

Lets see if its the machine.

I would not remove the monero address, no, as its looking for that.

Also let me know if it says it solves both BBP and XMR, or just XMR shares.

Nope, no dice.  What if we try to eliminate the monero address entirely?  Is that possible?

Also while in there please try
--threads=1

(instead of --threads 1)

(Doubt thats it but please try anyway)

Hmm, we will have to keep checking things one at a time; next thing, when I look at your Monero address it looks normal on the screen, but I see a potential special character between the "8G" and the "mbu".  I found this by copying and pasting.

Can you please see if re-setting the address fixes it?

Sorry, still no luck.  Not showing on pool status after several accepted shares.

Hi,

Could you please try upgrading to 5.6.3 to see if it fixes it?  It could be that the release this morning changed something that is not pool compatible.

Thanks!  I will look at his address next.

I just double checked mine and it showed up a few seconds after my first share was accepted

xmrig-bbp-win64.exe -o rx.biblepay.org:3001 -u BDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdG -p 48xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcM.d esktop --threads 6

Removed the .Borgholio from the XMR address and I'm still not showing on the pool website even though I'm getting CPU shares accepted.
