post the copy of your modified batch this way next time....

use the when you post it.  Much easier than a photo.

you didn't remove the algos from the password.  I see you have lyra2 and skien enabled....   but the pool thinks you have ALL the other algos enabled.

Should look like this for your config:
The pool was probably trying to throw you on a disabled algo and leaving the stratum on your desired algos disconnected....

If you want to run one algo, I highly suggest just making a single batch per algo to test....


I.E.
skienonly.bat

hi ...

- the risers are the higher end usb30 risers ...
- the psu are 2 x corsair ax1200i 80+ platinum ...

they will be replacing the gigabyte 980ti extreme cards we have been mining with ...

as for the link - what link were you referring to? ...

you need to use alexis version, it give you better hashrate, but there is an optimized version of alexis which i think can give you another additional boost, it's called enemy or something, i can't find it, compiled with cuda 8.0

Pools calculate your hashrate based on submitted shares. The 24/48 hours earnings should match closely what you're supposed to get + there are more rejects with skein (about 5%) due to very short block time.

Got 518 DGB for yesterday with one 1080ti. That's about $19 as of now. I'm getting $20 with 4 x 480's. Strange times in the mining game

 alexis78 for me in my short testing was giving noticeably more hashrate (I want to say 15% or so but I don't remember the exact numbers) on my 1080, and a little more on a couple of my 1070s, for Skein vs the trpv 2.0 fork of ccminer or the KlausT fork of ccminer (which later pair seemed to give identical performance on skein).
 
 Definitely worth checking out for skein mining, though it can be a royal PAIN to locate a working copy if you don't have the tools on Windows to compile it from the github source code.

When i go to Zpool.ca and look under benchmarks the number on there is always lower than what the miner reports inside the window (1980-2020Mh/s)... on zpool.ca under benchmarks, its showing 1898.63Mh/s for Skein

Hey bud, could you help me a little in regards to the NemosMiner-v1.7.4-ZPOOL...

I followed the directions, added my BTC address, then "REM" all algo's to run 1 at a time to get the hashrates to place in the tuning line. I for the life of me cant get the miner to run by "REM" all except SKEIN, it just fails to start... the only way i can get SKEIN to work is by allowing atleast 2 algo's open to cycle through, but the miner switches between the 2.. i dont know how to get it to run ONLY skein....

If i cant only run skein, then i want to finish tuning the hashtag line, so it properly runs the most profitable one..., but for the life of me i cant get any algo to run except Lyra2v2 and Skein... all others fail when starting the miner.. so right now i managed to get it to stay on Skein, by setting the lyra one lower than it should be.. but i would like to get equihash and lyra algo's figured out on running them, because when i go to what to mine.. and plug in my hashing rates right now it is saying equihash is my most profitable algo to mine..

I dont know how to insert the code like you do, but basically this is how its setup

I try to exchange the coins myself. If you hold on to them a little bit you can get more BTC for them. DGB price went up the past day from 1087 sats to 1460 and climbing. When I sell all the DGB  I made in one day now, I get more btc. Makes sense to go this route. You can even hold for longer if you think price will go up more.

The pool still shows lower numbers but within $1/day difference. You should be getting whatever whattomine says for your hashrate.
This is very close to what I'm getting: http://whattomine.com/coins/114-dgb-skein?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=1000.0&p=250.0&fee=5&cost=0.0&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

if you weren't on the alexis build, you were probably not earning as much as you could....  there's rumor of another build, but so far its just smoke and mirrors....   people are becoming more greedy when sharing with the community.

That link can change over time as it has a few times before.   That's why I only reference to look for his thread, and it's right up top on his first post.

I will personally comment:   On zpool:  there are good days and bad days.  Just the same as any other pool.   But Ill repeat;  the good days outweigh the bad days.  If you were on the lyra2v2 port;  you would feel this issue 10x as more like I did before I swapped to skien.

The EXACT point when people started accusing zpool of stealing is when the altcoin market was reaching it's all time low and BTC was worth just a little over $200.  It's easy to blame the pool when you have a lack of knowledge.    Around this same time, the pool code was updated, and the graphs were now showing the rejects on the graph as well.  This freaked the living crap out of people because it wasn't relative to the coin's hashrate;  one reject on a very low hashrate algo (like cpu algos) would cause the whole graph to be superseded by the larger valued reject number (1-10% instead of the share of .01%, etc).   Through this time, people were pointing wild fingers, and probably blaming the pool for them being on a non-profitable algo.

Remember;  people create their own optimized miners and run them to get a better cut of the earnings:  more profit from your pocket.  when you finally catch up, suddenly it doesn't seem so bad.   This is another VERY key element to this madness.

Third:  PEople base shit off of SPECULATION posted on other sites that do contain a LARGE amount of POSSIBLE error since it is going across many platforms and algos that all contain their own errors and thus it can compound the error GREATLY.    This, with enough research and critical thinking can be seen and understood; on top of being logical.  I.E.  the people who have personally told me that whattomine reported less earnings than they actually received.


Now;  let's consider the troll factor:   Whales buy, and convince you to get on board enough for them to sell at a profit.    Who runs whattomine?
 Where were their profit stakes at those points in time?  Would it make sense to sway people away from what you want to do so you can buy in lower, then recommend it later to sell higher?  this makes PERFECT and REASONABLE sense.

You guys have to look past what's in front of you and look deeper to what you don't fully understand.   You can't form a conclusion on your math for yesterday, just because your test of the next day came out different then the day before.... etc.   Remember;  I keep repeating:  The good days outweigh the bad.  It fluctuates.

I do remember seeing one test that bothered me;  which was someone mining a one coin algo, earning ~90-95% of the rewards, getting paid out in that specific coin, and getting paid less than originally was unconfirmed.....   But considering the pool gets paid in BTC....  some has to be exchanged to equal the pool's percentage...  which means selling at lower than market "sell" rates and fulfilling a lower buy order in order to payout the pool and the miner..... making a minimum sized sell order, etc.... it adds up.   That's one way I could have understood that happening.... but also;  the guy was not 100% of shares.... so his diagnostic was flawed, because he was basing his hypothesis on how the pool works on solely that concept (I should have gotten all the rewards, which is false).

Another thing I keep mentioning, and seeing, is when pool hashrate for an algo crests a certain amount;  profitability drops a bit and luck smooths out to being less noticeable just like when difficulty shoots up..  When the skien pool was 10-30Gh, I was making a killing.   Now that hashrate is ~10x that, It's less profit; and the coins are worth buttloads more (DGB anyone?).    This is a complete fact in my eyes.   I am almost thinking of getting a group of people on board for a test;  see if crackfoo will create a second skien wallet, on a separate port, and have ~10-20Gh of hash dedicated to that port only.   We can compare this to the high hash port and test my hypothesis.....   But I am still working out the details on this.  When I was making ~10-15% pool hashrate on the same gear I am running now;  (before calling you guys to come earn) I seriously made a killing compared to any other algo and profitability went over 0.007mbtc/mh/day.

Sorry for caps guys, but it's for emphasis and I don't feel like adding all over the place..[/code]

Well i just UP'd my game in the mining power.. i caught wind on another post of a ebay seller selling GTX1080ti's NEW for $598 w/free shipping, so i snagged up all 4 cards he had left for sale... which will bring my total up to 6 x GTX1080ti's coming up soon... I also bought 4 more waterblocks for them and some fittings.. going to see if i can support them all on my single watercooling setup i currently have...

I am not fully sure if i can even add all 6 to my current motherboard... It has 2 x PCIe x16, 1 PCIe x8, 3 PCIe 1x... if anything ill be able to add the 3rd card into the system tell i figure out what to do with the 3 others.. I do have my old computer in the garage with a 850 watt PSU that i could cram the other 3 into... i would just need to get card extenders for them and a larger psu for it..... right now im pulling 237watts estimate each card.. so 3 should put me in the 700ish range in my main rig....

What is your actual wallet numbers? The reason i ask this is because according to the page of the mining pool i was using zpool.ca it was estimating im going to make like 28-30usd/day worth of BTC with my pair of GTX1080ti's... but the actual BTC i made in 14 hours mining was on par to only make $11/day... so the estimation vs actual earnings are WAY OFF>...... and i was bouncing between 900-1000Mh/s on each card... so 1800-2000Mh/s



also could you give your input on why you went the no autoexchange route? just trying to learn from all of this... Im currently using JAXX wallet with auto into BTC....

The reason people are saying that zpool steal 30% of your earnings is because they did - but they don't anymore.

I tried it myself with a Baikal Giant a few months ago and compared to other pools, I received about 20-30% less (can't remember the exact percentage right now) than any other pool. It's been talked about in their pool thread for some time and the first thread was closed because of it. They didn't even try to hide it because it was all very obvious when looking at the statistics of mined coins.

They have, however, changed that - at least last I checked, so they don't take that amount of percentage anymore and should be on par with other auto-exchange pools out there.

But yeah, the reason people are saying that zpool are "stealing" is because they were. But not anymore.

After much digging around, I was able to find this link buried a few layers deep (or just confusing to trail) :

NemosMiner-v1.7.4-ZPOOL: https://mega.nz/#F!5vIGUCzC!nLsQtAwDRiV8MYA_P-q9yg

So...using ccminer tpruvot 2.0 cuda 8.0 in which I placed ccminerAlexis78.exe. 1080 ti, getting a hair over 1000mh/s. (Should there be any issues here I'm not considering? Compatibility and so on?)

I point it to miningpoolhub, no autoexchange (i get the coins in poloniex and convert them there).
1st day ok, second day around 15% over what calculator says, 3rd day going down, 4th day even lower (about 10% lower than whattomine).

So is the fluctuation in coins produced/day that large? Is the diff changing that fast? Bad pool?
It seems I'm missing something here...

I use the alexis78 version and my nubers are pretty much the same

Ya when i got home from showing houses to customers, i checked it and my 14hr progress was 0.00169487 BTC, which is very low.. noticed under my wallet that for about 4 hours my hashrate dropped to around 80-100Mh/s....I started back up on Nicehash tell i get ahold of other miners to check out, maybe the Alexis version is what i need... idk

I keep daily logs - your numbers for skein is right on par with what my numbers are - for the past week. I will probably switch it out to something else see if I get better returns

Anyway you could point me to the ccmineralexis78, im not really seeing it under the link you have..?

Im curious if there is a way to set it up to mine the most profitable one like it was on Nicehash miner does to include Skein... i really like that feature....

In regards to the numbers im seeing on Zpool on skein, im not sure if there is a delay in the reporting of how much im earning.. but based on the BTC it says i have earned so far and the time i have spent doing it.. the numbers just dont seem to add up compared to the Skein Profit Calculator even if i put slightly lower MH/s numbers the site is listing me at..

When i was running NiceHash, i averaged 0.00637982 BTC/day with it set on auto choice....
Since running the Skein on Zpool, i have mined roughly 0.00146808 BTC in roughly an 8 hour period, so going off that number so far im looking to only get to 0.00440424/day

I am going to let it continue to run on Skein for a few more hours while i go show a few houses this morning, Im a Real Estate Realtor... but its looking like the skein route isnt as profitable for me using the current ccminer im using on Skein, maybe the alexis78 version would be better and push me back up to the same numbers as nicehash...
