do you have a beta user thread going for bug reports? I have found a few glitches and some work arounds. For instance, splitting hash rate between minsty pools on SHA seems to work fine for my rigs, but adding an external pool seems to throw it into 100% rejects. Same external pool will work fine if you point 100% to it. Also many times when do that, it will hang and not work getting all rejects. I have found that restart cgminer on the rig fixes it, and the problem looks like 10.1K diff and all discarded on the rig side. After restart the diff will go to more normal size like 1.1k on my S5's and hashing will resume.. I also catch it on rentals who rent my rig. They try either a non working pool or to split it in a way that puts it in this state. If i do not catch it they can be stuck for hours with zero hashing, restarting cgminer for them fixes.
Solo mining pools also have very hard time if put into a split hash rate, but seem to work ok at 100%. Terraminer rigs seem to work only on mintsy pools, and will not hash on external pool if split or not.
And also I would really like to know if and when rental payments will be released, or what exactly is happening with that?
Hey roger! I'm the dev for the backend of Mintsy here, loved your input on the diff and issues you're having. We're away of the dropoffs and have been getting them a lot on our side of things with the contracts. Have been trying to figure out why its been happening and its been hard because I dont have access to the contract rigs. Going to get Paul to make the vardiff changes on the pool and would love to hear continued feedback from you since you provide awesome detail on these things.
Rental payments will go going out real quick here, the guy writing that stuff is writing up an escrow feature and testing it right now. Users only pay for what they actually get.
