Both my machines stopped mining ETN overnight. CPUs are enabled but were sitting idle. I had previously disabled SUMO so I re-enabled it now and one machine started mining SUMO, the other is just sitting there with "Mining SUMO @ ∞ H/s"
I turned on the command window and the zcash miner came back with "Stream subscribe timeout".
Any ideas?
Me too!!
Here is the explanation -
Unlike a market place, WinMiner is a complex operation that goes through the entire cycle and process of smart algo optimized mining using dedicated pools, wallets, exchanges and USD gateways that turns users' hash power into REAL US dollars, and based on its live performance values the hash power price rate at any given moment. There are many steps, multiple entities, time delays, and many other factors and risks that need to be managed in the process.
When there is an issue with a certain coin (and they happen all the time) e.g. The leading exchange for ETN is not allowing ETN deposits due to exchange maintenance, as the case still is, the chain of monetization of that coin is broken which does not allow us to complete the monetization cycle which means that WinMiner can not sell the mined ETNs and therefore can not price correctly the mining of ETN. In such cases we may need to put that coin on temporary hold on the WinMiner platform, which is what we did in the case of ETN until the issue is resolved.
Running the full cycle gives our users unique benefit of preserving the value of their mining work - mining work is priced in REAL US Dollars (not in bitcoin which is multiplied by theoretical USD exchange rate) and user balance is kept in USD as well (and does not shrink when crypto coins take a dive).
On practical terms, our recommendation is to use the default "All coins" and "All miners" modes which allow you to benefit from the most robust opportunities WinMiner can make in the market, and allows your machine to seamlessly deal with such technical issues that may happen to certain coins, as we experience with ETN.
Hope this clarifies and hope ETN will be live again shortly.
Heads up - we have a new version coming out today (we hope), with a couple of important fixes (including a fix for the "idle" issue , some of you have reported)
