The ping for me to EU server is about 32 ms. Currently we mine there. But the ping to Amsterdam is about 3ms.
Do you guys think if we switch, the rejects will be lower?
For sure |

OT: Did anyone else watch those 280x's come back into stock on Amazon for $305 earlier? Gone in like 5-10 minutes tops haha. Someone got in an order of either 12 or 16...jealous much haha
I stumbled across that, nearly wet myself, and then bought 4. They had a 2-per-person limit, so I created a second account real quick. ;-) |

For sure Currently our rejection is about 4-5%. Do you think we can lower it to 1-2%? |

Question - I have had 4 different computers connected to this pool for a couple weeks now. The first week-week and a half there were not issues whatsoever. 100% connection, everything running fine.
The past few days have been a different story. Multiple times a day now one of the computers (completely random on which one will do it when) cgminer gives me one of 2 errors:
either "Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted" or "Pool 0 stratum+tcp://useast.middlecoin.com:333 not responding!"
Then the last line says
"Waiting for work to be available from pools"
After that it just hangs and does not do anything. A few times it took me a few hours to find out it was not running, one time it froze right after I headed to bed so it was down all night. Typically my other computers chug along just fine to the exact same server without issue, or at least hang at a different period of time.
I know when I used cudaminer for my old nvidia cards before my 280x cards showed up, if it was disconnected from a server it would reconnect again after 15 seconds, or at least try and keep trying after 15 seconds. . I am not sure what is going on here in cgminer, and if it has a similar auto restart feature that would allow it to reconnect again after losing connection. Maybe it does and it is not working? Anyhow I seem to have a LOT of down time the past few days. If I notice it and then I close it down and restart to the same server, it seems to start right up again no problem.
I have tried useast and uswest as different bat files.
Also, is there a way to add multiple servers in the bat file to have it switch to another server in a case such as this? I am just trying to figure out what I need to do to get my best uptime.
Thanks in advance!

The port should be 3333, not 333  |

Use middlecoin.com:3333 as a failover. "pools" : [ { "url" : "stratum+tcp://useast.middlecoin.com:3333", "user" : "xxx", "pass" : "xxx" }, { "url" : "stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333", "user" : "xxx", "pass" : "xxx" } ] ..... "failover-only" : true, ..... If your cgminer completely freezes and is unable to fail over I would suggest looking into CGWatcher (if you are on Windows). I had it installed and set it up to restart cgminer after 30 minutes of no submitted shares. Good luck. |

@ Fat miner.
Try using "expiry" : "1",
And queue : 5
Scan-time : 1.
This vastly improved my wu rate to around 0.95 and dropped my reject rates to around 1% on Amsterdam and eu servers.
Also double check your network as though ping times are excessively high.
Use a direct Ethernet connection to your router from the rigs
Now, what do these settings actually do? |

I guess I just have not seen commands like that when looking into setting up my bat file. In that case would it be wise to add a 3rd server there like west? Thanks again for your help - eventually will have quite a few rigs running with a friend and want to make sure they will require as little maintenance as possible to save labor time. |

Here is the command-line syntax, just add it at the end of the command : --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS -p YOUR_PASSWORD replace YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS and YOUR_PASSWORD with your values and you are good to go. |

Anyone else getting about twice the rejects per the norm? I average about 7% raw rejects here as of the past few days.
Also, when is the difficulty going to return to normal? I'm willing to bet it never will go back to 512.

Let me know if I am doing something right. DOGE: DKBx8CMVnFwnea2uQ3RsLLB2CvQCFkzVT8 Cryptsy: 8981f2166046a5b587c4f86a2c994ec573a8a236 |

The diff really doesn't mean anything. "Blah blah blah, smaller machines yada yada yada." On of my machines is only 380kh/s. Still gets a 360 WU. (Gasp, that means I'm still getting the right amount of work submitted!!!!!) |

I am guessing difficulty is set that high for the coins being mined (seems like DOGECoin is the coin being mined for the longest). As for the rejects; I get around 5%. Check the server you are on, make sure it is the closest geographically to you. |

Middlecoin Hashrate vs. CGMiner HashrateYour hash rate in a pool database is an estimation* based on the number of shares you have submitted. *Difficulty 1024 = a shit ton of variance for a smaller rig Your hash rate in CGMiner is an actual hashrate based on the number of hashes you have submitted.
Please refer to the Bitcoin Wiki if you want to learn more information.
