If you are solo mining or directly pool mining to your own PascalCoin client then yes this is normal.

If you trying to join a mining pool then this is probably not normal.

What you should look for in case of solo mining is general text activity on the miner... which seems to be the case and in pascalcoin it will say

Miner Clients: x connected JSON-RPC clients.

Where X is the number of machines/connections/miners you are running and connecting to it

(I am now pool mining on my own "pool" with 3 computers lol... will probably do this till 14:00 today... another 8 hours of mining to see if it makes any difference, and then this mining experiment is probably over for me... until I find a nice cheat/shortcut in randomhash then I may try again )


* update *:

I am going to stop mining on my main system and also the german shitty laptop (HP)... core i3... Boy does it make a lot of noise lol.

The toshiba laptop seems to be dead quiet though... which probably also was a much more expensive laptop perhaps also newer model.

The quality difference is definetly noticeable/hearable

I think I will keep the toshiba laptop running just for kicks.

Maybe tonight I will give it another try but for now the noise is starting to bother me... cya.

Short answer is...
PASC changed an algo on block 260000. Now it is a "random hash". It was supposed to be ASIC, GPU and Pool resistant. That is why nanopool and contron don't work.

If you need a long answer read this https://www.pascalcoin.org/storage/whitepapers/RandomHash_Whitepaper.pdf

Fine, i downloaded the rhminer for windows to give it a try with my 8700k CPU, but honestly, i wasn't able to figure out how to setup this ......
Any chance someone posts a step by step what how when where to do with the rhminer???

I found 4 blocks by solo last night.  Sticking w solo until issues are resolved 100%.

I have a nice Pasl account on the first page of wallet. 
And it's not dead. Almost none of the blockchain projects die.
Besides, Pasc isn't doing too well either.
I do enjoy the most the Pascal wallet with the account number system and functions.
I'd like to see Pascal type wallet succeed and be truly used widely.
Wages should be paid in Crypto, then adoption would follow.

Sure Pasl is a copy of Pasc. So? It never claimed anything other.

Now that markets are dying, maybe we can get back to playing cozy, nice blockchain games.  : )  Greed and money is nice too, feel free to do whatever you like.

Nanopool was dual-mining pascalcoin and ethereum... with randomhash this might no longer work ? So perhaps nanopool has quite.

One block was just recently mined by nanopool, could be an experiment, or a faker or a new attempt of nanopool

Zero blocks so far, had a toshiba laptop running all day, closed it 1 hour ago, I never really used laptops seriously, so I don't really know what exactly happens when a laptop closes, some shutdown, this one seems to log out or something... this caused the miner to fail with some weird header error message.

I just opened it up again and started it again... will try to mine this night just to see if I get lucky or not.

Using a laptop might have some adventage, perhaps it's a little bit more energy efficient than a big rig.

You write you have 9000 raspberry pis ?! Are you joking or what ? If not then a picture will help with convincing me... even better would be a paper with the following text on it: "Eat your heart out Skybuck Flying ! LOL" =D Place that somewhere near the rigs lol.

I was curious if you still mining and how, thanks for the update.

I am a little worried that perhaps RHMiner has a secret piece of code which disables mining... perhaps it's a scam... why would somebody develop this and then give it away for free.... hmmm...

Perhaps we should try original pascal coin miner and see if it mines any better

I am also a bit worried that the number of connections is influencing the mining... kinda notices this early on... though then the mining was super fast... just a few second and boom next block... though for bitcoin it also mattered, read something about that... it has adventages for miners, but disadventages for network as a whole.

Switching to UDP might be a better idea because it could theoretically support all clients, TCP instead might only support 65.000 clients cause each TCP connection needs a new port ?!?

Also another worry is maybe RHMiner is not seeding/using random number generator correctly ?!? Anybody checked this in the code ?

I was mining on nano all day.  I have 10 PASC stuck there.

I wouldn't trust them.  I noticed that they fixed an issue (this was around 7 this morning) and mined.  It is still broken at 7 pm.

Could you please PM me.  I have something for you.

I mined so many blocks, I feel like sharing the wealth.

Hi,

This broken issue could explain why it was missing...

It seems nanopool is just back the last hour.... it already mined 3 blocks.

Those 10 PASC are those from before randomhash ?

Ok didn't notice you wanted me to PM you... just read it in this reply to you... hmm... must be the tiredness and lack of sleep... or maybe you just updated it as I pressed reply... hmm ok.
