We are aware of a bug that users see their hashrate on the dashboard/stats page showing 0. You can see if you are mining correctly by going to you're worker settings page and there you should see a hashrate. We will be fixing up this issue soon.

I was going to post this here, but it was a bit lengthy and may get lost/ignored/shouted down. Whatever. I blog as a hobby, sort of like aTriz and nearmiss run Hashco.ws, so I wrote up my analysis of the recent performance. Bottom line: I'm not saying nearmiss/aTriz are doing anything shady, but either their coin selection algorithm is somehow busted or there's something else causing Hashco.ws to consistently choose under-performing coins. The pool is jumping around alt-coins like a jack rabbit on speed, and virtually none of the selected coins seem to be delivering the expected returns. That's not even mentioning the 42 Coin rounds that keep popping up (and keep failing to outperform LTC). Ugh.

The goal is (or should be IMO) profits that are better than mining LTC, and looking at Coinwarz/Coinchoose there seem to be many options that are hitting that mark. Or perhaps stated better: the goal is to mine the most profitable alt-coin, so something other than LTC or BTC, but again there are many candidates that have been consistently above LTC during the past month. So if that's true, why are the coins selected by Hashco.ws somehow getting us less than half the profits of mining LTC? Is Coinwarz lying about profitability and Hashco.ws is getting mislead, is Hashco.ws just getting (really!) unlucky, or is something wrong with the coin selection algorithm? Or maybe something else.

I'd love to see the problem fixed, because I'm lazy and all I want is better returns on my investment. Hashco.ws used to provide that pretty consistently; since the hack and rebuild, I'm not sure I've ever seen us match let alone clearly outperform LTC. That's bizarre...and Middlecoin hasn't been any better that I can see, which is equally bizarre.

Manual payouts not working. https://www.hashco.ws/balances/cashout showing 404. Seriously, I'm out of here.

I agree. I've tried searching/reading on it but I can't find an explanation for this.

Is this a problem with HashCows?

Thank you. So do we have to wait until the next port switch to RPC to get paid for our current RPC? Won't the price have changed by then? There's more than one reason a multiport pool might switch to a coin (i.e. because the diff is low, not because the price is high) . . . so is it really worth mining RPC?

How can RPC be fixed?

Working fine for me since I last posted, but stlll no btc transaction visible in my wallet. It's been more than 1 hour...

Catcoin experienced the same thing, for the same reason.  There are a number of coins being created now by folks who do not understnad the dynamics of alt-coin mining and thus their coins suffer the same fate.  Stablecoin was also forced to make that hard fork as well.

Yawn . . . you have now been ignored.

Hey aTriz or any other Hashcow employee, could I get a small update please? I read back a few pages but all I'm seeing is trolls circlejerking.

I have 7+ MH/s mining with you guys for the past 48 hours or so (I've recently switched back to you after your hack) and I'm only seeing a confirmed balance of 0.02ish. Is this due to the newer fast retargeting coins and their difficulty/confirmation problems that I read about?  Or is this stat just lagging and not fully restored yet? Your pool was fantastic before the hack and I've been itching to get back on here because your pool is the best I've mined at; I have been seriously impressed with the way you all handled it and have certainly earned my trust.

I'm using cgminer 3.3.1 on half of my machines and 3.7.2 recompiled with the 5 minute stability code removed, so I know I'm on your server whenever it is up. I'm also on a high-bandwidth low-latency fiber connection.

Any light you could shed on this would be most appreciated, I will have 10MHs online soon and want to ensure I can actually pay it off at some point

From my understanding it is a little of both, days have high variability right now because of the very long conformation times of some of the coins. This has also had an effect on the profitability because they can't be traded until a day or even 2 later. From my experience my confirmed balance never goes above about .003 (1.5Mh/s) but my account credits have been around .005 to .01. I know those numbers are low but with the alt-coin market the way it is right now i'm not sure I can expect much more...


I have had a similar problem and I would guess it is a driver issue. I would try to uninstall the video drivers and reinstall first.
