I've done a little more investigating and have picked up a few clues as to why UNO's hash rate is low.
It appears that multipool.us has forked. I'm unclear why that happened. Possibly they were running the 0.9.5 software. I have contacted them by email and hope they are able to resolve it soon. You can see here that Multipool.us is on
block 806105 while
Chainz and the rest of the network is on 805996. Obviously if you check these pages, the numbers will be different than what I am stating at this moment, but they should generally match.
Zpool has merge mining offline for issues with their stratum server. Mmool is has all merge mining offline for issues with the new Bitcoin core. Syscoin pool seems to have dropped Bitcoin from merge mining, but still is merge mining UNO and all of the other coins.
All of this has resulted in a perfect storm to drop UNO's hash rate for the moment.
So if you miss the good ol' times of mining UNO direct, this is your lucky day! Dust off that old SHA256 mining rig, or go rent some hash from miningRigRentals.
You help the UNO network by mining at Pool.Syscoin.org, but you'll get NEOS payouts. If you want to mine UNO directly, you can still do that at
IPOMiner.com I pointed about 800 GHS at IPO Miner and I'm finding blocks.
I'm looking forward to getting Zpool and Mmpool back online for UNO, but we'll keep things moving along until they get themselves sorted. The UNO community is an experienced one, and will can step in to help whenever there are problems.
