Litecoin 0 share sync
The technique of adapting the difficulty to each miner's hash rate allows the pool to measure workers' speed more precisely while keeping bandwidth usage optimal. How does share difficulty influence my earnings? A higher share difficulty can only increase the variance, but not in a significant way.
How is the value of a share a. The standard PPS formula is used: Do block finders get extra reward? That would go against one of the main goals of the PPS system , which is to minimize variance. It would also make miners who don't find blocks earn less, as the PPS rate would need to be adjusted downwards. We do list recently found blocks and their finders, but only for the sake of transparency. How do idle worker notifications work?
You have the option to let the pool monitor your workers and notify you with an email when they go idle. Monitoring can be enabled separately for each of your workers , so if you wish you can have the pool monitor only a subset of your miners. If multiple workers go idle simultaneously within one minute , you will only receive one email listing all of them. You will not receive further notifications for any given worker until it starts submitting shares again, and in any case not before 15 minutes have elapsed since the last notification.
Can I use an exchange address for payouts? While technically possible, we strongly advise against using addresses provided by exchanges or other third-party services. One of the main problems is that you do not fully control these addresses, and in particular if a problem arises you usually have no way to prove that you are the legitimate owner.
On the other hand, if you create an address on your computer using any wallet software, you can easily produce a digital signature. If you decide to use a third-party address anyway, we strongly recommend that you do not lock the address. This is because at any point an exchange may stop accepting funds to an address and require you to use a new one yes, this has happened. Why am I not receiving payouts? The exact conditions for payout are listed on your Payments page.
Please note that for your own security, whenever you change your payout address all payouts are suspended for 24 hours. It is perfectly normal to get this message a few times per minute.
It simply means that your miner is switching to a new work unit, because the previous one is no longer valid. Because of the stochastical nature of mining, frequent work updates which are necessary for efficient merged mining do not mean that your work goes wasted.
That is also normal for some mining software. I've just started mining and all my shares are being rejected, what's wrong?
Make sure that your hardware and software support scrypt mining, and that they are configured correctly. Configuring a GPU for Litecoin mining strongly discouraged at this point can be particularly challenging. My miner shows up as online, but with 0 speed. No, something is probably wrong with your configuration. See the previous question. Why doesn't the hash rate reported by the pool match that reported by my miner?
Because of how pooled mining works, the pool has no way of knowing your exact hash rate, so it can only estimate it based on how frequently you submit shares. After you start mining, it takes about 10 minutes for the estimates to become accurate.
They will never be very precise , though; even if your miner's hash rate is steady, the pool estimate will keep fluctuating around the actual speed. The pool keeps reporting a much lower hash rate than my miner. If the estimate displayed on the site remains consistently too low even after a few hours, then chances are that you are experiencing hardware errors.
Mining software usually checks every solution generated by your hardware devices, and if one turns out to be incorrect because of hardware errors it rightfully doesn't even submit it.
Since pools can only estimate your hash rate based on how many solutions you submit in a given amount of time, their estimate will be lower than your real raw hashrate.
This raw hashrate, which mining software usually displays, is, however, not meaningful if the solutions your card generates are wrong. If using cgminer or one of its derivatives, such as BGFminer, you need to make sure that all not just the top one of the HW figures are zero or next-to-zero; if that's not the case, you need to review your settings.
There are many things that can cause hardware errors, but the most common ones are: It is worth noting that modern ASIC circuitry tends to deteriorate with time and use, and that when one of the many hashing modules inside an ASIC goes bad there is usually no way to fix it. What are stale shares?
Servers provide each miner with some unique data that the miner must use to find a share. This data needs to be updated every time a new block appears on the Litecoin network, and that's why servers must promptly notify miners when they detect a new block. Every second you keep on mining for the old block is wasted, because that block has already been found. Stale shares are caused by latency, which can happen at various levels. The most obvious cause is a high ping time to the server, which however shouldn't affect the stale rate by more than 0.
Should I set the --no-submit-stale option in cgminer? No, you should not set that option. If you set it, your rewards may be lower.
It was originally proposed by Marek Palatinus aka Slush , who also wrote a proxy for miners that could only understand the getwork protocol. Today most mining software supports the Stratum protocol natively, but the Stratum proxy is still useful for reducing network bandwidth usage on large installations.
It is an extension to the original Stratum mining protocol, jointly designed by Slush and ckolivas, the maintainer of cgminer. If your mining pool supports the extension and your Internet connection has a hiccup, the server may still accept any shares that your miners found while disconnected, if they reconnect and submit them within a reasonable time. As simple as this may sound, it is actually tricky to implement this feature correctly, because Stratum is not a stateless protocol.
Why did my Google Authenticator codes suddenly stop working? It might be because the time on your Google Authenticator app is not synced correctly. I can really understand your fear, first time when I transferred my SBD to poloniex and they did not arrive there, my heart was about to come into my mouth.
I tried creating multiple tickets and they did not even care to reply them just some automated replies but soon after few hours I saw these posts flooding on the steemit I felt really relaxed. At least when others are having the same issue, it gives me some confidence, that someone has to take care of it. But it might be one of the biggest problems of crypto, that there are so many things that could go wrong and lead to loosing your coins.
I had the problem not with the wallet, but my financial data on my drive. I knew how you feel Thank you very much. I have same problem and I will try yor steps. If it works I will appreciate to you I feel for you mate: And happy you have got access to your assets again. By the way what is the safest ever way to hold you assets long term?
Is it paper wallet or some other option? Thanks, harware-wallets are usually one of the safest ways to keep your assets safe. Just make sure that you have your seed phrase at a very safe place and you even would be able to restore your wallets, when you loose or destroy the hardware-wallet.
When you want to use paper-wallets, you have to make sure that the paper-wallet is generated on a machine that never had any access to the internet. Otherwise someone could be able to intercept the private key. Ok, i get it. My main concern what happens if the hardware wallet gets destroyed or malfunctions. So you can just restore it as i understand now on a new one you purchase with the phrase.
And what about a mobile app wallet like Jaxx? Thank you for your explanation shortcut. Exactly, you can always restore your funds unsing the backup-phrase. My ledger uses a word phrase. Jaxx wallets can also be restored using a word backup phrase. The main difference is the fact, that your mobile phone is often connected to the internet and installing apps may potentially give hackers access to your private keys.
Here is a good overview about existing hardware-wallets. The funds on the ledger wallet always seemed to be safe, but due to the recent Bitcoin hardfork and Segwit activation, they had to update the Chrome apps very fast. That led to some bugs, I guess. Dear investors, yesterday I had some strange issues regarding my Ledger Nano S hardware-wallet. I checked the Ledger knowledge base and found some tips to solve this: When opening the Litecoin wallet I ended up being on a "Bitcoin Test" - Blockchain and the same thing happened when I was trying to open the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash wallets.
I was very short before heart attack and opened up the support form on the Ledger-site, but what I read there wasn't so funny either: Relieve I instantly felt a great relieve when I noticed, that I wasn't the only one having exactly the same issue. All I had to do was manually updating the Chrome extension to Version 1. TA-DA everything worked as expected.
I am able to access my Litecoin-, Bitcoin- and all the other wallets again! Have a safe weekend everybody! Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post. In the chome webstore I found following support request made about 2 hours ago: Today I also posted a support request in the Chrome webstore as I do not get any reply: Fingers crossed, that your LTC can be traced and returned very soon. Yes I still have hope. OMG that must have been a nightmare, scary as hell.
Happy you worked it out! Hmm i have my litcoins on poloniex and price is going up. You have to be triple careful with everything you do in cryptoland.
