you can always stop it , deleted the contents of the ./zcash folder (except the files we put there) and re-run it again … it will start from the beginning !! # but dont delete zcash.conf , poolrestapi.cfg , zcash.cfg the rest you can delete ---

delete all everything … leave /home/ivcelmik/.zcash (empty it except the config files) /home/ivcelmik/.zcash-params delete all the ZEC folder & download all again … they don’t take much time (only the fetch params & maybe the compile of zcash do) ---

For those of you with your stratum pools up: If you type “Screen -r zecnode”, what does your solutions per second on the node say? To exit the screen safely do the following sequence: 1. hold ctrl and tap a 2. then release those keys, hold ctrl and tap d to detatch from screen. Mine reports this:" Since starting this node 9 hours, 16 minutes, 2 seconds ago: - You have validated 8110 transactions! - You have contributed 0.0405 Sol/s on average to the network solution rate." Yet on my stratum webpage it shows i’m hashing ~3500 h/s Please let me know if your zecnode screen reports much higher numbers and if you are running gpu only. ---

the pool handles all your hashing and not the node, so unless you are running the node with gen=1 which will mine on its own away from the pool, unless you have that, the Sols/s rate in the node won’t show much. think of it like this, the pool is a layer on top of the node that is like one big miner working on its own, the node is only the medium to sync with the network. and btw, i wouldn’t recommend doing the gen=1 on the pool server, it will just occupy the cpu with more processing with very little outcome i hope this makes any sense 🙂 ---

if you have zcashd node synced … then if you type screen -r zecpool you should see your pool in action 🙂 also browse to it from your web browser 😉 ---

i really havent seen that error before … but we are on the zcash forum so no worries 🙂 this is more related to the zcashd node … so i would start a new thread with this and i’m sure you’ll get the solution right away. but … have you waited until zcash was synced with the network ? if it did , it should look something like this: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/2X/a/a6e862754bde63dfde7b541631aaf53e3d1b285e.png) ---
