Suprnova's ZCash Pool zec.suprnova.cc

Confs are now set to 101 as some of you guys were so impatient :slight_smile:

Yes, leave the dashboard open for a few seconds until the stats start to float in, that’s okay, it’s a counter measure against a ddos variant where someone would constantly poll the initial stats and cause an overload in the backend. Once these attacks stop I will enable normal behavior again but currently someone is really trying every possible thing to get the pool clogged.

Thanks for all your hard work OC :slight_smile:

Pleasure :slight_smile:

I had some mails asking for a static diff port for nightmare kernel or so, what is that? Can someone point me to that miner? I can’t understand why vardiff shouldn’t be better as I don’t see any problems with it currently

I also suggested that earlier today. I mined a lot on Feeleep’s pool long time ago, I think it was ETH. And he made an inofficial port for static diff which turned out to work much better than vardiff. With vardiff the hashrate/difficulty pairs in the dashboard were all over the place and far from reality and invalid shares were high. Static diff ran much more stable and almost zero rejects.

Who don’t you create another address to receive the coins? You’d have separate addresses for each pool.
In case you’re transferring to an exchange, you could create a new address. Or just create a new address in Jaxx, as they just implemented ZEC in its wallet.

Regards.

Hmm… Well. IMHO static diff ports are not needed as the pool should usually figure out whats the best diff for the miner… So how often he should send a share as the pool also keeps the stats about stales, rejects and the pool “sees” what the miner is able to send.

But… If you like static diff… And think its really better… On all suprnova pools you can simply set your diff through the password field… Maybe I should mention that somewhere in the FAQ ? :slight_smile: I thought it was known… You can just use d=8 as your password and you have diff 8… Like on the yaamp pools (i actually copied that feature blatantly :))

So something like:

nheqminer -u suprnova.1 -p d=8

would give you diff 8 after the first sent share.

However, only fixed digits are possible and not below 1.

Thanks for the suggestion re # of threads. I do remember reading the same thing but disregarded it. So I did reset it to -t 6 and ended up with the same H/s and Sol/s. Just fractions of a difference. Then for kicks tried -t 7 and got a slightly higher Sol/s. Nothing to write home about, but have kept it there. Will install the update now and see what happens.

Stumps, can u help a brotha out? Anything important I need to know before installing the Linux update? As stated earlier, I’m not a coder and it took me a while to learn how to work with the terminal / line commands. System has been running flawlessly for nearly 3 days, and I’m a little nervous. Is the following it? And would it be done in the same terminal window or would I create a new one?

  • sudo apt-get upgrade
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt install qt5-default
  • sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libboost-all-dev
  • git clone https://github.com/sarath-hotspot/nheqminer.git13
  • cd nheqminer/nheqminer
  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • cmake …
  • make

Just checked the machine I referred to and it was running the nicehash fork. So if you want to follow what I did, it’s really straightforward:

Go to GitHub - nicehash/nheqminer: Equihash miner for NiceHash and work through the instructions. Create a new directory on your machine (mkdir suprnovamining or whatever). When you get to the point of cloning the repo (git clone), cd into that new directory and run it there. Make sure you specify -b Linux in the git command like it says. Then just follow the build instructions as far as you can.

Note that the structure has changed since what you originally installed, and therefore the build instructions. But if you were able to build the original, this should also be a copy/paste effort. Go slowly and see how it goes, I strongly suspect it will be a piece of cake. HTH.

@ocminer The pool website (Statistics > Blocks > Block Overview) says the pool’s share is around 50% of the expected shares. Does this mean the pool has been in a long lucky streak? Are you sure the calculation is correct?

Also, for some reason, setting static diff works only with Genoil’s miner but not nheqminer (your fork, GitHub - ocminer/nheqminer: Equihash miner for NiceHash). The dashboard shows the diff I set for the Genoil workers but still vardiff for NH workers.

You da man. I owe you … and will likely never be able to repay you in kind.

NP. Btw, beware there’s a formatting problem on that page where a header is messed up. You only need to copy paste the first three lines to apt-get, clone and build. The stuff below it is CUDA stuff which you don’t need for CPU mining.

To run, cd into the /suprnovamining/nheqminer/Linux_cmake/nheqminer_cpu directory and run using:
./nheqminer_cpu -l zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u (myaccountname).Worker1 -p (myworkerpassword) -t 6

-t 6 for hyperthreaded quad core, don’t recall what processor you had but use whatever you were using before.

@ocminer Sorry, I got lost… How can I integrate latest nicehash Linux CUDA_TROMP solver into suprnova miner?
I tried with git pull, but got “Already up-to-date”

every time I try to fill in the “Payment Address” and click the update button, the site always tells me it fails to update my account…Is that normal or I did something wrong?

And the “Payout to” is disabled

So How can I transfer my ZEC?

Happy to report I’m up and running! Thx for the heads-up on the formatting problem. (Wasn’t going anywhere when copying and pasting that!) Also happy to report that I went from 16 Sols/s to 28. Not the 30+ I was hoping for, but the upgrade definitely helped.

Glad to hear. Every little bit helps :wink:

Sparkle look in the middle of the screen, not the bottom :wink:

You’re at the wrong section

still couldn’t figure out how to transfer my zec…

What do you mean by middle of the screen, the “Account Detail” section?

I tried these:

  • fill in “Payment Address”, “Automatic Payment Threshold” and my PIN in “Account Detail” section, then click update button. But the site always tells me “Failed to update your account”

  • fill in “Payment Address” in “Account Detail” section, and PIN code in “Cash out” section. Then click the cash out button, but the site tells me that I didn’t fill in the Payout which is disabled by the site…

What should I do now?

Does it just say failed to update? Or anything else ?

I tried like dozens of times…and failed every single one of them…

Sometimes is “took too long to response”, sometimes is " Failed to update your account: Failed to update your account"…

If I don’t leave my Payment Address and Threshold blank, and just update some other fields of my account, I succeeded the first try…
